Try everything?

[goestoextremes]

[OOC: backdated to a few days after the beginning of Lotus Liminal while Jean is still sleeping but just before his dreamspace happens.]


So, anyone know why someone just keeps on sleeping like he might just --- sleep through the whole Liminal time if this continues? Or any ideas how to wake him up? Besides waiting, I'm doing plenty of waiting already and sure, it's most likely waiting for something to happen but... Oh, I guess also ideas of what to do while I'm waiting.

[Not that she's keeping an eye on him 24/7, no she can come up with things to do on her own! ...But guess who is bored of waiting even when she's not that impatient these days?? So, what's this? Pretend like she doesn't already know that it's about waiting and have fun with the entertaining ideas? Something like that, maybe.]

I think my envy of Jean's sleeping skills is gone by now and no, he hasn't even been anywhere near the marshmallows and he's nowhere near them now either.

Can the network tap into dreams? At least at home, something is usually going on in the Dreaming if they won't wake up.

[goestoextremes]

...I don't know, this would be my first time seeing it happen. Back home this would be uh, someone going to the Spirit World or their soul getting trapped in there forever, so at least your home version of this sounds a lot better.

[This isn't her home! She isn't freaking out about this at all... Maybe a little when she has that version of someone not waking up back where she is from but uh, dreaming? That could be a very likely option here.]

[acapriciousthing]

That sounds a lot like "problem in the Dreaming". And the Arcana aren't so different...

[runs]

I could look!

[goestoextremes]

Really? ...How? [Curious, not suspicious.]

[goestoextremes]

True, I guess I wouldn't be too surprised if it's something like that... At least it's not a dungeon even if it could be something similar. [Not that she wouldn't go to rescue him from a dungeon too.]

[highsteaks]

Draw on his face.

[goestoextremes]

Hahah, I should... with anything that doesn't tickle him or else I'll have something like a zoo here.

[highsteaks]

I could lend you some marker.

[goestoextremes]

Thanks, that would be great.

[finalizes]

Have you tried cold water, ice or snow?

[goestoextremes]

Yes to all three until my polar bear dog got excited about the possibilities of me building a snowman here.

[finalizes]

Strong scents?

Violence? [Look, he happens to know people who would always go for that one first.]

[goestoextremes]

Nope, they don't work.

... What? No, no I'm not going to try violence even if he might be used to that way back where he's from.

[dontbetoncurry]

Tried sticking his hand in a glass of warm water yet?

[goestoextremes]

[ ... why this. ]

I wouldn't need a glass to do that but more importantly, that or other similar body reactions are not getting to the list of things I'll try in this case.

[dontbetoncurry]

Eh, sounds like you tried all the normal stuff. Yelling, shaking, yelling and shaking. Figured the weird stuff was what you were looking for and I sure know I can't sleep like that.

Guess you could try brewing a big pot of coffee nearby too.

[goestoextremes]

I've tried all the normal stuff, yeah, those being some of them. Weird stuff is good, but I think I'll stay away from bathroom tests but thanks anyway. Not that I could sleep like that either...

I tried coffee but that didn't work though he actually likes coffee... Maybe I should try with some drink that he doesn't like.

[biiowiired]

Well, good news is he's probably not gonna die. I had a good nap myself after all that crap, but now I've been awake and happy to report no new visions of future death. [[ His words are casual, much like giving a weather report. ]]

Maybe someone poisoned him? Can you think of anyone who would want to plunge your friend into eternal slumber?

[goestoextremes]

He's not going to die, he is in company of a healer who learned things from the best healer in her home world. It's more like a coma or something, not dying, not that people can't die from those but ... He is just sleeping. A lot. And more reasons why I am glad, that I wasn't in Harrogate -- which sounds more like Harrohell -- check, or if I hadn't had visions there, that would have been ironic with how much I've had them back home about things. [ in other words, that was one hell of a weather report! ]

No, pretty sure I would have noticed poisoning and besides I could cure it... And can't think of anyone else than maybe himself who'd want to do that? [Sure, Eren could punch him sometimes but he wouldn't want Jean to sleep forever and the last thing she knows about them meeting, it was total opposites of punching or even being angry.]

[biiowiired]

Harrohell is right. I had a.... I saw myself die. And then I did.

[[ ANYWAY-- ]]

He's riddled with crippling self-hate, huh? That's rough. Well, when he wakes up you can interrogate him about possible self-poisoning. In the meantime, I'd set up a watch in case someone was trying to finish him off.

[[ Not paranoid, not at all.... ]]

[senpaidol]

Well, if nothing else works, you could try kissing him?

[goestoextremes]

[that one gets a laugh.]

He's had me kissing him but also polar bear dog and dragons kissing him, do you think I should make someone or something else try too?

[senpaidol]

No, I think at that point we've pretty much eliminated that possibility. Least you got to try, right?

That could be a real problem, actually. I could try to take a look at what's going on in his head psychically, but I'm not sure how much that would tell us.

[goestoextremes]

It was worth a shot, animals helping to try that too was accidental but I should have seen those coming too...

It could, it's getting kind of worrying. [obviously or else she wouldn't be posting to the network!] If you still want to take that look into his head, that would be much appreciated.
