[It's late at night when the journal entry appears.]

Evening.

I suppose I am writing in this thing because I can't sleep. I haven't really figured out what to do about that. Any suggestions would be helpful.

[There's a pause, before he adds more.]

Is anyone else up at this hour? What are you doing with your time?

[Another pause, longer than the last.]

If anyone would like to talk right now, that would be fine.

[ALSO AWAKE.

And totally unsure of whether or not he should say anything.

He just stares at the entry for a long time before finally giving a mental screw it and writing down something stupid and simple.]

Hey.

[written]

[reluctantjinrou]

[Well, isn't that his luck sometimes.]

Hey Riku.

[written]

[darknessinside]

[YEP. Sure is.]

How are things?

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

[Screw writing, he's busy at the moment so he just uses the audio option to answer, as he does the sounds of something frying on a frying pan can be heard faintly in the background.]

Cooking.

[That's regarding what he's doing with his time right now.]

Tried to count sheep yet?

[Voice]

[reluctantjinrou]

[He sounds mildly amused.]

The chef know you're in there?

[He snorts a little bit, responding with a sarcastic drawl.]

Yeah, I'm at six thousand, nine hundred and thirty-six.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

As far as I know, no.

[Then again, Ikki is still refusing to eat anything not prepared by himself, so maybe even if he knew he wouldn't say anything. Or maybe he would confront him as to why he's refusing to eat normally and just does so late at night while everyone, or mostly everyone, is sleeping.]

Have you tried to knock yourself out?

[It's a valid question even if it's clearly sarcastic.]

[voice]

[maskedtyrant]

[Yeah, Codi's never been one for sitting down to write what's on her mind--not even when everyone else on her ship is trying to sleep.]

Tea kind of helps. At least, while it's cold out. But I guess I'm not a very good example--otherwise I'd be asleep right now, right?

[She chuckles--then there's a pause as she takes a sip of the aforementioned beverage, as if to make her point.]

What's on your mind?

[voice]

[reluctantjinrou]

I don't mind tea, but for whatever reason I haven't really felt like having it. Maybe I should order a good green tea from Miss Margie.

[He doesn't mind changing to voice at all, but he's not entirely sure who this person is. It doesn't surprise him, he's been pretty insular with his crew.]

Too much, I have too much on my mind and it's keeping me from sleep, I think.

[voice]

[maskedtyrant]

...Well? You have a lot on your mind, say it! [Another sip.] You're not going to feel any better just mulling over stuff all night. Get it off your chest! I'm not going anywhere.

[Voice]

[theartofboom]

I'm up. You know I am, Yuuki.

[Chandra laughs.]that guy was trying to teach me. Slow going, and I'm stiff as a board.

[Voice]

[reluctantjinrou]

It's not a very good habit though.

[He blinks a little.]

What are you trying to learn Chandra?

[Voice]

[theartofboom]

Blue magic. It's...kind of a pain.

I'm always up for a talk should you need it, you know.

[reluctantjinrou]

I can't sleep so that would be nice, I think.

[watchesthesea]

Talking is always a good way to get things off ones mind. Especially if it's the reason you can't sleep in the first place.

[hiken]

I scout when you guys are asleep, so I'm definitely awake.

Why can't you sleep?

[reluctantjinrou]

If you have something that needs doing, you can ask. I'm not doing anything.

I just have a lot on my mind I think.

[hiken]

That seems like the case for everybody. I think I was like that before, until I decided to stop caring about the difficult things.

*Unfortunately Adol drew the short straw and had nightwatch duty this time. Concentrating on his journal will help keep him awake.*

Usually I just try to be fairly active during the day. Do you have a lot of trouble falling asleep?

[Written]

[reluctantjinrou]

Quite a bit of trouble, yes. I do some physical activity daily, aside from the chores I have around the ship.

[Written]

[wanderer_from_ys]

And you still can't go to sleep? *he ponders*

Do you have a lot weighing you down?

[Elissa's life has been full of many things since the magic candies came and went - so much so that she's fallen behind on the happenings in the journal. Normally, she takes pains to keep up with entries and discussions as they occur, since they can be very helpful like Mami Tomoe's timely warning about the properties of the candy hearts. Now, however, she is late to seeing Natsuno's entry - and what she sees disturbs her. Taking up her pen so as not to disrupt the rest of anyone near to her, she begins to write.]

This is Elissa. Are you faring well, my friend? How is your sleep?

Forgive the belated reply.

[reluctantjinrou]

Hi Elissa. Don't mind being late. My sleep is still pretty elusive. I wouldn't say I'm well, but I suppose it's passable. I'm alive yet.

[doctor_ozaki]

Starting to believe the only time I'll find myself asleep for more than a few measly hours will be on my death bed.

And not much, working, reading, whatever can be done under the lamp light I guess. Nothing really interesting or unusual…

[reluctantjinrou]

Any reason you can't sleep? My reasons are stupid.
