Sleeping remedies. What’s the best one to knock someone into a coma?

[audio] [locked to Mikaela / 10 % unhackable] WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY BENNETT DOES NOT LIEK IT folkloristlore November 1 2010, 15:52:57 UTC

[Bennett's been awake for a while now, trying to figure out WHY HE CAN'T SMELL EVERYTHING anymore, it's kind of wonderful, even if his eyesight has taken a nosedive again. Beyond that, his own personal nightmares have been keeping him awake-- Mikaela's text startles him first, and worries him immediately.]

Have you, uh-- I mean, it won't be like, a coma-coma, but... lavender? Lavender oils, they, uh... it's a really peaceful sleep. Very calming. I can see if I can find something for you?

[He wonders how... well, effeminate, that really makes him sound that his first thought is lavender oil instead of like... calcium supplements. It's not like it's a secret here, though, so he shrugs off the thought.]

Lavender...

Sure. That actually sounds really great.

Why are you still awake?

[Audio] [locked to Mikaela / 10 % unhackable] folkloristlore November 1 2010, 17:05:11 UTC

I'll see what I can find. Might end up being, like, uh, tea, or something.

[There's a pause.]

I, uh-- I can explain when I see you, I guess.

[And he's off to find some random lavender stuff.]

Tea is fine, but...you don't have to roam around. I know it's insanely early in the morning.

[audio] [locked to Mikaela / 10 % unhackable] folkloristlore November 1 2010, 17:11:50 UTC

[About ten minutes later, he replies with a quiet chuckle.]

Well, I-- uh, I found some stuff, anyway. Uh, I can bring it by? I mean, I'm already up, it's not... not too much of a thing.

Sure. I'm not going back to sleep anytime soon. Come on over.

[Audio] folkloristlore November 1 2010, 17:31:37 UTC

Uh, where'm I delivering to, Mikaela? I've, uh-- you've only visited me.

[He forgets to lock it in his haste to ask.]

[text] chopshopgoddess November 1 2010, 17:34:43 UTC

Oh, uh - right.

[She rattles off her deck and room number for him.]

[Commentlog] folkloristlore November 1 2010, 17:37:13 UTC

[About ten minutes later, there's a cautious, quiet knock on the door and another awkward laugh.]

I, uh, good morning. Special delivery?

[Commentlog] chopshopgoddess November 1 2010, 17:41:10 UTC

[When she opens the door, she looks mostly together, though there are dark circles under her eyes, and she looks as if she were crying not too long ago.]

Hey, Bennett. Come on in.

[Commentlog] folkloristlore November 1 2010, 18:02:55 UTC

[Ben looks wiped out himself-- similar dark circles, but no tears. He's got a bag full of random stuff, and a cup of tea balanced precariously on a saucer. He brushes past Mikaela into the room.]

I, uh-- I found a bunch of random stuff that should help. Maybe.

Uh, where can I set this?

[The teacup jingles dangerously in his shaking hands.]

[Commentlog] chopshopgoddess November 1 2010, 18:12:51 UTC

[ Once he's in, she pushes the door shut behind him, then comes to gently extract the teacup from his shaking hands.]

Right there on the dresser.

[She gestures, though shes giving him a careful once over.]

Are you okay?

[Commentlog] folkloristlore November 1 2010, 18:19:00 UTC

Me? Yeah! Ye-yeah, I'm totally-- I'm great.

[Please note that Bennett is a LYING LIAR WHO IS BAD AT LYING. He sets the bag down in an attempt to distract himself from that question, and starts pulling out a couple of items-- among them a stuffed puppy dog, a vial of lavender oil, a box of lavender tea, and a pillow.]

[Commentlog] chopshopgoddess November 1 2010, 18:30:54 UTC

[...Yeah, not buying that. She steps over to him, carefully reaching to take his shoulder and turn him to face her.]

Bennett. What's the matter? What happened?

[Commentlog] folkloristlore November 1 2010, 18:48:08 UTC

[OH GOD THE TOUCHING, he flinches, turning, eyes darting away immediately. He sputters a bit, fumbles with the bag and shakes his head.]

No, no no no no, I'm here for you, this isn't about me.

[Commentlog] he reminds me of Sam with all the "no's" chopshopgoddess November 1 2010, 18:50:48 UTC

...

[Yeeeeeeah. Soemthing's up. He didn't flinch from her last time.]

I'm more worried about you right now. What. Happened?
