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...

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.

[the_prodigal_son]

A walk'll help you wake up. And... I don't know, I'd like the company. Even though I think if I buy beer you have to wait outside for me...

I-I don't mind the cost, though. Everything's real expensive these days but I've got plenty of money.

[now_i_know]

So I have to go withcha in the cold and then wait outside, with freezing arms and legs?

These things don't have circulation, you know.

[the_prodigal_son]

Oh. I.. didn't think of that.

I don't suppose my sweater would help.

[now_i_know]

Nope. I've been tryin', but every time I do the material gets caught into something and gets ripped.

[It's so embarrassing.]

[the_prodigal_son]

Mm... that wouldn't be good.

[His sweater's survived worse, somehow, but he figures that's more of a reason to be careful with it.]

Alright, I'll bring you your soda in a couple minutes - half an hour? Half an hour at the latest. Unless a security guard stops me again. Either way, I'll be back soon.

[[action for when he brings them? or handwave she got them?]]

[action!]

[Jack gets greeted by a metal finger pressed against his lips.]

You can come in but don't be too loud: my roommate is sleeping.

[She smiles and motions for him to come in.]
