Fifth Starvation

[alittleblackmagic]

Uhh . . . uhh . . .

I know this sounds like a really bad idea, but the doctor was saying earlier about how we should rest and conserve our energy because we don't know how long it would take before they decided to bring the food back, but I can understand if it still sounds horrible.  But, umm.  It's been three or four days now (I don't remember) and it doesn't look like they're any closer to letting us off the hook.  So if anyone is really, really suffering or anything and you just want to rest for a while, I can put you to sleep for a bit.  A day.  A week.  However long you want, really, so long as you don't struggle against it.  And whenever you do want to wake up, you can just sort of fight it off since it's magic sleep, and I think you'll know you're sleeping in your dreams, but I'm not too sure, but most of the bad guys I've put to sleep wake up in about ten minutes so it shouldn't be too hard.  And even if you can't fight it off, I promise I'll remember and come wake you up when it's all over.

Anyway.  It's just a thought.  It's not like a coma or anything.

Sleep spells? Muu, if you do convince anyone to go through with this I would like to watch. And go through their pockets.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Sure, if you want. It's nothing too special. They just sort of fall over and glow for a little bit.

No taking advantage of my magic to steal stuff allowed.

[hugs-arent-free.livejournal.com]

Still, I haven't had a chance to see much magic from other worlds. I'd like to try replicating certain spells I see. They could come in useful.

Spoilsport.

. . . Are you just gonna use it to get more money? Weren't you charging like 100 dollars a cookie?

[hugs-arent-free.livejournal.com]

Twenty dollars. And I do intend to use it for work if that's what you mean. Or defense. Whatever is necessary.

[fourfoldroots.livejournal.com]

If things continue as they do... I might take you up on that offer.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Anything's starting to seem better than just starving for the rest of eternity.

[fourfoldroots.livejournal.com]

Seriously. So it does not hurt and I can just... wake myself up when it ends? How will I know that it is over?

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yeah. That's a good point. Maybe you can just check in from time to time and if nothing's changed, I'll put you back under. I mean, it can't go on for much more than a week or so, right?

[immortal-smoke.livejournal.com]

People harassed me when I did this.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Well, I hope you asked permission before you went around knocking them out.

[immortal-smoke.livejournal.com]

I meant lying down and conserving energy, not enabling others to do so.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Oh. . . . What, they barged into your room and forbade you from sleeping?

[perfect-mother.livejournal.com]

That's a very kind offer... And I might take you up on it, if things continue this way.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Sure. Just let me know when you're ready.

[perfect-mother.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to, although I hope there won't be any need to go through with it.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Maybe it'll all be over by tomorrow. Doubtful, though.

[properwhitemage.livejournal.com]

That's a very kind idea, Palom.

What about you? Are you doing okay?

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

. . . Yeah, I'm OK. I've been sitting around drinking a lot of water, but it just makes my tummy slosh around when I move. How about you?

[properwhitemage.livejournal.com]

I'm all right. Are there any clovers or dandelions in your yard? Those are edible, even if they're not too filling.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think we've already gone through all of them. We've just got honey left . . .

[snackaholictank.livejournal.com]

...Hmmm...

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

...Hmmmmmmm?...

[snackaholictank.livejournal.com]

You're sure it only lasts a little while? And it doesn't hurt?

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's just like going to sleep, except it lasts as long as you need it to.
