Anyways. You are Charlotte Fawkins, and you will not be defeated by one dumb, unrealistic nightmare! Yes! Also, you still can't really move, and it's dark, and you are sleepy for real. So, yes.
You settle back down and try to think about all the good things that happened today. You saved the life of an annoying fish lady (by murdering somebody). You fixed Earl's shoulder (by turning him into a scary monster). You discovered the identity of the Gold-Masked Person (by discovering that Monty was back-stabbing you). You... oh, come on. There has to be something. You got Gil a tent, and he was happy about it. He thanked you. There. There's nothing bad to say about that.
You sleep again. You dream again. In it, you stock Gil's new bookshelf with books about beetles, and he's very, very pleased.

Sunlight! Morning! Movement! You spring to your feet, ignoring the muscle aches everywhere. It is tomorrow, and tomorrow's always better than yesterday. (That's a key tenet of positive thinking!)

And since yesterday was pretty darn good, today is bound to be amazing. That's how it works! Simple mathematics! And the snake, draped like a garland around the side of your cot, isn't smart enough to argue. Ah, glorious morning.
You have a lot of things to do today— you think you'll be raiding Headspace tomorrow, or the day after at an absolute push. What first?
>[1] Retrieve/wake up(?) Gil, naturally. Richard gave you explicit orders to drag him with you everywhere, and, by God, you will drag him *everywhere.*
>[2] You were informed yesterday that Branwen and (de-monsterized) Earl would be back at camp in the morning. Well, it's morning! You can't keep them waiting, can you?
>[3] Cults do all their skulking at night, so if Horse Face got his worm-revival instructions, it was probably while you were sleeping. Head over there and demand them ASAP.
>[4] From a certain perspective, it could be best to take care of unpleasant things first, so you don't have them tainting the rest of your day. You haven't seen Fake Ellery since you left, but you've since discovered the complete and entire truth around his origins. Surely he should be informed?
>[5] Write-in.
