(A woman wrapped in a very warm looking throw blanket and wearing a thicker jacket seems to be sitting outside in the late evening, very early morning darkness.)

Maybe, I should...

No, that won't work... and I really...don't want to force that...

(She is tapping her chin now, deep in thought.)

Oh, right. So, if anyone's awake right now...I need a favor again. (She looks very troubled, she's very worried about something and it shows on her face. ) And don't mind my appearance, I kind of got woken up...and well, it doesn't matter, does it? Okay. Good. (She yawns.)

But seriously... (Marie yawns again and leans back in her seat. It's only now that she truly looks like she is in need of some rest. During the day, she usually appears sunshine and smiles - someone full of energy, almost having too much of it. But, right now? She is in some serious need of rest, preferably a good night's sleep. But, if someone mentioned it to her. She would shrug them off and say that she'll just make sure to drink an extra strong cup of tea and try to nap later on. Or sleep the next night.)

I'm asking this for someone else, a friend... but, what's the best way to handle nightmares?

It can be anything to stop them from happening to even calming down after having one. Anything you can think of...I'm stuck and I need some help thinking of ways to deal with this. Well, in any case, if you don't have any good remedies for how to handle nightmares... would anyone mind talking to me for a bit? I don't think I'll be able to fall back asleep anytime soon...

(A slight shrug.) But, if anyone's out and wants company and doesn't want to talk over this thing...I'm sitting outside of my apartment. I definitely wouldn't mind having some company right now.

Open to everyone:

Hey, so I decided to give this place...the Cat's Eye... a try tonight...

(He frowns slightly at first and it might sound in his voice.)

More like I'm supposed to be meeting this guy here...and either I'm early or he's running late. Or he's some sort of crazy ninja and in that case I totally need to learn these skills...

Ah, yeah, if anyone sees my evil twin running around and he's on his way or something - tell him to hurry it up, alright? (A joke. Just not funny. At all.) I shouldn't be the responsible one here.

(Mark stretches and leans slightly back in his seat, the chair can be heard in the background if one listened closely enough. Obviously he is more than slightly bored at this bored. He's never been much of sitting idle kind of guy - not that he's not willing to do so if something is important enough.)

Anyway, why I'm here isn't important, well to anyone but me and the evil twin....but, anyone want to come hang out tonight...I'm buyin' the drinks this time.

Just don't get used to the idea. I'm not a pushover.


Locked to Jason Bourne:

Hey, man... this is the right place, isn't it? You said at 7? Or did I mess that up. Anyway, if you're here tell me where you're sitting and I'll just switch tables or something.

And, man, if you're here...what kind of ninja training can you give me?

(Mark just thinks he's hilarious and he laughs and grins from behind the audio feed.)
