Aside from alcohol, what do you people use to knock yourselves out for the night/get a decent night's sleep?

[ It's been way too long for October and she's honestly worried about going insane if it continues. She's already feeling incredibly on edge and she could've sworn she saw shit that wasn't there earlier, shadows that had ice clawing up her spine. She's put it off long enough, too, so here she is admitting (in not so many words) that she needs help.

A roommate might be the best solution, honestly, but that's a big leap. ]

All suggestions welcome, but try to keep it to shit we've got on board so it might actually be helpful.

[ why does anyone let finch have access to the network. ]

a fuck
that one's easy

Tried it.

[ She fell asleep before things even got very far, but it wasn't a good sleep. Not even a little bit. ]

Got another suggestion.

a better fuck

weed??

account books

golf

[Oh dammit someone got to sex before he had the chance to]

Get really, really baked?

I dunno otherwise man... if you're into that kinda shit, find someone to cuddle?

[ She's just going to ignore that first part because it wasn't Dean that was the problem, it was her. And she knows Dean's good. (She's pretty sure she's good, too, when she manages to stay awake...) ]

Two out of four isn't bad. I seriously doubt account books would put me to sleep AND make me sleep better, though. And fuck golf.

[ SHE'S ALREADY TRIED god, it's like people don't think she's capable of thinking that one up all on her own. ]

I'm not going to put out a message asking for someone to cuddle with me. Who knows what kind of disgusting freaks I'd get in response.

[ But weed might work. ]

Alcohol is the only one I can think of, but you compensate the sleep with the nice hangover. [Depending on how much you drink that is. Yes, this stems from many personal experiences.]

That or [And don't take this one literally] find someone, piss them off, and hope they're the type that likes to throw punches.

[ AS AWKWARDLY AS THEIR LAST MEETING MIGHT HAVE ENDED... dean's actually pleased to see her doing this. ]

You didn't even sleep well? I was hopin' that'd at least be part of the deal for snoozin' on me. [ he manages to look amused though, despite getting the short end of the stick during her visit. ]

I can deal with hangovers. My liver, on the other hand, can't handle me drinking on that regular of a basis.

[ The second suggestion amuses her more than anything, though she might give it some real consideration sometime down the line if she can't figure out anything better. Here's hoping it doesn't get to that point. ]

I'm sure there's plenty of people here that want to let off some steam.

[ Awkwardly is one way of putting it. October, on the other hand, would say it was more mortifying than anything. She also feels weirdly guilty. ]

I slept marginally better than I have been lately, but one night out of however many it's been doesn't help as much as you might think.

[ The key there is that she was sleeping in a room with another person; if she could just make the connection, she'd actually get over her hangups and see if anyone wanted to bunk with her. ]

[But sex clearly solves everything god don't you know that.

But October has a fair point, though it brings up some hilarious goddamn possibilities, especially on this stupid ship.]

Just watch, you post a fucking want-ad for a cuddle bunny and all you get is a Smiley emote or some shit.

Exactly. And as much as I love our creepy, red-faced friend, I don't exactly want to share a bed with him.

I don't worry about my liver so much, I worry about my ability to function at work during that fact. [Except he doesn't really worry about either of much, well, maybe his job, but lately it's been his sanity that's most concerning to him. Those manifestations...]

No, it's not that people want to let off steam, it's that this place just seems to collect assholes.

Good thing space only has a few select jobs, then; you can drink your heart out.

Yeah, there's that, too. Had a few bad run-ins since you got here?

[ she's not the first, and most likely won't be the last, of dean's more awkwardly mortifying sexual encounters.... good thing nobody else ever has to know about it. ]

Yeah, I guess.

How long've you been sleepin' like shit?

[ Exactly. She can keep a secret and she figures he can, too, in this case. ]

Since half of the people on board - give or take a few - ended up in what apparently ended up being a group coma.

I'd question your life choices even in this place if you did, dude. Some shit just ain't right.

[Call him bored, but he's actually trying to think of shit that might be helpful instead of trolling. For once. Even if it's about gay shit like cuddling]

Got anyone you can ask aside from Ol' Smiles? Like, instead of asking creepers on the general network.

[ There's a few moments of pause between his question and her response while she thinks about that. There's a couple people she could maybe ask, but it feels weird to her because she's not close enough for anything like that. Even considering asking someone to bunk in her room with her is a Big Deal. ]

Maybe a couple, but I'd rather find something that ISN'T reliant on someone else being around. Considering what this place is like, the moment I get comfortable and start sleeping again is the moment they'll disappear.

Space must be paradise for alcoholics.

[And bad run-ins? Not really. He's mostly been quiet since his arrival. Trying to figure out shit and all that, but he has been lurking on the network and read a lot of those posts that people put up. That's where he's learned a bit about the inhabitants of The Tranquility.]

Kind of.

You'd have to find one and ask

[ That was one good thing about the month without the network; people weren' airing their dirty laundry or fighting or whatever else right there where everyone could see. ]

Sorry to hear that.

If the opportunity arises, I might. [Probably not.]

[That did sound like a good thing. It's like the social network of the Syfy channel here sometimes. No, it's like that most of the time.]

I'm not losing sleep over it. [It's everything else that's causing it. And if this weren't a text, you'd see him shrugging off her apology. Don't apologize, it makes him feel weird.]

That'll throw a twist into anyone's sleeping schedule, yeah.

Can't really help though, 'cause I'm all team booze even if that didn't work for you all too well. [ good sleep eludes dean most of the time, too, so he feels kinda useless when it comes to these troubles. still, he wishes he could help. ]

I have sleeping pills. Can give you a couple, if they work for you take the other to medbay and get them synthesized.

Have you tried a sleeping draught? Or...I've heard magic can do that sort of thing.

super awkward suggestion, but try to get someone to chokehold you gently?
resulting brain damage might not be worth it tho.
