Talent Show

I went over to my friends' frat house, I hadn't showered and felt disgusting and uncomfortable the entire time, it had been days since I showered. They were having a big talent show and were preparing for it. I sat next to my friend and we just chatted and smoked as everyone got ready for the show. I sat down into a big, ugly, old, squishy couch by myself to watch, it was really uncomfortable and I kept drifting around with how soft it was.

The first to go was a group of women in dresses twice as long as they were. None of them knew what they were doing and tripped all over themselves, knocking each other down. We all clapped anyway. One very nerdy looking woman sat down next to me after they were done, I really started to notice how badly I needed a shower.
When she sat down, it made us start to sink towards each other but I kept trying to sink back so it wouldn't be awkward. The next talent was people playing a game of Stellaris, I could tell the girl next to me was really into the game.

Eventually I started to get sweaty and uncomfortable, partly from it getting warm and partly from all the grime on my body from not showering. I sat up and kept sinking even more into the couch, the cushions going up my sides.
After squirming a bunch, a guy next to me asked what my issue was and I explained the whole couch situation. Especially how it's awkward because it's like the couch is forcing me to cuddle this people I've never even hung out with before. She laughed when she heard me say that and quietly said, "maybe we should." I said I would be down and finally got more comfortable in the couch.

The show ends and I get up and start talking to my friends. Eventually the girl comes up to me, her voice is extremely nasally. I see her face up close for the first time and it's spotted with long black hairs on her cheeks and forehead, her glasses are covered in tape. She asks if I was serious before, and I told her yes and asked for her phone number. She tells me no, and that if we do it, it has to be tonight because she's busy. She continues to mention that she lives with her family and they don't allow technology, but I could come over to her house and we'd be left alone. I say I'd need to shower but sure it could work. Then she starts asking about what we're going to do, I suggested Settlers of Catan, but she starts wiggling her fingers in front of me, pretending to grab. She asks, "can I really do this? Can I touch all of THAT? What do I even do with it? I really need all of it."

Heavy Liquid

 I lived in a large house with a huge family. The father was obsessed with swimming pools, and had a few in the house. They were all heated by large metal plates with electricity running through them, and there was a large chandelier in the dining room made out of the same metal plates. He asked me to retrieve a heavy liquid. I went to the liquid merchants, a husband and wife. The husband didn't talk, but he knew all about the liquids while the wife handled the business end of things. I asked about heavy liquids and they said they have some, but it's so valuable that they won't trade it.

I went out to the backyard, and Josh from Drake and Josh was there, he was our sibling. A crow flies down from the sky, and it transforms into Drake. He's holding a water bottle full of gasoline and is so excited thinking it's a heavy liquid. Then they start fighting over it, but I take the gasoline and keep looking for the liquid. Right when I was inside, a file organizer starts to talk to me telepathically, it's the voice of the liquid merchant's wife. She tells me that there are dark times ahead, and she will trade the heavy liquid for the gasoline. I quickly agree, and ask about the dark times. She tells me about how she met with a crow who shared some important secrets, and they must leave the area now. Confused, I tell her that my brother happens to be a crow. I stare at the file organizer for a few minutes before she tells me she has to go, and vanishes.
