Rosette - "Sleep Deprivation"

<ooc: I'm going to join suit on the lack of hilarity in a post... This ones all about character building, and hopefully an awesome story in the making.>Celebrations all over the ship had ground to a halt, returning those involved to their jobs.  Everyone was starting their normal life again, leaving behind the excitement of a near death experience, and feeling the pain of an Adrenaline downer.There is always an exception to the norm, and this time it was Rosette.  Instead of getting completely slaughtered in Parrotts, to the tune of wishing the promenade was covered in grass just so she could cling to it for support, she was lying in bed, in her room, mostly alone.With the covers over her head, she tossed and turned, eyes wide open, unblinking for the several hours she had been lying there.  Her bedclothes were soaked in sweat, her mind was losing its edge, and the bug within threatened to take over.  Suppressing its voice for just a few moments longer would give her the time she needed to get some much deserved, and long overdue sleep."wakey wakey, rise and shine."A tear rolled down her cheek as the voice of the bug caught up to her.  During her time on Earth before joining the Blue Dwarf, she had gievn up sleep for days at a time, evading the gang members that seemed intent on killing her, removing all witnesses to her families death... But never had she spent as long as this without a good nights sleep.Literally rolling out of bed, she crashed to the floor, knocking a bedside table into the wall.  Anyone watching this would have thought she was still drunk from the celebrations, but this was about as far from reality as possible.  Dragging herself into the bathroom, she turned on the shower, and found herself a clean set of pyjamas, ready to try again.  As she passed through the doorway back into the main part of her room, she punched the doorframe hard enough to draw blood.  The pain, her only reminder that she wasn't completely crazy.A mixture of sweat, tears and blood mixed into the water of the shower, giving her the effect of a temporarily cleansed soul, before stepping wearily out of the small shower.  Drying and re-dressing shouldn't have been such a difficult task, but for one so sleep deprived, it was like rocket science to a 12 year old child.  Finally succeeding, she grabbed her duvet, wrapped it around herself, and wandered out into the corridor, heading for the security offices.Several weird looks and ignored people later, she arrived at the main security office, opening the door to see Jayne leaving.  She stayed for a moment to make sure she was alright, but Rosette walked past, heading for Chris.  As she approached him, she barely managed to open her mouth enough to speak."Lock...me.... in the most... secure room.. you have." she mumbled.  The severe need for sleep was threatening to send her into a coma any moment, which would let the Bug out to play.With one final movement, she fell... onto Chris.  Her eyes sealed shut, the bug within her laughed manically, knowing that its time was about to come.<tag security people.  Care to get her into a super duper secure cell, or fight a super hymenoptera spider?  Your choice ;) >Add other email accounts to Hotmail in 3 easy steps.
