A gosh darn Milky Way in Hell

Tack:

A good pirate is always planning crimes.

Bad sleep? Well... Moonless nights. I drowned on a moonless night. Nearly set the ship ablaze with all the candles the first time. I don't like the dark.

Uno or Bo'sun tend to share my bunk. Not...

Virgil:

Mention sleep again, and you'll know why demons are afraid of me.

In my dreams, I run across black dunes until the shadows catch me and start breaking fingers, then I get dragged screaming under the sand.

Then I wake up. In the desert. Again.

Charlie:
🤣The world may never know!🤣
Ok, bad joke and not in the spirit of the question. (I never plan any criminal activities.)
(They're usually incidental.)
(And not usually violent.)

Ok, but wow. Consecutive?
Like not getting up in the middle and doing stuff?

Given that my survival rests on committing something that's a crime for the first eleven months after my displacement, there really isn't an amount of sleep that would've changed that, for me. I was legally too young to do it. 🧵

Wilken:
I can survive on very little sleep. I have slept outside on the ground so often.

I sometimes get bad dreams, I am used to sleep being hard to come by.

Except that one time, travelling with Raven and Trig. I woke up holding Raven, I did not mean that. That was mortifying.

Kyoka: *groans* "Ugh, my mom and Himari hate my sleep habits. I just hate wasting time! I function on about 5 hours a night. Sleeping is weird, okay!? You just TURN OFF for hours. It's... frustrating."

Jane sighs tiredly. “I know this is a joke, but as a Princess I am required to be offended by your question.”

Cameron shouts from where he stands in the corner. “Four hours!”

Jane pauses in thought. “I… cannot acknowledge that, on principle.”

"An interesting technicality," Tiferet answers. "Thanks to my condition, I don't require sleep to survive; but doing so still refreshes my mind, as it does any living creature's. Elves also, generally, require far less sleep than humans. So...four or five hours, on average."

Lucy: [spits out drink] Um...
Stella: [cackles]
Beverly: Now that's a question.
Julie: I don't get it. Wanna fill me in?
Cèilidh: The whole premise of our plot is that we get up and do criminal activities.
Lucy: For the greater good, mind you
Clara: Still illegal, Lucy. ⬇️

I actually do get a full 8 hours of sleep. I NEED to go to sleep at a reasonable time.
Because I’m on the Air at 7 in the morning and I need to sound like I’m not tired.

The demons at the coffee shop across the street could set a clock by when I show up to get a cup.

This question is a humorous joke that uses extreme exaggeration to describe how irritable and exhausted your character feels after a bad night of sleep. How do they handle feeling tired and irritable with the people around them?

#QueerCharChat Avery: "One time, I bought extra honey cakes from the local baker's. They're delicious, and I wanted to share them with my family and with Tristan. Things aren't always great, but honey cakes never fail to make me smile."

Lu (25): I got away from Sol for a day, just before I enlisted. I bought a bottle of perfumed oil I used to get. It's NOT cheap. Not even before the war 😂

It's imported from Calor, and it was probably one of the last that got through before the border was closed. ⬇️

Eron: You shouldn't taste so sweet and then it wouldn't be a treat.

Enzo: *groans, flushing a deep crimson red* How can you mortify me and turn me on at the same time?

Eron: Experience, mostly. You blushing so cutely works, too.

#QueerCharChat | September 23, 2026

Eron: *looks confused* Material goods are not treats. If I want to treat myself to something sweet, I find Enzo.

Enzo: *looks absolutely mortified, holding his face in his hands* ERON!

Eron: It is kind of your fault, baby.

Enzo: HOW!?

#QueerCharChat | September 22, 2026

Enzo: Salron?

Eron: ... He liked being punished.

Enzo: *blushes* Okay... yes, he did. But that is besides the point. You were wrong and he deserves a sorry.

Eron: No. He shouldn't have been so suspicious.

Enzo: *covers his face with his hands* FFS

Enzo: *smacks his lips and looks at Eron, who is clearly uncomfortable* I wonder who this title belongs to.

Eron: The boss doesn't apologize, Enzo. Otherwise he would be a weak boss.

Enzo: Ok, we don't have enough time to unpack that trauma.
