bluedespitebeing[It had been a month. When Lisa had first started having the dreams, she simply brushed them off as a bad night. Then one bad night had become two, then four, until finally the nurse was running on very little sleep. Lisa had, of course, heard about this happening before--days being lost being followed by extremely vivid dreams--but her dehumanization wasn't something she wanted to bring up again. The nurse is working in the inn's kitchen at a time very few people should still be awake, absorbed in her thoughts, when Peony decides to have a little fun.
The feed opens up to...a leg. Those familiar with her first network post might think that perhaps Lisa's dropped her gear again until a soft, cheerful chirp is heard.]
Hap! Happiny, hap!
[It seems this little pokemon's seen others filming their trainers, and wanted to try her hand at it, too! Boy, does she sound proud of herself. With a tiny grunt, the camera's view moves up to a woman's face for the briefest of moments, and then swings alarmingly up to the ceiling accompanied by a panicked squeal.
Oh. Oh, right. Happiny are really round, aren't they?]
Are you okay? You just about gave me a heart attack...
[In a second, the gear and the pokemon are picked up. Lisa looks tired, as she often does these days, with purple-tinted pouches under her eyes.]
If only I had as much energy as you, Peony...
[She offers a weak smile before giving in to a yawn. Guess she'd better address those other night owls...]
So what do others do when they can't sleep?
[Lisa bends to set the Happiny down again, then straightens as she runs her free hand through her hair and sighs.]
Maybe I'll just...go eat some cereal.
[She had the strangest feeling that would make her feel better.]

[Her casual tone remains when she answers the question, though it's perhaps a little ... too casual. Because she's lying.]
Eh, you know how it is. Sheets get too hot, can't get comfortable... Figured I'd just give up and try again later.
[She straightens up with a tub of cream cheese in her hands and looks over her shoulder at Lisa.]
You?
[Action] look at this pretty icon, whoever made it should be praised.
Date: 2012-07-07 02:31 am (UTC)[No, Lisa doesn't believe Heather, but she's not up for digging for the truth just yet. She'll leave it at a simple glance to let Heather know that she's onto her.]
Me? Oh, I haven't had a good night's sleep in...a month. Perhaps it's just habit, by now.
[She hasn't technically tried to go to bed yet, tonight. The expectation of what was waiting for her had curbed her enthusiasm for Dreamland.]
[Action] alkghsdlgh YOU... ;-; <3
Date: 2012-07-07 10:16 pm (UTC)[She turns around with a bagel pinched in the corner of her mouth as she twists the package shut again.]
... Just general insomnia?
[It occurs to her that it could be related to the... withdrawal a little, but maybe it's not a good time to ask about that.]
