WAKING UP!

[twin-fans.livejournal.com]

Your character is in a nice, warm bed, wearing their bedclothes (or lack thereof) of choice. It's comfortable, it's fluffy, and it's great...

Unfortunately, someone's in bed with them. They might roll over and accidentally cop a feel before waking up fully, they might notice the heat on their backs, but whatever the case may be, there's someone in there with them. They could easily remember the night before, how that happened, but...

Where's the fun in that?

That's where I usually sleep. [He looks around.]

Yup. So. [He narrows his eyes at her.] You're not trying to upset the Victorians, are you?

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

They're all dead, so no. And don't take this the wrong way, but there are much better ways of upsetting Victorians than mysteriously waking up in your bed.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose you sleepwalk? Or sleep-teleport?

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

No and... not unless the software on my apportation array managed to patch itself overnight. [drags one wrist out of the blanket to see if her bracelets are there... nope, they aren't.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[Okay, he makes a face at that. It's mostly a 'I wish I were awake enough to catch what you just said' face.]

So you magically appeared in my bed? I guess that's not that strange.

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

[Wyn's not even really awake enough to translate that from Technobabble to Irish, so that's probably for the best.] 's what it sounds like. Personally, I blame GLaDOS.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Apportation isn't a word.

GLaDOS? [No one has warned him yet.]

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

Is too, it just refers to translocation of objects instead of people.

Crazy AI. Traps people in forcefields with mistletoe, makes them run mazes... y'know, "the cake is a lie"?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

But you're people.

So there's no cake? Who cares? [He is not awake enough for this.] And she's trapped us in bed together why? A social experiment?

[He's going to use up his allotment of question marks pretty soon.]

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

Hence why I need to patch the software to include me. Or of you want to get really technical, the air around me.

It's... complicated. [She's not awake enough to explain the concept of Internet memes.] And the mistletoe was for crew cohesion or somethin', so maybe? I mean, I don't know if it's actually her or not.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

[Oh, the future has memes, just not that one.] So if we sleep together, we'll be friends? Isn't she mixing up cause and effect?

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

Testing definitely will be.

First mistake: you're looking to her for any sort of common sense.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

So my life continues to make no sense. At least it's consistent.

[He looks about ready to doze right off again.]

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

Hey, consistency is awesome.

... you wouldn't know what time it is, would you?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

I never know what time it is on this ship. But I'm going to go with 'way too early'.

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

[shrugs] Sounds good to me. I'm gonna go see if Stacy's got any coffee. You want some, or do you want to come with me or something?

[That would require her to sit up, though. Or at least look like she's going to move any time soon.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[Yaaaawn.] Thanks, but I try to avoid caffeine. [He doesn't succeed, but he tries.]

[He's not going to push her. That would require more energy than he has right now.]

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

Mmkay, back in a second. [She's taking your blankets with you, Lyle.]

[And she's back, with two mugs of coffee. Hey, if he doesn't want it, she'll take it.] Ta-dah.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[B-but my blankets. Oh well. He'll just curl up and snuggle with himself then.]

[He peers at her with one open eye as she returns.] If you drink that much coffee, it won't just be the caffeine keeping you up. [How far is it to the bathrooms anyway?]
