{ 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 can help people with my seidr, but that's sort of a night-by-night thing. and like as much as i love sleepovers it would get a little tiring to be putting like 20 people to sleep a night?

are you waking up from nightmares?

Your what? Is that an ability you gained from coming through the Porter? Also, I can imagine, yes.

[ She should be honest. He was kind enough to put the connection to a more secured one. ]

Yes. Also, general restlessness.

no.
i'm a demigod. it means i can do neat magic party tricks like help insomniacs sleep and get dumbshit prophecies dropped in my lap.

i can help with those things.

[articulations]

The first part sounds helpful. The second part, not so much.

I would appreciate any help I can get. As long as I can get one night of decent sleep.

Do you hate it? Being a demigod.

[fehus]

ok. i can stop by, if you want.

i think everybody's got their shit. and that everybody's born into some kinda mess. that's just how living is.

[ How does she say this without it seeming like it's....YOU KNOW.... ]

A friend [ Yeah, he's a friend; that's a safe word for Han, right? ] is coming down shortly. Otherwise I would take you up on this offer immediately.

Perhaps the next time, if you're not doing anything important at two in the morning?

[fehus]

sure. hit me up whenever. i'm glad your friend is there for you.

you can pick your own bedtime with my stuff. which is a polite way of saying, please try to contact me before its 2 am outside an emergency? i love sleeping, unlike everybody else i guess.

[articulations]

As am I. Though for how long, it's hard to say.

[ Leia laughs at that polite comment. She's all too aware of how late it is and that many were either asleep or...not. With the amount of responses she's received, looks like not a lot of people sleep in this place. ]

I'll be sure to be in touch with you before 2, don't worry.

Do you have a name?

[fehus]

oh right. magnus chase. what about you? assuming "very sleepy woman" is not your go-to nickname.

[articulations]

"Very sleepy woman" could work as a means of deception. But really, my name is Leia.

It's nice to meet you, Magnus.

[fehus]

you too. given the very sleepy circumstances.

when'd you get Ported in?

[articulations]

I believe the calendar said October? Or possibly September. It was one of those months.

I haven't been here as long as some. What about you?

[fehus]

late august i guess. about the same.

it's wild that some people have been here years.

[articulations]

It's unbelievable.

And then there are the stories where people will return home only to end up back here some time later, again.
