Had a dream of the Plex again! It's funny how consistent the dream version of it is and just how drastically different it is is to canon lmao

But anyway, I'm a little fuzzy on the earlier details but for a while I was Gregory on... I think the second floor in a far corner of the Plex. I was hiding behind a booth in like a side area after just losing someone and checked the time to find it was now day and I could leave. I knew something was watching or coming closer, but Gregory, who's POV I'm just watching I guess, goes to the lift to go down to the ground floor.

The attraction directly beneath where he was hiding is a typical seaside arcade layout (in my country anyway, I'm aware they look different in America) that's apparently meant to be based on the classic pizzerias. It hosts puppet shows and something called the Puppet King lives there. Gregory enters this attraction, sees the sunlight through the glass fire exit door and runs for it.

I then get to see the Puppet King which is like an altered version of Scraptrap I guess. However, I am also now Scraptrap so it's not clear what exactly is going on here. I'm in the shadows by the door and Gregory is running for it, Puppet King/Scraptrap chasing after him. I jump out of the shadows and stop Gregory from being caught and apparently Afton is Gregory's dad now so I'm shouting at him like "run, son! Run!" He gets out and it's a bit fuzzy again, but I remember he comes back to the door abd doesn't really know what to do.

Anyway, cut to the next morning I guess! I'm now in the POV of a new employee who's greeted by Vanessa the night guard. She's optimistic about showing me around staff areas that are kinda dreary and remind me of some of the stable buildings and tack rooms from when I went to pony clubs as a kid. At some point, she's eagerly showing me some things eating wotsits and her hands are now pretty orange from that.

We pass a collection of bridles on the wall and I ask if the Plex has horses. She's like "of COURSE the Plex has horses!" though apparently not anymore so I'm wondering why these are still here until she very proudly shows me a blueish velvety bridle on the opposite wall. It's a double noseband with this flimsy little patch with a gold horse silhouette on over where the bands meet over the face and she said she was awarded it. She flips the patch other and it reads in gold, "Awarded to: Mrs. Vanessa Bernstein" with a little explanation that I can't remember. Apparently she was rider of the year and that's what this was for and I also woke up wondering why her last name ended up as Bernstein

Anyway, I asked her if it was cheating that she won it since she literally works here and she says "no of course not!" and we carry on. She takes me down a corridor where some tech folders are on shelves and she tells me I probably won't ever need them but it's good to know where they are. I think that part of the corridor was looking but I don't remember, and I didn't get much more of a look because something woke me up

Yeah it wasn't the most exciting dream but I dunno I think that was kinda interesting. Vanessa is great at horse riding now I guess and was very enthusiastic about a new hire at the end of her shift lmao. I think my brain told me that this was set before anything bad happened and that's why she's so chipper with her cheesy wotsits lmao
