enterpainment[ In the wee hours of the morning, Jamie's communicator switches on to the video feed, showing a very sleepy-looking teenager on the couch, poring over a book. (Yes, a book, that is correct.) He'd only intended to turn on the voice function, but there you go. ]
Apparently a lot of people are having trouble sleeping this... morning? I thought that I would get some reading done, but then I realised I don't actually read very often, so I had to grab the first book I could find. I'm sure it's very interesting, but the words just look all blurry to me... [ A pause, and Jamie tries to stifle a yawn. ] Still, only... twenty-something hours left, right? Perhaps we should all tell stories, or exchange some funny jokes. I would go first, but I've been told my knock-knock jokes aren't very funny.
[ You don't have to know Jamie well to be able to tell that the nightmares have shaken him-- it's pretty obvious from the look on his face, barely concealed with a wobbly smile. Seeing other people post on the Network hadn't helped, really. ] ... I would recommend coffee, though. Except-- only if you can actually make coffee, because when I tried, it turned out like sludge. But there's still caffeine in it somewhere, hopefully, and sludge is better than exhaustion!
[ ooc: backdated to about... 3am of the 26th? some early morning hour, anyway. ]

Date: 2011-07-27 06:09 am (UTC)Did you want any coffee in liquid form?
no subject
Date: 2011-07-27 06:20 am (UTC)Yes, please, liquid form would be nice. So long as there is a lot of sugar available, too. I think caffeine and sugar are enough to keep me awake for twenty more hours.

Date: 2011-07-27 06:57 am (UTC)Jamie follows! Well, he stops at the doorway because he figures that being sleep-deprived only makes him more dangerous in the kitchen. He pauses, a little hesitant, wondering if he should say anything. He hates being afraid of closing his eyes, but... but Alan should understand, right? Since...] ... I didn't think any nightmares could be as bad as-- as having a second tier mark. But...
[ He feels silly even saying it-- of course this is nowhere near as bad. It's just a curse. So he plasters his wobbly smile back on to his face. ] But it's only a day! I just need coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

Date: 2011-07-27 07:30 am (UTC)Well—I can help with the caffeine. But the curses do get pretty bad. Do you remember what they're about? Or is it just a feeling?
no subject
Date: 2011-07-27 08:02 am (UTC)[ Jamie frowns at Alan's question. He remembers every moment of his nightmares, actually, but... well. ] Bits and pieces. It's mostly dying or being maimed horribly, or having a third tier mark again... [ ... or being a magician part of a Circle, sacrificing people to demons for power. That whole thing. Jamie bites his tongue at that, though. ]
It wouldn't be so bad, maybe, if it only happened while I was deeply asleep. Even if I close my eyes for five seconds or so... [ He shivers. ]

Date: 2011-07-27 08:55 am (UTC)You were right—one day isn't that long. We'll have to find you something to focus on, that's all.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-29 10:10 am (UTC)[ Haha... ha... ] ... I could always try to focus on TV. Not that TV requires very much focus beyond staring at all the moving pictures.
[ Who needs education when you can watch TV? ]
