they were like, cheap knockoff versions of those anime character plushies that people like to buy sometimes, and i picked out the p5 protag and some other character i've forgotten so i could give them to my sister

there was a lady whose identity i've forgotten who was like come on guys, let's go! but there was also this large wartortle/bulbasaur combo who was huddled outside the train moping about how there was nothing we could do and how wandering out into the wilderness would only mean death

so the two of us headed out alone, leaving the luggage behind (i think we expected employees to take care of that at some point??) but i still had my carryon bag with me (with the plushies in it) and we got to this area that looked like a video game dungeon with moving sand floors

we watched the sand for a bit because we weren't sure how deep it was, and then i saw princess peach's hand sticking out of it as she got swept by

then i stepped into the labyrinth and...next thing i remember i was driving popo through an ancient chinese city past people wearing qing dynasty queues, and we were treating it like an amusement park or something?

i was gonna take pictures of her and share them on plurk, too

and then i woke up
