apt-get's journal

I was visiting my younger cousin, and brought along another relative that had never been to their house. It was located deep in the woods. I hung out in his room, chatting a bit, though I don't remember what the subject matter was. I noticed that he had some ecological/forest-related posters. A few minutes later, I watch him pull out a cigarette and a lighter, which surprised me due to his young age. I decided to tease him a bit and asked him if he had always been a smoker.

- Hey, you can find cigarettes in medkits. They're pretty useful for medical urgencies.
- With the tobacco?
- Yeah, those things are versatile.

We then talked a bit about the weather. According to him, the temperature would get cold during the next few days, but it would loop back to 30°C by the time we'd left.

After some time, I left with him and the other cousin to a competition event of some sort. I didn't realise until we arrived on the competition grounds that it was a tree climbing tournament.

However, these were some kind of haunted or mystic trees. The more you climbed, the more traps would appear on your path: poisoned spikes, vines popping up at random trying to drag you away towards the darkness of the foliage, and illusions attempting to drive you mad. The goal was to stay alive as long as you could, then come down. My cousin had a pretty alright score, and left relatively unscathed.

Once the competition was done, we went to a nearby restaurant, where my aunt and some other relatives were waiting for us. Sitting down, we could see that this was a rather rustic place, since even the cutlery was made out of wood. I grabbed the salt shaker to pour some over croissants (??), but accidentally dumped too much of it. I expected to get shouted at, but to my surprise, everyone started eating them normally. I woke up a few moments after.
