Bad Batch Insomnia Part 1
So there is an episode in this kids show that shall not be named where there is a certain time of year where the sun is out for like 30 days, I'm talking no darkness at all. And of course the constant daylight makes it hard to sleep and so all the characters get insomnia bad, which really messes up their heads. SO I got to thinking TBB Insomnia. SO I pulled myself together even after the new episode and got working on how each member would react to each passing day. I will start with the first 5 days in this post and then go from there later on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 1
---
Hunter: *Just drinks caf. I mean that's all a man needs right?*
---------
Tech: I hope you all are sufficiently prepared to not see me for the next 15 days.
Hunter: Ok, why?
Tech: I have calculated 15 days will be the optimum time to get the largest amount of work and research done the most efficiently before my body... How shall I put this?...crashes.
Hunter: *sips caf* Oh, ok, well have fun.
Tech: *Retreats into lab.*
-------
Wrecker: *Is just so excited about having this much sun for this long and approaches it with strong man vibes* Nothing takes me down! Especially not being tired! Right Crosshair!
Crosshair:
Wrecker: RIGHT CROSSHAIR!
-----------
Echo: *Takes the opportunity to get some reading done and work on upgrades for the ship.*
------
Crosshair: *knows everyone is going to crash eventually but assures himself that he will be the last man standing. Just sits back and prepares to watch the chaos unfold.*
---------
Omega: *Is so excited to get to stay up as late as she wants. Plans all sorts of fun activities to do with the squad and gonky.*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2
-------
Hunter: *Just drinks caf and goes on. The first night with no sleep was brutal, but that's what caf is for right?*
---------
Tech: *Hasn't emerged from lab. Welding sounds can be heard from inside.*
-----
Wrecker: *Decides to spend the day playing with Omega. They have a blast*
---------
Echo: *Still reading and adds clean up around the ship to his bucket list.*
----
Crosshair: *Cleans his rifle. Watches Wrecker and Omega play together and declines their offer for him to join in with a scowl. Didn't get any sleep that night, but he's laid for days at a sniping post before, so he's good.*
----------
Omega: *Gets really tired in the afternoon after playing all morning, plus she didn't get any sleep last night. Tries to take a nap, but the sun is too bright.*
--------
Day 3
------
Hunter: "Caf is man's best friend, I don't care what anyone says about dogs or bunnies or familial relationships."
------
Tech: *Building noises coming from inside lab*
------
Wrecker: *Plans on bugging Crosshair for the rest of the day because Omega is too tired to play.*
--------
Echo: *Starts up on everyone's laundry, while still reading his book.*
------
Crosshair: *Gets bugged by Wrecker to the point of insanity, so he crawls up into his bunk and tries to sleep. No luck there, too much sun*
-----
Omega: *Spends the whole day sitting in the corner with a blanket over her head trying to sleep, but can't because of Wrecker and Crosshair.*
Wrecker: You look tired Crosshair!
Crosshair: I'm not tired you oaf!
Wrecker: Are you sure?
Crosshair: *deep scowl*
----------
Day 4
------
Hunter: *pouring caf* Crosshair, did you know caf is the greatest gift to mankind?
Crosshair:
Hunter: Really though, it's a beautiful thing. It makes the world a wonderful place to live in.
Crosshair:
-----------
Tech: *His lab has become his own private world*
------
Wrecker: *Finally feels a little tired. Tries to find a dark place to sleep, but the whole ship is illuminated. Ends up doing coloring pages with Omega.*
--------
Echo: *Crosses laundry off of checklist. Decides to take the mattresses out of their bunks and let them air outside. Is still reading his book*
-------
Crosshair: *Insists he doesn't need to sleep, but he really wants to. Decides he'll sleep better with his rifle so he goes to his bunk only to find his mattress has been removed. Ends up curled up in the corner with his rifle in his arms. This may be harder than he thought.*
------------
Omega: *Colors pictures for every member of the batch. But doesn't get them quite finished. Will give them to them later.*
---------
Day 5
-------
Hunter: *Has major headache from being so caffeinated but is loving every moment of it! Actually plays a board game with 'Meg and Wrecker.*
---------
Tech: *His shadow can be seen moving hurriedly back and forth in his lab. Crosshair has tried poking his head in the door to make conversation and Echo has asked if he needs anything, but Tech is ignoring them. *
-------
Wrecker: *Plays multiple board games and several rounds of holochess with Omega (he loses every time). At the end of the day he finally crashed for about 10 minutes in the pilot's seat of the Marauder.*
---------
Echo: *Put the mattresses back after letting them air all night. Or was it night? He can't really tell with the constant light. Has decided to pull the other members of the Batch in on his reading, but can't decide who to start with first. All in all he feels pretty good. After spending so long in the Techno Union's experimental tube, he figures he doesn't need to sleep.*
-------
Crosshair: *Is relieved when Echo puts the mattresses back. Decides to reorganize and clean all his gear, which was in pristine fashion anyway, but it gave him something to do. He was feeling better than yesterday and the only thing really keeping him rolling was the suspense of which batch member would really crash first.*
------------
Omega: Playing with Wrecker and Hunter made her really tired. She saw Crosshair cleaning his weapons and decided to watch, from a distance. She had been warned not to touch his things, especially right after he had cleaned them. Snuggled up with Gonky and Lula after Supper but couldn't sleep because Tech started rambling loudly in his lab.
----------
Well that's the first 5 days! Hope ya'll enjoy them! More to come!
