6/25/10 - UMBRELLA FIGHT

Jocelyn and I were stuck in a massive deserted building. I guess it was a hotel; long hallways with tons of rooms and whatnot, but all the rooms were bare and you didn't need a keycard or anything to get into them. And there are a lot more interconnecting hallways than in a normal hotel. It's like a maze.

Also in this building are Heiwajima Shizuo and Orihara Izaya, rivals from the anime Durarara! in which they're always trying to kill each other. Shizuo generally rips street signs out of the ground and tries to nail people with them, whereas Izaya either uses a knife or just runs away.

Izaya:
Shizuo:


Anyway, they're fighting throughout the hallways and it's destructive and dangerous, and I'm pulling Jocelyn around trying to avoid them. We are on a low floor and I am aware that after a certain amount of time surviving on one floor, the stairwell to the next floor will open up and we'll have to survive for another amount of time on that floor before moving on, etc. etc. If we reach the roof, we win (whatever that means).

After hiding in various rooms and running about while Shizuo plows through walls and Izaya runs away from him, we're on the floor before the roof.

Somehow I end up running down the hallway towards Shizuo with an umbrella open in front of me while he charges back at me with an umbrella of his own. Right before we hit each other I close my umbrella and drop down on the floor and slide by him and Izaya jumps out from behind me and takes Shizuo down and they start brawling on the floor. I grab Jocelyn and we run down the hallway and into the final stairwell.

We make it to the roof, which is for some reason actually just a balcony with a bench on it. It's night and a billion stars are out. We collapse on the bench, looking at the sky, and a minute later Izaya walks out leisurely onto the balcony and leans on a railing and lights up a cigarette. Shizuo follows him out and sits down on the bench next to us.

Izaya says something I don't remember.

The dream ends.
