(drag queen battle / flight in NH / late to flight)
I’m in a big city in an abandoned dance studio, trying to find something left there. There are drag queens with a condition where they have to freeze in a pose, and they can only be released under a specific condition. If the condition is too strict, they die, like gargoyles.
I find Eureka and Kennedy and others. We’re also fighting against evil drag queens and corrupted security systems. I had originally been brought here by spirits—a giant whale mother and a red dragon puppet. I had just gained the ability to communicate with them when the whale asked for help here, and I was flown in through the sky.
The whale disrupted the security, so we have to deal with that as well. I find a room with a computer system that explains what’s going on.
I learn that RuPaul used to do interviews here in the early days, possibly early seasons of Drag Race. I see Bendela, Shangela, and others. The interviews take place in an underground room with steel beams overhead, like a construction area. Nearby, they also performed dances. In one scene, performers are getting ready with makeup. Blair complains about not being good at it and having to practice a lot. Ru points out that she applied blush too far on one cheek and says she’ll show her how to do it properly later.
I get separated from the others on the way out and get attacked by an enemy drag queen. I shout “Catwoman” to signal who it is. Dax ExclamationPoint arrives in a mercenary uniform with knives everywhere and saves me.
Later, I’m talking with Sister about flights. I’m going back separately. They’re going to Boston, and I’m going to a town called something like Ridelplaz on the Massachusetts–New Hampshire border. John Oliver is also going there, joking about when he’ll ever get another chance to visit a place with such a similar name to his.
He has a layover there. It’s a very small town. He films the mountains and says that a woman in the park below is really playing music loudly, and the sound carries into his video.
Heading back toward the village, I pass through a carved rock formation where I can see the sun setting on one side and the moon rising on the other. I take a video as I walk through. The moon is also reflected over a pond in the center of the village.
I rush back to the airport. Another man is rushing too, and we’re on the same flight. He checks the status and slows down, saying we’ve missed it. I say it’s scheduled for 7:22, so we still have time, but he argues that boarding has already started. I tell him that if we arrive during boarding and have assigned seats, we can still get on.
We run with our luggage. The airport is surprisingly large. He meets up with his dad and stops at the bathroom, while I continue running with another girl we met inside the airport.
We reach gate 10-3 and line up for the elevator. At the front, I see the man and his dad have made it there after stopping. The elevator pauses partway, and we worry, but I feel confident that since so many people in the elevator are going to the same flight, they’ll wait for us.
