If you were suspicious about the aurora that started up a few days ago, it seems like you have good reason to be. Ever since they began, no one seems to be able to get a good night’s sleep. Fatigue is setting across the town, making people a little extra cranky. It’s a complete downer to the holiday cheer but no one seems to know what to do. There’s no sign that there’s anything supernatural about the aurora, but there’s certainly something odd about it. People lucky enough to even fall asleep only get to rest for a few moments before they are violently jostled awake by the sensation of falling through a rainbow of colors. Some worse off may suffer from the sensation of drowning beneath strange, rainbow colored water. People are passing out from fatigue and some people are suffering from strange vertigo. There doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

The one word seemed to play on a rolling loop in his head as Briar trudged slowly down the sidewalk.

To be honest being out and at the shops was quite possibly the last place that the red-haired teen wanted to be, especially given that he felt as he did on those nights where he'd stayed out a little too late as Oort.

Which would have been fine if he had, but as it happened he hadn't - at least not any later than normal.

Instead his tired state was down to the sleepless nights that he had suddenly been having - sleepless nights that seemed to have coincidentally started up around the same time as the aurora that had started up a few nights back–

And maybe it was more than coincidence, because this was Destiny City was kind of like the home of the weird stuff - but Briar was too tired to really think on and starting to feel cranky due to the lack of sleep.

And he really super just wanted to just go home, lie down and try and get some sleep but his Mum had decided that she needed onions and that he had to go get them for her - which was why he was out and about–

Very unhappily out and about.

At first, the aurora seemed beautiful than this inability to sleep set in which was making life a lot harder to deal with even the cheery sweet Michiko was grumpy and overtired trudging along in life it wasn't bad enough that her parents weren't coming home for any of the holidays now anytime she tried to sleep she only got at most a few moments sleep and then she was falling through a rainbow or drowning under a rainbow of colors. It was like a strange polar version of the dreams she had before she had awoken as a senshi.

She lay in her bed looking at the ceiling frowning then decided to get up to get some hot cocoa only to find that they were out of hot coco. She sighed deeply and grabbed her coat and ended up putting on two different shoes. Still in her pajamas and too tired to care Michi stumbled out of the house and wandered off to the store to get some hot cocoa and marshmallows. She had a vain hope that was warm milk with chocolate and marshmallows would make her feel a little bit better.

The streets had been mostly empty, which was as well because Briar wasn't really in the mood for interaction and was planning to go home and go back to sleep after picking up the requested onions - or at the very least attempt to–

He wasn't expecting the strawberry-haired girl that seemed to appear from out of nowhere on a sidewalk that had only moments ago been empty and it took more effort than Briar really wanted to expend on avoiding a collision.

"Hey watch it!" He told her grumpily, his reddish eyes reflecting the annoyance he felt at what had been a very close near miss as he turned to glance at her–

And he was quiet for a moment or two as they took in what appeared to be PJs under her coat, before he added somewhat reluctantly "Are you okay?"

Michiko's reaction was very out of character for her she growled and then she realized what she had done and she rubbed her face and said "I'm so sorry. I don't think anyone in the city is alright right now.. These lights are keeping everyone awake which is making everyone crazy." She babbled in her stress. By the red in their eyes they must be as tired as she was and clearly as cranky. She shook her head trying to clear the lack of sleep craze from her mind but anything short of sleep without rainbow nightmares wouldn't do any good.

Briar's response to the growl was to give the strawberry-haired teen an unimpressed stare, his reddish eyes flat as he started to turn away - because it wasn't as if it was his fault that the other hadn't been looking where she was going and it wasn't worth his time getting into an argument with her–

Not when it was time that he could be spending running his Mum's stupid grocery errand.

In fact he'd started to take a few steps when he realised that she'd started speaking up and was–

Was apologising?

His shoulders slumped a little as he paused and turned around to look at her "S'ok" he said at last, because he hadn't really been looking where he was going either–

Well that and she looked to be as tired as he felt.

"And I wish I knew what was up with the lights" because Briar really, really could do with some sleep - real sleep that didn't involved falling through rainbows - and the sleepless lights had started up when the weird aurora had appeared–

And maybe it was just a coincidence, but Briar thought not - because this was Destiny City and it wasn't the first time that weird things had happened.

Michiko was rubbing her face and trying to find something that was left of her wits but she wasn't sure there was much left there without being able to sleep for so long. She had a goal sorta. She wasn't so sure anymore what she was doing to tired to remember. She blinked normally when she apologized it made others feel better so she must be more tired then she thought to have thought she saw their shoulders slump.

She nodded the tension down for the moment. She nodded again "Me too." She said softly. Unsure what else there was to say, she thought she had something she wanted to do but she couldn't remember what it was so perhaps she would just go back home. Then again maybe she would go to the store and get some hot cocoa and marshmallows. It was really hard to make a complete thought without enough sleep and she certainly didn't feel like she had enough sleep lately.

"Umm sorry for bumping into you again, umm I guess I'll be going then." She stumbled towards the store almost sleepwalking in her tired state of lack of sleep. She hoped she would find her way to the store but in this state who knew.

"It's okay" Briar said as the strawberry-haired teen apologised once again for nearly bumping into him "You didn't hit me."

And he'd already said it was okay, but maybe she didn't hear him the first time around.

There didn't really seem to be anything else to say though and when she turned away he turned away too - because he had a store to get to and onions to pick up–

And then after that some much needed sleep, which hopefully would be more than the few moments of snatched time that he'd been getting.
