What do you do when you can't sleep? Probably a stupid question, but it's too quiet here. Too much time to think about things.

If that's not a good question for you, then what's there to do here at night other than look for the nocturnal kinds of Pokemon? I grew up near the coast, in the suburbs. There was always at least something open, but here the towns are kind of... smaller.

I tend to plan things when I can't sleep. Nothing elaborate, most of the time; just things that will make the next day tolerable, if it's a matter of thinking too much about things. If it's bad enough I don't trouble myself with "tolerable" and just focus on "bearable."

Is there something in particular keeping you awake?

[wing_attack]

Thinking about home a lot, mostly.

[ardent]

Is something particularly bad happening there?

[...One day he'll work out that you seriously can't just ask people that, but.]

[wing_attack]

I don't really want to talk about it.

[ardent]

Understandably so!

Is anyone with you right now, or are you alone?

[fourwayconnection]

I would pace around a bunch before maka started buying me like fifty pokemon

[okay that's an exagerration, it's only been five or six but still, that's almost all of his Pokemon.]

Giant cuddle pile tends to help

[wing_attack]

I don't think a cuddle pile would really work with my Pokemon.

[fourwayconnection]

Yeah you need a certain type......

exercise unti lyoure tired enought of all unconscious?

[wing_attack]

I don't mind walking, but I'm not like... a runner or a basketball player or something like that.

Is it insomnia keeping you awake? I've heard that there's medicine here that can help with that, but I've never tried it.

If it's not insomnia, then maybe you can try figuring out what's keeping you awake. Is it stress or anxiety or something? Is it excitement? Maybe just focusing on what's keeping you up could help.

I usually have issues sleeping, so I tend to explore the city at night. There are definitely places still open at strange hours if you're in Goldenrod, but otherwise... Well, I'm not very familiar with most of the other towns. You might be able to find something still open, like a diner or something.

I'm in Cherrygrove, right now. ... Technically just outside the city.

I can't stop thinking about home. Things that happened, things I need to do...

[glaciates]

I know what that's like. It's really rough, especially if there's some unresolved business back home.

You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but is it something you feel guilty over? I know that's kept me awake plenty of times in the past.

[wing_attack]

Maybe? I'm more worried about people.

[Shaun's not sure how to respond hours later, but he takes one look at his fat Musharna and knows that he has to answer anyway.]

Have you heard about Munna?

[wing_attack]

No? What's that?

[neededlassie]

Its a pokemon. It looks kind of girly but its a psychic-type that eats nightmares. They also learn Yawn pretty quickly which is a move that works pretty well on people as well as pokemon. It makes you fall asleep faster.

I have its evolution, Musharna. Her name is Bella.

I even asked Sabrina the psychic-type gym leader and she said they like helping their trainers, so it's okay as long as they're not getting sick.

[wing_attack]

That sounds pretty nice, actually...

I usually try training, myself. Or finding somewhere to go fishing if the weather ain't trying to kill us.

[wing_attack]

They're tired, though. I don't want to push them too hard.

[text]

[solas_ion]

I meant training myself more than them, actually.

[wing_attack]

I'm not really an athlete.

Just thinking about things.
