quirk [GG], dreamlog (1/3)

i had a dream where i was walking around some walmart-like mall/store. it was quarantine and i was there with my mom, so in order to help the store managers keep track of how many people are in the store, both she and i took our own cart.

well, at some point id left my (empty) cart behind while following mom, so i split off from her to go back and grap it. problem was, i wasnt sure where it was! after looking around a bit, i decided to... use some weird terminal-console thing?? to like, "ls" a room. and in the listing there was, besides a bunch of people and products, an item labelled "florrie's shopping cart".

so i found my way to that room, and found an empty shopping cart. i figured it was PROBABLY mine, but i saw one of the store staff passing by, so i decided to check with them. "can you check who owns this cart?" i asked, and they took out a funky scanner thing and held it up to the cart handle. it turned out to be someone elses cart!

while they were scanning i said it shouuuulllld say something like florries cart, and when the scanner said it wasnt they beckoned me to follow them.

they took me to some thin back corridor, a corner off of the main store area, and stood by a computer in a, like, square-meter open side room.

while they were looking stuff up on that, i was just staying in the corridor, waiting. this staff member had full proper quarantine gear on -- an indigo mask and coat, gloves i think, the like. well, another staff came in, and she didnt have any quarantine gear at all! just ordinary casual clothes.

i think she was passing through to get to some back room further down the corridor, but she ended up staying and chatting with me while the first person was still at the computer. we kind of just talked about random stuff that i dont really remember?? we talked a bunch about the architecture of the back corridor i think. we got along pretty well.

after a moment, i think as the original clerk was juust finishing up on the computer, she turned to say bye, and callllled me jade. and it took a second to compute, waitwait, why does she know that name??? is she a homestuck???? does she know me online?? huh???? ......but i never got the chance to ask because as i was asking myself those questions i woke up!
