I am part of an improv team, and we are set to perform for the first time. There are two white guys and a Chinese woman on the team. We have a long conversation about plans. Other teams are rehearsing their performances, which seems to go against the spirit of improv. I quit and wander off, then come back. I show the one truck I can do, pulling up my legs and hovering a couple feet off the ground. I can move around without friction. We’re the last to perform. A teammate initiates by saying he’s a parking lot attendant. I pass through. My partners do to, but I’m not paying attention. I come up with a good joke - I’ll hover and say that someone stole the wheels on my bike and now it won’t hit the ground. Just as it’s my turn, he says “That’s it!” And ends the show. I decide to keep hovering to at least impress the audience. As I get on stage, the host presses a button and everyone starts to hover. I get very angry. I decide to hover over the water, because only I can do that. As I reach the water, all the lights go out. I yell “I CAN SEE IN TOTAL DARKNESS” out loud, loud enough that it wakes me up.
