video; late at night

[drama8om8]

[ It is a very tired Octavia that turns on her webcam tonight. An Octavia that is too tired to care that she's showing herself on the network sporting her dorky orange sun jammies and a giant tangle of bed hair. ]

So, uh. Lately I'm not sleeping so - [YAWWWWWWWWN] - great or whatever. Because, um.

[ She rubs at her eyes under her glasses briefly. ]

Nightmares! Yeah. I am having super terrible nightmares. Like. The worst. So I was hoping somebody would know how to stop somebody having dreams and stuff? Google isn't hel--

[ Then she's cut off by an exceedingly shouty voice that some might recognise as Alan's coming from somewhere offscreen. ]

I'LL KILL YOU ALL!

[ And she slams her laptop shut with a shriek. Busteeeeeeeed. ]

[drama8om8]

NO.

[ Wait that's the shittiest lie in the world ]

I mean. Yes. Just one of his little jokes! You know Alan. Such a jokey joke guy filled with jokes! WOW.

[vetala]

I guess I was wrong.
He is a little shouty.

[drama8om8]

He makes me sound like a quiet and demure young lady and I love it 8ut not when I'm trying to sleep I think my 8rain is going to start leaking out of my ears and it will stain my pillow and it will 8e so gross.

So gross.

Does he LOOK like he's fucking a 8ook to you?

[ THE ALLEGED BIBLIOPHILIA WAS THE ONLY INSULT THAT STUCK WITH HER OK ]

action; later

[wirsinddiejager]

[At some point - probably butts o'clock because who even knows with this kid's sleep schedule - Alan wakes up, refreshed and energetic. He sure doesn't look like someone who's been having terrible nightmares. He does notice that Octavia isn't as well-rested, though.]

Hey, are you okay? You're looking kinda tired.

action;

[drama8om8]

I'm not just okay. I'm hella. Awesome. Hellawesome.

[ This said with the most glazed and absent expression in the history of paradox space. ]

[toobig]

[Bertholdt doesn't sleep much himself, to be honest. He's awake a lot of the time for is editing in the middle of the night, but with everything being so crazy lately with the kids here... The screaming really isn't helping.]

[So he opens the door to the guest room, peering inside from the dark hallway looking... more tired and scary than normal. It doesn't help that the skin is peeling from one of his cheeks.]

Is something the matter?

action;

[drama8om8]

GAH!

[ AND SHE'S SCREAMING AND SLAMMING THE LAPTOP SHUT AGAIN. AND FALLING OFF THE EDGE OF THE BED. GJ.

She pops up again after a second or two in a cloud of sparkly bullshit. Geez, ukemom. Geez. ]

Jesus. I mean uh. No? Kinda.

action;

[wirsinddiejager]

[GOSH IT'S A GOOD THING ALAN IS ASLEEP OR HE WOULD BE SCREAMING ABOUT KILLING TITANS RIGHT NOW

text; we'll call it a bad night to sleep

[theboywiththebook]

[Uh, well that was a thing. He'd be mildly concerned if he hadn't just looked over some of the people's responses. He has the most helpful suggestion though for Tavia's boyfriend nightmare problems.]

Try a straight jacket.

[Because you never know when he may make due on those threats]

text;

[drama8om8]
