[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?

[To be fair, this one takes way longer, because he has to color all the individual letters.]

The next time you see someone's post, you won't post them. Oh, no. Not the first time.
But as more and more comments go by and no one even suspects you, no one treats you respectfully, no one even fears your power to tentacle them... you'll think about it again. You'll think about it, and you'll know that it would be easy. That it might even be satisfying.
But then you'll think. No, that's not the sort of man I am. I control what I know, what I know doesn't control me.
But then one day you'll be backed into a corner. It happens to everyone. There's no shame in it.
You won't have much time to think about it. It'll be a reflex. There's no way for you or I to know here, today, how strong your instincts are. Or which is stronger. Some part of you will decide whether to die as the man you are or live as the man you could be.

Like that?
[Aki has NO IDEA how out of character this would be in a universe where he has the barest understanding of emojis and the connotations of using them. As it is, novelty wins.]
