How bad are your nightmares?

[white_widow]

The nightmares are bad. The time spent laying there with my thoughts while I am waiting to fall asleep is worse.

[tacoshield]

I don't try and fall asleep afterward. I just get up and do something else.

[white_widow]

After nightmares or after the stupid brain spiral?

[tacoshield]

After the nightmares. So I don't have to deal with the brain spiral.

[white_widow]

Ah. I meant the brain spiral that happens before I fall asleep at all.
After nightmares I have to move around a bit, too.

[tacoshield]

I don't really have an answer to before. Hard to avoid that.

[white_widow]

Yeah, me either. I can confirm that vodka is a bad answer. Lullabies are actually still pretty good even as an adult, but a bit much to ask for every night. If I come up with anything more permanent as a solution, I will let you know.

[tacoshield]

Vodka won't work for me. I doubt lullabies would either. Getting close to just asking Barnes to knock me out.

[white_widow]

I did not think lullabies would work for me either, it was very surprising.

I don't think Bucky would say yes. If you really do want to be made unconscious, though, I can do that. Or Alexei would probably be willing.

[tacoshield]

I don't want Alexei to do it. He'd probably try and tell me a story and I'd die of boredom.

[white_widow]

That's a fair point. Although maybe it would just put you in a nice boredom coma.

[tacoshield]

Pass. I am not in the mood for more Red Guardian stories. I've known the guy for like ten minutes and I think I've heard them all.

[white_widow]

Don't worry, soon enough he will make up new, even more outlandish ones.

[tacoshield]

Is any of what he says true?

[white_widow]

I hate to admit it, but most of his stories about when I was little are true.

[tacoshield]

I haven't heard a lot of those. I should ask. Get some stories about you running around with a snotty nose.

[white_widow]

I was an adorable, extremely lovable child, and that is the theme of most of his stories, so have fun.

[tacoshield]

You don't think he'd tell something embarrassing?

[white_widow]

I am feeling remarkably desensitized to being embarrassed by any of those stories today, thankfully.

[tacoshield]

Still think I'm gonna ask him.

[white_widow]

Enjoy yourself. Just know I will remember how you handle stories you think are embarrassing to me when I decide how to handle stories I have that are embarrassing to you.

[tacoshield]

There's no one to tell embarrassing stories about me.

[white_widow]

Actually, there's us.

[tacoshield]

What embarrassing stories do you know about me?
