February 22, 2026 - Destruction, Destiny and Kirby

I dreamed that...

I was a traveling man, somewhat built like Alexandre Astier. This POV did not last very long before it turned into a series. I will therefore call him Alexandre for clarity. Alexandre had prepared all his belongings and was looking through the window of his small plane. He was going to travel, change countries. Taking a low-cost plane was not the best choice, but he probably needed it. Here we go. Takeoff. Before the plane even leaves the ground, a huge explosion is heard and the plane literally breaks in two but causes no damage. Very annoyed, Alexandre leaves the plane.

We then find ourselves in a place similar to a desert, but where the city is gradually being built. Here, four characters are represented:

• Alexandre, the protagonist of the story, a rather short man with short brown hair. He is portrayed as a writer with a very blasé personality. He is the anti-hero figure.
• (Since his name is not mentioned, I will give him one) Strauss, the "villain" figure. He is a man with very delicate features, almost yaoi-esque, with long silky hair.
• Brendan, a man slightly taller than Alexandre, chubby, with blond hair with chestnut highlights. He is very kind and acts as support for Alexandre.
• A rather slender woman who is probably native to the desert.

There is a parade marking Strauss’s triumph as king... although very different from what he expected. A parade where one is celebrated in the desert with village traditions is no easy task. He must smile, remain dignified, despite the intense heat, the sweat, and the flies surrounding him. Although trying to keep his face as still as possible to maintain appearances, a few spasms reveal his discomfort and unease. He had been entrusted with this mission, but he felt that the burden of being king of this country would not be pleasant and that he would suffer a lot.

Alexandre is in his office, in an apartment with a slightly more French aesthetic than the desert. He works, grumbles a bit, writing a few words but mostly thinking a lot about the text he has to write. Meanwhile, the woman is in the square, outside, in front of the building where Alexandre works. She is waiting for Brendan, who eventually arrives. He turns around and laughs. "What’s going on?" asks the woman. He places his hands like a camera frame, then steps aside. One step, two steps, three, he is almost on the road. "Look!" She looks at the building but sees nothing. She shrugs, thinking it's nothing. Brendan, however, sees Alexandre grumbling over his paper. It makes him laugh. Strauss passes by in a luxury car, looking melancholic. He does not want to lead. He does not want to be there. We then follow the woman as she ends up in a small desert market. There are many small trinket shops, including Kirby trinkets. She approaches, curious, but another person grabs a Kirby keychain, looks at her, then goes to get others elsewhere. She looks visibly sad. That’s when Mr. B appears and shows her the rest of his Kirby collection. Bowls. Pins.
