02/03/18: A Bizarre Meeting with Pirates

A group of people and I walked into a mansion where an old man greeted us. He claimed that he was holding my sister hostage and the only way I could get her back was by beating him at a game of Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links. I told the old man that I recently reseted my game, and he was like don't worry man, me too. He led me outside where we found ourselves standing on a sandy beach. He was farther up on the sandy coast while I stood on the shore so that the beautiful blue water could touch my feet. We then pulled out our phones as if they were duel disks and started dueling. During the match, the old man would throw rocks and junk at me but would miss horribly. Eventually he threw what looked like a large rock, which missed me and began to sink in the ocean. After it had begun sinking, the old man exclaimed that what he had just thrown was actually my baby sister. Shocked by what he just said to me, I dropped my phone and swam into the ocean.

When I crossed my head underwater, a discovery was made: the shore ended only a few feet into the sudden drop-off of a wide and deep trench. Swimming down, the baby was spotted wrapped in a blanket and sinking past the edge of the beach. Right as I got close enough to wrap my arms around the child, I was transported by a blinding white light into the sky directly above an island swarmed by a swampy mass of green, which I was falling face-first into.

I switched my body into a standing position and gently landed into the middle of a jungle, with no pain nor impact crater. To my side there was a large boat split into pieces, upheld in between two orange trees by a cluster of vines entangling the ship such that it stayed connected. In order to climb up to a new level of the ship, plank wood was used as stairs. On top of the ship and out of view from the ground level were two pirates, one of which (presumably the leader) was berating the other for being an idiot. The idiot was smiling and laughing the whole time, clearly not taking anything the other pirate was saying seriously. The leader spotted me investigating the rickety structure and demanded to know what the hell I was doing. I replied, "I don't know," which caused the idiot to burst out laughing. In response, the leader went back to yelling at the idiot, only for the idiot to start mocking what the leader was saying. As the leader was climbing down a plank to presuumably kick the ass of his companion, I interjected the question of what had happened. The leader explained to me in a calm but frustrated voice, that while performing a pirate raid on a local village, the two had a change of heart and decided to save the village. The idiot had exclaimed that he thought the plan was a great idea, and began to recite the plan loudly in front of the rest of the pirate crew.

fearing for their lives as the rest of the pirate crew encircled them, the two of them bolted for a smaller, but still relatively large ship that was tied to the titanic-sized boat by a thick rope. Right as they skimmied across onto the vacant boat, the leader cut them loose and the idiot ran for the wheel. After getting around the main ship and being fired upon, the idiot had the brilliant idea of running the boat across the island, since their boat was smaller and had a better chance of crossing through the trees. The boat went surprisingly far inland, but eventually got stuck where it is now.

They still wanted to save the village from the pirates, which I agreed to help with. We travelled through the jungle onto a thin strip of lannd that was nothing more than a sandbar for a long stretch of time, until finally we could take a right onto beachy land which had patches of grass and palm trees. Another long walk later, we arrived at the tip of the peninsula which was oddly a large mound of dirt with grass surrounding the outside and inside of the circle, like a donut. Where the donot hole would be was instead a bonfire. the village sat upon the surrounding dirt between the shelves of grass around the fire. The homes were beige colored tents and the populace was predominately old people and children.

walking into the village, a woman greeted us and acted as our tour guide. The leader pirate interrupted her and shouted towards the villagers that they were in grave danger. He was ignored by everyone except for a group of old men smoking cigars and playing cards who chuckled and shouted back something along the lines of, "we already know!"

A storm had rapidly brewed, which prompted me to go into one of the tents. Peering out of the flap, I witnessed the storm grow so powerful that the mighty bonfire was extinguished and villagers were blown sideways away from the donut. One of the old men grabbed my tent and pulled his head in, cigar still in mouth and chuckling, to tell me, "I told you so!" After which he was blown away. A box flew into my head, and then I woke up.
