Possibly Stale Movie Cookies, Updraft-Riding Raccoon - 2022-08-26 - TOGoS's Journal

I was at some big movie theater with multiple screens and sort-of complicated layout. Sara had sent me off to get her a cookie, and Joh and I were wandering around looking for a concession counter that sold them. We found a small stand at the bend in some wide-yet-obscure hallway that had a rack of vacuum-sealed cookies, and I tried to buy one, but the standkeeper insisted that they were too old and that he wouldn't sell it to me. So I just took it and ran off, instead. The cookie was probably fine, I figured, and I didn't want to let Sara down.

There was this funky cloud in the sky that was somehow full of minerals, and people mined it. One day a raccoon wandering around down in some valley came across a peculiar spot where there was a constant updraft strong enough to suck them up into the mineral cloud, thereby becoming the first mammal to discover the source of the minerals and also ride it.

The cloud itself was sort of solid, so once you were up there you could just stand on it. Kind of like a Super Mario cloud.

I think the updraft was inspired by an alien vent we found in Subnautica tha previous day.
