Rui Shinichi | The Velvet Room

This dream... Or rather, it didn't feel like a dream to him, but there was no other description he could think of. After a few sentences, speaking of roles and decisions, he indicated to cards upon the table, to select one and decide to move forward. He already knew what he was going to do, so without hesitation he was one of the first to walk forward. No one would recognize him, but he won't recognize the others either. As he stepped forward, he picked one of the face down cards on the table seemingly out of random, and upon flipping it, it would read "The Fool". The Fool...? The card number was zero too, and the picture on it looked like someone hitting the road, what with the knapsack and everything... This card definitely didn't mean he was an idiot then, but it looked to him more like... Learning? What was he about to learn or experience...? Before he could think any further though, he felt his body be pulled back, and his vision faded as if he'd backed away through a door.

Rui Shinichi | Home - Sunday

"Ugh...", rising from his bed around 10 AM, he rubbed his eyes and got up for breakfast, along with the normal morning rituals... All he could really think about at the moment was that dream. Tomorrow was going to be his first day at school, so he still had the Sunday to do whatever... What to do though... He didn't feel like going to the arcade again today, was there something else to do around here? His parents weren't here right now... They said that most days they wouldn't be at home too. As he went to clean his dishes up and put them away, he saw a note on the table, beside some money.

[i]Can you please get the groceries today? List is on the fridge[/i], it said. With little delay he walked over to the fridge and there it was, a list. Just the usual stuff, milk, eggs, some vegetables, etc. There it was also stated he had enough extra to get something he liked, probably just spend it on a bit of candy or something then...

"Well, I guess that's what I'll do today", he conceded to this little task, got changed, wearing jeans and a nice black double breasted coat and got going.
