Sleep is for the Weak [Video]

[now_i_know]

[Catherine flips on her screen at... well... it's either really late at night or really early in the morning. Despite the ungodly hour, she seems as lively as ever.]

[This can't be right.]

Heeey~♪

Can somebody please spot me twenty bucks? I just had three of these Ballz Energy Drinks and they're great stuff! The thing is, though, I just drank my third one in th' past hour and they're just not working as good as they should. So I just need to borrow a little bit of dough, head over to the convenience store, and get me another twelve pack and I'll be golden.

And don't worry about payin' you guys back. I'm good for it, honest! I just need to study just a bit more of this exponents homework and then I'll be good. Oh, but I also gotta read up on The Great Gatsby. And maybe follow up on my *yawn* on that Cuban Missile crisis thing...

[ Once again, Takakage breaks his text-only rule for an emergency. Why is he up? That is a good question. ]

Go to bed, Miss Catherine. [ That's an order. ]

[now_i_know]

[URK... it's the fuzz!]

O-Okay... just as soon as I'm done with this exponents homework...

[thirdarrow]

[ The fuzz? ]

I can help you with it.

[now_i_know]

[The popo. The boys in blue. The police!! D:]

[She smiles sheepishly, though her eyes look downcast.]

But... you already did so much for me...

[thirdarrow]

[ Takakage isn't the police, but he does have fuzzy hair... ]

It's alright. Don't overstress your body - in the long run, you will learn slower than if you rest well.

[ He's suffered from this too as a youth. Don't follow his footsteps. ]

[no_girl]

They're not working because you had too many too quickly. Your body has adjusted to the output.

Go to bed.

...hey Martha.

*yawn*

I just need to do a little more. Then I'll be caught up for the first month.

Y'think you can help me out?

Re: [video]

[no_girl]

I think I can, but I'd help a lot better if you nap first. Hold on, I got a website for this...

[And she sends Catherine a link.]

[now_i_know]

[The last time she fiddled with the finer details of this infernal contraption, the other person didn't have to see her struggle. But since Martha sent it and open a video connection, she gets to see the difficulties of having metal fingers. She has to press numerous buttons to click the right one, fidget on the touch pad, fidget more with the touch pad, and finally after almost a minute of two of anguished effort...]

What's dis?

[the_prodigal_son]

I can get 'em for you.

[Unfortunately, Jack is from back when soda was considered healthy.]

Do you need help studying? I can't read real fast but I've got a good memory, and I don't need much sleep.

[now_i_know]

Really! Great!

[She's not going to argue it.]

I ain't even gonna bother to talk you out of it!

[the_prodigal_son]

I was gonna get some beer anyway. It's no problem.

[Jack no.]

Do you wanna come with me to the store?

[now_i_know]

I would, the cold could probably help, but I really gotta be workin' on this. Sometimes it feels like my own eyeballs are fightin' against me.

But I'll get through it.

And don't worry, I'll cover the cost when I get a little bit of dough.

You've had three of those in how long?

[video]

[now_i_know]

Um... what time is it, again?

[That's a good sign, ne?]

voice;

[notacostume]

It's about [some time here to keep things simple].

Don't tell me you've lost track.

[now_i_know]

Naw, I just turned the clock away 'cuz the red light was starting to hurt my eyes.

"I Could give you some more natural energy if you want..." [he offered. He raised a hand and the the White Fire show itself around his hand. While he was at it, he might just heal all the mess that the energy drinks did to her....]

[video]

[now_i_know]

...what is that?!

[She's... concerned. Curious, but mostly concerned.]

Re: [video]

[gregorydeegan]

"White Fire. It's like healing energy, but it also raises energy levels."

[video]

[now_i_know]

So, sure, yeah. I should totally trust you and give me some of that weird glowing stuff and just assume it's supposed to do what you say, right?

Pass.

[He meant to reply re: the Cuban Missile Crisis. He really did. He is trying so hard to be a good future teacher, but...]

...Ok, I totally didn't catch what you said that drink was called.

[Video]

[now_i_know]

[She lifts up the empty can, which looks exactly like another one from another universe, all except the name.]

[Her eyes narrows and a smirk appears.]

Ballz.

What about it?

[Video]

[niepokonany]

[He bursts openly into giggles, because he is a grown-ass adult and sometimes, things are just funny.]

Oh my god... Okay, yeah, just... just checking!

[No, give him a second, he'll stop laughing any minute now.]

[Video]

[now_i_know]

[It's good fun! But... she's not that into teenage boy humor... but she'll wait it out a little longer.]

[A little...okay, that's good enough.]

...gonna be okay?
