[Tsukasa pops onto the second level, mostly asleep, kind of tossing and turning in his bed. He's murmuring things in his sleep, too.]

No... stop... don't hurt them... don't... no no no no no no no!

[He jerks violently, and ends up rolling off the bed and onto the floor. He wakes up once he hits it, and stares into the darkness.]

It was... just a

[That took her by surprise. Xiaoshi jumps back a ways in shock. She just gets to the second level and this is what she finds. D:]

Ahhhh, hey hey! Are you all right? Umm.... excuse me?

[She leans over to see if everything's peachy but keeps a good distance]

Uh, does your tummy hurt or something?

[not_elk]

[Looks up at the noise, and flails for a moment. Second level what.]

N... no. Just a bad dream.

[jiuweixiao]

[She backs off then and sits on her knees next to him]

Oh well as long as you're okay... Mn, yeah it's hard to have nice dreams here. [A pause to think] Ah! Grandpa used to tell me that if you drink milk before bed you'll sleep better. You should try that.

I'm Cheng Xiaoshi.

[not_elk]

Maybe...

I'm Tsukasa.

[Ahahaha~ Epitaph has been retrieved. So whatever nice!mode was left is now lost in the post-suffering asshole-ery that is a job well done. So have a phase leaning over your head from behind like a bastard ninja or something.]

Did you know~ His scream syncs up with the A in the fifth octave. Are you the same?

[not_elk]

[sldfksdf rather girly scream/shriek/whatever.]

Don't do that!

[thefirstphase]

[And jumps up to be squatting on the bed's headboard, looming over the now-not-sleeping Wavemaster. Anyone who reads Poe should be freaked out by now.] Don't do what~?

Having nightmares? About what I wonder, hmmm?

[not_elk]

[I was thinking Norse mythology, actually.]

Don't sneak up on me.

... Nothing. It's nothing.

[tickingshadows]

... [Drops the level. When she comes back, she holds out a cup of tea.]

Tonight's not all that good of a night for going to sleep or stayin' asleep, is it? Are you going to be okay, Tsukasa?

[not_elk]

[Sits up and takes the tea. He doesn't answer for a long time, trying to gather his thoughts.]

I... I don't know. Probably.

[tickingshadows]

Mm... [Thinks. Be rude of her not to...] Do you need to talk?

[not_elk]

[Wh... what?]

N... I couldn't ask that of you. It'd be selfish.

[bewitheredrose]

[?]

[not_elk]

[ ... Oh. There's someone there. Looks up. Rubs face.]

Hm?

[bewitheredrose]

A dream...?

[not_elk]

Something like that.

[Gathers blankets to put back on the bed.] A very bad dream.

[surpraizepitaph]

There seems to be a rash of people having trouble sleeping tonight...

[not_elk]

[Sniff.]

H... huh?

[surpraizepitaph]

Are you okay?

[not_elk]

I guess. It was just a dream... I think.
