UN: Former Pilot | Open Text

[skyward_eyes]

Having a bit of a problem getting to sleep, and I don't have access to the old methods of dealing with it here. Unless sleep powder is still a thing and people are hiding it.

Anyway, basically what I'm looking for is any remedies or advice people might have for getting to sleep. Or possibly a sparring partner to at least exhaust me to the point of passing out.

Or bedtime stories. There's no books, but bedtime stories are nice, good way to learn about other people's worlds and all that.

Sorry, but there are safety rules for this stuff. It's like gun discipline.

Suppose I could change my patrol times every few days. If only so that if I get eaten by something it doesn't have issues with how stringy I am.

[womanofvalue]

Well, if I had my gun with me here, that would be a much different story and I'd be a very happy woman.

I'd be happy to help you bulk up, though I think we can at least manage to make it so you can fight back when the inevitable eating attempt occurs.

[skyward_eyes]

[Wow is he laughing. Never thought he needed to 'bulk up' before.]

Thanks. I mean, I'd prefer to stay my pretty self, but I can accept bulking up some.

[womanofvalue]

I was with the army, bulky men is something that's second nature to me, now. Though, perhaps that pretty self of yours is just fine.

I'll see when we spar.

[skyward_eyes]

[Seriously, you're no end of amusing.]

I suppose you will, ma'am. What day would you like to start beating this poor guy up?

[Let's see if she is still amused to beat him up when she sees how young he is.]

[womanofvalue]

Let's set a date for a week or so from now? I'm still recuperating some of my lost strength after grappling with that illness, but then I ought to be just fine.

[skyward_eyes]

Absolutely. Perhaps by then I'll have some basic staffs roughed up, whether from Danny or from just finding good branches. If nothing else getting started with stances and length are pretty important, even if they aren't heavy or strong enough for contact.

Look me up when you think you might be up to it. I hope your recovery goes well.

[womanofvalue]

And I hope you have some luck in finding a suitable piece of material for your staff.

Until later.

I'm Peggy, by the way. When you do come looking for your sparring partner.

[skyward_eyes]

Got it. Peggy. I'll keep that in mind. Unless you need me to call you ma'am. Most people that beat me up tended to want ma'am or sir. Granted they were being paid for it...

[womanofvalue]

That would bring me right back to training.

You can call me Peggy, not ma'am. You're not one of my soldiers, I don't expect it.

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah, my orders tend to come from a different place. But let me know when you're up to it, I'll make time.
