[Pyro is just walking around, like usual Mayfield. But today he looks a lot more tired than usual: his steps falter and sometimes he looks close to falling on his face. Every time he trips on himself, he manages to get back up, muttering to himself. Approach him if you dare.]

[A few hours and a short nap later, Pyro

[She notices and tries to trip him; sticking a foot out to see if it catches him.]

Hey there, Blue. What's eatin' ya?

[hotfrombehind]

[He falls, naturally, but he doesn't jump up and glare at her. He simply mumbles to himself and moves to sit up.]

Nothin'. Ground's just being fucking weird again. Does that sometimes, y'know? It's like it knows that I ain't sleepin' or whatever. Fucking psychic ground, Red. You should watch out.

[retardantflame]

Um. Okay? Why haven't ya been sleepin', then? [She sits down next to him. Why not?]

[hotfrombehind]

'Cause sleeping fucking sucks. 'Sides, thing's're more interesting when I don't sleep, y'know? Feel more... well, awake that way.

[Have a hollow laugh.]

[retardantflame]

And now yer overtired. Have you stopped moving once since ya last slept? Jesus fuck, 'n' I thought I was bored. Least you're not doped up an medication. [She thinks about it.] ...Are you?

[hotfrombehind]

Ain't no drugs'r alcohol in my system. Shit's not for me.

And I don't really stop moving, why would I? Might actually fall asleep if I did.

[retardantflame]

Usually.

That's kinda the point. You're sitting down now, aren't ya? That's not close enough?

[hotfrombehind]

Yeah, well, if I can't fuckin' physically get the fuck out, I ain't have much options.

Uh. Well. Y'know. You're talkin' to me an' shit, so...

[retardantflame]

Other than takin' it, that is.

So if I stopped talking you'd fall asleep?

[hotfrombehind]

Pretty much. Who wants to do that?

N-No. I'd get up and start walkin' again, geez. Just decided to have a fuckin' break, god.

[retardantflame]

People who are strong enough to.

How about if I pin ya, will ya sleep then?

[hotfrombehind]

[Have a barking laugh.] Well, obviously that ain't me.

N-No, I don't think so. Well, 'less it was with fuckin' knives or somethin', but y'might get my blood running too quick to let me get any sleep.

[retardantflame]

Yup. 'S been established, I think.

I'll take that as a compliment. Is there any way I can get you to sleep, Blue?

[hotfrombehind]

Thanks, really 'preciate it.

No. There's no fuckin' way, you'd have t'get me t'fuckin' pass out or somethin'. S'not so bad then, usually it's harder to hear the screaming when I just pass out.

[retardantflame]

You're welcome! [A smile.

She furrows her brow for a second.] Alright, Blue, come on, let's go. [She gets up and tries to pick him up so she can carry him. It would probably be safer than letting him walk.]

too lazy to log in properly so no icon for yoooouu

[hotfrombehind]

[H'e pretty heavy, so if she can carry him, he doesn't have the mind or energy to protest. He just yelps and flails a little bit.]

Fuck's going on? Red? What's happening?
