Stephanie: Hey Tim- AAAAAAHH! *Stephanie slips on marbles scattered on the floor*
Duke: Oh my god, are yo-? WOAH! *Duke slips and falls too*
Tim: Good lord! You're ruining everything!
*Tim starts reorganizing the marbles*
Stephanie, groaning on the floor: Oh, damn
Duke, also on the floor: Are you okay?
Stephanie: Do I look okay?
Duke: Don't bark at me, I fell too!
Stephanie, helping them both get up: You've been falling all night, you're used to it
Damian: Drake, what the hell are you doing?
Tim: The same thing I've been doing for 3 days!
Tim: Trying to figure out why electrons behave as if they have no mass when traveling through a graphene sheet
Jason: ...With marbles?
Tim, still reorganizing the marbles: I needed something bigger than peas, now, didn't I?
Jason: Tim, when was the last time you got any sleep?
Tim: I don't know. two, three days? Not important
Tim, getting up: I don't need sleep, I need answers
Tim: I need to determine where in this swamp of unbalanced formulas... *gestures to a scribbled board behind him*
Tim: ... Squateth the toad of truth.
Stephanie: The toad of truth?
Stephanie, to Duke: Is that a physics thing?
Duke: No, that's a crazy thing.
Jason: Okay, Tim.
Jason: What happens to our neuroreceptors when we don't get enough REM sleep?
Tim:
Tim: They lose their sensitivity to serotonin and norepinephrine
Jason: Which leads to...?
Tim: Impaired cognitive function
Jason: Right, so march in there, brush your teeth, and go to bed
Tim:
Tim: But I don't wanna go to bed:(
Jason:
Jason: I'm gonna count to three.
Jason: One-
Tim: Oh! Alright >:(
