[ 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.

What else could the lack of sunlight mean?

Wait-- 5 am?? That is unforgiving.

Eli says if you don't train in the morning you get soft.

As you can imagine, Eli is not soft.

He also does not sound particularly well rested.

Although, I suppose this is working well for you; there seems to be no morning to train in.
inmyothertights: (Billy - d-doctor strange)

He's a super-soldier, I think his body only needs like two hours of sleep and he functions like he's slept for ten.

Yeah I don't know what's up with that part of this curse.

A... super-soldier. So are you his super-protégé?
inmyothertights: (Billy - hrm; orly)

Me? No. No no no no no. No.

I'm a witch.

You are a woman?

[ Yusuf is pretty sure witches are the girls and warlocks- or, was that wizards? One of those are the male versions. Right?

Wait. Is he really giving this serious thought?

Witches are the, ah, magical women and wizards are the magical men, right? Or is it warlocks- I never could keep those straight...
inmyothertights: (Billy - facepalm)

[personal profile] inmyothertights 2011-10-17 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well...warlock means truth-twister it's not really a nice word...but witches can be men or women. I guess some people like wizard better, but witch is fine.

If you really want to be technical, I'm a reality-bender.

It's kind of complicated.

In that case, my mistake. Terribly sorry for the woman comment.

Reality bender... [ Sounds like the precursor to a forger, but saying so would probably not be the wisest decision Yusuf has ever made. ] It certainly sounds complicated. Can you bend reality in The City?
inmyothertights: (Billy - floating~)

Sure. It's not as easy as it is back home and I'm still learning, though.
