[Jaunt] Roughly about an hour or so before Naoki's post

...they were trying to eliminate the need for sleep. To find a way to keep working while they rested.

Only the method they found... didn't go the way they had expected.

[[a short pause]]

S3NT0's memory's been restored. He realized what was happening too late to stop it and tried to make a break for it. But didn't make it. That's why his memory was missing.

I dun think they would wanna do that either, though?? Like... T'me sounds kinda like... like they wanted ta jus... keep on doin' what they were workin' on at the time. So jus' not need ta sleep like. Ever. If it didn't make a separate person in y'r head, if it was you alla time...

Private: Lv 2

[triggerhappytraitor]

Yeah. Just the method they came up with didn't work out that way.

[[There's a small pause]]

I know technically Undead don't need to sleep. ...And I'm not sure if Galen needed to either. It's foolish, but I'm a little afraid to test it, so I never have.

Re: Private: Lv 2

[vrepit_no]

.......yeah, that would cut the joy. An' to be fair, sleep's awful nice. Big fan. Sleep an' I go way back. Jus' not so big frien's anymore, 'sall.

Do you sleep with Hoshiko and the others?

Because even before getting the DreamCatcher, when Garren was with me when I feel asleep, there weren't the nightmares. Not the bigger ones. Just the ones that faded when I woke up.

Re: Private: Lv 2

[vrepit_no]

No... They've got their own room. Sometimes, if the dreams're bad enough, Matt'n I'll go curl up with them. The dreamcatchers were a fuckin' godsend, if I believed in gods. Acshully gettin' a full night's sleep an' like. Wow!! Lookit that! 'M like some forma functionin' adult type thing!

Re: Private: Lv 2

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[He can't help but chuckle a bit at that]]

They really are, yeah.

Yours holding up with all this?

Re: Private: Lv 2

[vrepit_no]

Think so... Haven't really checked, 'xactly. An' when I sleep, he's 'wake, so I'm not really sure how that kinda... fits. Yeah. Tryin' not ta think 'bout it too much, really. But if Claudja an' Jewels can figger it out, 'm not opposed t' keepin' the proper thing, I think. Jus' for me. Course how to recharge might be a thing...

Re: Private: Lv 2

[triggerhappytraitor]

I'd rather work out something to help you sleep more easily. The route that they took with this... I don't think it's something that can be made to work how they wanted it to.

Re: Private: Lv 2

[vrepit_no]

Lessee what they c'n do wif it first. They're reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally good. An' Pidge is helpin' an' she an' Matt are the best crackers, like. Ever. Ever, ever. The best.

[Proud? Him? Loyal?? Really?]

But the dreamcatchers're great. Gotta empty mine when this is done, f'r sure, but only a couple get through each liminal space, so we're doin' pretty good, really.

Re: Private: Lv 2

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[sounds like him whenever he's talking about Kenzaki.]]

Yeah. Mostly when I don't realize it's filled up, for mine.

I've gotten a good stash of batteries ready, for when I get the armor unit ready for a test.

Re: Private: Lv 2

[vrepit_no]

...Wait, you mean y're puttin' dreams into batteries to feed your armor?

Re: Private: Lv 2

[triggerhappytraitor]

Need to drain the energy somewhere, right?

Not the Garren armor. The one I've been building.

Re: Private: Lv 2

[vrepit_no]

...You can put it in batteries, though? Dude. That's pretty awesome. Most people turn it inta spells, I think. Which. I mean. Also pretty cool. Wunner if you could power a lightcycle with it.

Re: Private: Lv 2

[triggerhappytraitor]

Don't have any spells to turn it into.

And I'm sure you could. I converted the hoverbike to have it be able to also run on electric and it's worked perfectly with it. Lightcycles are already electric based, so it shouldn't even need any heavy modifications.

Re: Private: Lv 2

[vrepit_no]

What. What. You converted the hoverbike to elec and you didn't tell me? Dude! Come on, that's awesome! Is there a way to add, like, solar to it too? Make it a hybrid? I mean, we couldn' necessarily get it sun-charged - shooom - in liminal, but onna jaunt?? Take it outside f'r an hour an' charge up those batt'ries real good? That would be like. The best. The best!

Re: Private: Lv 2

[triggerhappytraitor]

Solar integration should be easy enough. Just have to research more efficient panels, else it'll take far more than an hour. [[and neither of them are patient enough for that]]

If I told you every mod I worked out, I'd need to send you weekly status reports. [[Said in a light and joking tone]] Figured I'd show off next time Liminal had a good space for giving it a proper test.

Re: Private: Lv 2

[vrepit_no]

Psh! You say that like I wouldn't want weekly reports. Killin' me here, Tachibana. You better not forget!

Re: Private: Lv 2

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[and he can't help pause to laugh, softly and quietly, but genuinely.]]

I won't forget. Promise.
