21... sleepless in the city

...So. That was different, I guess. I still say we needed a few racing chocobos and a couple dozen rides. And let's not forget the golden coated buildings. Ugh.

private\hackable because Cloud is too tired to concentrate

How long can someone go without sleep? I can't keep the dreams away. I've tried that poem. I tried drinking. The only thing I haven't tried is knocking my head into a wall and that won't work with my thick skull.

I can't...

Dammit!

As a human? It depends on the strength of the person.

...

Am I keeping you awake?

I would love to know how you could be when I sleep during the day.

...Oh.

Sorry.

Would you like a lullaby?

A...

Company is better.

I am coming now.

About 3 days before you start hallucinating.

...~~Damn.~~

Fun.

I think, but I don't know, death comes around 7-10 days. By the way, have you ever stayed awake past 3 days? Those hallucinations...

...You can't sit there and go "It's not real" because they seem so real.

I hit about five when my body just shuts down.

...Hallucinations, huh?

Seeing pink elephants yet?

...Pink elephants would be better.

Four days before you start going nuts. I've pushed five, but it's no fun.

Cloud. Find a doctor.

And how would that be any different?

We're not going there, Yuffie.

No. No, okay? I'm going to pull a Tifa HERE, because here is where it matters.

I'm fucking worried about you, Cloud. Okay? I'm worried about you. I know you can't admit weakness and I know you can't say what you're thinking, so I won't ask you to, but find a doctor or SOMEBODY you can talk to or SOMETHING.

I know we never got along all that well, but I still don't want to see you hurting pointlessly.

Don't worry about me. Just... don't.

I'll figure it out.

I'm not hurting that much.

Hurting period, you idiot. But fine. Whatever. I'll give it up for now.

Thanks, Yuffie.

Three days before it starts to get to you. Five days and you'll start to see shit.

Drinking doesn't really help much.

Do I need to come sit with you every night until I know you're sleeping?

[ooc: says the woman that hasn't slept a full night in days. XD]

Heh, I see shit the first day on. Maybe I'm just a little more crazy than most.

Usually it knocks me out so I don't wake up.

Only if you promise to sleep as well.

[ooc; I cna just picture it - Lestat tucking them both in at night and sighing about how stubborn they are with stories >.>]

You're not crazy.

Maybe so, but it's bad on the body.

I would if I could. I got almost four hours last night.

Sometimes, I wonder.

Mako's good at pushing a body past the limits.

Four? That's a nice number. I think I was tossing too much myself.

Why wonder?

Mako?

I fell out of the bed, though. That's what woke me up. Mostly.

...A number of reasons.

Mako's is something created from raw power and injected into members of SOLDIER to make them more than human.

Ouch.

Oh, I did find a copy of Loveless. I'm smacking Lestat with it first.
