[Accidental Voice*]

[A loud, startled gasp, followed by the sound of panting breath. There's a rustle of bedsheets, followed by the sound of something small and solid hitting the floor.] .....dammit. No...!

...It's not... REAL. This isn't going to work...

[Umi's voice is obviously tired. There's a sound of fumbling as she bends to pick up her

I guess it really is a curse. I hate that they seem to enjoy making things worse for people.

[soulofocean]

That seems to be a favorite pastime of theirs. But at least there's something we can do about this one.

[phasedcat]

I hope it doesn't last long, it's hard to stay awake forever. I've tried. Are you handling it all okay?

[soulofocean]

As best as coffee allows me to. My roommates and I are having a slumber party to keep ourselves awake until midnight. That should help.

[phasedcat]

That's probably a good plan, I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing.

[soulofocean]

Did you find a good way to stay awake, Kitty?

[phasedcat]

I work on computer stuff and go to the workout room for hours.

[soulofocean]

Workout. But won't that help making you tired...?

[phasedcat]

Not if you just keep pushing through it.

[soulofocean]

I think you'll need more coffee than I do, to push through that...

[phasedcat]

I've been doing it a lot lately so I'm used to it.

[soulofocean]

Maybe I should be worried about not being in shape. I bet that I'd drop dead if I tried to train right now.

[phasedcat]

I have a lot of practice with training to push through anything.

[soulofocean]

That's a really useful sort of practice to have. I'm sorry to hear that you need it in your world.

[phasedcat]

It helps a lot when you don't want to face things, which is what we do best. Don't be sorry, it's always been my choice. I wonder how much coffee a person can drink?

[soulofocean]

I'm glad that it's like that. Only so much before it makes you sick, I think! But there may be alternatives...
