<ahem> did anyone see this coming?
<snip>
"meh, ill leave you to it" he said, lying down on the bed once more.
She stood up, and walked to a personal dispenser in the wall. She
pressed a
few buttons and some of her clothes were transported to
her. "night." she
said, and walked into the spare room.
Chris lay there and thought to himself and subvocalised to
Jack, "Holy
Smeg..." before falling into an *uneasy* sleep.
<end snip>
Kanako sat on the bed, and pulled a laptop from the pile of clothes
she had. She plugged it into a port on the wall, and connected to
the personnel files of the Dwarf.
"now, wheres the quarters assignment files." she thought out loud,
scanning through the files.
"ahha" she said, as she found them, and opened the file for the room
she was in.
Current Occupants: Chris Harris, Current spaces: 1
"perfect." she said, smiling and adding her name instead of the
space.
Chris stirred in his sleep, he heard a tapping in the other room,
phoenix fire enhanced hearing allowed the quiet noise ot wake him,
he lay there and listened. Kanako looked through Chris' files, his
previous placements, everything. She closed the laptop quietly, and
changed into her sleepwear, hiding the laptop in her clothes on the
floor.
Chris heard a click, a sort of sound that a door made when being
opened, he at once stood and reached for his sword...then
silence, "Meh, hearing things..." he threw down his sword next to
his bed, climbed back in, and allowed himself to drift back to sleep
Chris rolled over and issued a loud snore, not usual for him but
there you go, his hand came to rest upon Kanako's leg, he noticed
nothing and continued to sleep.
She could feel his cold hand, but left it there, and moved in
closer, trying not to wake him. She put her arm around him, and let
herself join him in sleep
{meanwhile, Melissa and Jack}
Jack lay there, his arm round Melissa, how she got to be there he
never knew, but that could wait until the morning, he was just
easing himself to sleep, when he reicieved a subvocalised message
from Chris..."Holy Smeg"
he ignored it, thinking Chris had accidentally turned them on after
stubbing his toe or something... besides, he didn't want to disturb
Melissa.
Melissa tossed and turned in her sleep, almost knocking Jack out of
the bed, this night they were so plastered they had ended up in the
single bed, being as they couldn't reach the double without
collapsing.
Jack couldn't get to sleep... he was thinking, of what, he didn't
know. His thoughts slowly forced the effects of the alcohol away
from him, he sat up, and stretched, walking to the window, and
staring out into space.
He pushed a few strands of hair from his face, and sighed. He
turned to face the bed, Melissa lying there peacefully.
she stirred, Jacks footsteps had evidently awoken her, she rolled
overand saw Jack standing there. She sat up, Jack was looking
almost straight through her, in deep thought, he hadn't noticed her
moving.
"Are you alright Jack?" she enquiured
He snapped out of it. "hmm? oh, yeah. i couldn't sleep." he
said. "theres something keeping me awake." he added.
He reached down to the table next to him, where his Quicky lay,
picked it up, and took a big gulp from it.
"Come back to bed......" she lay there staring at him.
That was the first time he'd heard that said to him in a long
time... he'd hardly even known a girl well enough to talk to without
stuttering horribly for years... since he'd joined the JMC in
fact... "Ok, i will in a minute." he said, taking another drink, and
looking to the other bed in the room, where John usually slept.
there was no one in it. "ehh, he won't mind" he thought, and pushed
it alongside the other, climbing in.
At this point he recieved another subvocalised message from Chris,
same as last time, "Holy smeg"
"whats up?" he replied, trying not to say anything.
"Kanako" he retorted
Jack said nothing for a second. "what about her?" he asked.
"dude, your step-sister is the only person I know that can turn her
feeling off for someone that quickly.."
"what are you on about?" he asked.
"I've just been told by her that she's in love with me"
jack raised an eyebrow. "woah." he said. "lucky you" he
added. "was she asleep when she said it?" he asked.
"No, but she is staying round here tonight, i've given her the spare
room"
"You think it was a bad idea?"
"no, but you may be surprised when you wake up later.. she
sleepwalks." he said, thinking about the places she'd ended up in
the morning when they were at home.
"or at least, she used to, don't know about now." he added
"We'll soon see, anyhow, goodnight mate, erm...is Melissa with you?"
"why do you ask?" he said, smiling to himself and looking at her.
"She's my daughter dude, i worry"
"she's fine, no need to worry."
"Ok, goodnight"
"night." he said, then turned off his Nano's, and drifted to sleep.
