EVENT: SPACE PIRATES ▒ OXYGEN GARDENS

[ataraxites]

CHARACTERS: Ensemble production!
LOCATION: Oxygen Gardens
WARNINGS: Camping.
SUMMARY: Hanging out in camp, discussing pirates, etc.
NOTES: Open to all!

Camping may not be an expected activity on a spaceship, but the gardens are large and have clear, grassy areas for people to gather together. You can help set up tents, inventory supplies or guard the perimeter — just keep an eye out for any strange faces trying to sneak in...

"I believe I passed out during my initial 36 hours before I had stabilized."

Which was a yes, if one counts only voluntary sleep.

[logicunlocked]

"Hey, well, that's how it works sometimes. Sleep isn't something you can do on purpose. It just kind of happens." Not that Delta would be entirely unfamiliar with that concept. There had been plenty of times he'd been talking to Delta into the night and fallen asleep in the middle of a sentence.

[alaspooryork]

He nodded. Yes, Delta remembered those times well enough.

"Understood. I do not think it will be difficult today, however."

He had been going for quite some time without rest by now, after all.

[logicunlocked]

"Pretty sleepy, huh?" York was as well, and he yawned.

[alaspooryork]

He nodded. "I suppose I am."

Delta bit his lip at the prospect of unconsciousness, as no AI was ever really used to that, but--York would be right here in case he needed anything.

[logicunlocked]

It was kind of funny the way Delta wore his emotions so readily on his face. York would have thought that would have been something he would have found difficult, but instead it seemed covering it up was the hard part.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked at Delta's apparent distress.

[alaspooryork]

Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to hear it directly from York.

"You will be here if I cannot sleep?"

Or if he can, but has difficulty, or if he has a nightmare, or if...if...anything, really.

[logicunlocked]

"Yeah, D, of course," he said, reaching over to rub Delta's shoulder briefly in a reassuring gesture. "'M not going anywhere."

[alaspooryork]

"Thank you, York."

The verbal reassurance did help, he found. Delta gave York one more quick smile and closed his eyes.

[logicunlocked]

He thought to himself with some irony that at one point he would have had Delta set an alarm for him to wake up in six hours or so. Delta didn't have those abilities anymore, and of course it's something he'd been going without for several months now anyway, with the absence of his AI since his arrival here. Instead he contents himself with awakening whenever his body decides he's done resting, and in the meantime he'll try not to sleep too heavily, in case Delta does need him for something.
