.048 | SPAM FOR ALICE MORGAN // backdated to start of flood // Perry and others welcome, too!

Aug 29, 2011 12:19

[Talk about shitty timing for a flood. With things as rocky as they were with Perry, now was so not the time for the Admiral to throw another inmate at him. Arthur looked at his item, checking it for the, what, hundredth time, as he followed his instinct (or flood-mandated yearning for closeness) all the way to Alice Morgan. He'd seen her around ( Read more... )

[It was late. Maybe even edging into 'early'. Alice was lying in the dark, eyes starting to discern shapes in the near-blackness. Not a heavy sleeper at the best of times, she hadn't really remembered falling asleep or waking up and could only assume she had from the fact she felt rather more well-rested.

Five feet was not a long way: she could hear Arthur's breathing. It didn't have the deep evenness of sleep to it.]

If it's any consolation, I doubt anyone is sleeping much tonight,

[OOC: III hope a second, later thread is okay. :C You weren't around to ask. I wept.]

[Arthur lifted his face from his pillow. He'd been drifting in and out, never really reaching the REM state, judging by the way he felt. Not that it was ever easy to tell-- he couldn't dream on his own. When he was younger, dreams were the way he could tell he'd actually been asleep.]

Yeah. [He chuckled softly, rubbing his eyes.] But at least we don't have to worry about the other pulling a knife or a gun or a... pillow, or something. [OR DID THEY?]

I was never any good at sleepovers. [Although, technically, his entire line of work was a giant slumber party.]

[Alice laughed softly, for just a moment longer than the comment warranted, then let the silence expand to fill the room again.]

Do you dream much, Arthur?

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM paradoxlol August 31 2011, 15:28:38 UTC

[He looked at her, brow raised slightly, then shrugged.] About as much as anyone else. I don't remember most of my dreams. You?

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM likedarkmatter August 31 2011, 15:53:56 UTC

I think I must. I seem to get all my best ideas when I'm sleeping.

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM paradoxlol August 31 2011, 15:58:11 UTC

Some people are productive sleepers. I'm usually dead to the world. [Also, a liar.]

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM likedarkmatter August 31 2011, 19:54:48 UTC

You do surprise me. I would have thought you'd find sleep very productive.

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM paradoxlol August 31 2011, 19:57:47 UTC

[There was a slight shift in his demeanor to something more guarded, although he kept up the friendly front.] Do I seem like the type? I'm not that much of a workaholic.

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM likedarkmatter August 31 2011, 20:26:56 UTC

[On the other hand Alice's tone was light and playful, almost gossipy.]

And that would certainly be the case if you worked while you slept, but I think it would be more accurate to say that you sleep when you work.

Re: MONDAY NIGHT SPAM paradoxlol August 31 2011, 20:44:52 UTC

[Oh, he wasn't liking this at all. But then, Arthur wouldn't be very good at his job if he cracked under a few hints.]

I don't think I've ever been accused of sleeping on the job before.

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM likedarkmatter August 31 2011, 21:04:45 UTC

It's hardly an accusation when your job actually demands sleep.

Re: MONDAY NIGHT SPAM paradoxlol August 31 2011, 21:13:37 UTC

Don't think much of librarians, do you? [Enough banter.] What do you think I do for a living?

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM likedarkmatter August 31 2011, 21:39:45 UTC

[Her tone became a little less playful. Just a bit.] I think that you put people to sleep and then step into their dreams, rummage through their memories and plant ideas in their heads. That's what.

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM paradoxlol August 31 2011, 23:09:52 UTC

I think that's a pretty big leap to make. [There was an edge to the neutral voice he was affecting.] Who told you that? [Capa, Perry, Eames... He didn't think she'd ever spoken to Mal before she left. He racked his mind over the possibilities, wondering if somebody-- maybe even himself-- told her in the alternate Barge.]

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM likedarkmatter August 31 2011, 23:20:29 UTC

Nobody needed to. You left it scattered all over your journal. [She gave a little thoughtful hum.] Although I have to give some credit to the rumour mill of our counterpart Barge for giving a little extra context to what I already knew.

MONDAY NIGHT SPAM paradoxlol August 31 2011, 23:26:16 UTC

No, I didn't. [Or did he? Arthur frowned, getting up to move away from Alice as much as the flood would allow him. He had his back to her for a moment, shoving his hand in his pocket to finger his totem subtly. Well, she was clever. He had to admire it. He turned to look at her.]

Was it the Baudelaire? [That poem was the most public hint he could think of that was even on the network.]
