eight ¬ video

[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. ]

I'll make sure to rent some movies when it's morning and the stores open.

Mae? I didn't wake you up, did I? [ He knows the dangers of doing so all too well!! ... but he also hopes she's not affected today. ] ... Oh, but movies would be nice. It will be a very educational and productive day, I'm sure. Watching the classics, stuffing ourselves with popcorn and candy.

No, I'm...having some nightmares myself. [Nightmares about mom.]

Play cards with me?

[enterpainment]

... Oh. Is there-- [ Jamie bites his lip, frowning. ] ... is there anything I can do? Other than play cards with you and let you pick the game, since I will inevitably choose Go Fish?

You know how it is - our nightmares are our own. Just please make sure not to let me near the coffee maker when I'm tired. I might accidentally tip it into the sink or something.

[enterpainment]

Yeah, I know. [ Like how the nightmares he's having-- about being a magician, about giving people to demons-- are not something he will talk about. ] It's okay, though, I think Alan is handling all the coffee-making. I think I'll just keep drinking cups of it until I get too jittery to sit still at all.

ominous nightmares jamie...

Then we both will be a ball of nerves and hope the secondary effect doesn't kick in and knock us out.

yes, because i am an awful person :|b

Luckily, I am relatively sure that we wouldn't stay knocked out for very long, if that did happen. [ Or, er, maybe that's unluckily. ]

terrible

You jinxed it.

hideous

[enterpainment]

Did not! That was very much not a jinx. It was an anti-jinx.
