[ he surges suddenly to cling tightly to Ananke again. ]

[ Turns toward him so he can wrap him in another crushing hug ]

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

[ is it time to cry again? Time to cry just a little, as a treat. ]

Lily's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

[ Rubs his back soothingly ]

... You deserved so much more sooner, but I'm glad we get to take care of you now.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

[ A shaky little nod. ]

Sorry for repaying you by - by dragging you into that.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

You can't control what you dream about.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

No, but I can -

[ Not sleep, he almost says. ]

... Lethe says he can make sure my sleep is dreamless. I figured I could ask him every other night.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Daisy recommended some tea that's supposed to help make your dreams calmer. I could make extra for you on the nights Lethe isn't helping out.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

I could try that. Yeah.

[ a pause. ]

I also don't need as much sleep as other people.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Really? Then how much do you need?

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

[ a faint shrug. ]

I can go every other night without sleeping if I want.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

And that doesn't have any, like, side effects?

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

... I mean, if we have enough going on, I'll fall asleep anyway. And not get to Lethe in time.

[ hence tonight. ]

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

That could happen to anyone who gets overworked, so I guess there's really nothing to worry about. Especially if it lets you get some real rest.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

[ He nods at that, leaning a bit more. ]

I just - I can't sleep without help. Or this is going to keep happening.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Mm. It sounds like you and Lethe have it under control, but I'm always here if it ever isn't enough.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

...

Do I just - find you and ask?

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Yeah. Or you can just cubecall me. Way easier than trying to figure out where I am.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

-- I keep forgetting we have something like cell phones here.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

It took me weeks to get used to it too. That and the flock powers.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

I - uh - yeah. That too. Glad it's not just me?

[ a pause. ]

There's so much overlap with my normal powers that I forget I can do illusions now.

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

I still don't use the illusions enough, and we can go through things too now... That one's gonna be even harder to remember.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

...

Wait, like - just walk through walls?

Re: night 77, dream time

[spinebuddyandme]

Oh, we might've gotten that just before you showed up...

Yeah, we can phase through pretty much anything, but once you stop using the power you can't use it again for fifteen minutes.

Re: night 77, dream time

[abandon_hope]

[ he slowly shakes his head. ]

Do we have a list somewhere?
