[It's the middle of the night, but who has time for sleep? Poison, who is often woken in the small hours by nightmares, does not.]

Anyone awake?

[ Poison isn't the only one up at a ridiculous hour. Drake's been struggling to sleep ever since he wound up here, figuring he'd adjust to the stress and loneliness eventually, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Tonight he's writing himself a script for a post of his own, and since public speaking really isn't his thing he decides to check the network for inspiration... and sees Poison's simple message. ]

I am.

You okay?

[writtendestiny]

[She considers lying, but she doesn't like to lie, and telling the truth about how she feels has become easier over text.]

No.
But I suppose I might be, eventually.

[braveoff]

[ It's good to remember improvement's possible, but eventually isn't right now. ]

I hope eventually comes soon.
Maybe we can help it along a little?

I can play listener or distraction, I don't think I'm gonna sleep anytime soon.

[Eventually is a long time off, Poison thinks. And she thinks back to a conversation she once had, on a night she couldn't leave her bed for illness, with a man she wouldn't meet in person until weeks later.]

Do you know how to play hangman?

[braveoff]

I do, yeah. What's the category?

[writtendestiny]

Fairy tales.
Unless that's too hard for you.

[braveoff]

No guarantees our worlds have the same stories, but we can try?

[writtendestiny]

Don't worry, I won't be too specific. I'll go first.
