Sleepover before the storm

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.]

*...That would explain it. He assumes if she knows about the poisonous plants, though, she'd have to be very sure of herself to be offering this to others.*

So you know your herbs very well, then. Is it a family trade?

I had a lifetime to practice, and the Grail augments my knowledge with more modern practices as well, though I would say it is more Grail than me. Some of the herbs I have seen in the floor were not so common in my day and others hadn't been heard of at all.

A trade? Ah... it is something my parents insisted I learn so that if anything were to happen, I would at least have that skill I can trade. I studied under a druid for some years.

[She pauses, blushing slightly.]

Medicine is always needed. I also know how to spin and weave, but those things are not nearly as useful in a pinch.

*He nods at that. Making cloth wasn't something to be discounted, of course, but in a small community the need for it would soon be met.*

Your parents were wise to suggest it. And... *A small yawn. It was probably the conversation taking his mind off things rather than the herbs kicking in, but it was working nonetheless.* ...it's appreciated.

It's the least I can do. I should go now and let you rest.
