So When Sleep Just Won't Come

[ninehundredlives]

[Well, that sure did happen.

Logan is dead, and for once the rest of the students were all there to bear witness. After that, does anybody really want to lie alone in their dark bedrooms all night?

Of course not. That's why people are gathering in the dining hall. It's still dark, but the room is lit with a hastily-assembled host of candles, mostly forming a protective half-circle around the far corner of the room. There's also at least one garbage-can fire, courtesy of Sukuyo. Will that be enough to keep the shadows at bay? Only one way to find out...

There's pillows and blankets too, but try not to fall asleep out here. Keep an eye out for any neighbors who might be nodding off too. That would be against the rules, and there's been more than enough punishment for one night.]

[ ACK NO THANKS! ]

Nah, 'm fine. I've stayed up a lot longer than this.

[ it's a teenager thing. kinda weird. ]

...Well, if you feel like you can't make it, let me know. I've got a few things in place in the event that someone can't stay up the whole night, and I think it's at least better than the alternative.

[heymcfly]

Yeah? What do you got?

[ IS IT THE GIANT BEE? ] It's gotta be sugar, right?

...Actually, I do have coffee, but if you feel like you can't make it the whole night, you could sleep there. You'd even have a guard looking out for you.
