Minute 6 [Video]

[tokinohime]

[The feed comes on, and instead of a very very cheerful troll like normal, it's none other than Aradia, who's currently just curled up against what seems to be a wall. She's been constantly fighting off sleep as long as she could, these things she was going through? You will probably NEVER guess.

She looked off into the distance for the longest

[Concerned Lily is Concerned.]

...Aradia? Are you alright?

[video]

[stopflow]

[POKER...FACE...]

Hi Lily! Um. Yes. I'm very much alright. I just... haven't been sleeping that well.

[video]

[hexywitch]

[You can't hide shit from Lily. She might have checked out a few of Aradia's other threads to figure out what was going on.]

...I have some potions. For sleep. Dreamless Sleep.

[video]

[stopflow]

[Yep she can't have that hidden.]

Would. Would they really work against... what he's done?

[video]

[hexywitch]

Well I don't know for sure, as I've never used it against this kind of ability, but...it should. It was created for nightmares. I can send you a vial with my owl, if you'd like?

[video]

[stopflow]

Please.

I just need at least one instance of where I can sleep without his presence at all... I'll try anything.

[Wait.]

D-Does it have to be an owl?

[video]

[hexywitch]

It should give you a full night's sleep. I've been brewing potions for weeks, I've got a good supply of it.

[She finishes reading that bit with Karkat. Oh. Whoops.]

I usually send my post by owl. But if you'd prefer I can bring it over personally.

[video]

[stopflow]

Oh... thank goodness.

[Thank goodness, indeed.]

I-In person, please. I'd really appreciate it like that.

[video]

[hexywitch]

[For real, Lily's been obsessively brewing potions, and she absolutely adores feeling useful, so this is like. Fate.]

Would it frighten you if I appeared out of nowhere with a loud popping sound?

[Aradia is the first person she's warned before apparating at.]

[video]

[stopflow]

[Go Lily! :o

Aradia sits up a tiny bit, trying to be as awake as she can.]

Um. I'm prepared!

[She's not prepared, but yay for that warning. 8D]

[video->action]

[hexywitch]

Alright, I'll be there in just a minute.

[She hangs up and grabs a few vials of a potion for dreamless sleep, tucking them into the sleeve of her cloak. The view of where Aradia is from the video is enough for her to apparate there, and so she does, just a few feet from where she is, with a loud popping sound.]

[action]

[stopflow]

[She wasn't as prepared as she had thought.

... She might have jumped and shouted just a tiny bit, but she had quickly covered her mouth in the process. oops]

O-Ohum. H-hi. [Hello I'm Aradia and I look REALLY BAD RIGHT NOW.]

[action]

[hexywitch]

[Oh dear, yes, she looks even worse in real life than she did over the SFC. Lily rushes to her, brow furrowed.]

I'm sorry. I've really been trying to figure out how to do that more quietly. Are you alright?

[action]

[stopflow]

N-No it's alright. [Steady, girl. Aradia holds up her hands, trying to show that she was okay. That wasn't a good idea, considering that she was sitting there slightly shaking from a combination of forces.]

Re: [action]

[hexywitch]

[Lily can't help herself, she crouches down beside the other girl and reaches for her hands.]

How long has it been? Since you truly slept?

[action]

[stopflow]

[She lets her take them, considering how friendly they both are to each other. She can trust Lily.]

A... a week.
