Fourth Shot [BBS Video]

[tiamat_shot]

[Looks like someone's finally worked up the courage to actually use the video option on the BBS; though to be fair he looks like he hasn't slept in several days, sunken bloodshot eyes making it look more like he's gone a little unhinged.]

So, I don't know if any of you have been reading the papers, kupo?

[He holds up a clipping from the Esthar Memorial, bearing the headline of "ESTHAR SCIENTISTS DISCOVER NEW MONSTERS, TIME COMPRESSION TO BLAME?" and accompanied with a picture of a... fluffy bunny-looking thing.]

It looks like the Time Compression isn't just pulling in sentient species any more, kupo.

In...uh... completely unrelated news, kupo, does anyone have any tips for... uhm... someone who's been up at least seventy-two studying but doesn't want to end up with hideous traumatizing nightmares when they finally crash?

Alternately, am I allowed to rig my dorm with explosive traps, kupo? The thought that those things followed me here...

Okay, I've had some pretty crazy study nights, but never one that long.

...Just try to make yourself as comfortable as possible, I guess.

Out of curiosity, though, why are you so afraid of this type of monster?

I've been researching the Compression and the things that led up to the battle a few weeks ago, plus I've still had to be around for classes and the like

sleep isn't exactly a huge priority with all that

and I don't know what you're talkgin about, I'm not afraid of mooglebanes at all honest

[He's also typing a bit sloppier than he would when he was well-rested.]

[marearcana]

Well, if something is called the bane of something else and you happen to be the something else wouldn't it be reasonable to be afraid of it?

Still, and this might sound odd depending on how well you know me, research is not a reason to neglect your health.

[thatched]

The hell is that thing?

At any rate, here is the safest place you can be, lad. There are plenty of people to protect you so you can rest easy.

How are you studying the time compression?

It's called a mooglebane where i come from. They eat our poms

since you aren't a moogle, try to imagine something like that pulling out your eye and eating it instead, that's a pretty good comparison of what I'm talking about

and mostly I'm researching magical theory here, as well as records of whathave happened due to compression in the past and present - looking for patterns right now, predictable effects. once you start figuring out the rules of a thing you can learn how it works

[thatched]

I see. Well if I see one I'll be certain to take care of it.

As for the other, I'd like to study with you if I may. I've never broached magical theory before but time compression is something I've rapidly become interested in.

Spare a thought for everyone else who might not be getting enough sleep and keep them to your own bed.

Or be rational. Dreams are just dreams.

[tiamat_shot]

And horrible pom-eating monstrosities are just actually in this world now.

did you ever get that thing you were going to send my way?

[rewritethis]

[Ugh, how does everyone seem to know his ID number? It can't possibly be because he's consistently kind of a jerk from it, right?]

And if they can get to you from all the way over there, I'll stand corrected. There's enough things in the world that can kill you, what's one extra?

I didn't bring it over already? Sorry, had a few things going on. But you don't look like you need any more work right now.

[om_nom_namur]

I can knock you out so you dont dream at all

[espio]

Sounds like an ideal solution to me.

[om_nom_namur]

People just dont appreshiate my genius. Its sad really
