[Day 234] [Voice|Open|Backdated to Pre-Morning Announcement]
[So it's just after four in the morning and a certain someone has been skipping sleep for a few days now, working on different projects. It's harder to get things to work when you don't have that much in materials to build with, but Richie keeps at it. Even if he can't build, he can at least design. It's not like the days of little distraction give him less time to come up with ideas for new inventions. He just finished drawing the schematics for a solar-powered motorbike.

He takes another sip of his coffee only to realize it's chilled and grimace at the cold. And then another idea hits him and it's awesome but he doesn't have anyone to tell just how awesome it is. So he makes a call, which he completely thinks is privated to Zatanna, but he's running on two hours of sleep in the last three days, so.]

Yo, Zee...what do you think about a solar powered motorbike with--get this. A self-regulating drink holder! It would be amazing right? It would go great with the helmet with the built-in voice-command wifi and satellite radio. I'd just need to design to add-in an sensor for controlling the temperatures between coffee, iced tea, and warm milk.

[His tone is a bit manic, but energetic. He's past the point of fatigue to the kind of crazed euphoria that is a sign of a bad crash to come.]

[...what?]

[No, really, what?]

[SHe picked up the phone and heard words. She was even sure they were English. But it all went in one ear and out the other. Mainly because it was four in the morning.]

[Sleepily, Zatanna pulled her communicator away from her ear long enough to stare at it blankly before quietly hanging up, and almost immediately faceplanted back into her pillow.]

[Richie is still babbling because he hasn't really noticed she hasn't answered. When he does finally realize no one is responding back he wonders what happened.]

Zee? Hey, Zee, did this work?

[So of course he calls her back.]

Sorry, Zee I think my communicator cut us off. Man, I don't know I think I may need to adjust my communicator again. Maybe the last time I calibrated it to test different frequencies I forgot to reset it. It's always something you forget.

	[Richie. Richie, please.] [No, really, please.] Do you have any idea what time it is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's...[He checks his watch before answering her.]...four-oh-nine and thirty-six, thirty-seven...thirty-eight seconds. Great time for thinking, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, Richie. No, it's not. Some of still need our beauty sleep, you know--come to think of it, when was the last time you slept? [Speaking of belated realizations, she sat up a little further in bed when it dawned on her that the boy was acting exactly like someone who was sleep deprived and hung up on way too much caffine than should be legal.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
