Psst. Check it out.

[ Guess who's totally trying to grab show off a selfie of him and his ~*~boyfriend~*~? This guy. Ryan is laying in bed (fully clothed, mind you. Don't get any ideas.) Behind him, Bertholdt is... what is he even doing, how can you possibly sleep like that? Um. Bertholdt is an... artistic sleeper. ]

That's not normal, right? Bertl always sleeps like this. And he kicks. A lot. I dunno how he does it.

[ He chuckles. You might notice his nose is bleeding though-- or steaming as it were. The blood just evaporates as soon as it drips down. ]

Anyway, just wanted to check in with everybody after the mine and all that. How're people doing? I know things can get tough with echoes and monsters and stuff. If anyone needs anything, remember you've got friends who're here to help! Even if you've got freaky powers or whatever. Or if you don't, too. I've scheduled more days off lately, so let me know.

PRIVATE TEXT TO ELLIE:
slumber party??? As you can see bertl is all set as long as you don't mind waking up with his feet/arms/head in your face.

[blinkblink, then;] Pppppfffftttt!!! That... wow. He's talented. How did he even get in that position?

... Oh uh.... [Shiro gestures to his own nose] Your... nose is on fire... I think...

[schild]

Right? I don't know how he manages to toss and turn this much.

Huh? [ He goes to check and-- oh there's blood. And it's gone. With steam. ]

That's new. Guess I should heal that.

[ And just like that, the bleeding stops?? ]

Wonder what that was about...

[hollowleg]

And stay asleep while he does it, jesus. I wonder if he's like... ahah! There's this DOG ok... and it lacks some sort of important neurological feature that keeps us from moving around like crazy when we're sleeping and... You know what, let me just find the video.

[while he's googling...] Ah, so your blood steams? That's weird. If you're getting random nosebleeds, you might wanna head over to the clinic. That could be bad, man. AH! Found it. [And he links this video] Haaaaa it's him as a dog.

If I agree to the slumber party, are you going to arrange me in ridiculous positions while I sleep? Because I'm pretty sure there are laws against that.

[ because no way could bertl have done that to himself

r....ight.................. ]

He does this to himself, I assure you.

No, seriously, he does. We were side by side last night...

[shortspoken]

You're aware that if he finds out you've been telling me what you and he do side-by-side at night, he might spontaneously combust?
Tsk.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

You're in YAOIS.

[schild]

In what-nows?

[ Turn back now, Ryan. Just... turn back. ]

[drama8om8]

You're in yaois!

[ DREAMY TEENAGE GIRL SIGH~ ]

You know! You're like. Together! Cutie boyfrandos. Doing the do.

[ ?

how is that

what ]

...what if he falls off...?

video;

[schild]

I'd catch him, of course! [ Big smile. ] I'm more worried about how he got that way, to be honest. Like, how is he still asleep...?

[text]

[goldenclothes]

[ yes she remembers that disarmingly huge smile from the first aid meeting, it is still disarmingly huge ]

Oh... yes, I suppose he's tall enough, he'd just sort of... slide off, wouldn't he? Maybe he's dreaming? Or, you know, like sleep-walking?...

[wirsinddiejager]

...Oh my god. I have to draw that.

[BRB GRABBING A SKETCHPAD BECAUSE THAT IS THE MOST ARTISTIC SLEEPING IN THE UNIVERSE.]

[schild]

Right? It's almost artistic. Show me when you're done!

Re: video;

[wirsinddiejager]

[FURIOUS SCRIBBLING. Alan has the angriest drawing style in the world.]

[handwritten]

[detectivetroll]

On a scale of one to ten, how much trouble would the artist be in if a picture of you two started circulating around the stations?

Also, man, you know your nose is bleeding - or something - right?

[schild]

Try to keep Bertholdt's identity a secret-- I don't know if he'd appreciate having his likeness passed around. [ Meaning you would, Ryan?? ]

Shit, really? Guess that foot his me harder than I thought. One sec... [ Ryan wipes his nose, watching as the blood evaporates and-- well, no more blood. ] It's weird, cause sometimes it heals, and sometimes I have to think about it...

video;

[eras]

I'm not sure how he doesn't fall over!

video;

[schild]

Maybe he's just top-heavy. Like a tall, skinny bulldog.

[ Ryan this is your boyfriend you're talking about... ]

voice;

[metalbent]

Dunno. How's he sleeping?

video;

[schild]

Ah, can you not see? [ Ryan's just gonna assume you're on a device with no video? Or something, he's too nice not to go all the way with this. ]

It's kinda like... [ He turns around, trying to figure out how to describe it. ] He's propped up against the wall, and his legs are in the air, but they're not quite touching the wall... And somehow he's still asleep, even though he's starting to drool a bit.

action;

[toobig]

[Well aren't you a great boyfriend, talking about him behind his back. Er, while he's sleeping rather. Somehow, unconsciously, Bertholdt seems to know about this.]

[Which is why when he shifts positions, his foot ends up in Ryan's face again, with enough force to knock him sideways.]

[Sitcom level: 9.]

action;

[schild]

[ Ow! Okay, yeah, he had that coming. He totally just topples over cause he wasn't expecting that. He's gonna get another bloody nose at this rate. ]

[ Someone get these two a room. Oh wait. ]

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

Wow. Yeah, that looks like a recipe for a very stiff neck. You okay yourself?

And I see I missed something. People have been talking about going back to the mines since the Sage thing, I know a couple people here and there went on their own, but I guess a mass revisit actually happened...

voice;

[schild]

I'm alright. Messed up my hand--er, arm, a bit, but it healed up. [ To put it lightly. ]

There was a group. Mostly kids though, which is why I went along. Thankfully, there wasn't anything to see. A weird noise and a bunch of those monsters, but they didn't even swarm us or anything. I guess they sorta just... live there now?
