EB shrugged at Kage. "Slept ok, I guess. You snored pretty bad, though."

[GodSentinelOmega]

Kage simply raised both eyebrows at EB.

 

"I do?

 

Whether i dream or not, i tend to sleep very heavily. So i guess snoring is unavoidable. Eh. Chalk it up to another reason i tend to sleep by myself."

 

Whether EB (or anybody else in the room) so the ghost of a smirk on Kages face, to go along with this absurd statement, was a mystery.

Even if this is a dream he will need to take care of this body. And if this isn't a dream he will definitely need to take care of this body.

 

Groan.

 

Time to face the inevitable. But it doesn't have to be too quick. Using only his forelimbs he drags his otherwise still relaxing body to the edge of the bed*. He slides off the bed and crumples to the floor.

 

"Sweet Celestia."

 

The experiment's results are conclusive. He's awake and gravity still works.

*I don't know all the sleeping arrangements but you know there's no way he didn't hog a bed.

Dee heard a heavy clunk. Looking over, she saw that Night Cap had fallen out of the bed. Propping herself up, she could feel that her arms had mostly healed. She also saw Friday kneeling over Night Cap. *sigh*"Good morning. I'd pick him up...but I can't."

"Perhaps Not as of yet my Lady..." Destron replies as she gathers the gallant warrior up into her arms and returns him to the bed. 

 

"That you would wish too is reason enough for us to explore the reaches of both magic and science, a solution rests down either path - or perhaps one that meanders between both." Dee continues as she tucks her little friend back in, making sure to turn him away from the window. 

 

"Are you on Pawny Patrol this night Lady Freya, or are you of need of either of us presently." Dee asks, blushing slightly as she realized she likely should have asked that, before putting Night Cap back under the covers.

Friday sat on the bed. "With so many keeping an eye on Kage I figured I should be here. It's just that I'm...

I'm scared.

What if we can't save Patch? What horrors will Moscareina have in store? And just what does YPNR have planned? It's a lot going through my head and I can't really ask Oracle for help, seeing that no emotions means no fear."

[Destron D-69]

Dee sat beside her friend, the longing to be able to hold her hand, stroke her hair... offer some form of comforting embrace was so strong - and obviously the need of it was plain as day on Friday's part.

 

"I often forget that she is that different from either of us." Dee pauses to look down at her arms.  "The fear of failure can be a powerful motivation, or it can crush you with it's weight so that one may not even try." Turning back to Friday she smiles. "If the Goddesses know the future, they keep it to themselves... and perhaps that is for the best. If we knew what was to come, we- like Oracle, would be fearless... unmotivated. I wouldn't want that."

 

Dee holds out her arms, "I know you are a 'spirit' and this won't work, but come here and let me give you a hug before I start crying about how unfair it is that I can't give you a hug." Dee doesn't know how to articulate her thoughts on it, but if Friday can 'sit' on the bed she should be able to sit anywhere... so she pats her thighs and returns her arms to their out-stretched 'waiting to hug' position.

Dee felt...something. There was some sort of aura briefly when Friday returned the hug. "Thanks. And I wouldn't call Oracle unmotivated. She's been scanning for any possible news...she just hasn't found anything. Maybe I'm just still not used to having emotions and needed someone to talk to. Well, guess we should see if the others are up so you can have breakfast and we can get on the road."

[Destron D-69]

"Could you feel that just now?" Dee asks, having indeed felt the moment of contact... if anything, voicing that the sensation happened would be at least something to base future attempts on.  It wasn't entirely dissimilar to her memories of what being connected to Cher felt like... only entirely opposite in a way -She would have to think on it, and perhaps consult the goddess herself as well.

 

"Come with me to check on breakfast, that is indeed a lovely idea. Though... we should leave Night Cap to sleep a little more, so that he at least might rest until the smell of food wakes him." 

[Zamuel]

"Yes. It's similar to interacting with Patch. Shall we be check the cafeteria or somewhere else?"

 
As Kage leaned against suddenly the door flew open to reveal Roock and Beanuu. Roock triumphantly proclaimed "I'm ready to take on Why Piano Are!" Beanuu nudged him and commented "I uh...don't think that's quite right."

[Fnu Aw]

And just like that he's back under the covers.

 

Night Cap cannot BELIEVE how well this morning is working out so far.

[GodSentinelOmega]

Jerking back and bouncing his head of the wall, Kage tried to figure out what Roock had been trying to say. Rubbing the back of his head, Kage said.

 

"why piano are? Whst the...?

 

Ooh. You mean Y P N R, right?"

[Zamuel]

"Yeah, that's what I said."

[GodSentinelOmega]

Kage opened his mouth in surprise, blinked and...

 

Changed his mind. With a slight sigh, Kage just nodded.

 

"Of course you did.

 

So, shall we all go find some breakfast?"

[Zamuel]

"Makes sense. Only thing here is coffee who would want just that? I think the cafeteria has something."

[GodSentinelOmega]

"Coffee as wakeup juice in the morning can be a very useful thing. But yeah, you're right that we should probably all get a, well, hearty breakfast before setting out today."

 

pushing off from the wall, Kage headed out and down the stairs. Diverting briefly before heading to find the cafeteria, Kage approached Mrs. Jessothy at the front desk.

 

"Good morning. I would just like to apologise for the commotion last night. It was my fault."

[Zamuel]

"Understood. You're certainly more civil about the commotion than most." Meanwhile Roock and Beanuu hung back from Mrs. Jessothy.

EB waited for the others to finish using the bathroom before darting in there. He took a brief glance in the mirror and noted the recent scar on his forehead, and was vaguely surprised that it hadn't healed yet. He shrugged, not even remembering how he got it in the first place. After throwing his clothes on and tidying up the room a little, he went around asking everyone nearby if they wanted to grab some breakfast.

I figure this means everyone who isn't already downstairs/outside.

Night Cap makes his second attempt of the day to get out of bed.

 

"If there's coffee I'm in."

[Zamuel]

Those going to breakfast soon found smells wafting from the cafeteria. Upon going inside, they found that two breakfast medleys being served. One had potatoes, eggs, ham, and onions. The other had oats, grapes, berries, and apples. As several of the group selected what they wanted, Kage heard "Oh there you are I don't have to look for you your picture is finished I hope you like it." Ginny showed the picture which had Patch but was zoomed out slightly to show she was standing proudly on a cafeteria table.
