[Good morning, Hadriel! And by 'morning', we mean approximately... 4:30 in the morning.

Lilith, sitting at what's evidently the kitchen table in her apartment, doesn't look especially concerned that she's waking anybody with this post. Seeing as she's very, very sure that she's not the only one still up in these wee hours, futilely fighting the nightly waves of Fear-induced exhaustion by trying to sleep as little as possible while she is affected. Accordingly, she's rocking eyebags, """smoky""" eyeliner, and a mug of coffee approximately the size of her head. (Thanks, Chris and crew-- she owes you guys big.)]

'Sup. [is her deadpan opener. Yep, just a ''sup'. She stares, blankly, into the camera for a second, takes a huge swig from the giant mug of coffee, and continues in the same dispassionate tone.]

First off-- Fear, you're a dickhead.

[Cue another, smaller, gulp of coffee. Charming as ever, she flicks her middle finger up at the camera while she drinks.] Delight's cool, though, thanks for the breaks every other-- ooooooh my God, caffeine, this is definitely helping! Hoooly crap.

[Can you tell she hasn't slept very much.]

Secondly. Good luck to everybody in Slumbertown tonight, but I'm sick of Fear's fresh new mental scarring every damn time I try to go to sleep: I'm sitting up tonight. Who's with me? 'Cause if you are, could you bring me some more coffee? And, um, some of those little video game things, 'cause the wimpy stone age batteries in all of mine have died already.

[Sigh.] 'Least I already got used to 30-hour days on Pandora.

Cream? Sugar?

Interesting. And those can be found here?

[cashlin]

ok yeah, with both. [If there's any day she needs an Irish coffee though, it's today.]

some simple ones. They were sitting around the temple a weekish ago.

[smited]

Then you'll have coffee in a few minutes.

That would explain why I haven't come across any of them. I tend to stay away from the temples if at all possible.

[cashlin]

......wait really?
thank you.

[Lilith was serious about the coffee, but grumpy cat Cullen of all people giving it to her is something she hadn't bet on for sure.]

Yeah, i get why you would. im usually only over there on the days that new people file in, or if Im trading with Rage for supplies. if I get a new one, or find any batteries around here, I'll show you a video game though

[smited]

Really. If this works, it will be worth the trip.

[ cullen is a fan of anything that can fuck with the gods' plans and will help out. this definitely counts. ]

I would enjoy that. Thank you.

[He can't see her smiling, but she totally is.]

Third spire. If youre gonna stay up too, i'll share. [smiley emoji!!!]

what sort of games do YOU have? weve never not had video games. imagining being a kid without them is kind of weird.

[smited]

How generous of you.

Card games. Drinking games. As a child, my siblings and I often roamed around the farms playing pretend or climbing the golem statue in town. My sister and I often played chess as well.

[cashlin]

you know me. I'm a giver.

Hey, what do you know, we've still got all of those! Board games and tabletop games are still pretty popular in my time I think. havent played in a while myself though. no time for that, between jobs.

[smited]

I usually don't either. I would count myself lucky to have friends who all but insist on my taking a break every once in a while if only those breaks didn't often involve Wicked Grace.

[cashlin]

What's Wicked Grace? sounds like my kind of game.
