She did seem a lot darker than she remembered but hadn't put much into it. A native american elf? What the hell was going on in her head that that's what she ended up as in her brain. She glanced at the man in front of her. A British guy that turned into an Italian looking bartender that could be a biochemist? That was really, really, specific. Obviously the fact that she said dad meant that he represented her daddy issues. She had always wished her father was more easy going, which this guy looked like, and making him a biochemist/bartender instead of a farmer would have made her life more glamorous. Maybe it was resentment for her family as a whole? Maybe that's why she changed herself into a different species and ethnicity, this was all about family resentment? It would explain her insecurities being so loud. <br/><br/>Or maybe...she started to think....maybe it wasn't a dream? Well then what the hell was it? Her brow furrowed as she stared at her hands, thinking hard about what it could be. This really didn't feel like a dream, like at all. She'd never had a dream even remotely this vivid, and even the very realistic dreams she'd had had lasted a few moments that she could remember. Of course for all she knew this happened to her every night and she forgot it in the process of waking up. Hmmm.<br/><br/>And since when had she been able to analyze everything so deeply and been so aware of everything, and for that matter so calm? Normally she'd be the one curled up sniffling when something went wrong while her older brothers and sister made fun of her. Or at least they would have before she moved out. She didn't realize how much more at ease her mind was, how much wiser she'd grown, as she thought about her situation. <br/><br/>Then a third voice joined in. She glanced at the fourth person and laughed. "Okay, good one brain, you almost had me convinced." She said obviously speaking to nobody present. "Then you had to toss in the hot naked black guy with the hard on." She laughed and shook her head. "Oh Beth would love that that's where my mind goes." She rubbed her temples thinking of the field day her older sister would have with this dream in general.<br/><br/>"Me? Oh my name's Taylor Swift. Maybe you've heard of me." Courtney chuckled, turning away from what she was now convinced was a figment of her imagination. She hop-skipped nimbly over to where the hand had stuck out from the grass, relishing how much more agile and graceful she was in this 'dream.'<br/><br/>"Hey Mr. White Rabbit." She called out to the hand. "I'm done with the tulpas of my subconscious over here, take me down the rabbithole."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Charlotte peaked out from her ball and started to unwind herself, "Taylor Swift? The Taylor Swift?!" Her voice became more animated and she approached Courtney. "I'm a big fan! I follow you on Twitter all the time. I think it is so great what you do for the Swifties. Would it be too much to ask for an autograph?" She then blushed and asked, "Well, um, when we, um, find some clothes and figure out why you're an elf and...." Her voice drifted off as she started to feel more and more daft and self conscious.<br/><br/>The voice called out in more urgent tones, "Hurry!" Something else was yelled but lost in the wind. "The grass...."<br/><br/>As if on cue, Vara tried to hide herself within the grass. However, as she did so, the grass started to cut into her feet and as she crouched, the grass started to cut into other areas of her body. The blades were extremely sharp and Vara started bleeding from her cuts. Worse, both she and Gregory could tell that it was apparent that the grass was actually latching on, sipping her blood."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Vara takes 2 points of damage</div></div>
