##£¤†:~~¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨~~:†

†:~~¨¨¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨¨¨~~:†
¤†:~~¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨¨¨¨~~:†
