¨¨¨&&&&¨&¨ 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 ¨&&¨&&&&&¨
&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&& Spring)) &&¨&&¨¨¨¨&

&&&¨¨¨¨¨&& = &¨&¨&&&¨¨&
¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨&¨ ¨&&&&¨¨&¨&
&¨¨&&¨¨¨&& I Wake Up Every Morning At Six Am. It'S &&¨¨¨&¨&&&
¨&¨&¨&¨¨&¨ 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 ¨¨&¨¨&¨&¨&
¨&¨&&¨¨&¨¨ Dreams. &¨&&¨&&&&&

&¨¨¨&&&&¨& † ¨&¨&&¨&¨¨¨
&&¨¨&¨¨¨&& &&&&¨&&&¨¨
&¨&¨&&¨¨&¨ 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. ¨&&&¨¨&&¨&
