And we have arrived! LOST N FOUND market is nothing short of lost goods! Everything belongs to you so you don’t have to pay

You are still new to here, so let me guild you through the place while we’re at it, How exciting!

New lost items should still be in the BIG SORT MACHINE Which is at the very bottom of the market!

ducking trip later...

Here’s your lost changes and forgotten clothes!

These are your Fond but Forgotten memories! Since they’re forgotten, Watching them would be like watching a movie you’ve starred in!

Cant recall any of these...weird

Now THESE are something that will interest you!

This is the“PREMIUM-ULTRA RARE DREAM JUICE TM”

Now preserved in liquid form! evaporate when used!

Oh! The Exclusive Section! Don’t worry,since they’re dangerous for consumption, These items are exhibition only!

CONSUMPTION?!

PLEEEEAAAASE

Not on me, but if I did, it will create a lil-worm hole!

...Paradox? Worm hole? Gross

CLANKCLANKCLANK-

CLANKCLANKCLANK-

Oh! There is a lot of stuffs in here, So don’t get too excited!

CLANKCLANK-

Ready?

Now check THIS out!

CLANKCLANKCLANK-

CLANKCLANK-

Have I really lost ALL of these stuffs?

We should climb to the top of the items, that’s usually where the new stuffs are!

need rope?

Sometimes you loss stuffs without knowing it!

it’s only natural~

Noice!

With all these stuffs around, I’d never run out of supplies!

Someone I could talk to Someone that could show and explore the place with...

How exciting! Isn’t it?

Exhilarating even!

However, with only me around, it does get boring

I wish I could share with someone...

Soo would you like to bid goodbye to your boring old life,and join me to a new life,Sal?

errr ya know.... How should I put this...

CLANKCLANKCLANK-

CLANKCLANKCLANK-

CLANKCLANK-

CLANK-

I dont actually remmember you that well, Ya know?

I see, looks like you don’t understand what I’ve just offered you.

That’s why you here

CLANKCLANKCLANK-

woaaah dude your aura is a bit much rn! chillax! heheh or we could still be friends ig idk?

It seems that extreme measures SHOULD be taken afterall... I will just MAKE you understand, MAKE you fell like staying...

Regardless of your answer,good thing I’ve came prepared

There’s something I need to show you, But first,I need you to take this pill.

The RED PILL?! What is this...?

That’s it ya know what? You can keep my other Airpod as well, as a parting gift

Why does the pill smell funny btw?

Thats it, PEACE OUT!

So you think that after I’ve “showed you the ropes” around here, I would just let you go? no questions asked?

Very naive of you, Sal...

NOT THE PUNS!! YELP!

Inhale a single breath of its extract is enough to send you to dream land...

The Dream Juice TM Not sure if you heard, can vaporize in room temperature.

If you have cared,ever, you would’ve known...

Don’t worry, I should join very soon, untill then...

Did I just got kidnapped?

Ive totally napped, that I know for sure,heheh

Hi Sal!

You want hot coco?

@#$%!

slurrrp-

I DID told you I’d join later, Forgotten me is one thing, not paying attention to what I’ve said, I’m really hurt,Sal...

pfffft screw you!

Imma get outta here on my own!

See ya in a MILLENNIA!!! SUCKER!

slurrrp-

snow-

Wow! Time sure flies! A millennia is gone before you knew it! Did you miss me Sal?

grunts

Say one more word and Imma shove dat mug down yo-

Please don’t finish that sentence, kids are watching.

Come sit down with me, The movie’s just started.

scoots~ turns-

oof,cold

Shut your none visible mouth and drink dat coco.

Did you know why I kidnapped you, just curious.

haha,ok

errrr like if Id know, maybe cuz ya never told me why?

Let me guess, Is it cuz Ive said sth stupid?

I did say I dont remmember you? I mean...It does sound like I ABANDONED you,

Not on purpose tho.

Or is it the cancer rash on Pomme’s wrists? Did I cause dat? Damn

Hey uh sorry about the whole...ya know...

...

Haha!

What are you talking about?

I kidnapped you just so we can have fun! That’s what dreams are for,right?

Oh! So you dont actually hate me? What about the wrist rash thing? Was it not me?

Will thats a relief, maybe we COULD be friends, afterall...by the way, cool dream sequence, did you make all this?

floats-

pfffff that was kinda sick! getting kidnapped was great so far

floats-

Oh! the stars are comming out! Ig time doesnt work the usual way in dream land huh

NYOOOM-

All this is YOUR dream Sal,you are the one who made all this up in your brain, but you’ve forgotten it

So in a sense I DID lost this dream, Well good to know my dream good Your Welcome

There are more dreams I can show you too! It’s sort of a collection a compilation,if you will Hell yeah I WILL! So what do I need to do? Clap?Snap my fingers? Do a kawaii pose?

All i need you to do is to close your eyes

Yeah but how are you gonna know if I did close my eyes? Check out my hair! ...FINE Whatever,eyes closed, Lets do this

And we’re back!

Was that fun?

I mean it was YOUR dream, so I shouldn’t take credit for it...but how was it?

but your rash was getting worse tho...you good?

Already? Damn...

Were technically bros now, maybe I can help?

Its not half bad ig

No...I shouldn’t trouble you with my problem, if anything...it wouldn’t be a problem anymore...let’s say...

Time is up Sal, I will now open a worm hole, it should send you right back on the bus.

I need you to leave whenever you are ready.

I should explain the situation to you.....

It’s something quite sinister... Something that could quite mean LIFE or DEATH to you, The dream world is a safe house though...

However,I suspect that someone is trying to break into the dream realm, that’s why I suggest you to leave asap. Nah screw that. Aint going nowhere

And perhaps I DID predict that you would say that...isn’t it quite selfish?

You want my help or nah?

So you are not in trouble

Fine,as much as you would wish to help,I am nothing more than a lost cause by now. However,you still had a chance.

SOMEONE drag you down here for a reason...for something quite valuable...

“PREMIUM-ULTRA RARE DREAM JUICE TM”

wouldn’t be quite rare if you’re around...right?

If they manage to capture you, they would MAKE SURE you can dream as much as you could, and forget as much as you can

wreck-

Who else could it be? Sal?

Who is it?

I was suppose to trick you to your demise yet I’ve failed, I will be punished.

When you walk out that door, IT will be waiting there, IT will guilt trip you, make you feel bad.

crack-

But don’t let it trick you Sal, be as nonchalant as possible, like you always were, haha...you’ve never changed.

It’s nice meeting you, Sally, It’s been fun and all

That’s it, You should’ve looked away, Haha,now you have PTSD

Especially for pomegranates

Good luck, see you in a millennia,right? Don’t miss me, I’m just a figment of your imagination afterall

...And remember Don’t Trust That Duck.

goodbye.

See you in a millennia, Pomme it will be faster than ya think.

plop-

So we have meet again,Sally Peppa, How was the little getaway? Did you have fun?

...Or did something happen? Would you like to talk about it?

Please don’t mind my TRUE form

Sally, let’s talk about our head dream researcher,Pomme, And the consequences of you leaving here.

Pomme was a great part of the team, despite joining down here much later than I did He catch on so fast!

Seems like you’ve get to witness the death of Pomme?

Horrific,isn’t it?

He waited for too long,Sally. His death was simply unavoidable.

You see,our lifes isn’t infinite, The more we’re forgetten by you, The more we’d cease to exist.

many more like Pomme,

As for your dreams, that is the only way for us to get to interact with you!

However, If you choose to stay here,perhaps many more would be safed

Many ones you’ve abandoned

Ehh...

So what would you like to do? WILL YOU STAY?

I don’t believe you btw. Also,dream were made to have fun,and so were memories.

eh, just a hunch

YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME... WHY?

In the middle, why did you...ask

Also where’s your mouth hole?

I see what you’ve done

Damn you Sally Peppa.

And I get my earbud back! SWEET!

THANKS POMME!

Wooaah! Looks like it worked!

Making it eat my entire body DOES create a worm hole!

I quit.

rip-
