Sleepover before the storm

[attheclocktower]

Characters: [OU] Xion, Excalibur, and whoever comes
Setting: Floor 101
Format: Whatever floats your boat
Summary: It's the night before the infiltration. People are plotting, discussing, and Xion has brought a Dream Eater so those who want to try to get a good night's sleep have a marginally higher chance of doing so. So in short it's a Tower-flavored sleepover. Bring your own pillows.
Warnings: Nothing in the top level. Will try to edit if anything changes but if something comes up in one of your threads make sure to add a warning in the subject line

======================

[Standard mingle post procedure. Make your top levels. Tag around. Have fun. Or not, this is Animus after all.

Notes will have been passed out and quiet discussion gone around by word of mouth, just saying that several people were spending the night in the hidden floor. Anybody who spoke to Xion would have been told that she's trying to figure out a way everybody can get a good night's sleep. You'll need to supply your own blankets and pillows but... hey, at least if you have trouble sleeping, you'll have company?

Note that any characters who sleep on the Hidden Floor, if they normally suffer from nightmares will likely have notably lessened or absent nightmares (up to your discretion) owing to the Dream Eater that Xion has brought with.]

Ah? Last time, you weren't any trouble. We all messed up back there.

[notsogrimreaper]

I guess so… I just know I was supposed to stay safe and I didn’t manage even that.

[puppy_lancer]

Hey, don't sweat it. Almost all of us died by the end of that mission. You didn't do anything wrong.

[notsogrimreaper]

I suppose. We’ll just have to be more careful this time so we lower the death count… I don’t want to see anyone hurt.

[puppy_lancer]

[He reaches out to ruffle Ryoji's hair.]

We will. Now that we all know what not to do.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji doesn’t dodge out of the way of the hair ruffles, but it’s clear he’s a little embarrassed from his awkward chuckling.]

Just… be careful.

[puppy_lancer]

I will. I won't die easily.

[notsogrimreaper]

I know. But don’t be reckless because of that. I don’t want you seriously injured either.

[puppy_lancer]

[He nods.]

You know what? Why don't we both catch some rest now. I know you'll be quicker on your feet if you're well-rested in the morning.

[notsogrimreaper]

Yeah, you’re right. I’ll see you in the morning then… Good luck.

[Ryoji smiles softly then goes back to setting up, trying not to let the worry get to him. They’ll both be fine. He has to remain hopeful.]
