[IC] deep sleep defenders

Taco took a bight out of his bagel and spoke the muffled words that explained his experience to the man drinking coffee and holding his head in pain, clearly having a hangover it was surprising he would listen to such nonsense patiently. As the talked a young lady knocked on the door and the other man left to answer, leaving taco to himself. It was a cold day so the supply of large jackets he never seemed to discard when he left new England was a huge help at the time, having to walk to his jobs it would have been a hassle if he didn't live so close. Though taco didn't make heaps of money from his numerous jobs but was happy with them, he was with people that were like him, not always in the drop out part but in the sense of food and comics and nerdy stuff that he usually kept to himself. As taco entered the store he sat down and grabbed the drawling he had been working on for a while, his drawling skills were far from expert but he had a lot of time on his hands and had been perfecting it for a while now. The drawling was of a large beefy man who was clearly a viking, it was a direct image of his dream character. As he sat there a young man came up and asked for help on the card selection, taco nodded, dreading this would happen, he never wanted to see those magic the gathering cards again after the last tournament when someone rage quit and started ripping things up.

"right this way man" taco said in an energetic voice.

Samanta woke up in a rush, the alarm didnt woke her up and now was late for classes "damn it! damn it!" she quickly got dressed and with bread in her mouth she ran to highschool, she was late for maths and history. "oh just in time" the biology teacher said. Samanta too her seat, all she could think about was her dream

[manapool1]

Taco was pleased by the surprisingly nice attitude of the man who asked him about the cards, he had never played the game before but was an eager learner, asking many questions, looking at all the different elements,reading into them, in the end he bought a few white packs and left, unfortunately he was the only nice person there, everyone else seemed to be unkempt, over-weight and ready to yell at him for any price they saw as outrageous, anything they didn't sell or things he didn't know, many times he realized nerds could be the worst but they were the only ones who got rid of the d&d sets that his boss trued to pawn off at him so many times. He felt wrong that he actually owned a set as well as a few home made quest, and many of his girl friends felt the same way, leaving him for being to into fantasy.

Lunch time arrived, Samanta felt really tired, the dream she had was horryble, she had killed a person.
All the could do was to lay her head on her desk and sleep during an hour.
When she woke up she was in a forest, she could see a way, Samanta walked for hours, there were animals she had never seen before, suddenly a bandit stood in her way
"hand ver what you got!" He shouted, Samanta stepped bak and prepared her sword

[manapool1]

Taco layed back in his chair it was around the time when most people who came in were just reading the comics instead of buying so there wasn't much he had to worry about especially with the surprising amount of security they had, no one was going to try to steal from them. As he lay back he drifted of, having been out most of the night waiting for his room mate's 'special buddies' to leave he didn't get much sleep, and neither did his room mate. As he lay in his chair he faded into a world wit his long braided beard and blond hair made him realize were he was. The two axes were another indication. Instantly he began hacking through the black blobs around him as he was done so many times, it was surprisingly relaxing for the day he was having. After finishing them off he ran into the woods and dueling with the wildlife, not to the death but for a fun match. As he ran around he noticed a stick up in play.

[BK201]

"stay away" Samanta shouted and held her sword with both hands, the swords clashed, it felt so real, her hands shaking,
The bandit made Smanta trip, and when he was abput to kill her she extended her hand and something like a thunder, a flash or somehing she could not describe ame from her hand and pierced through the bandit's chest, he fell on her knees dead.
Samanta was horrified, she picked up her sword and ran away, she could see a village ahead

[manapool1]

Taco was taken away by what had happened, she had killed the man with some... thing that came from her arm, she was clearly not a good person to him at first but as she ran past him he realized how scared she was and with that he ran after her.

"wait up, what was that all about"

[BK201]

Smanta got to the village, it looked as the medieval villages from the movies, farmer coming and going with cows and sheeps, children playing with sticks, and women collecting eggs from chikens.
Samanta looked around saw a bench, she decided to sit and think about what had happened, she was then distracted by come kind of viking that ran into the village

[manapool1]

"oi, do you just run from everyone, I saw what happened out there, what was that all about" said the out of breath viking

In real life taco had long since fallen to the ground and was snoring lightly, drool fell from his face and plopped onto the rug under neath him, something about the dirty, toe naill filled room made him feel at ease.

[BK201]

"i-i...how should i know!? i just did this and this!" Samanta shouted aking the same moves she did when she used her magic, but nothing happened this time, Samanta was really scared, it was a new world and strange this were happening

"that toung woman, is a spell called "sword of light" a really old man with a cloack said

[manapool1]

"well this is diffrent, meeting someone with powers beyond there knowledge is very rare" said taco trying to play into his role as best as possible.

[BK201]

Samanta looked at the old man "sword of what?" she asked confused "ooh man this is getting worse and worse" she stood up
"Sword of light, its a powerful spell, here, take this"The old man gave Samanta a scroll "this will help you master the spell"

[manapool1]

" try it out my friend"

[BK201]

Smatan opened the scroll, it was a really long explanation about the spell
"i'll check it out later, thank you anyway" Samanta said to the old man, he just nodded and left

[manapool1]

Taco was awoken by a customer who was trying to by a large set of comics, and after peeling the toe nails and bubble gum off his face he proceeded to check the man out and sit back, the girl seemed to act like a real person not some comic girl he wasn't sure what to make of it he wanted to go back to sleep but the sudden jolt had woken him up quiet well and he could not close his eyes again... no matter he could wait for the night, he was sure to meet her again if things were going as they were.

[BK201]

The viking man dissapeared in a blink "w-wha..." Samanta was shocked, he was there and the next moment he was gone,
Samanta had nothing to do so she started reading the scroll, at least she could undertand it, it was not english, but somehow she knew the lenguage,
Lunch time finished and a classmate woke her up
"damn,,,that dream again..."

[manapool1]

Taco was grated by a fellow of the same name, as his boss walked in and gave him a chicken filled soft shell with onions, green peppers and various other vegetables all topped off with a coat of cheese and gave the same cheesy joke of 'you cannibal' before walking into a room behind the counter to proceed in his average duties and hours of final fantasy that taco always wish was his job, one day. As he got up and ate the beefy crunch (beefy as in big) he remembered the reason everyone called him that. His room mate used to had tacos in the back of the refrigerator but stockpiled them until they could not be hidden and taco was forced to eat every last one of them and pass out of the ground were everyone found him and took pictures, from that day on he was taco.

"Mao Amatsuka!!"
The teacher yelled out with such an angry tone. Mao bolted straight up, scared. "Omg." She sighed of relief, "I thought you were that creepy dude in my dream!" Mao said laughing and giggling awkwardly as her classmates laughed at her.
"Next time you sleep, I'll kill you." The teacher walked up to her and hit her in the head with the book. "Gosh! Fine.." She mumbled putting her head down and slowly closing her eyes. "MAO!!!!" The teacher yelled one more time. Mao stood up, shaking. "Ahh!" The teacher's forehead was red. He was angry. He pointed at the door and yelled, "Leave. Now." Just as soon as he said that, the lunch bell rang. "Yesss! Saved by the bell..." She mumbled pounding her chest. Everybody ran out the door chatting with their best friends as Mao sat there, lonely. She was figuring out what her dream had meant. "Hmmm..."
