Everyone can play out their dreams if they want otherwise just let me know and I'll move things forward.
So assuming that everyone finds a place to lie down and rest, the morning comes while you are all asleep in the safety of Clover's windowless dorm room in the creepy basement.
Ruby's Dream
[sblock]
You wake up and look at the clock. It's about 2pm, Clover and Koln are still asleep in their beds, or in Koln's case under the bed. You see Clover's laptop sitting open on her desk casting a pale blue light across the room. You've seen Clover hitting buttons on there and bringing up strange pictures on the screen. She even ordered clothes through that computer! You wonder f maybe you could make it show images of your home, you miss your old home, the great expanses of farmland. Zechial plowing the fields. Even milking the cows in a smelly stable seems like a welcome breath of fresh air to you!
You can't hold back anymore, you jump out of bed and run over to the computer. Sitting down at the desk you look at the keyboard and that strange thing sitting next to the computer. What did Clover call it? A mouse? You remember Clover moving it around on the desk and making clicking noises with it. Strangely enough, you manage to find images of farmland on the computer. It just seems to come naturally to you and you don't give much thought to how you figured it out so quickly. You click through the different images and suddenly you come across one that makes you have to look twice before believing your eyes. You see a picture of your house! It's even labeled "The Hawks Farm" on it! You are so intrigued you put your face up against the screen to get a closer look, your nose practically touching it.
All of a sudden you feel like you are falling forward and your head goes through the screen as you are literally sucked inside by the laptop's evil powers. You think that this must be God's punishment for using forbidden technology. Everything goes a blinding white and you can't see a thing. You feel like you are sitting on something however. You feel something moving between your legs moving your hips up and down, it feels like you are riding a horse. The bright light starts to clear and you see that you are on the back of a giant yellow bird the likes of which you have never seen! You are riding the bird through some kind of field. If the bird wasn't strange enough, you realize that you are still barefoot and in your pajamas! It is the middle of the afternoon and you finally reach a farm where you can see people working off in the distance. As you come closer you realize that this is your family's farm. They all must be out there working. The giant bird brings you to the front door of a barn near your house and beckons you to get down by making soft chirping noises "kewh kweh!" You no sooner get off the bird's back then it bolts off into the fields and out of sight. you shrug and enter the barn to see if anyone is inside. There are cows and horses in the barn eating, drinking, and resting. You can hear someone coming down a flight of stairs that you know leads to the storage rooms up above. Your mother emerges and she is carrying 4 large metal buckets. She spots you and drops the buckets "Ruby? My Ruby is that you!?" She runs over and hugs you saying "Oh how I've missed you! I thought that I had lost you to the devil's playground! Please tell me that you only wore their pajamas!" Before you can answer her face becomes very serious and she says "Quick child, there is much work to be done here." She puts her arm around you and picks up one of the buckets off the floor. She walks you over to one of the cows that is standing nearest to the door lazily eating some hay that's on the ground. "Sit." she says pointing at a stool sitting next to the cow. "Jacob is too busy planting corn and I have to start making dinner. I need you to help milk the cows, there's no one else to do it right now." She starts heading out the door and looks over her shoulder at you and grins "We're counting on you." Then she leaves and you can hear her close the large barn door behind her. The cow's udder is literally bulging with milk and you know that nothing beats the taste of fresh milk after it is prepared for drinking. For some reason though you have no appetite for this sort of thing at all and you start to squeeze the liquid into the bucket your mom gave you.
As you are doing this you see a rat scurry across the floor. Rats really shouldn't be in here but you figure it might have just slipped in while the door was open. A moment later you spot two more. You watch them and see that they scurried into a wooden bucket. You go over and look inside the bucket. You see that the bucket is packed to the brim with rats! They are so tightly packed in there that they split the bucket open spilling rats everywhere. The rats start to cover the floor around your feet and soon they start crawling on your legs and biting you. You jump around and try to brush them off but there are too many of them. You make a run for the door. When you open it your mother is there smiling at you. "Help me! Get these things off me!" you yell, but she just stands there smiling. "You deserve this." she says "You think that we'll just accept you beause you decided to come back. We know the sins you have committed and now you must be punished." The rats start to climb up to your waist now, continually scratching and biting tearing pieces of your pajamas off. Your mother laughs a horrible wicked laugh that sounds more like a cackle than anything else "I would wake up now if I were you, unless you want to be eaten alive! These rats will send you back into the abyss where you belong!"

You'll have to spend 1 Willpower point to wake up if you want to do that.
