[ lol ]

Sleep doesn't seem so bad now, does it...?

[ballies]

It's weird.

[ .... she sounds a little uncertain about the whole thing. ]

You really just... fall unconscious for hours, with no idea what's happening.

[inquired]

Yes - it's why in my travels, the group I move about with always sleeps in shifts. Someone stays awake to watch.

[ if they're not all crammed in an inn together or something. he gives her a pet on the head. soothe the lil lamb. ] You are the first person or creature I've ever met, I think, who didn't know of it. I can't say it will become any more familiar, over time, but it might assuage some of your worries should you not be alone when it strikes.

[ballies]

I'll try not to pass out in the street, at least.

[ frowns. ]

That's not normal, I know that. It's kinda embarrassing, actually.

[inquired]

Well, no, not typically. But there seems to be very little here that we can classify as 'normal', so I doubt anyone will really bat an eyelash beyond concern.

[ there there. ] Struggling with the learning curve a bit, are we?

[ballies]

A looot of people seemed kinda focused on it.

[ hence why she's embarrassed. at the next part she just makes a grumbling sound somewhere in his robes. me remembering she's still lying here with her face mashed in his stomach. ]

[inquired]

[ pets her hair soothingly like she's a little lamb. there there. ]

Mm. One might say they're worried about you. [ in this game full of heroes. protags. ] But, people are quick to forget, you know - you may just have to weather the pain of embarrassment for a day or two.

[ballies]

[ she falls asleep again immediately like a big, bdsm loving cat. honk shoo mimimimi. ]


[ no. ]

Someone will embarrass themselves more tomorrow, probably. [ POSITIVE THINKING. ]

[inquired]

[ brightly: ]

That's the spirit!

[ 100% agree ]

[ballies]

[ she lifts her fist like the world's most exhausted fist pump. woooooo. ]

Maybe a penguin will explode at them....

[inquired]

[ this gets a laugh out of him, though he reaches over to nudge her hand back down. ]

Hmm. You could always pull a prank, if you were the type. I certainly wouldn't tell a soul of your involvement.

[ballies]

[ it’s fine, jolyne set up truth or dare someone’s bound to have got wrecked. ]

I don’t think I’ve ever literally pranked someone before. Maybe I should add that to my life goals.

[inquired]

[ hehe ]

I think you should. [ sir you're a priest ] What are your life goals, beyond this new appreciation for a practical joke?

[ballies]

...

Good question.

[inquired]

Oh dear. A bit wayward, are we...?

[ petting her hair again. ]

[ballies]

[ oh ok he can keep doing that. she has so much hair. ]

Wayward's not really the word for it.

[inquired]

[ payback for the braids or maybe he's just a nice guy ]

If you say so. Lost? New?

[ballies]

Not something I had to consider much. Let's go with that.

[inquired]

...You really must have had quite the fascinating life up to this point, to be where you are.

[ but it's not like he can judge. ] The optimistic answer would be that it sounds you've a new path to try overall.

[ballies]

My life's pretty exciting, I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

[ pfff. ]

Yeah, hero apparently.

[inquired]

Oh...? Do you feel like you don't suit the moniker?

[ tell temenos your problems ]

[ballies]

It's not that. That's just meant to be our thing here, right?

[inquired]

Mm. It is. Though, being a hero is subjective, I think.

[ballies]

Oh, sure but it probably involves similar stuff, right…? They jump, we’re supposed to say ‘how high?’, or drag our heels but do it anyway.

[inquired]

With supposed worldly destruction held over our heads as a reminder, that does seem to be the case.

[ messy. ]

I suppose you can customize your path however you like it. It is yours to do whatever you want with, beyond what we're asked to do.
