I've got to go over to R**'s to fix his computer. He picks me up with a client and announce they've acquired some perverted domain - somethingperverse.com, R** is boasting about what a deal it was - "Only $400" he says, he's going to use it to link back to the sites I've been working on to drive them up in the search engines. I don't see the point, the site we're working has nothng to do with this at all, still....They stop a little mall, they have to run inside for a moment.
Outside the mall is a small parking lot, surrounded on all sides by short red brick buildings. It's very green, trees, lawn. I'm waiting outside. It begins to rain. Looking around I spot a small arcade, and think to go inside, I recognize it, familiar somehow, perhaps from another dream.
Inside there's a man behind glass to make change, another room you can go into to play the games, looking through the window I see a Ms. Pac Man game, I have a quarter, but wonder if I won't be too long, I can play for a while on this game. Water is dripping through the ceiling, somebody apologizes, bangs it with a broom and the water stops. I go back outside.
It's still raining, and I realize that I'm not supposed to fix the computer until tomorrow. And so I stop waiting for R** and begin to walk home.
There's a field outside a school, very green, like British Columbia or Vancouver in the fall, and it's still raining, but there's a thunderbolt and the rain turns into Hershey Kisses, quickly I fill my pockets, I find a small, elegantly wrapped egg in sheer plastic wrap and a bunny in foil, recognizing them to be Bernard Callebaut I pick them up as well.
And I'm walking home, alongside a narrow green strip of park, swinging the foil bunny and plastic wrapped egg beside me in a bag, congratulating myself on my good luck and eating the Hershey Kisses.
I notice a badger. He's walking alongside me, looking over and noticing me, he growls. I think it's unusual to see a badger, especially in the city, then he runs at me and makes to bite me. I knock him gently out of the way with my bag, he tries it again, I knock him away again. This is very odd, the badger isn't working very hard, I think....
There's a kiosk and a young plump blonde is working behind it in the park, an information booth of sorts, so I stop and tell her about the badger. She doesn't think it's odd. I explain how it's been pursuing me and trying to attack me and she thinks about this for a moment, looking confused, then says: "I know, I think it has rabies...". I'd already had the same thought. I persuade her to leave the kiosk, we'll trap the badger inside and call the SPCA before it bites anyone. She reluctantly agrees.
The badger comes after me again, and I sweep it up with the bag and into the kiosk. We can hear in there, it's annoyed...A green recycling tub is inside the kiosk, with some dirty water from the rainfall, I think to open it and get the badger inside, again I trap it in my plastic bag and throw it into the tub, it splashes, then sinks in the water bubbling, and I worry the badger might drown.... we close the tub lightly and tip it to let the water out, it strains out, through the lid I glimpse the badger nonchalantly lying on it's back eating a chocolate cookie. We take the tub out of the Kiosk and the blonde goes back inside, she's going to call the SPCA. A woman with her child stop, they crouch down by the tub, the plump blonde comes out again to open the tub slightly and allow the child to reach in and pet the badger...
