It is funny. You made the exact face Tara does when she dislikes something ...
[ sharp teeth and all. he'll take the can and take a sip. humming. ]
Oh--! It tastes exactly like the concoction my fourth year roommate at Blackstaff used to drink. Five glasses of these a day-- he claimed it would keep him awake and alert during exams, though I rather thought that actually sleeping instead of attempting to cram all night might be the solution to that problem.
Combatting the biological need for rest has long been an impassioned study in wizarding circles. We would eschew the need of sleep and food entirely were it possible, because it is often a distraction from ... I don't know, conducting a study on the effects of the Border Ethereal on grain-fed crimson weasels.
It is a shame that I actually like both of those activities.
[ i was really like oh i'll throw a comment in post trial before i go to sleep and now i'm like gazes into the entire distance with a five thousand yard stare. ]
And energy drinks, apparently.
[ lord.
... gale you make things so easy. ]
Ah, so you've been watching all of us sleep then. [ lewd. ] ... I wonder if that comes with leading our little band of weirdos around. I recall some restless nights myself.

It seems vile. Well--
[ reaching over to crack open the top for him. it seems pretty obvious you pull on the tab that is there to pull on. ]
Cheers ... ?

he will take a sip. ]
...
[ and then he pulls SUCH a face. ]

SORRY HE JUST FUCKING LAUGHS. this is just the most cat-like behavior of all time. ]

Ha ha, very funny. You try it.

...
[ .... ah. ]
Of course someone at wizard school made a concoction to magically pin his eyes open.
no subject
I think it made him magically manic more than anything. It's a good way to make one's heart explode.
no subject
no subject
You can have it back! I'm hardly hoarding it!
no subject
Don't talk about your bloody heart exploding, that would be infinitely bad.
no subject
I'm not going to explode my heart!
no subject
no subject
I'm quite hale and healthy, you know. Apart from the orb. Nothing is going to explode based on a few chemical stimulants.
no subject
[ looking at this drink like what are you satan. ]
It seems like the sort of thing that could explode an organ though. If you were drinking it like water.

And are the effects significant enough to not eat and sleep for?
[ hmm ]
I remember enjoying eating and… well. “Sleeping.” Perhaps not in quite the same wa.
no subject
[ so, no. it's just academic hyperfocus on nonsense. ]
In my experience you do certainly sleep. Perhaps a little stiffly and disconcertingly ...
no subject
[ ... huh. ]
Oh? Was watching me sleep a hobby of yours? [ he does something, probably. ]
no subject
[ thats what science is. sometimes you find out nothing happens. anyway he splutters a bit. ]
No? I just-- Don't always sleep particularly well, and I notice what the rest of you are doing.
no subject

no subject
[ THE LEADING PART. not the lewding!! also admit you sleep like a big weirdo astarion. ]
I suppose I'm not your leader here, but still, it feels difficult to shake some sense of being the one who should make some decisions.
