Video Game Completed – Name: Oneironaut

Atlas: ASH!!!

Asher: Finally. Are you ready?

Asher: What was that for? Atlas: I finished. It’s done.

Asher: Oh my god, we did it? We fucking did it!!!

Asher: [laughing] Okay okay, put me down. We’re gonna be late.

Dawn: [offscreen] How did your appointment go. Asher: [offscreen] Great. Two healthy babies, everything looks good. Li: Ooh, they’re moving again. Atlas: Can I feel? Li: Of course!

Aspen: Whatta you doing? Asher: My babies are in there. I’m saying hello to them. Li: Do you want to say hi? Aspen: Hi!

Dawn: Ezra Ezra? Atlas: Yep. Dawn: He’s the last person I’d ever expect to leave. Did the town burn down or something? Atlas: [laughs] I don’t think so. Dawn: Wow. Good for him, I guess? Atlas: [shrugs] Dawn: How are you doing? It can’t be easy. Atlas: I’m fine.

Dawn: That bad, huh? Atlas: I said, I’m fine. Dawn: You only say you’re fine when things are really bad. Atlas: I say I’m fine when I don’t want to talk about it. Let’s not ruin a perfectly good day. Dawn: Okay. Dropping it. Atlas: Thank you. So, what’s new with you?

Dawn: Aspen finally started pre-school last week. Atlas: How’s that going? Dawn: Really well. I was able to get her into the same one as Mei. Having a friend there has really helped. She’s actually excited when I drop her off. Rude if you ask me. She could at least try to act sad when I leave. Atlas: Aw. I’m sure she’s just putting on a brave face, for your sake. Dawn: [laughs] That must be it.

Dawn: It’s good though. Now that she’s out of the house for most of the day, I’ve decided to go back to work. Atlas: Oh yeah? What are you going to do? Dawn: I’m going back to the Dreamer Foundation. Obviously, my old position wasn’t available, so I’ll just be doing, like, part-time administrative work. I don’t mind though. It’s low-stress and gets me out of the house. Eventually, I can work my way back up again. Atlas: That’s great. I’m happy for you.

Asher: I’m done. Your turn. Atlas: Are you tapping out already? Asher: Yep. I’m gonna throw my back out at this rate. Dawn: You know you don’t have to toss her around like that constantly. Asher: I know, but it makes her laugh and I’m a sucker for it.

Li: Are you sure you’re ready to have two little gremlins? Atlas: You mean aside from not having a house or a stable income yet? Li: Of course. Asher: We’ve never been more ready for anything. Cook ‘em faster, will ya? Atlas: Or not. We do actually need a house and a stable income. Asher: Yeah yeah.

Dawn: It’s getting late. We should get going. D’you want to come over for dinner before you head back? Atlas: No thanks. Kinda feel like relaxing here for a bit, maybe watching the sunset. Asher: Such a romantic. Atlas: [laughs] Oh yeah, that’s me. Dawn: Well, enjoy it. Let me know when you get home safe. Atlas: I will.
