anonymous text | in a strange young world

Question: if you're having really vivid dreams that leave you waking up... messy, what are they and how do you make them stop?

[ when you skipped past puberty, don't know what to call a wet dream, and have no internet searching skills... you make the mistake of asking the internet. but seriously. how do you make them stop?! at least give him a term to research, please! ]

Not every day, just the last two! And if I'm doing one sheet, I may as well do the rest. It's not like anything's truly clean once you've used them, but I don't normally do sheets more than once a week, so it's a hassle.

Ugh, it just sucks, I prefer taking baths before bed. Nothing feels as great as going to sleep feeling clean!

Then you just take two baths in a day! Since all the baths are at home here and the water heats itself, it's not inconvenient to take as many as you want. [ Wasn't this a conversation about awkward dreams and not baths? Now it's a conversation about baths. ] Doesn't it also feel nice to start the day off clean? I recommend it.
inuko: (stand | lost the ones)

[ He's so not a morning person in general, that waking up he's just more cranky than anything... get him tea, then he can talk. He sighs, kicking the back of his heel against the couch he's sitting on, curled up in the corner. ]

Being dirty doesn't feel great pretty much ever, but it's not like you wake up dirty from one night of sleep after a bath. You should still be pretty clean. Brush your teeth, find tea, face whatever the world's brought to your doorstep.

[ Truth be told, Shi Qingxuan isn't a morning person either. He would still rather be half-asleep in a bath, though. ]

But your hair will still need to be fixed, and it's good to wash your face in the morning, too.

Isn't it less awkward to just take a full bath?
inuko: (consider | i'm crankin' up)

[personal profile] inuko 2019-09-18 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's because being half asleep in the bath is nice... compared to half asleep and getting dragged out of bed into the cold air. ]

Don't remind me how much brushing goes into hair, and who doesn't wash their face? It's still less than leaping into the bath every morning!

Plus, less awkward, more awkward, it's not that it's awkward, it's that the reason for it is awkward, right?

[ My good anon! Learn to use a robe when the air is cold! ]

That might be true, but it still doesn't hurt to go a step further.

[ Why does he need to bring that up again— ] It's not awkward if you just treat it like a normal bath!
inuko: (glance | legends are made)

[personal profile] inuko 2019-09-18 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Tell his friends not to drag him out of bed and it wouldn't be an issue! Plus, he does sleep in robes! ]

I'm starting to think you just would take a morning bath anyway.

[personal profile] winepouring 2019-09-18 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Another robe! Overrobe! Get friends who don't drag you out of bed...

.......... He has him there. ]

I don't make a habit of it...
inuko: (serious | as the ashes hit the ground)

[personal profile] inuko 2019-09-21 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
See? You really are a step away from making it a true habit!

Which is fine, really, but then you're not acting out of character no matter when you go to bathe, are you? Maybe I should do that too just so it's never a thing... if I can wake myself up otherwise on mornings that aren't awkward.

[ A...ccomplished? Mission accomplished?? ]

See? Then instead of being awkward, it's just part of routine! As for waking up early, just try to go to bed earlier. It might help the other issues as well.

[ ?? probably not, he thinks, but...possibly? ]
inuko: (neutral | i don't know what i'd do)

[personal profile] inuko 2019-09-24 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Are you a morning person?
winepouring: pouring wine from a cup (then even if i'm wounded slightly)

[personal profile] winepouring 2019-09-24 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all! But if I have a choice, I'd rather just stay awake.
inuko: (regret | could be the best thing)

[personal profile] inuko 2019-09-25 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
... All the time?
winepouring: smiling (the feeling of being hurt)

[personal profile] winepouring 2019-09-25 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Why sleep if you don't need to? It can avoid situations like this.

[ He still slept sometimes, but... ]
inuko: (neutral | i don't know what i'd do)

[personal profile] inuko 2019-09-25 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, what does it mean when you say you don't need to sleep? Are you some kind of spirit?

... Or demon, or god, I guess. Maybe the last two are more likely to have to worry about being messy...
winepouring: pouring wine from a cup (i want to be able to accept everything)

[personal profile] winepouring 2019-09-25 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Not needing to sleep is not needing to sleep. Ah, isn't it a little strange to assume someone is a god or a demon? Are they really that common here?

[ AND WHO THINKS OF GODS HAVING THIS PROBLEM? THAT IS NOT A NORMAL CONCLUSION FOR A MORTAL PERSON. Wait, is he a god or demon himself? ]

I'm a god myself.
inuko: (consider | lived and feel)

[personal profile] inuko 2019-09-25 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if it's common, but humans need to sleep, even if they have trouble sleeping. The only ones who don't need sleep that I know of are spirits, demons, and gods, and you're kind of proving my point since you're admitting you're a god...

So you seriously just stay up to really avoid this problem, huh?
winepouring: nervous laughter (taking my doubts)

[personal profile] winepouring 2019-09-25 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
I don't stay awake to avoid it, I stay awake to do other things instead! Please don't word it like dreaming is my only concern!

Since you need to sleep, you must not fit into any of those categories yourself. Are you a mortal human?
inuko: (ask | you're living)

[personal profile] inuko 2019-09-25 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ He almost corrects this guy, but... ]

I'm human.

[ Instead, he holds on to this core truth. Because it's what he needs to be true, no matter how complicated the reality is. ]
winepouring: pouring wine from a cup (then even if i'm wounded slightly)

[personal profile] winepouring 2019-09-25 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Many gods, demons, and spirits are or were once human, too, but he won't be pedantic. ]

I see. It's strange to see a human saying things like this. Thinking about gods and demons having problems like this, doesn't it sound ridiculous?
inuko: (think | once or twice)

[personal profile] inuko 2019-09-25 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ truly not the usual case for his world, but hush, no one needs to know he and his friends are the exceptions. ]

Not more ridiculous than other problems they might have. At least this one doesn't end with anyone getting killed, cursed, or smited, you know? Besides, I've had my fair share of contact with non-humans. Stranger things than vivid night dreams are true.
