[Amy is at her piano today, not playing, but she seems to be looking longingly at the keys. Since it's daytime, her manner is sluggish-- as if she stayed up all night, when in truth she didn't.]

People come and go often in this place. I've seen so much of it that it doesn't faze me that much. It seems that there are many new voices on the network, however. It would be a pleasure to make new acquaintances when possible.

I would not mind hearing from those I have met before as well. I apologize for my silence. Things have been rough at the library where I work in.

how do things get rough at a library
do the librarians start carrying blackjacks and brass knuckles
form gangs between the young adult fiction section and reference
smuggle blow in their old lady purses
im genuinely curious here

Forever video~

[Amy is far too exhausted to change her feed's settings. She keeps it on video.]

How creative of you.

Unfortunately, it was more of an issue of a few narcolepsy incidents while I was working over the past few weeks. I think I am paler than usual as well.

oh
thats kind of disappointing i was all set for the legendary librarian rumble
i have a friend who used to have your problem though
but i dont think the way she dealt with its going to work for you

[graceful_cutter]

It is not bound to happen where I work. But a librarian scolding you sternly is something truly possible. I have a feeling this has to do with how little blood I have been able to drink as of late.

[crowsicle]

wait i thought you had donors
did you overdraw at the blood bank or something

Have They
That Is Unusual I Believed That Libraries Maintained Rigid Punishments For Those Who Even Intimated Any Kind of Rough Treatment Rough Language Or Generally Ruffianness
For Which You Could Be Severely Reprimanded

[Amy sighs, moving to rest her head gently on the keys of the piano. They make a soft, melodic sound as the keys are pressed in succession.]

That is true. But I work as a helper at the library, and there have been several times I had collapsed asleep while carrying books from one section to the other.

to video on this end, too, then

[vestalvogue]

I have a friend who used to do something similar. But I will guess that in your case it is not because an alien species is attempting to mind control you into submission. Are you all right?

[graceful_cutter]

No. I am certain no one is trying to make me submit to anything. I am alright... but I wish I could do something about this fatigue. Perhaps I simply am out of nourishment.

[madeinoblivion]

You sure look pretty beat...

Maybe you should drop in at Kahve, have more coffee...

[graceful_cutter]

Coffee... is it more effective than tea?

[madeinoblivion]

I think so!

[graceful_cutter]

I should probably try it, then.

[plum_that_snaps]

Are you all right? You should take care of yourself. [A look of genuine friendly concern is on Hinamori's face.]

I don't think we've met—I'm Hinamori.

[graceful_cutter]

I... I am simply fatigued. [She sighs, leaning her head on the piano.]

My name is Amy.

[plum_that_snaps]

I'm glad to meet you, Amy.

Have you been here long? It sounded as though you were... [would it be odd to say 'very old'?] ...had been here a long time.

[The look of worry remains on Hinamori's face. She certainly doesn't look alright. But the girl had pushed away Hinamori's concern once, and she wasn't about to pry.]

[graceful_cutter]

Yes. I've lived in the Port for almost two years now.

[Raphael is seated in his chair at his new office in Public Relations at the Lion's Gate club. It's been a long evening shift, and he looks just as exhausted as she does.]

Amy, pet, you should get some rest. I will be heading home from Lion's Gate soon. It's far past when you ought to be asleep.

[graceful_cutter]

[Amy had only heard about her father's new job in passing, so when she sees the feed showing him in his new office, she can't help but perk up a little.]

It's... I don't think it's just a matter of sleep though, Father. I haven't let myself drink lately.

[draculalite]

[His lips purse with concern.]

Why not?

[graceful_cutter]

I... I don't know. Perhaps it is but a phase I am going through. I couldn't bring up the will to feed, no matter how much my body wants it.

[theshortestbird]

Blood Rose? What's wrong?

[text; batcryption]

[graceful_cutter]

A lack of nutrition. Blood, to be precise. For some reason, I can't bring myself to feed lately.

[text; batcryption]

[theshortestbird]

Can I do anything to help?

[text; batcryption]

[graceful_cutter]

Would you help me consider my options? One idea is to force myself to drink from someone. Another idea is to consult someone knowledgeable with disorders of the mind.
