[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?

I agree. I'll be keeping an eye out for anything that trends that way, for all our sakes.
It did, I think. I met a fortune teller whose words troubled me.
Prior to that I had mostly decided I wasn't going to be able to graduate, so why bother?
After that was when I first began to try.

i think my breadth of tolerance for complaints would surprise you
thanks
please let me know too, if you could
did you doubted yourself? or the program?
it'd help to understand the mindset a bit better but don't feel compelled to answer if you feel that's too personal

Both, really. I had no reason to believe any of it would work when I first got there.
I do understand the reluctance the inmates have to buy in, especially with a totally new ship.
But my belief I was a lost cause had more to do with it, probably.
