I fell back asleep and dreamed that I was a teen again and a runaway and found myself I. Like the middle of nowhere south, but somewhere along a swampy coastal place. I didn’t have any money and just happened across this super nice family who offered to buy me dinner if I just

Listened to their evening service at church. I agreed, and the service was normal standard nondenominational Christian junk... but they kept referencing a holy war and I, foolishly, was mostly tuned out and just kind of assumed it was evangelical bs against queers/lgbtq+ etc so

Later at dinner I realize like... this church is kind of made of up huge families. Like it’s not a big church maybe only 150 ppl total and most of them kids, but all the families are like 10-20 people big. But I’m just trying to eat fast so I can leave bc I’m getting the heebie

Newbies but like... they’re so nice to me? And one fo the grandmas can see I’m tending up so she starts to talk to me and introduce me to the others and against my will I’m starting to relax again. I know I’ll going to bolt as soon as dinner is over, but outside of church and

As long as I don’t slip that I’m gay, these people are kind of alright. Weird but funny. The dinner is starting to wrap up tho, and the... what do you call the leader of a non Catholic Church, a pastor?, he stands up to let us know the ceremony has ended and that the family I’ve

Been invited by has the honor of leaving last, and attending the final buffet. Again, I’m super weirded out but the grandma besides me seems excited and just explains it’s a desert buffet in the back for take home, and that all the best stuff is saved for last. So I’m weary, but

Also your boy hasn’t had chocolate in like.. weeks so I wait. After all the other families are gone we all start to file back, with the grandma and I at the end. And when we get to the back room it’s literally just another little area with some buffet serving things and plates

And TONS of deserts. Normal Kim is not a desert person but dream Kim is because they were going HAM. I just kept piling on deserts bc the family offered to pay and I wanted to save some for later. And everyone kept encouraging me. And by the end it was only the grandma and I left

Filling plates. I have three rn. I remember something being said about speed being important before we entered this room and I didn’t realize why, but as I approached the register to leave, the grandma already there, the woman in charge of this buffet said something about “b/c of

Recent outbreaks and an uptake in skirmishes, the honor has been upped from one to two” and the grandma gets the horrible stricken look on her face and starts stammering and pleading because apparently this is bad??? And two other people come in and grab us and start putting gear

On us, liek leather harnesses and stuff and you know how with dream omnipotence you know everything, I started to understand that the holy war they talked about was against kaiju... this area is on a rift and they’ve been able to contain the kaiju so far but they have to have

Sacrifices to pilot the jaegers. (These are much smaller only one pilot needed). 99% of the pilots die, but usually the sacrifice of a human life is enough to ALSO banish the kaiju so either way it’s safe.

Anyway that was my dream. You prob expected cannibals lmao
