the twelfth.

My head aches terribly. Again. And as for my nose...well. It hurts even more than my head. And there's blood everywhere. This is going to be somewhat difficult to clean up.

My movements are somewhat sluggish. My eyes hurt. There are some nasty pains in my joints from lying in the same position too long. However, there is nothing of concern that won't be fixed soon enough by a little exercise.

I need to make that post again, the one about the volunteers. I really do think it could work this time. But not today. I don't think I have the strength to deal with the logistics of it all. Maybe tomorrow.

Why did I collapse, I wonder? I suppose it could have been SHODAN, but...

...hm.

And I can't believe I woke up with someone else beside me again. Several someone elses, in fact. This is getting ridiculous.

...It's good that you're feeling better.

At least we were all fully clothed this time.

On the contrary, I think I preferred being unconscious. At least it didn't hurt.

That's something to be thankful for, yes.

My name isn--

I'm hungry tilly, feed me.

Tieria-san, are you all right?

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

The hell happened to you?

[machine-purist.livejournal.com]

SHODAN? What happened?

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you went through the mill a few times since that last post of yours. What happened back there anyway?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

There's nothing serious.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I passed out and hit my face on a control panel, next question.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I was in the middle of making a voice post that was, in my opinion, rather good. For me to stoop so low as to actually request help in tackling SHODAN took quite a lot of working up to. And so, for me to be interrupted by a sudden desire to pass out face first onto a control panel, well...

...it was irritating, to say the least. I suppose it could have been her, but something doesn't seem right.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I suppose you could say that there was a physical face-control panel interface. Do you know how hard it is to clean blood out from between the keys?

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

...Fair enough.

Yeah.

[timey_wimey]

Nice to have you back, Tieria.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Are you sure? It's not good to ignore problems.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

And yet, the bells and whistle show before you disconnected didn't sound like your every day instance of passing out at a keyboard.

I've never had to clean between them myself, but I can appreciate the difficulty.

[jagan-glare.livejournal.com]

Jeez. Forgive me for showing the tinest bit of concern.

What d'you think caused you to faint?

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you'll be okay, Tieria.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I think you'll find that most computers make error noises if you press the keys for too long. I don't think they notice what is pressing the keys.

Oh, of course not.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

You're forgiven.

Perhaps I missed breakfast.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

So am I. After all, I can't really afford to sleep all the time.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Even if that would be kind of--

No, you know what? I bet sleeping all the time would be boring. I take it back.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

There isn't a problem.

[majorhacker.livejournal.com]

I know what it sounds like if you lay on the keys for too long, and that sure as hell wasn't it. There was something else to it and you're hiding whatever it is. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
