[Loras turns on his bracelet, looking at the screen; he looks exhausted, to be sure. There are a few scratches on his face, and a bruise slowly starting to bloom along his jaw.

There are troubling things that Loras wishes to speak on, and while he initially debated speaking to the network at large...

...sometimes something must be said.]

It seems that I have been wandering in my sleep. I have never...I have never experienced this before. And that I seem to be wandering far afield--and finding that there are a great many things in the vicinity are dangerous to those who walk when not awake.

This may be a strange request to ask of someone, but I think I may be in need of a watcher.

[It is not easy for him to ask such a thing; but he would rather have someone watch him, than become horribly injured, or killed, because of this thing that is plaguing him.

But another thing that troubles his thoughts, he might as well address now, as well.]

...also, I have to ask.

If you have seen a glimpse of something--something that awaits you, when you return. A vision of an event that may be your end.

...what do you do, with that knowledge? When here, you can not change it?

[The apple gave Loras the glimpse of something horrific--and it reminded him of what his sister said, when he first arrived here.

Meaning that it most likely was true. And that a fate worse than death might be coming towards him, without a way to stop it.]

[Gaia looks worriedly at the screen.]

Loras? Are you alright? It must be so weird to realize you sleepwalk... C-Could this have something to do with Asgard or the gods? I mean, since you mentioned you didn't do it before...

[dyingisnotdead]

I do not know--I do know I am not the only one to suffer as such.

[So many strange occurrences.]

[applegoddess]

Would you like me to watch over you? Though I'm not sure what I could do to stop you... You're very strong.

yess let's do this thing.

[pratentious]

[ Though there is a lot that Arthur finds important in this post. It's difficult to find where to start, but perhaps the most immediate concern - ]

Are you in need of any medical attention?

[dyingisnotdead]

[Loras shakes his head.]

They are but minor injuries.

[Loras is worried that the next time they won't be as minor.]

But the thought is appreciated.

[pratentious]

[ Arthur gives it a moment's consideration, not entirely assured of how sound Loras' judgment should be when he's sleep impaired, but - trust a man to know himself. He nods his head in acquiescence. ]

If nothing else should suffice, you may like to see about instating yourself in the hospital all the same. They could keep you to your rooms overnight.

A watcher?

[dyingisnotdead]

[How difficult it is for him to admit this.]

Someone to ensure I don't...wander.

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

I could...try...

[He's mostly up working at night anyway so it is not like he'd sleep any less.]

[hollowchild]

[the voice on the other end of the bracelet is soft, exhausted, almost defeated.]

You keep going.

[audio]

[dyingisnotdead]

...and how do you do that?

[This person certainly doesn't sound as if they are managing very well.]

[hollowchild]

[she's got 99 problems and her memory apple trauma is only like 40 of them.]

Don't stop. For some of us, this may be the only place we can really live. We can't undo the past and we can't stop the future that's waiting, so live the best life you can here, while you can.

Perhaps easier said than done at the moment, but it isn't always like this.

I would say try not to give it too much thought. What's dwelling going to do? It won't change it.

[dyingisnotdead]

But if there was a way to change it--to find a way to alter the future...

[bays]

Ain't ya got a mate that can maybe tie ya down?

Video

[dyingisnotdead]

I...I do, I suppose.

[Loras hadn't thought of that. It might work.]

Though as I seem to be falling asleep at strange moments, it might be hard to anticipate when I need the restraint.

[bays]

Maybe they can restrain ya all the time. It ain't so hard, I can even tell 'em how to make mashed banana if ya like.

[ Oh man, Loras is the kind of guy he can actually give his usual coping advice to. Kind of odd to have at hand after so long. ]

Ah, well, myself, I tend to have a few drinks and find a good fight. The future's the future. If you can't change it, you're better off keeping your mind in the moment.

[dyingisnotdead]

Oh and are you offering to help with both those ideas?

[verybigpheasants]

I am a very selfless soul like that. If nothing else, I've got the perfect luck for it.

[The sleepwalking he had noticed, sadly it was something they had in common right now but the rest was what really caught his attention. ]

Your end? Not the apples again...?

[Those terrible things! They should not be showing people awful things!]

What did they show you?

[There was a deep sense of dread, like he shouldn't ask, but he did anyway. If anything were to happen to Loras...
It... it just didn't bear thinking on.]

[Video]

[dyingisnotdead]

I do not wish to speak on it...not over the bracelet.

[It is a private matter; he would tell Leonardo, but privately.]

[Video]

[true_renaissance_man]

I understand. Could I meet you some where? Are you at your God House?

[wasteless]

Who cares about the future? It's just a bunch of what-ifs.

[dyingisnotdead]

How is it a 'what if' if you have seen it?
