Who: Koushirou and you~
Broadcast: Text [Fleetwide]
Action: Marsiva living area
When: October 30th, midday

[There has been way too much togetherness lately and Koushirou has been doing his best to stay apart from said togetherness, spending most of his time lurking in some corner observing things around him or, more often, reading the available books. That's where he is now, in one of the reading nooks of the living areas, while he sends a message out to the network.]

I presume no one has received any indication of how long we will be here before returning to our ships, if we do so at all?

[He's kind of regretting wanting to get back onto the Marsiva in the first place, even if that had nothing to do with what actually happened. This is so not fun, and it isn't even a good opportunity to investigate anything. He's checked out all the available areas so many times by now, and he's actually getting really bored on top of being tired of being around so many people.]

I was also curious as to whether there is anyone who has remained awake after the countdown has finished.

[Someone here has been lucky enough not to be involved in any of the calibrations yet, and so the whole everyone falling asleep thing is the most interesting puzzle he can try to work on right now.]

[Dave he totally only understood part of that.]

You don't naturally sleep?

[feathery]

[At least he knows the fault lies with him and not the poor people he subjects to his ridiculous tangents.]

not anymore
i can log off for the night if im feeling it but thats pretty rare
especially in circumstances more suspicious than the average suspicious circumstance
like
while id reluctantly tolerate them tucking me in at night the business of changing my clothes while i sleep is taking the creep factor a step too far

[techknowlogical]

What do you mean by logging off for the night?

That is somewhat unsettling, yes.

[This whole thing in general is kind of creepy on some level, even if creepy is too strong a word for him to actually use.]

[feathery]

i mean i kick whatevers left of my brain into submission and tell the sprite bits to fuck off until i get some shut eye
usually doesnt last for too long

[techknowlogical]

[Okay, most of that makes enough sense, but...]

Sprite bits?

[He'll just keep asking questions until he's stopped.]

[feathery]

[Don't do it, bro, don't let Davesprite tell you about Homestuck.]

taken out of context it sounds like youre asking me about something way more questionable than it is but im a pass on giving you shit because i dont even know your name
but yeah its video game shit
turns out sleeping isnt really important when youve got a few lines of code to compensate

this is so old I'm sorry! Feel free to ignore <3

[techknowlogical]

It's appreciated.

[He can take teasing but he's always glad when the opportunity is passed over. Though that comment about his name reminds him that he's really lacking on his manners.]

My name is Koushirou.

[But enough of that, back to the interesting stuff.]

You can compensate for lack of sleep with code?
