[forward this to about 3-4 in the morning.]

Hello
Is anyone awake?

Comments

[oncearanger]

I think so. It was mentioned in someone else's previous post, and I wanted a little for myself. I foresee a lot of late nights in my future.

But if you're not drinking coffee to stay up this late, are you just a night owl sort of person?

[theguideless]

I dont know what an owl is but I cant sleep
Why do you want to stay awake/?

[oncearanger]

Oh. Are you anticipating something? Anxious about it? I can't imagine the situation here is great for sleeping.

As for me, I stay up because the quiet of the night helps me think. I don't work late at night, that would disturb my roommate, but I sketch out ideas.

[theguideless]

I think my thinking to much is whats keeping me awake

[oncearanger]

I've definitely had those nights.

Do you think that if you exhaust all the possibilities you can that you'll get to sleep? Sometimes that helps me, sometimes it doesn't.

[theguideless]

I thinks o but Im not sure what I can do
I cant train anymore I dont have my weapon.

[oncearanger]

How did you lose it? Can you get it again? Maybe not tonight, but...soon?

Sometimes it helps me to build something in my head. If building's not something you do, imagining something to write might help. Or something to cook. A path to run along, imagine whatever you like to do.

[theguideless]

No it will never come back
I dont think I can do a lot if I turn lights on it could bother the others in here
How do you build in your head?

[oncearanger]

That's terrible luck. But the Initiative will issue you a new one, right? They can't let you go without a weapon.

Anyway, just try to picture it in your mind. I try to imagine things slotting into place. Axes, wheels, an engine, a frame, doors...

The more you work through something in your mind, the easier it is to do.

[theguideless]

They cant give me what iI had before but its alright I dont need it anymore

[a delay.]

I dont really understand some of that but I think I undrestand what you mean
Its hard for me to imagine some things coming together though

[oncearanger]

Okay. As long as you'll be all right with whatever you get.

Just give it a try. Sometimes you can think yourself into such an exhaustion that you finally get to sleep, but it takes a while. It works better for me than trying to clear all thought from my mind.

[theguideless]

Doesnt it make your heat hurt?

[oncearanger]

No, I'm used to it. I'm so used to it that I can't really slow down and stop thinking so much, though I wish I could.

[theguideless]

I think you are a better thinker than me BIlly

[oncearanger]

Then maybe clearing your mind works better for you?

But I can only imagine you've been trying that all night.

[theguideless]

Not really anymore
Ive been talking to lots of people on here now

[oncearanger]

Oh! Yeah, I imagine that would help.

So if you've talked it all out, can you try clearing your head? I'm probably the worst person to ask for tips about that, but maybe one of your friends knows.

[theguideless]

I think you have good ideas youve been helping to

[oncearanger]

I'm glad I could be of assistance.

You don't need me to tell you to try to get some sleep, but good luck anyway.

[theguideless]

I know iI will try thank you Billy
