[The young woman's face that appears on screen doesn't look nearly as exhausted as it probably should. Her voice, however, is as weary as she's pretty sure everyone is feeling.]

So I'm curious. Does anyone out there know the side effects of not getting any sleep? [She pauses to consider something.] Or maybe how long they'll take to start showing up? [Another pause.] I just think that might be some useful information for people in general to have and, well, like I said. I'm curious.

[For the record, Claire hasn't been sleeping pretty much at all. However her ability is working overtime to keep circles from appearing under her eyes as well as countering the other, less pleasant, side effects that come with not getting enough rest. There's still the random, occasional bleeding that she can't explain but that's neither here nor there, right?]

I'm really not picky. [A pause.] Just nothing that involves thinking. I'm pretty sure my brain's going to plot a revolution if I try too much of that right now.

Oh, I hate thinking, thinking is the worst. I make it a point to think as little as possible as it is, we are going to get along quite well. So your brain is safe, and you're safe from your brain.

Good conversation already, see. All right, we'll do this like a survey from a girl's magazine. Your favourite... colour. Start there. Boring.

[voice]

[indestructigirl]

Didn't we just decide no boring questions? [She's clearly teasing.]

And I my favorite color is red. [Mostly because people who meet her usually assume it's pink so, red it is.] What about you?

[voice]

[doggedly]

Aha!

[He snaps his fingers--the noise is audible even over these devices.]

Mine is red as well. See, look, already these questions are less than boring, we're learning all sorts of things about one another. Similarities. All right, now it's your go. You ask one.
