Wh-

[ Rustling can be heard over the network, like someone rolling around in their sheets despite it being nearly two in the afternoon. After a moment, the sound of an object (Yusuf's alarm clock, as it were) can be heard being picked up and put back down. His curtain is wide open, and yet the sun that usually wakes him up is not out, The City is as darker than Mombasa on a moonless night- at lest they had the stars... ]

The clock must be off- or-

[ A glance at the clock again, where the date reads on the digital face Sat Oct 15. ]

Oh, yes. The weekend, yet again.

I suppose there could be worse occurrences than a curse that tempts one to sleep the day away...

[ Noticing that little light on his device is on- he knows he didn't touch the thing- he picks it up and contemplates apologizing for any naps that he may have interrupted. ]

If this device were a woman, I might actually be flattered.

lmao damn it looks like "hot porn" at a quick glance

I- ah.

[ Projections... that know what they do for a living? Yusuf flounders for a moment. ]

Actually, I am not much for dreaming myself. Biochemistry is more my area of expertise.

huh. that is does... /shares anyway

[Now she's confused. Chemists don't dream?]

I didn't know the second one ruled the first one out...

admittedly, i have a glare on my screen from the window buuuut... /accepts!

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

It is not, necessarily, a hard and fast rule.

If you do not mind, may I ask how you know about dreaming?

i hope you enjoy ladies' fashions :-D

Oh! I've heard about it a lot. We don't actually sleep, but I've spent enough time on Earth that I found out about it. It sounds like fun! I've tried sleeping before, but I just end up laying there for a bunch of hours and then I get bored and need to do something...

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

On Earth-

[ Oh. ]

You mean, 'we' as in the human species, not 'we' as in a specific group of people, is that correct?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Why, what'd you think I meant?

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

I thought you might be referring to a certain group of people who sleep more than usual. Although, it seems implied that you tend toward the opposite direction?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Like I said. We don't need to sleep.

Although I don't need to eat either, I just think it's fun.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

How... do you not need to eat? Every organism needs to consume energy in some form or another, otherwise repair and maintenance of the body would quickly transform the body into a toxic environment. Starving does not kill people, ketosis of the brain does.

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

Oh. Magic.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Magic...

[ Seems... legit. ]

Do you have to say an... incantation? Or does the magic take care of everything for you?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

We're just not built that way. It would seem pretty silly to see an angel in the grocery store, right?

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

An angel.

So, should I be asking if I should be repenting now or...?

[ Because really, it would be nice to have some closure on the whole God vs Science debate; that one is about as old as the hills, and who can you trust if not an angel?

Oh wait. ]

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

If you want to, sure! It's not really my department, though. Especially since I'm stuck here.

[diastereomer.livejournal.com]

Ah, a Gabriel thing?

[dulcisnuntius.livejournal.com]

In a way. Just a LOT less high up the chain. Like, LOADS.
