(September Summary/OTA) - TO SLEEP, PERCHANCE TO DREAM

[conning]

It's been a year. He's been here a year. He's not sure how to feel about that. He keeps himself busy fixing up Bonnie's, discovering in the process that Macaroni the cat seems to have gone with Jeff, wherever Jeff went. Working his shifts, investigating the injuries coming from Dogtown, learning about the strange path that's so easy to lose and not chancing the risk of finding it himself. Cooking for the homeless, keeping up the rounds he started with Kugrash in the months after he arrived.

He's been here a year.

When the rumors of music start to circulate, Neal at first keeps his distance from the graveyards. He doesn't want a repeat of last year. He warns everyone he knows wasn't present, shares everything up to and including his own dream-based deaths, though not the details thereof. He's on high alert for any sleepwalkers, yanking people out of danger and shaking them awake whenever he spots trouble.

But eventually, inevitably, the music catches him, too.

And god, he's tired.

He's so tired.

He's tired to his bones, to his soul.

He's tired enough start drifting in the middle of the day, putting himself in harm's way. Eventually, near the end of the month, he finds a bench near one of the graveyards, sits down, and then lies down, closing his eyes onto nightmares.

[Feel free to either save him, find him falling asleep, or have him save one of your folks! Or hit me with something else entirely--he'll be working on the wiring at Bonnie's in-between doing his ADI stuff.]
