[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?

Pretty sure we're likelier to die of dehydration before we mummify unless we take very specific steps. I think I learned about some old, now forbidden, mummified Buddhist monks somewhere though.

[saklas]

Don't really care, just providing commentary. It's better than reading your sorry bitching all the time.

[saklas]

Writing sorry bitching is better?

No, I shouldn't even ask. It usually is.

[lessandmorethanhuman]

It's entertaining, if nothing else. Just wondering why you bother.

[saklas]

Oh, why I bother? Why I'm not being a good prisoner that's grateful to be told that I'm evil and I deserve to be taken away from my home and family, by people who won't tell me why, and don't care whether or not I say I didn't do anything?

God, that's a hard one. I'm going to have to really think about that.

[lessandmorethanhuman]

No one says you have to be a 'good' prisoner, but there's gotta be something better you could do than just bitching.

[saklas]

OH, LITERALLY WHAT?

Eating? Crying? Crying while eating.

Oh, you're right. I could be learning to read Ancient Dwarven. Girls LOVE Ancient Dwarven. They'd be all over me.

Ty, I'm tired

[lessandmorethanhuman]

Sleep. Exercise. Go read from the damn library they supplied us with. Question the damn bird-robot. Instead you're choosing to bitch about it in the most juvenile way.

[saklas]

The library is doctored and so is the bird. You'd have found that out on day one if you were paying attention.

I've been sleeping like you wouldn't believe. I've slept so hard it'd make your hair curl. My pillow is a broken shell of its former self. His own mother wouldn't recognize him.

[lessandmorethanhuman]

Of course things are doctored and biased here. Doesn't mean you can't still learn from it.

[saklas]

Yeah, you're right, that is exactly what I said. It's crazy how you got that straw to look exactly like a man, you're really talented.

[lessandmorethanhuman]

Oh, gee, we've progressed to making fun of me. Cute.

[saklas]

Is pointing out your argumentative fallacies making fun of you?

Maybe don't use them.

[lessandmorethanhuman]

Okay, I'll give you that one. You must be one dedicated troll back home.

[saklas]

You're assuming I do this to make people mad.

No. I just like to win.

[lessandmorethanhuman]

If that's the only way you have to win, that's kind of pathetic.

[saklas]

Again, that is absolutely not the thing I said. Two in a row from you, wow!
