[Someone hated him. He's pretty sure of that. Well, no..

Lots of people hated him, on Auldrant, that is. Here, he hadn't been here long enough to annoy anyone to the length of which would deserve this kind of punishment.

The first sensation after waking up was the soreness. Everything ached and Jade couldn't open his eyes or move yet. Sleep paralysis, how he loathed it. Until here, he'd never had the displeasure of feeling it for any amount of time. When the soreness began to go away, tingling spread from his toes all the way up to his ears as his body continued to try to wake up.

When he could finally open his eyes, he was blearily staring at the ceiling and feeling like his mouth was stuffed with cotton. Every time he began to move any limbs, he could hear popping and cracking and other various old people noises. As he finally got himself to sit up, he hunched over and held his face, making a garbled noise. He was never sunshine and rainbows in the morning, but he was never this bad. Then again, he felt like he'd been asleep for a while; much longer than was necessary. There's a bit of a shift as Jade gets his legs over the side of the bed and sits there idly for a bit. Best to get all his faculties in order before he tries to get to a terminal.

When that's accomplished, Jade is up and going to get dressed before he goes into the hallway, shuffling for the first few steps before he gets himself back up to walking a bit better. When he's reached a terminal, he turns it on, his expression far less intense than it had been last time he'd addressed anyone.]

Is it normal in the Tower to fall asleep for three weeks?

((OOC, I'm finally back babeh))

Were I to wager a guess, I would say 'no'.

Re: [video]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Oh, hello again.]

That seems to be the general response.

[liquidouroboros]

I did find myself beginning to wonder what had happened to you. Though I'd have guessed you getting yourself killed more likely than playing Sleeping Beauty.

[video]

[semipotence]

... no, I don't think I've ever heard of that happening before.

Re: [video]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Good to know I'm already venturing into even newer territory.

[mayatama]

I'm pretty sure it's not...

Re: [ video ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Are there any others who have fallen asleep for odd amounts of time, or am I simply prone to Comas in this world?

[He wouldn't be surprised with his running luck as of late.]

[ video ]

[mayatama]

Maybe it's the second? I haven't heard of other people falling asleep for that long...

[sacred_flamer]

Good morning.

[ALL THE SARCASM EVER.]

Jade, we need to talk.

Re: [Video]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

There seems to be a running trend that whenever I wake up, there's a new problem I'm required for.

[There's a sigh and Jade rubs his temple.]

Let me guess, it's about Asch.

[Video]

[sacred_flamer]

Good guess.

[Luke folded his arms over his chest.]

He's dying, but he's being... well, Asch.

[Video]

[evokingfool]

Not really. I think it's the first I heard of it.

Re: [Video]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Good to hear I'm a pioneer of comas.

[The sarcasm is practically drowning the hallway on that one.]

[Video]

[evokingfool]

[Positively dripping.]

At least we know comas are a possibility.

[eternallily]

I've heard of it. I can't imagine it would be pleasant. I'm sorry it happened.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[There was a tired chuckle and Jade rubbed the bridge of his nose.]

It's certainly not your fault, but thank you for the sentiment, miss.

[eternallily]

If it makes it any better at all, I don't think you missed a lot? The admins were playing with people's perceptions of time, making them think they had been here longer than was true and changing their bodies to match, but that's the main thing. Otherwise? Business as usual.

Saki. Saki Asami. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[warriorscribe]

But that I'm aware of, but I...wouldn't be surprised.

*And others are saying they've heard of it too, so...that had to count for something.*

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Seeing how things work here, I'm almost surprised I wasn't attacked or mauled in my slumber.

[video]

[beknightedheroine]

Well - I had a pal who did that a lot! I think it might just be a thing that happens something. It's not unheard of.

And there was that one time when like a billion people passed out for a few days and had some super intense dream sequences, but that was probably the admins doing things again.

Re: [video]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Here's a raised brow and a look halfway between confused and interested.]

That's worrisome. Though why would the admins put one person- or anyone- to sleep for so long?

[Video]

[relinquishing]

That's some pretty extreme beauty sleep.

[Hi there, Colonel. Guy wasn't sure if you really were alive or not!]

Re: [Video]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Mm, hopefully it paid off.

[He's rubbing his face and shaking his head.]

Someone had an issue with me being awake, I take it.

[audio]

[carrythesin]

...I'm not sure if it's normal, but possible.

[audio]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Has anyone else been hit with this kind of phenomenon that you know of?
