"Are your Aubreys out of stock?" Jack draws his gun and moves to cover, just in case.

SAYU smiles at your question, but for quite possibly the first time in her life, doesn’t actually say anything back. Despite the happy look on her face, something about how she’s floating gives you the impression that the question has actually made her uncomfortable.
-
"What's wrong, SAYU?"
-
“Don’t worry, I’m a-ok!” SAYU said, though it was more likely she simply didn’t have any programmed dialogue to respond to the question any other way. “Was there anything you were looking for?”
-
"Is Aubrey here?"
-
"I'm sorry, I don't have a user by that name in my database!" SAYU said.
-
"Ah, nevermind." He approaches the infamous cooler.

If your intel was to be believed, the shelves inside should be holographic, and surely enough you find that you're able to walk right through them. You push on the back wall, and it opens up to a tunnel whose walls were covered with pipes and machinery. You follow the tunnel through until you reach a large circular room. There are two exits leading to Le Restaurant, and Amaterasu's Gift, but those aren't what concern you at the moment (and you can't go down them, so don't try it!). Rather, your gaze falls upon the sacrificial altar in the middle of the room, still covered with dried blood. On the wall just behind it was the halo of the Divine Trinity, and that phrase "DEATH TO THE ANGELS".
-
Jack promptly gets to work defacing the slogan.
-
Unfortunately, nobody is there to notice your handiwork, though that also means your progress goes unhindered.
-
He starts wondering what he should do with the altar. He wonders if destroying it would be helpful.
-
As your thoughts turn to the altar you feel it.. Calling for you. Your eyes grow heavy, and your head begins to nod off. Not entirely of your own free will, you wind up coimbing on top of it, and slowly.. Drifting off.... To sleep...... The next thing you know you’re standing in a church. There’s a gigantic statue of a woman in front of you. She only has half a face—the other half replaced by a skull. Her hands are clasped together in prayer.
-
"Well, this is wonderful."
-
Your words ech through the empty halls. It doesn’t seem anything’s going to happen with you simply standing there.
-
He kicks the nearest bench to see if he can do things with his surroundings.
-
[spoiler]There’s no branches. Just an old church. All the freaky plant monsters are in the other one. :p[/spoiler] You swing your foot into a nearby bench, and it collides just as it would in the real world. The dream space seems to act like regular space.
-
[spoiler]I meant the ones you sit on![/spoiler] He draws his weapon and uses his flamethrower to light the benches on fire.
-
[spoiler]You typed it right. My eyes just read it wrong. >.> I am ashamed![/spoiler] No matter how much fire you spray around the room, none of it sticks. You get the feeling somebody’s already burned down the real church; burning down its dream version probably won’t do much.
-
He grumbles to himself. "I get the feeling Aubrey was using this to contact someone, but who?"
-
You find your gaze turning towards the huge statue in front of you. It occurs to you that if she was contacting someone, it would likely be through there.
-
He promptly kicks the statue. "Is this thing on?"
-
As soon as you touch the sculpture, you hear a voice. [i]”Aubrey, is that you? Where have your manners gone young- No, you’re someone different. Who are you? What are you doing here?”[/i]
-
"My name is Jack, and you and Aubrey have succeeded in pissing me off. Call her off or I'll do it manually."
-
[i]“She always has been a bit of a problem child. Things are much too far along for my intervention, though. I doubt she has much to fear from the likes of you, though. Besides, what are you going to do to her while you’re sleeping?”[/i]
-
"I don't, obviously. I just need to wake up."
-
[i]"Hm. Indeed. Well, if you wish to awaken, there is only one way to do so. You must find the heart of this dream, lest you slumber for eternity. I cannot tell you the way, but what I can tell you is that the first step towards it lies within this church."[/i]
