ohmygee
i had a weird and messed up dream at the same time.
imagine japan, and a typical tatami styled room. okay, so this place was almost kind of like a shrine, and me being the first person enters it into a long narrow dark hallway. i follow it until it makes an opening into a decent square space. there was this boy, standing right in the middle (almost like ju-on, but it didn't seem all that freaky until the last part) i don't remember his face, but basically, he's supposed to give you a seed. and that seed is something you put in your mouth. (you know, like pumpkin seed or something)
so anyways, you put it in your mouth and sit on the ground with your eyes closed. So I did it alone, sitting in the middle of the room alone and somehow when i woke up, there were a lot of people around me, and the seed in my mouth had blossomed into a giant orange fruit (papaya i think, it was long so i doubt pumpkin) in my hands. and they were all pleased about it, quite like a ritual or something.
okay, so fastforward, i brought a tourist friend to this place, and we walk down the narrow hallway again, this time when we hit the big space, we saw the boy, but we also noticed that to the extreme right of the room, there were those japanese minirooms like that you see in restaurants with sliding doors. okay so there were 2, one smaller on the right, and one bigger on the left. the left one was shut tight, but the thing that caught our eyes was that the one on the right hadn't been closed properly, and you could see through that slit. and i saw like white cloth in that slit that actually abruptly moved away when i saw it.
so i opened the door (ridiculous right, all the heros in horror shows do stupid things like that) and there was this weird monster/womanesque thing with a white gown, but green and red features at her face/top of her dress, almost like a gardevoir dressed in kabuki. so okay, i closed it after she was glaring at me and went back to the ritual, seed and trance and all.
i woke up halfway through the ritual sensing something was amidst, trance and all and my tourist friend wasn't there. instinctly, i went up to the left door and slid it open in rage and fear both at the same time. and there he was raised on a platform filled with water, the weird gardevoir kabuki woman behind him. he had slits on his wrists, and the water was a ghastly pink. and the best part was, he had been cut up like a squid you order from a japanese/korean restaurant. normal, if you look it at it from afar, but on close inspection, incisions across that cut through the whole body like calamari. and the weird boy was staring at me from behind. and i woke up.
it was very kindaichi-ish, and if i were to break it down using my brilliant detective powers, this is a blood collecting syndicate that hides behind an exterior of a shrine. the pumpkin seed they give you possesses sleep and trance qualities to make you unaware of your surroundings around you, while they catch some people and drain their blood.
taadaa.
strange but brilliantly enough, i quite liked it.
Oh there was this part about not sitting in the exact middle of the room as well cause there was a square hole in the ceiling and the full moon was framed by it perfectly. the 2nd time with my tourist friend, i was in the middle of the room. my deduction is that the exact middle of the room faces the the door of the left room perfectly, and it's omen that they don't want people to sit there lest they get exposed. :o
