¤£†\=:¨¨¨¨ not actually a palace. a cottage in the ¨¨¨¨:=\†£¤
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ woods (temperate climate, rains every ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
##¤£†\=:¨¨ other day, springs and streams and ¨¨:=\†£¤##
###¤£†\=:¨ mysterious iron and stone artifacts, ¨:=\†£¤###
##¤£†\=:¨¨ birdland-ish eternal spring (late ¨¨:=\†£¤##

##¤£†\=:¨¨ dark, and the stars are out, but the ¨¨:=\†£¤##
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ sun is about to rise. its a long day, ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
¤£†\=:¨¨¨¨ before it fades to night again, and ¨¨¨¨:=\†£¤
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ then it stays so until i fall asleep. ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
##¤£†\=:¨¨ it doesn't rise unless i've had my ¨¨:=\†£¤##

#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ in this cottage there's a lot of radio ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
##¤£†\=:¨¨ equipment, sound stuff, synths, tape ¨¨:=\†£¤##
###¤£†\=:¨ players. pen and paper, books, cameras, ¨:=\†£¤###
##¤£†\=:¨¨ mirrors, prisms, and various things to ¨¨:=\†£¤##
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ do art with. the fridge is filled with ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
¤£†\=:¨¨¨¨ differet foods, all of them intriguing, ¨¨¨¨:=\†£¤
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ slightly weird. ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#

#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ i have friends - there's a cat, and a ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
¤£†\=:¨¨¨¨ dog (who is ridicolously large and ¨¨¨¨:=\†£¤
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ wants to be the big spoon). i listen to ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
##¤£†\=:¨¨ the shortwave radio, and transmit a bit ¨¨:=\†£¤##
###¤£†\=:¨ myself, songs and poetry, and found ¨:=\†£¤###
##¤£†\=:¨¨ sounds from the forest. the others tell ¨¨:=\†£¤##
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ of their lives, play the guitar for me, ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
¤£†\=:¨¨¨¨ and tell tales of the old world. i ¨¨¨¨:=\†£¤
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ consider them friends as well. ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#

#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ most importantly, there's a two square ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
¤£†\=:¨¨¨¨ meter area on the floor where i can ¨¨¨¨:=\†£¤
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ "save" things. whatever i put in here ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
##¤£†\=:¨¨ will not be affected by the nightly ¨¨:=\†£¤##
###¤£†\=:¨ reset. everything else, however, is ¨:=\†£¤###
##¤£†\=:¨¨ completely reset overnight: synth ¨¨:=\†£¤##
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ patches removed, food uneaten, wounds ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
¤£†\=:¨¨¨¨ healed, and wherever and whenever i'd ¨¨¨¨:=\†£¤
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ fall asleep i'd always wake up fully ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
##¤£†\=:¨¨ rested in my bed. sometimes there's ¨¨:=\†£¤##
###¤£†\=:¨ accidents where i lose stuff by ¨:=\†£¤###
##¤£†\=:¨¨ forgetting to put them in the square. ¨¨:=\†£¤##

##¤£†\=:¨¨ at night, i have demi-lucid dreams ¨¨:=\†£¤##
###¤£†\=:¨ where the spirits of the forest around ¨:=\†£¤###
##¤£†\=:¨¨ the cottage tries to communicate. here, ¨¨:=\†£¤##
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ it's not endless but connected to a ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
¤£†\=:¨¨¨¨ large sprawling city, where my radio ¨¨¨¨:=\†£¤
#¤£†\=:¨¨¨ friends live. we go exploring together ¨¨¨:=\†£¤#
##¤£†\=:¨¨ - things are deep and dark - but unlike ¨¨:=\†£¤##
###¤£†\=:¨ me, they never remember during the day. ¨:=\†£¤###
##¤£†\=:¨¨ this is a mystery we often discuss. ¨¨:=\†£¤##
