[Hello, Union.

(Or anyone else within reach, really)

It's three am. Are you asleep? Good. You can stay asleep.

If you're awake or just dozing and within reach of your warp band, though, you might see a public transmission]

Yo. So who the hell else is up?

[Kaido is definitely not asleep, and he's bored]

Comments

guys youre like in the next rooms to each other

[at_too_low]

I am!

[His voice is a bit excited, but quiet - don't want to let Mari know he's still up]

They'd be talking to each other on skype when they're in the same room

[kaidont]

--why are you awake?

[You're supposed to be resting, like normal healthy people of which he's clearly not]

[at_too_low]

[He'll demonstrate instead of answering - consequently holding up a pencil, a drawing of something tech-y, and a tray of small metal details. Surely you can put two and two together.]

The important question is, why are you?

[Giving a small giggle - oops, guess who's high on lack of sleep.]

[kaidont]

[... yeah you should definitely be sleeping]

I'm pretty much always awake at this hour.

[kaidont]

Unless I get tired out.

[Can you hear the wink wink nudge nudge in his voice]

[at_too_low]

[Sorry, he's too preoccupied with whatever it is he's doing and with not having enough sleep to process that the way you intended]

Didn't you do your training today? Maybe go for a night run? You'd get a great view on the stars! Oh, speaking of that, I wanted to check something...

[Aaand he's disappearing for a second to apparently rummage through one of his desk's drawers. You'll hear paper rustling]

[kaidont]

Yeah but it's boring to do this stuff alone every night.

[He'll wait for you to get back on screen]

[at_too_low]

Want me to come with you?

[That's said while he's still offscreen - it takes about half a minute, but he finally re-emerges with a victorious expression - and with a big sheet of paper lined into grids in his hands]

Ta-dah! I came across an astronomy book in the library a while ago and I thought, why not try making a constellation map myself? Haven't made much progress yet, though, but that's only cause I tend to stay in at night, even when I'm awake.

[kaidont]

[... oh god stop being so cute. You're making him excited about your dumb star map. How dare you]

... sure.

[at_too_low]

[Grin~]

Great! So, are we going out then? Oh, we might need to pack some food. And drink. I mean, it's not fun if you don't get to have a midnight picnic, right?

[kaidont]

--what, right now?

[at_too_low]

Hmmm? But you said you were bored, right?

1/2

[kaidont]

--point.

2/3

[kaidont]

... hey that reminds me. You ever actually watched the sunrise?

[kaidont]

... from outside. [You nerd]

[at_too_low]

[He opens his mouth to reply, before your last sentence stops him]

From the outside?.. I'm... not sure. I might have?

[kaidont]

Okay that settles it then.
