[Loki's having trouble sleeping. The turbulence has his heart racing and stomach dropping with every sudden motion, and while he knows the likely reason why, he's not about to admit it. And while the Navarch's offer of medication is kind, he's not so certain he wants to knock himself out entirely while he's paired with his current inmate.

So he's up. And tense. And looking for a distraction. Perhaps he's not alone.]

Is anyone else awake? I'm not one for pills, unfortunately, so I haven't managed a single wink. And now I am just terribly bored.

Who's up for a chat? We're all still fairly new here, after all. Can't hurt to share the basics with the group, yes?

For example: Why are you here? Or why do you *think* you're here, at any rate. That should get us through the rest of the night on its own, for some of you.

But I also have time to hear all about your tragic childhoods and major regrets, if you'd like. Might as well get started on graduations while we've got the extra time. And what better time for baring your soul during a bout of insomnia?

Unless they know the first part and not the second part.

How insulting to assume your kidnappers are too stupid to do any sort of research on you.
Especially given it takes very little time to see how combative you can be.
You'd think we would have thrown you out as soon as our calls for ransom went unanswered and you continued to put up a fuss.

Do you understand that the proof that someone would take me from my home and trap me is the fact that I'm trapped here and that I was at home earlier, and that the fact that I can't provide an airtight reason why they did this doesn't magically make it so it didn't happen and send me home?

Unless everyone is telling the truth about your being dead and this is a form of afterlife. In which case you weren't taken so much as rescued from oblivion.
But that is understandably much harder to swallow.
I just hope you consider the fact that it makes little sense for anyone to kidnap you and therefore there's likely another explanation.

Is it a rescue if you lost everything you'd have lost by dying anyway and didn't even get to

just

rest for once?

If it just fucking keeps going and going and the prize for not collapsing under it is more weight?

[shiftedshape]

I think that part is rather up to you.
It isn't easy, of course.
But you've been given a break from your reality.
Maybe take advantage of it. That's what I did.
