โ riri williamsย !
riri didnโt like to sleep for this exact reason. nights never did work out very well for her. she either couldnโt keep herself sleeping long enough or just would be restless in bed, tossing and turning all night until she just stayed up and worked on her projects till sunrise. this habit was somewhat similar since being in the savage lands. though it was easier to blame the new environment on her lack of sleep. until that night of course.ย as much as she tried she couldnโt fight this one.ย
โriri, are you okay? you woke up screaming and your heart rate was accelerated.โ N.A.T.A.L.I.E asked concerned as she followed riri.ย โiโm fine, N.A.T.A.L.I.E. iโm fine.โย โi think you had a nightmare.โย โyeah, I know.โ there was a few moments of silence.ย โwas it me and your dad?โย with that riri tried to walk away but of course, N.A.T.A.L.I.E followed. stupid aiโs (she didnโt mean that).ย โriri you have to talk about this with people. you canโt avoid it forever.โย
โwill you shut up!โ she shouted before realizing that she wasnโt alone.ย โsorry, not you. i-i was talking to her.โ
wade was pretty much used to nightmares by this point. the man barely slept because of them. well, kind of. if he wasnโt sleeping because of nightmares, he wasnโt sleeping because of the goddamn voices in his head. ellie, on the other hand... she was still very young. no scary dreams for her, at least not as often as he had them. with her tucked into bed and sound asleep, heโd decided to wander. he had to pass the time somehow, right? he only wished they still had wifi and video games -- at least that would make time easier to kill. rounding the corner, he came face to face with another. wasnโt this the mini iron man chick? eh, something like that.ย โi mean, youโd be pretty valid to want me to shut up. only i wasnโt talking until... right now. a lot of people want me to shut up, but the thing they forget is that justย โcause ya tell me to doesnโt mean iโm gonna do it.โ he replied, laughing softly at his own jokes, or at least, whatever heโs perceived to be funny.ย โher, huh? is the invisible woman around, or--,โ he glanced around.ย โor is it a voice in your head? i get those. mine never shut up.โ
