{ 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. )

Is "Indica" a term for it that you're familiar with? And if you gave me any, honestly, I wouldn't know what to do with it.

[doubleblind]

Yeah. That's the type you'll want to help with your insomnia. And I usually smoke it, but when my lungs were giving out on me I mostly switched to edibles. Which I'm going to take a guess you haven't heard of?

[articulations]

[ She rubs her brow. ]

So you can either smoke it or eat it? You're right, I haven't heard of that. This is all very new.

[doubleblind]

Pretty much. I wouldn't eat it like, by itself. Bake it into something. Brownies are the most popular. I'm a terrible baker so unless I can convince someone to make them for me, that's usually out.

[articulations]

I've never baked. Can it be bought already done by someone else? I've had the one experience with smoking it. I might prefer just having it baked into something.

[doubleblind]

Yeah, you can buy it already baked. Or make some friends with people who bake, that works too.

[articulations]

I think I prefer the idea of buying baked goods over making friends who bake. Where can it be bought?

[doubleblind]

Awww, what's wrong with making new friends?

[articulations]

I don't have very many true friends. Back home.

[doubleblind]

Yeah, I know that feeling. I've got a lot of acquaintances and people I work with and stuff... Real friends are always harder to find. Doesn't mean you should stop looking for them.

[articulations]

In my position, everyone wants to be your friend. That's not friendship, that's political gain. But they do say keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

[doubleblind]

That sucks. At least, I only had to deal with people who just wanted to copy my lab reports...

I have zero interest in politics. Promise.

[articulations]

Your lab reports? Is that for the work you do here?

That's reassuring.

[doubleblind]

That was mostly back home where I was a student. Here I just have notebooks and notebooks of data.

And true. I like to stick to science.

[articulations]

That can't be such a bad thing. Data can be useful in most situations.

I don't have many friends who deal with science.

[doubleblind]

Oh, don't get me wrong. I love data! But most people aren't too interested in copying it...

Yeah? That's really a shame.

[articulations]

If there's a lot and they don't have the proper means to copy it all down, I can understand why there would be of little interest.

What friends I do have, I've made through the war.

[doubleblind]

I've made summaries. They're a little easier for people to digest.

Because that's all you've known? War?

[articulations]

Easier comprehension. You don't get so lost in a wall of notes that blur into one.

To some degree, yes.
