✯ Eighth Session ✯ Action throughout the event (at night only)

[byakkoyagirl]

[During the day, Paprika doesn't have much motivation to be spotted anywhere. She keeps to herself, doesn't so much as glance as the journals, and patiently waits for the sun to set. For when the sun sets that is when all the good boys and girls go to bed. And, she will have to assist them in their endeavor

Ah... hello?

[ It's dark, and Aerith can't see Paprika yet. She can hear something at the window of her room in house 41, though, and she sits up on her bed to see better, speaking softly just in case Zack might be awake. ]

[Paprika doesn't return an answer, as she tries to sneak in as stealthily as she can. Aerith's call was so quiet that she didn't even notice it, assuming the other was still unaware of her presence. She fares a little better and doesn't fall flat on her face like the other times, but still stumbles in for the most part. Making a bit of noise and obvious that there was an intruder.]

[gardenerofgaia]

[ And Aerith starts, scrambling off her bed and reaching for her staff. ]

Hey! I don't know if you're in some story or what, but this room's taken!

[byakkoyagirl]

[Drat, she was spotted.]

Easy, no need to worry. I'm not looking to have a room or anything. I'm looking for you.

[gardenerofgaia]

ah--Paprika? What are you doing? I didn't think I was dreaming already...

[ She tilts her head, curious. Paprika was looking for her? ] Anyway, you found me! So what did you want to do?

[byakkoyagirl]

You aren't dreaming. In fact you aren't even asleep. Which is why I am here tonight. [She says, brushing her gown off lightly and looking toward Aerith with glee.] I'm here to put you to sleep, Aerith.

[gardenerofgaia]

[ She laughs, though still looking at Paprika with some bemusement. ] You're so excited about it... don't get me worked up, or I'll never close my eyes!

[byakkoyagirl]

You'll have to close them, one way or the other. Nothing to fear with that - I can easily put anyone to sleep!

[gardenerofgaia]

Oh yeah? How's that?

[ Still not closing them just yet! ]

[byakkoyagirl]

With my magical sand.

[And she holds up the bag of sand to prove her point.]

[gardenerofgaia]

...[ Kind of. Leaning in to check this out, her eyebrows rising in curiosity. ] What makes it magical? Looks like regular sand to me.

[byakkoyagirl]

[SIGH.]

Well of course to you it does. I can't let just anyone get this sand you know. But, it really is magical. Just a few sprinkles in your eyes and you'll be off to sleep before you know it.

[gardenerofgaia]

Oh I see, hide it by making it look normal. I know that trick. [ She laughs, but she's still a bit dubious. ] You know I can go to bed on my own, right? Or did you think I'd have a bad dream?
