[when the Sphere turns on, it shows him sitting in an office somewhere on Level 12, hands covering his face and muffling his mutterings. his knuckles are bloody and the two fingers on his left hand still move with an odd detachment like they're simply along for the ride and not being controlled by him. he's not showing it, but those nerve endings ( Read more... )

[after more than four days without sleep, Oliver is looking miserably haggard and exhausted. he is sitting at a table in the Library, his head resting on his arms on the table in front of him, deep, dark circles under his eyes and his hair and clothing messy and rumpled] Doctor? Calm down. [blinks sleepily, rubbing at his eyes] But... [yawns] ...if Orion replies, let me know, okay?

bit_impossible June 15 2009, 19:23:17 UTC

[frowns seeing his friend in such a state.]

You don't think he's actually going to reply, do you?

oliverplus June 15 2009, 19:24:34 UTC

No. But why not try, right?

bit_impossible June 15 2009, 19:31:47 UTC

Oh yes, trying never hurt anyone.

oliverplus June 15 2009, 19:34:55 UTC

Good attitude!

[blinks; distractedly] Unless he holds it against you, anyway. But if he's trying to kill us all, I guess that doesn't matter anyway...

[is secretly glad that in his sleep deprived state, Oliver had missed his sarcasm.]

He wouldn't be the first person to do that--and he certainly won't be the last.

oliverplus June 15 2009, 19:39:24 UTC

[smiles with tired optimism] Nope! You'll get him. [yawns widely]

bit_impossible June 15 2009, 19:43:10 UTC

Good to see you've defaulted to a much more pleasant state of mind, Oliver. [smiles slightly]

How are you feeling?

oliverplus June 15 2009, 19:46:34 UTC

Me? Oh, I'm hanging in there. Just researching...uh... [blinks, tilting his head without lifting it up from the table in an attempt to read the spine of a book across from him] Wait, what was I reading that for? Looks like trashy alien fiction...

bit_impossible June 15 2009, 19:48:47 UTC

Unconsciously looking up different alien lovemaking techniques? Goodness Oliver, and here I thought you didn't want to go see Chloe just yet.

oliverplus June 15 2009, 19:52:15 UTC

Hey! I don't need any alien help with Chloe. [glumly] I just need her not to be mad at me... [gazes ahead blearily, sighing]

bit_impossible June 15 2009, 19:59:51 UTC

[mutters] Now that I didn't need to hear.

Why would she be mad?

oliverplus June 15 2009, 20:02:08 UTC

Maybe 'cause I left her for who-knows-how-long and I'll get back who-knows-when and I'll be like...I don't even know. Not the same. [gestures vaguely]

bit_impossible June 15 2009, 20:06:08 UTC

So eloquent.

oliverplus June 15 2009, 20:09:45 UTC

Well, you know what I mean! Anyway, why are we talking about Chloe?

bit_impossible June 15 2009, 20:17:48 UTC

You were talking about research, Oliver. Let me guess, you were hoping to find some sort of trick to falling asleep, hmm?
