I'm going to sleep before something else totally insane happens in this city.

And to whoever dealt with that Barbas creep, thank you. I'll be much happier and seem a lot more grateful once I've gotten some rest, but really. Thank you.

	I can. Did. Have. However that should be worded. This place normally isn't that bad, either. Crazy, but not that particular brand of nuts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How do you sleep? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I lay down, close my eyes, and go to sleep? I mean, six months in this place, if I hadn't slept by now it wouldn't be pretty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah I know how to sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, you're the one that asked me how I did it. Aside from telling you how, and pointing out that it's something that's required no matter how nuts this place can get, I'm not sure what you want me to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... okay. This place is crazy. We've been kidnapped. How do you sleep with all that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_clairebear_x 2009-10-02 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	Because I have to sleep. Like I said, because I have to sleep. Yes, we've been kidnapped and yes, this place is crazy, but sleep is a necessity. Plus, if we ever do figure out a way out of here, what good am I going to be if I'm not well rested? And, it's hard to do my job and go to school if I don't get at least a few hours a night.

	Okay, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'll get used to it. You may not like it, and I don't know if you'll ever settle in like I finally did, but it stops being quite so weird after a little while. Desensitization, I think it's called? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Still doesn't sound reassuring, but I guess I'll have to sleep sometime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_clairebear_x 2009-10-02 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	If I was being reassuring, I'd be lying and ~~my dad does enough of that for the both of us~~ I try not to do that if I can help it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notthatnormal 2009-10-02 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	I like not lying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_clairebear_x 2009-10-02 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	Me too. And it helps that I'm really bad at it. I mean... really bad at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notthatnormal 2009-10-02 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	I'll join you on that. My mom's ~~had too many years of practise~~ too wise to know when I'm lying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	x_clairebear_x 2009-10-02 06:36 pm UTC (link)
	My dad ~~is an expert so~~ is the same way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notthatnormal 2009-10-02 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	You wanna swap stories? ~~Or something... is that even good?~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay.

My dad worked for a secret organization that specialized in trying to minimize the threat caused by the more dangerous types of evolved humans ~~more or less~~. Part of the deal was that me, my mom, and my brother couldn't know what he did - it was the only way to keep us safe - so I grew up thinking he just worked at a paper company in middle management.

Truth is, there are times that I think he's lied so much he's forgotten how to tell the truth about most things. He's a good guy, but he's done things that aren't, and he's always been determined to keep us as sheltered from that as possible.

But, I love him, and I know he loves me. I just... suck at lying and he's always busted me every time I've ever tried. So I just gave up after a while. Not to mention, some part of me wants a life that isn't shrouded in lies and secrecy and the only way to get that is to be honest with people. Or, at least, as much as I can be. I mean, everyone does have their secrets. They just shouldn't have to lie, manipulate, and ~~at times kill~~ do things like that to keep them.

Your turn.

	Woah... you know I think you just broke my PDA. Uh... my mom runs a Sanctuary for abnormals. We round up the dangerous ones so that they can't harm anyone and research the types of abnormalities. Some come for their own safety. Uh she's really old so she's got far too much practise at people lying. And she knows me far too well. (Reply to this) (Parent)
