07: suddenly hats [video]

[findsrisks]

Okay, it might just be me, but doesn't anyone else think it's strange that all these hats are sticking on people's heads? I'm pretty sure it's another curse, but 'oh look you have a hat stuck on your head' just seems a little...I dunno, weak?

...

You know, I wonder what would happen if you put a hat on top of another hat that someone was wearing.

[Clearly someone should do this. For science.

But not Nanaki, no. She is not the wearer of hats.]

Not all the time. I just come up here whenever I'm having a really bad case of insomnia. It's better than just staring up at my ceiling for the rest of the night.

[He tilts himself to the side, making a wide, lazy circle over the whole island.]

[findsrisks]

I didn't know you got insomnia. Is it part of the bird thing?

[Action]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Nah, I've always had it. Can't really remember when it started, honestly. I've felt like I've always had it.

[Tooootally not getting into the why's of his insomnia. Night terrors are a bitch.]

[Action]

[findsrisks]

Wow, even since you were little? That sounds terrible.

[Action]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

I got used to it. There are ways I can pass the night until I pass out myself.

[Action]

[findsrisks]

Oh, so you have to work yourself until you're exhausted.

[It makes sense, it's easier to fall asleep when you feel like you can't move anymore.]

[Action]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Yep. Works about half the time, but it's better than nothing. By the way, we can head back down whenever you're ready.

[He doesn't look at all tired, but he feels he should mention that. Maybe when she's more comfortable Davesprite will offer a night flight, or she will suggest it herself. Whichever comes first.]

[Nanaki likes the view, but she interprets Davesprite's offer ashim saying he's getting tired of carrying her around, so.]

Alright, we can head back. We've still got that cheesecake to get.

But thanks, for taking me up here.

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

Anytime, even if you get a rocket board.

[Davesprite goes in for a smooth landing and sets her down gently.]

[Action]

[findsrisks]

That might help, since I'll still have to learn how to use the rocketboard.

[Once they land, she'll let go and stand on her own. She's a little wobbly because of the flying, but she's otherwise okay.]

[Action]

[cawcawmthrfckrs]

I'll fly along with you, then. Just in case you lose your balance.

[Davesprite is secretly a mother hen sometimes. He offers her his arm, totally ironically.]

Shall we head off into the magical land of cheesecake?

[Action]

[findsrisks]

Sounds good to me!

[And she takes his arm, and off they go!]
