I'm pretty good at staying awake... and we're neighbors, so, uh, I can try and help?

harry_b_dresden August 5 2011, 19:31:52 UTC

Hey Kano. [Harry nods] If you've got some way to help, I'd sure appreciate it.

Well, caffeine and sugar don't really work well because you crash and then you're worse. You kinda need something that'll burn through you slowly. Or to put yourself in some kind of state of stress so your body can't go into sleep mode.

We're an insomniac, so it usually just happens to us, but if you can induce that. Having someone around to keep you awake works, too. Like, someone assigned to do it.

harry_b_dresden August 6 2011, 00:42:19 UTC

You mean something like the knowledge that Val wants me to die, and die quietly, and I really really don't want to find out why she does?

Why do you refer to yourself in the plural?

[He smiles]

I have a few people coming over. If you'd like to stop by, that'd be nice.

What do I get out of it if I give you somethin' with caffeine in it?

harry_b_dresden August 5 2011, 19:30:00 UTC

[Harry rubs at his eyes]

I can trade you food for food, if you'd like, and I can also make things with magic... obviously after this week is done and I've gotten a little rest, so I'll do it right.

I can make locks, for doors, charms to help you keep track of the people you care about, and know when they're in pain, cold storage for food you bring back from F3s...

caligulasaqua August 5 2011, 19:31:40 UTC

I've already got a fridge, so I don't need any cold storage or whatever. And I can keep track of people myself.

What kinda food do you have? Anythin' interestin'?

harry_b_dresden August 5 2011, 19:33:44 UTC

Lots of dried beef jerky, canned vegetables, rice, flour, powdered milk, kool-aid powder, and some dried fruit.

[Harry blinks a few times before he manages a reply, visibly trying to steady himself]

Hei.. that sounds great, actually. I have food to trade, if you want some... I just don't feel like leaving myself at their mercy, not when it's clear they want me dead.

Five-D. If you want to stop by and play some Shogi, or cards, I've been trying that to stay awake.

I really appreciate this, Hei. If there's anything I can do to repay you for this, just ask.

[Usagi blinks, her red-rimmed eyes drooping. She's not sure about asking this, but she's desperate.]

Sorry, I don't have any coffee or soda or anything, but if someone else gives you some, can I share?

[video] harry_b_dresden August 5 2011, 19:44:12 UTC

[GENTLEMAN REFLEX GO]

I think Hei had some soda. If you'd like it, you're absolutely welcome to it, it looks as though you've been up far longer than me.

Would you like to play a game, or something, to try and stay awake? I have Shogi, if you know how to play that, it's sort of a Japanese version of chess that my friend taught me to play.

[video] mochi_hime August 6 2011, 00:21:11 UTC

[Beams drowsily at the gesture and bows several times.] Thank you so, so much!

That's great! I'm terrible at Shogi, but I know how to play it.

[video] harry_b_dresden August 6 2011, 00:41:10 UTC

Join the club. Shikamaru's got me hooked on the damn game, and I've yet to actually figure out how to do anything but fail miserably.

She ordered you not to sleep too, huh?

[He gets a look, pupils dilating at the 'not too bad', but nodding.]

Okay. I'll be here. The door's open.

harry_b_dresden August 6 2011, 00:23:00 UTC

[Harry comes in after a few minutes, stumbling just a little bit when a shock hits him coming through the doorway, but he walks over and pulls out the knife that he uses for carving wards]

M'sorry about this.

[He gives her a half-hearted cut on the arm, below her sleeve so as not to stain her clothing. It's not all that deep]

[After that's done, Harry sits back on the bed, looking fairly miserable]

I'm worried, Tsunade.

slug_sannin August 6 2011, 00:25:48 UTC

[That actually caught her off guard, not expecting to be cut, and there's a long second where she just sucks in a breath and holds it while not looking at her arm. Oh hell oh hell oh hell.

She gets herself back under control with a hard swallow, holding a hand over the cut to heal it without looking.]

What are you worried about?

harry_b_dresden August 6 2011, 00:39:10 UTC

The collar chokes me if I start to fall asleep, and it burns me if I try to eat solid food. Val's been giving me little, humiliating commands every hour or so for the last day, and none of them involve the network...

I think she wants me to die, and die quietly, and I don't think I want to find out why.
