Who: Peter etc
Where: Various
When: After the dreams, through the beginning of May
What: An asshole investigates how to act like he's not an asshole.



Being his own self in various people's dreams has renewed Peter's detestation for this shape he's wearing. He doesn't see at all how it's supposed to be any image of 'what he really is.' If he was a two-faced dream monster, he'd love looking like this. But he doesn't. He hates it more than he thinks he's ever hated anything in his whole entire life.

So he has to convince a warden that he's learned something, that he's going to be a good boy now.

Could his life get any worse?

After the dreams abate and life goes back to being awful, Peter retreats back into his cabin/tree for a few days. Better to let the people whose dreams he visited not see again him like this, at last for now. So even when he comes out, he avoids Pyotr, the doctor Hilbert, avoids Hunter and the witch. Most of those, at least, he can avoid by not going to the gardens or to the hospital. But he still wants to spend time around other people. He goes to the library, and makes up games using the books as building blocks. He goes to the dining hall, and actually eats real food, copying the manners he sees other people using. He watches the people who clean work, and only sometimes helps by dropping leaves and sand for them to clean up.

And he would like to avoid the girl, but there's a problem with that.
