Not Getting Enough Sleep

[sentryslinger]

You know Miss Mundane, I hope you don't mind me makin' a suggestion, but you might be less tired if ya went to bed at a decent hour. You're up at all night, then you've got all kinds of work to do every day. Ain'tcha ever heard of "early to bed, early to rise"?

Well yeah, I know the rest of it goes "makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise," but that don't mean it can't apply to ladies like yourself, too. My point is that you oughtta be gettin' more rest than you are. That much is just common sense.

Wake up, now. Were you listening through that yawn?

I am healzzy and wealzzy and eef not wise, I am at least clever. And I never go to bed early.

[sentryslinger]

You aren't helpin' my case, Spy. Besides, she isn't a mercenary. Rest is just what the doctor ordered for someone her age.

[not_onyourside]

My apologies, I did not know zhat your mundane was een a convalescent home.

[sentryslinger]

I didn't mean that liter— aw, hell. Now she's in a tizzy over the implication she's sickly.

[not_onyourside]

Now look what you have done! Zhat was een poor taste my labouring friend.

[sentryslinger]

Isn't there anything better for you to be doin' than get me in trouble? Don't you have robots to sap?

I love you too Engie. <3

[not_onyourside]

Not really, non. I suppose I could be sharpening knives or practicing at zhe shooting range but -- zhis ees so much more fun!

[How you love that grin.]

Oh zhe robots will be fine. Besides, I would zhink your heart breaks a little everytime one of zhem falls apart eento little pieces. Each finely crafted nut and bolt rolling away to be lost forever een zhe dirt.

Really? Yer preachin' sleep at the mun? Talking all cute and cozy to 'em about their own health? What next? Gonna tuck them in?

Get some caffeine in their system, wide 'em up, and set 'em loose!

[sentryslinger]

Just tryin' to teach her some good habits.

Son, I've seen that horrible swill you call a drink. I don't think that's gonna help her health any.

[force_a_nature]

Good habits aren't gonna make her stronger though. Got to push through the pain and exhaustion, right?

It's not meant to help your health. It's meant to keep y'going!

Whatever. Keep coddlin' yer mun. See where it getcha.

[sentryslinger]

Better to have her alive than dead. I think I'd be in more trouble then.

[force_a_nature]

It won't kill her. Least not that fast.

[sentryslinger]

Luck favors the prepared, son. And I'm always prepared.

[skypsalms]

My mun has the same problem. It's...quite unfortunate, isn't it?

[sentryslinger]

Sure is. It's gonna be more unfortunate if she falls asleep right at her desk, though.

[skypsalms]

W, well hopefully she doesn't do that. Mine believes in "catching up on sleep" during her lectures....

[sentryslinger]

That's not so good, either. Education's important, you know. You should make sure your mundane is awake and listening, not dozing off!

[skypsalms]

I agree! B, but you see, my mun finds the material super easy s, so...it's hard for her to stay awake. Or so she claims.

[sentryslinger]

That doesn't mean she shouldn't pay attention. Easy or not, there's always somethin' to learn.

[notintehkitchen]

[Have a yawning Pyro. My, how convenient considering what you were just talking about.]

Maybe she doesn't have a good enough bed or pillow.

[sentryslinger]

You look like you might not be gettin' enough sleep yourself, Pyro. Something keepin' you up at nights?

[notintehkitchen]

You could say that. My mun has so much fun around here that she doesn't get much sleep most days.

[sentryslinger]

There's a time for work and play, but there's also a time for rest. Maybe you should get onto her for that.

[notintehkitchen]

I tell her similar things, but she's not one to listen to me.

At this rate, I'll have to sleep standing up.

[sentryslinger]

That's not good on your health, Pyro. A lady your age oughtta get all the rest she can.
