[Someone's trying hard not to freak out. It's not really working.]

Okay, waking up in a different place than the one you went to sleep at isn't that weird all things considered. There's been weirder stuff than this. Weirder stuff than something like-- I don't know, sleepwalking. That just happens sometimes. Sleepwalking is normal. Sort of. Right

I've never heard of that. But maybe something's on your mind? [pause, maybe that wasn't helpful]

[backpedal!] Sleepwalking isn't that big a deal.

voice.

[thronor]

Something on my mind?

And it is if you do it for a month.

I once heard that if something's bothering you and you ignore it, sometimes it pops up as a problem with your body. Psychology or something.

Do you end up doing things while you're sleepwalking? Has anyone told you?

voice.

[thronor]

Haven't heard that one before. But I don't think... anything has been really bothering me.

I don't know. No one has.

voice.

[sway_over_time]

Are you going to the clinic to get it checked out?

voice.

[thronor]

Well, I'm not sure if it really was sleepwalking. It could have been the Porter messing around. Or aliens.

But I guess it's better safe than sorry.

voice.

[sway_over_time]

Any of that still sounds like a problem.

Do you really think aliens got to you?

voice.

[thronor]

Yeah, but then it wouldn't be my fault.

It's possible! I've dealt with aliens before, they can be nasty.

voice.

[sway_over_time]

Why would sleepwalking be your fault? You can't help it.

I hope not all aliens are.

voice.

[thronor]

It would still be me, getting up and walking around. I'd have no one to blame but myself? Sort of.

Oh no, there's nice ones too.

voice.

[sway_over_time]

I don't know. Maybe there's a good reason you started doing it.

I've met the nice ones here. I didn't know any in my world.

voice.

[thronor]

Guess I'll just have to wait and see if I'll do it again.

That's good. You don't really want to meet the bad kind.

voice.

[sway_over_time]

Do you share a room with someone? Maybe you can tie a rope around both of you.

voice.

[thronor]

That's a good idea... but sadly I don't. I guess I could ask someone though.

voice.

[sway_over_time]

Just don't tie it too hard or your leg will fall asleep. Or maybe just have a sleepover and have a person block the door.

voice.

[thronor]

Yeah. I think I'll try something like that. Thanks!
