[ The video feed comes on early, just after the morning greeting. Aidan is definitely looking worse for wear, perpetually stifling a yawn and doing what he can to drown himself in the first pot of coffee of the day. It's been a few rough nights since Euphie moved in and not for the reasons one may suspect. ~~Or maybe exactly for the reasons one may suspect~~. ]

So, uhm... [ Clearing his throat. ] Anyone got any advice for stayin' awake when coffee don't cut it no more? I've tried cold showers, but uhm... I got a feelin' I'll give m'self a cold if I keep that up.

Anythin' would be helpful. Please.

	Caffeine is good too. Drink a lot of it, and you have to pee all the time. Harder to fall asleep that way. If you have peppermint, you can sniff at it every so often. It helps.

	That part I'm pretty much an expert on. [ So much coffee. Too much, probably. Strong enough to melt tar, too. ] Didn't know 'bout peppermint tho... gotta try that. You sure seem t' know what you're talkin' about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He shrugs.] I don't sleep much. [The purple bruises under his eyes are evidence enough of that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah? How come? I mean, I know it ain't none of my business since I don't know you, but... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-05 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	I ... just don't. And it is none of your business. Why aren't you sleeping? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Never said I don't sleep! Just... that I need some help stayin' awake! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-05 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	If you need help staying awake, then it means you're not getting enough sleep, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Doesn't have to mean that. [ Huff. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-06 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Okay. So what else is it, if not lack of sleep? [Exasperated sigh.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Look, sometimes a guy is just havin' a real hard time wakin' up for no reason! That's all there is to it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-06 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Sure. No reason. Fine, whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-06 01:15 am UTC (link)
	Sorry. What's your name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-06 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Whatever. Nico. Who're you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-06 12:07 pm UTC (link)
	Aidan. Aidan Reilly. You're new 'round here, aren't you? I don't think I've seen you 'round before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-06 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Got here a few days ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-06 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	For what it's worth, it gets easier. [ Yeah Aidan, you are a shining example of just that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-06 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	I don't care. I don't want to be here long enough for it to get easier. [He's been trying very hard not to think about it. He's been trying to keep himself busy and focused on anything but being underwater, in a dome he can't just shadowtravel out of.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-06 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... that's what everyone says in the beginning. Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-06 05:23 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not everyone. I've gotten out of worse places than this. [Except no. He'd been rescued. And no one was coming for him this time because they had more important things to do.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-06 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	I've heard that more times than I can count too. [ Okay, let's not be mean here. ] Word of advice... there ain't no harm in bein' comfortable while you wait. Alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-06 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	But there is harm in that. Being comfortable leads to being complacent. Before long, you stop fighting, or wanting to fight. And that's not alright! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-07 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	[ Heard that one before too. Roughly every four days, actually. ] So... what are you plannin' to do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-07 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	Get out. [Obviously.] As soon as I figure out how. [Also obviously.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-07 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	That's th' problem, ain't it? Figuring out how. [ Hmn. ] Have you talked to th' Defense Force at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-03-07 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	I talked to a guy who said he was part of it. They're like protector or something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
