{ 003 } ♔ TEXT

[articulations]

[ The message comes out late at night that Leia doesn't expect anyone to be awake to answer. She's pulling a Han right now; the man has a terrible habit of sending these late night texts out. Looks like she's learned from the best of the best.

There's a catch, however, and it's that Leia's locked this from any immediate family and friends*. She doesn't need the extra worry. Doesn't want anyone camping out on her front step. She might have missed someone, going through the directory this late, though. ]

I've spent the last hour trying to go back through what's available. I've also tried browsing what's online. It hasn't worked out so well.

What I'm looking for are remedies. Something that works in helping someone fall asleep and stay asleep without waking every two hours.

When I say remedies, I mean the kind that come in the form of personal experience. If you've had trouble keeping a sleep schedule, please, share what works for you?


( *out of the cast, this post is locked from Luke, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padmé, Hux, Finn, Kanan, Poe, Kylo, Lando. Anyone else in the cast directory wasn't locked out and receives the message/can reply/can pass it on. )

I haven't heard that sound in a...very long time. [ Not since her days on Alderaan. ]

Are those easier or harder to get?

[pocketfulof]

Then it might be something worth trying...

And those? They can be harder to get because most places require a prescription. But if nothing else works, you might not have trouble getting a doctor's note.

I'll look into it, thank you.

You seem to really know your stuff. I'm impressed.

[pocketfulof]

Any time.

...And it kind of comes with the territory. I was a medic back home. My name's Will, by the way.

[articulations]

I'm Leia.

[ She pauses. Who is she speaking with? A human? ]

What are you? If you don't mind me asking.

[pocketfulof]

What am--[He laughs. Fair question, he guesses. It's not like she's seen him.]

Demigod. Half-blood. Take your pick--I have one godly parent, one mortal.

[articulations]

Forgive me, if I offended you. [ Though it wasn't likely with the laugh he gave. She smiled. ]

I only asked because you mentioned you're involved with medicine. My experience with anyone of flesh and blood is limited, when it comes to physicians.

[pocketfulof]

Not offended at all. I mean, it's kind of a valid question around here, right? For the record: I definitely look human.

...What are physicians like where you're from?

[articulations]

You do.

They're mostly droids. There have been human physicians, but it's as I said: limited interactions.

[pocketfulof]

So like...robot doctors? How's their bedside manner?

[articulations]

We call them droids. And that depends on their programming.

[pocketfulof]

Droids. Right.

So if it's all up to the programming--not too much different from a human doctor, really. Cool...

[articulations]

I find human doctors prefer a more hands-on experience.

[pocketfulof]

Oh...yeah. Most of us have to be, no fancy scanners or anything like that. I mean, not unless you have the powers for that kind of thing anyway...
