[Log] Tired of Sleeping (open, one closed prompt)
Who: Meredith and Y'all
When: Early half of October
Where: Apartment B1, ADI Offices, a cafe in town
Summary: Meredith dealing with sleepy-song related brain-fog, getting frustrated with herself
Warnings: Minor memory loss/brain fog, may lead into discussion of self-esteem, perfectionism and disability issues.
1. The Bird on the String is Hanging (Closed, B1)
Meredith left three, almost four hours ago to go do the groceries. Any attempts to text her while she's out may lead to the discovery that she left her phone near the french press, which she failed to clean out this morning. It's not like her, really it's not.
And now she's finally back, but what she lays out on the kitchen counter are hardly really groceries. To wit: a tub of caramel popcorn, a bag of Halloween candy, one whole frozen turkey and a single box of cereal. Even she seems confused by what's sitting there before her, staring at the turkey as if it'll explain itself.
2. Clean, Quilted Heart (Open, ADI Offices)
It's slowly getting worse, the slip-ups, the moments when her mind stutters and exhaustion makes the decisions for her. Perhaps the worst incident comes on a workday, when Meredith shows up to the ADI office not only without makeup, but still in her pajamas. She looks...sloppy. It's not like her, given her usual attention to appearances, her need to be just so.
But she's torn between going home to change and just riding out the day. "Perhaps I need to just keep an emergency change of clothes here at the office."
It's a lighthearted comment, but she feels almost as bad as if she'd walked out without any pants on.
3. I Wonder When I'll Be Waking (Open, Cafe in Town)
Coffee solves a lot of ills, right? Meredith's at a cafe out in town, trying to deal with her exhaustion in the way that tastes best. But she's been staring blearily at the menu, holding up the line for several minutes. Perhaps she might need a rescue or someone to just say 'a coffee, please' on her behalf, because between the frappe-machi-mocha-cinos, she's totally lost the plot.

Well... if you want to talk shit about him, I'm told I'm amazing at it. He certainly sounds like a prick. Those egocentric rich assholes are at least very easy to butter up.
My old boss was a fucking moron.

[She catches what she'd said and grimaces.]
I mean he's a bad guy, that's all.
no subject
What'd yours do? Like, crime wise.
no subject
[But she sighs heavily.]
...domestic terrorism, attacking superheroes, you know.
no subject
[She's a villain, technically. According to the codex back home, she's been declared one since she was arrested.]
Is that why you hate him? Or is he just a dickhead boss?
no subject
I'm the only one who works for him who's aware of his other identity. Which means it's important for me to continue to remain useful enough for that to outweigh the risk he perceives, from me knowing.
And being useful to him means dealing with him being a dickhead.

...My boss was moonlighting as a school principal, but at least I didn't have to deal with him directly all that much. Does he at least pay you well?
