[As darkness falls, a great shadow creeps across camp. It gathers on top of the mess hall into the form of a cloaked beast. All at once she casts back her hoot, eyes glowing with moonlight, her velvety wings spread wide against the black sky. She speaks in a booming . . . loudness. Like, wow. That's really, really loud.]

HEAR YE, ALL THOU STRANGE,

...

Right... Sleep. I'm all kinds of sleepy right about now!

[say_thee_neigh]

EXCELLENT. THY WEARINESS PLEASES US.

[nocturnemission]

Yep, that's me! All weariness all the time!

[say_thee_neigh]

YES, YES. WE HAVE STATED OUR SATISFACTION. GET THEE TO BED NOW, CHILD.

[nocturnemission]

Oh, I'm on it! But, uh... can I at least brush my teeth first? I hate waking up with them feeling all gross and fuzzy...

[say_thee_neigh]

. . . . HMM, YES, WE SUPPOSE THAT ORAL HYGIENE IS AN ACCEPTABLE DETOUR.

[nocturnemission]

Great! Ooh, but can I grab my late night snack before that? I hate waking up hungry in the middle of the night and having to slog all the way back to the mess hall...

[say_thee_neigh]

THAT SEEMS SOMEHOW INEFFICIENT, AFTER THY TEETH HAVE BEEN CLEANSED.

[nocturnemission]

It's okay. I'll have my snack first, then go brush my teeth.

[say_thee_neigh]

SOMEHOW, IT SEEMS TO US, THAT THOU MAYEST BE STALLING SOMEWHAT.

[nocturnemission]

What? No way! I just want to make sure I get a good, restful night's sleep.

[say_thee_neigh]

AND. . . ALL OF THIS IS NECESSARY?

[nocturnemission]

Yep. Totally necessary.

[say_thee_neigh]

THEN, WE SUPPOSE WE MUCH COMMEND THY DEDICATION TO THY REST. HOWEVER, THY METHODOLOGY STILL SEEMS SOMEWHAT INEFFICIENT.

[nocturnemission]

Well, how would you methodologize it, then?

[say_thee_neigh]

PERHAPS THOU MIGHT EAT A BIG MORE AT DINNER, PREEMPTING THE NEED FOR FURTHER SNACKING.
