[When Ai comes on the PCD, she looks absolutely terrible. There are dark circles under her eyes, her skin has lost most of its color, and it looks like she hasn't eaten in a couple of days.]

Um...e-excuse me... I was just wondering...does... can anyone...

[This is the first post that has drawn Castiel's attention enough in this horrible event for him to bother replying.]

I have some. They are of no use to me. It is surprising anyone would want them at this time.

[And by 'have some' means he stole them from Rei, of course.]

[After a gasp and a shaky breath, she switches over to text.]

Thank you. Is it ok if I stop by your house to pick some up? I promise not to take up too much of your time.

That would be fine. [x,y]

[She nervously plays with her skirt.]

Y-yes...

[fanismighter]

But that place. It just feels awkward.

[soothing_flame]

It is kind of scary, but...um...

[eternally17]

Why would you want to take sleeping pills now?

[soothing_flame]

[Well, not really, but she doesn't want people thinking she's nuts.]

[eternally17]

[soothing_flame]

Well, it's just.... my family's there. They come and visit me in the asylum.
