Aug 19, 2009 16:47

Good advice, Derek.

I hope you're doing better? How are things at the Bryant Park?

eba04 August 20 2009, 02:42:32 UTC

Needed to be said.

I'm better. ... I fixed my pillow. Not much of a tailor, but I'll do what I can. Hard enough to sleep without worrying about it.

geekofthegate August 20 2009, 03:53:16 UTC

Good to hear. Pillows are important commodities in this place. You can always steal an extra from the empty rooms, I'm sure.

eba04 August 20 2009, 04:09:08 UTC

...Right. Rather not steal any.

You okay?

geekofthegate August 20 2009, 04:19:21 UTC

Eh, I don't think it's stealing if no one has a claim on it. Much like how we loot the stores around here without it being stealing, because the items have no one claiming ownership anymore.

All things considered, I think I'm doing pretty fair. I was a little shaken up by the news, but...well, we press on. I'm not letting it get the best of me.

It's okay Derek. You tried. eba04 August 20 2009, 04:44:08 UTC

................ Right...

That's good. Lot of hard news but don't give up.

Siren's annoying though.

XD Daniel fails at intrepreting Derek code this time geekofthegate August 20 2009, 04:59:08 UTC

.......We're not talking about pillows, are we. [he is kind of grinning now as he figures this out]

I won't. You don't, either.

Yeah, tell me about it. It's giving me a headache. ...Seems to be bothering some preople more than others. I'm doing my best to keep people together over here.

[that's Daniel code for 'I'm gonna keep the others from falling apart because that's the best way to keep myself from falling apart. Oh yeah, and he's vaguely referencing Ziva's extreme reaction to the sirens due to flashbacks of bombing raids]

eba04 August 20 2009, 05:18:03 UTC

...

I won't.

A big headache and a rude awakening each night.

geekofthegate August 20 2009, 05:28:47 UTC

Yeah, I could do with more sleep at night. I think I might be able to dig up some noise-silencing headphones at one of my old scavenging spots. Want me to see if I can find a pair for you?

And you know how it is when you're low on sleep. Makes it harder to concentrate on little things, like tranlating texts. I'm way behind on my work.

[he is TECHNICALLY talking about literally doing some translating from a book, but you know the hint is obvious. ;)]

eba04 August 20 2009, 05:38:35 UTC

Don't want to block my hearing, but thanks.

... I find a cup of coffee helps me stay focused when tired.

geekofthegate August 20 2009, 05:45:01 UTC

Fair enough. Although keep in mind that you do have friends who'll likely let you know if you're missing anything. BPH is a big place.

And you know, pillows are pretty good for blocking out noise.

Ahh, yes, I could use a few cups of coffee right now, I guess.

eba04 August 20 2009, 06:14:59 UTC

True, but the more the better.

...I'm fine with one, Daniel.

...

Think I need a cup too.

geekofthegate August 20 2009, 06:34:48 UTC

[as this is voice, Derek should be able to tell the hint of good humor in Daniel's voice here]

You can never have too many pillows, Derek. Or were you trying to tell me something else earlier?

[tired laugh] I think we BOTH do at this point. You should come over sometime and share a cup with me, I can introduce you to a few of my buildingmates.

eba04 August 20 2009, 06:49:06 UTC

..... Right.

...

What are you talking about?

Have to wait a bit for things to settle. But... sure?

geekofthegate August 20 2009, 07:00:30 UTC

[just starts laughing. Not in a bad way, just at how rediculous this conversation had to get before one of them cracked]

I don't know, what were YOU talking about? I think you were making a metaphor about pillows and friends and I just completely missed it, so I was throwing it back at you.

And then I'm pretty sure you were implying something with the coffee, but I'm past being certain of anything at this point. I think I need a long nap. And all this arguing on this blasted Zero thread isn't helping matters.

Great. Let me know when you feel like coming over.

And I was serious about that if nothing else, in case you were wondering.

eba04 August 20 2009, 07:18:30 UTC

[muttered just under his breath]...This is why I don't do the talking...

Will do.
