In a store with HD. I think there's a sale on. More, but can't remember. Then I'm walking West down 86th Ave. At the school. It's a warm afternoon. HD's dad is telling me I can't play anymore, and I feel horrible. I get to the field, and everybody's practicing. There are 3 or 4 people walking in front of me. An errant ball comes our way, and I want to kick it back. I go in front of the people, but somebody's got it already. The team's paired off, and as I continue along the path, another ball comes my way. I boot it back. The guy who gets it is familiar, but I don't remember who he is. He doesn't have a partner, so he kicks it back again, and that's fine with me. We kick it between us for a bit, and then he blasts one way off into the field. I know it's a test, but I want to play, so I run to go get it. I get there, and go to kick it back. My shoes are crappy, and I'm out of shape, so it only goes about halfway. I head toward it, and he's coming closer too. I get there first, so for a little joke, I launch it over his head. Coach likes that, and he comes over, and says I can play. So happy. Sim's behind me, and congratulates me.


With three other people, on a team. There's a competition going on. We're in a town, with very close buildings and cobblestone streets. Looks like Rune. Doors are numbered, and there's one up on the second storey of a house. It's number four, and we have to get up there. We go up to another door marked four, since it's the matching place. We knock, and someone answers. We have the correct key, a big one, and when we show the person, she lets us in. We go upstairs, and are in a room in the corner. There are two open doorways, and a staircase leading down. We're standing around, waiting for the person to come and tell us what our mission is. I notice there are three GIANT spiders in the corners of the ceiling. Black, and the size of a dinner plate. I panic, and want to leave. When I turn to the right, one of the spiders is gone. I'm freaking out, and it's landed on my friend, but I have a sword, and hack it up. Then I attack the other two, slicing legs off all over the place. My control is masterful. After that, I go in the other room, and realize that there are many infestations of different kinds of bugs. Bees in this room, termites in the next.

I return to the first room, and a person comes in. She tells us that we have to exterminate all the bug colonies, as well as find a pork tenderloin that's hidden somewhere. There was another team in before, but they didn't get rid of all the bugs, and they came back. We split up, and go to work. We only have 50 minutes to do all this, even though someone says it will take four or five days. I go into the kitchen to look for the piece of meat. I'm looking under cupboards, and in shelving. I know it's tucked away in a corner somewhere, but I can't find it. There's a female behind me, watching. I go to the other side of the kitchen, and poke around in the stuff there, but still find nothing. Time's up, and we didn't complete everything.


I'm dressed up like Batman, and with a guy who says that someone stole his baby. We're at a house, and I'm telling the owner that we're coming in to look for it. He says fine, and he knows why we're there, and he knows I know, but he's acting like everything's fine because he's confident we won't find it. This is all a big game to him. We go in and start looking around. There's a dog running around. Maybe two. Black lab. The guy's sitting in an easy chair, watching us. We're not having much luck, but I know there's a trick. I put the dog outside, because it's driving me nuts. There's a fireplace, and all kinds of little figurines along the mantel. I pick the right one up, and turn it over. There's a little switch on the bottom. I flip it, and go around the corner to the right. When I press the button, the wall slowly swings open. I know the baby's in there, but I think it's dead.
