Calibrations Waiting Room Mingle

WHO: ALL HE ROWS
WHERE: The Secret Tunnel, which has become the Calibrations Waiting Room (or was it always...?)
WHAT: Mingle log for literally anything you'd like to take place in the waiting room between sleep cycles during the event
WHEN: June 3 - July 10
WARNINGS: Please mark individual threads with warnings

For those that have heeded Ga Re's warning, the door within the secret tunnel - which looks suspiciously like the hatch to one of your shuttles - is wide open, waiting for you. You walk through... and the door behind you disappears. You’re now standing in a cavernous, cold, white waiting room. There are hallways leading off the main corridor with names above each. One of them has your name and will draw you toward it, inevitably.

And on the wall, in pink, running letters is written this single greeting:

‘Welcome to Calibrations’.


The secret tunnel has become a large waiting room with chairs, tables, and the same food dispensers available in the shuttles. There are also communal bathrooms - one for each gender - with several toilet stalls and shower stalls in each, including basic shampoo and soap dispensers, like you might find in a hotel. The water isn’t hot, so hopefully you don’t mind lukewarm showers. Somehow, at least, it never goes cold.

Branching off the main waiting room room are the labeled hallways. At the end of each short hallway is a door, with the same character’s name written on them. Anyone can enter any room, regardless of the name written on it. Everyone has their own room, though of course people can share. Each room has a simple bed (approximately queen-sized) and a set of drawers.

You can opt to spend time in your room or in the larger, common waiting room. (And if you do, you can thread it out here!) But every 16 hours, you'll feel a compulsion: You need to sleep. Right now. You find yourself going into your room (or someone else's, if you really want). But you’re drawn to the bed. You can’t help but lie down. And then, you fall asleep.

"Or I simply don't get a choice." Neither of them might. As neither of them got a choice to come here as well.

Jon drops his shoulders after a shrug. "Guess all we can do is make the best of it while we can."

"Well, perhaps you should let yourself be positive for a bit," Reeve counters, reaching out to lay a hand on Jon's arm. "Whether something good or bad comes tomorrow isn't something we can control. So we should be happy while we can."
beholding_archivist: Do not take. Thanks. (Just... ew.)

"Well, it's good if you can stay positive, Reeve. I prefer cautiously realistic." Reality can already be hurtful enough. But having positivity crushed... Is devastating. And he sees no need to set himself up for more pain than absolutely necessary.

"But if you want a positive thought: This-" he gestures around them. "-for once allows me to get some sleep." Sleep and a lot to eat. All things considered it's not the worst situation for him.

Positivity wasn't his natural state anymore either. IT was just... Reeve had gotten good at faking it over the years. Have your soul crushed enough and it almost becomes... a defense mechanism. Surely nothing can be worse than this.

"You were having sleep problems? I'm so very sorry."
beholding_archivist: Do not take. Thanks. (Remote Nervousness)

The compassion is unexpected. This place is filled with insomniacs after all, and Reeve is no exception.

"Ah- It's alright. I don't really sleep anymore... I think?" Or rarely at best.

Yes, sleep and Reeve are not... friends.

"Is there perhaps medication we can get from the Agrii for that?"
beholding_archivist: (In need of tea)

"It's... Not a medical condition." Jon clarifies. "Just pay it no mind."

As there is little to be done about what he is or is becoming.

That's fair. That's really fair.

"Well, if you need company in the time when we're awake, I'm available to you."
beholding_archivist: Do not take. Thanks. (Well if you say so...)

"Thanks. I appreciate it." Not that they have a lot to do aside from talking.

Unless something happens in any of their dreams that ends up making people in here fight one another.

"I suppose the only positive here is that even us with insomnia are getting real sleep," Reeve says, trying to smile. But he feels so nervous here.
beholding_archivist: Do not take. Thanks. (I suppose this was a bad idea)

"...I am wondering how much of it is real sleep, to be honest." Yes, that's another question they probably won't get an answer to.

"We're unconscious, and I don't have to worry about being tired in the morning," Reeve points out.
