Message 04. Vital Information for Your Everyday Life

[unrecovered]

[Wash is in full armor, helmet on. There's a reason for this; nobody needs to see that he hasn't really slept for about 72 hours. Those who have a bit more experience reading his body language can probably tell from the set of his shoulders and the incline of his helmet that he is Not Very Happy. Of course, then he opens his mouth and removes all doubt.]

This is just to let everyone know that there are no Nightmares in the Traverse Town hotel. Because they don't come inside. Ever. Anyone who says otherwise is paranoid. Or an idiot. Or both.

Probably both.

I could do without the misinformation.

[And the insomnia, but hell if he's admitting that.]

[sexyimpact]

Why does it even matter?

[unrecovered]

Because misinformation gets people killed.

...not in this instance, but still.

[sexyimpact]

I mean, what does it matter if those things can get in there or not? You have a gun, right?

[unrecovered]

Yeah. I do. I also have a basic need for sleep, and it's a lot easier to do that when you know you're not going to be attacked.

[sexyimpact]

Ah~ So that's why you're so grumpy?

The big soldier-woldier is afraid of a few Nightmares?

[unrecovered]

[GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.]

I'm not scared, I'm prepared.

[No, actually, he's paranoid, but he's not admitting that either.]

[sexyimpact]

Sure, you keep telling yourself that.

[unrecovered]

[He really should let this go. Unfortunately, he's never been good at that.]

I told you, I'm not scared. It's just hard to sleep when you're ready for a fight. That's all.

[sexyimpact]

Right, right.

[Yeah, no, Wash. She hangs around people who denial obvious things all the time. She doesn't believe you at all.]

Hmmmmmmmm~ Tell ya what... I bet I can help you out.

[unrecovered]

[She's patronizing him. It's worse than FILSS on a bad day.]

I don't need your help.

[sexyimpact]

You sure? I know how to get you sleeping like a baby, in seconds. ♥

[unrecovered]

[He's worked with enough extremely dangerous women to know that tone of voice.]

And now I really don't want your help.

[sexyimpact]

Ahhh, too bad.

Well, can't say I didn't offer.

[unrecovered]

Yeah, I wasn't planning on mentioning this ever again.

[sexyimpact]

The fact you can't sleep cause you're worried of what might go bump in the night?

Yeah, that might be a good idea.
