traum, amon, chiller, zu, and me were there. kev may have been, but that part is blurry. we were in some sort of lab doing some sorts of experiments.

i teased either traum or amon about something, and whatever i sad touched a bad nerve. whichever one it was, he grabbed me around the neck from behind with his (rather enormous) arm, jumped up with me onto a table, and whispered things in my ear. first thing he said at the shock on my face was, "stronger than you thought, i know." then he basically chastised me. i ought not to do that, he said. then he let me go.

i was close to tears afterwards. everyone got pretty quiet. nearly everyone left except the man (traum or amon) that i didn't anger. i was very, very quiet. he said something to me, but i've already forgotten it. i didn't answer. i was trying to hold back the tears. i didn't want to cry in front of him. he said that the other one was working out or punching something or what not and that he felt bad, too (for scaring me, etc, not because of whatever it is i had said).

there were some dvds that were sometimes action figures and sometimes puzzle games on the table. i picked them all up and was putting them in the cooler i used as my weird backpack even though i knew two of them were traum's or amon's. then i put those two down again, closed up my cooler, and started leaving. i think there was something about a (spiral?) staircase after that.

then someone woke me up.
