BBS post

[Opens to a video post with a young man who looks like he hasn't slept well in a few days. This is mostly because he hasn't. Of course instead of bothering Grell and Marco and Thatch he decided to try and figure out on his own first. He hates the fact he's resorting to the BBS system, but in reality he is just at his limits with how much he can take.]

Hey Garden!

Does anyone have a clue what I can do to get some sleep? I don't feel like sleep spells are cutting it and I can't afford to fall asleep at even more random intervals then I already do. Some help with this would be wonderful.

Thanks, Ace.

I dunno. Music, maybe? Some people sleep better with noise.

[mera_mera_ace]

It's more about what happens once I fall asleep that's the problem. I need something that will knock me out and my subconscious as well.

[espio]

Oh. Bad dreams?

I don't think I can help you there.

[mera_mera_ace]

More or less. Do you know anyone who could maybe?

[espio]

The doctor?

[mera_mera_ace]

Uh...no doctors if at all possible.

[espio]

Why not?

[mera_mera_ace]

Because I don't really like doctors.

[espio]

That's dumb. Doctors are there to help you. And it's not like you have to pay them yourself. All you have to do is ask for a little advice.

[mera_mera_ace]

True. But what if they wanna run like...tests and stuff? I mean I know why I can't sleep I just cant do anything about it.

[espio]

If you don't wanna be tested, then say no if they suggest it. But there could be an underlying cause behind the bad dreams that they might be able to talk about and offer solutions to - ask. For all you know it could be as simple as eating wrong.

[mera_mera_ace]

I'll think about it. Thanks for your advice, who ever you are.

[espio]

It's Espio, you moron.

[mera_mera_ace]

Hey, don't call me a moron! I don't know everyone here for all I know you could have been some random dude down the hall. Next time just sign your name dummy!

[espio]

Shut it, I'll sign when I feel like it!

[mera_mera_ace]

Then don't get pissy when people don't realize it's you, you damn pink tadpole.

[espio]

You know how to read numbers, right? Might wanna take note of what numbers are most important. And hey, do I look amphibian to you?

[mera_mera_ace]

Yeah, as a matter of fact you do. And beings as this is the first time I've ever seen your ID number, how the hell am I supposed to know it's you unless you say something?

[espio]

I've heard I have a very distinctive attitude. And I'm not talking to you like just some stranger.

[mera_mera_ace]

Doesn't change the fact that you never identified yourself and then you got all angry when I didn't realize it was you. [Really doesn't wanna admit that he's so tired he couldn't possibly realize it was Espio.]

[espio]

You've never seen me angry.

[mera_mera_ace]

Yeah, every time I see you you're moping. [Low blow? Possibly]

[espio]

[And that's why Espio doesn't reply.]

Shifts to action

[mera_mera_ace]

Oh for heavens sake. [Gets up and heads to Espio's room, knocking on the door once before trying the handle]

action

[espio]

[Oh for - that's Ace, isn't it? Isn't it?]

Go away.
