text / un:gambler - congrats on getting the other early morning drunken text

[dregs]

{ he's sleep deprived at this point, and unfortunately the first of his thoughts are stuck going around in circles. thankfully he's already in bed and has stopped drinking at this point, half asleep and semi-delirious as a whole set of different texts go to different people.

this one had probably actually been intended for stelle. mistakes are made. }

Is it weird to watch a friend who is not really a friend sleep?

Wait. Don't ask for context, just remember I can see in the dark now so it made it too easy.

But it's weird, right? Thinking about it, it's weird.

{ no, the context is what makes it a hell of a lot weirder tbqh. the hot mess later gets sent to stelle is because he tries to stop thinking about this. unfortunately for him he's misfiring to boothill first. }

voice to text

[forkeroni]

Yer lucky I don't sleep normal hours, pardner.

Why are ya watchin' somebody forkin' sleepin', anyway? Are ya that bored?

[He won't ask for context. Yet ]

[dregs]

{ he squints at the text that comes back, because that sure does not sound like something stelle would write.

sees the recipient.

sees he messed it up. }

Do you even actually sleep?

And I wouldn't call it boredom. Though I guess they were better to look at than the ceiling.

{ is this even a compliment- }

[forkeroni]

Got a brain, brains need rest. And my body requires a charger cuz I ain't made with endless energy, y'know.

I dunno, sounds like yer bored t'me.

[dregs]

I could have guessed the charging would be a thing, just not the sleep part. I guess it'd be boring to just wait until it's done though, especially if you can't do much while it happens.

And I doubt it's boredom if it's haunting me like this. It doesn't matter.

Have you ever watched someone sleep?

[forkeroni]

Yer not wrong. It's mighty borin'.

O' course not. That's weird.

[dregs]

Maybe you ought to take up a new hobby.

Think of something creative and maybe I'll join you for it.

{ let him accumulate hobbies that aren't overthinking things. }

[forkeroni]

Improvin' my readin' skills takes up enough times as it is.

'Sides, I ain't the one creepin' on people while they sleep. So, why don't ya tell me what got you doin' that instead o' just sleepin'?

[dregs]

I wasn't creeping.

{ is this what you think of him, buddy 😔 even while drunk he's offended. }

What else are you supposed to do if someone is holding onto you while they sleep?

[forkeroni]

Y'can see in the dark and ya chose to use it on someone who ain't really a friend that is also holdin' onto ya.

Dunno, sounds like creepin' t'me.

[He's totally teasing even if it doesn't read like it, but he's definitely got a grin.]

[dregs]

you'r doing this on purpose

{ even if he's been drinking he's clocking on to that, thanks. }

[forkeroni]

Doin' what on purpose? I only been tellin' it like it is based on what ya told me.

[dregs]

I can't prove it, but would it make it less creepy if they probably didn't mind?

{ DID he mind though? no... they're both making shit weird. he probably isn't alone in this. }
