Absolutely adore the answers to all these questions so far, omg *^*
The sleep hygiene in this group is abysmal </3 already know these pirates would be doomscrolling before bed if they could

Amy
Oh god, having Urchin trip over you would hurt so bad </3 poor Cassy. It's a good thing Ava is protected by being under Cassy's wing.
Sleeping underneath a dragon's wing sounds so peaceful, lowkey.

Vah
This checks out for Quill LMAO. Can definitely see him just working to exhaustion all the time and then passing out as soon as he's got some peace and quiet. He lowkey has the vibes he's overestimated how long he can stay awake and has fallen asleep riding Vel before 😭


Reaper
Stardust is unfairly cute, I can't get over it. Sounds like the perfect weighted, feathery blanket, 10/10, I don't see Mylo's problem.

Lackadaisy
The clinginess continues, omg. With the answers so far it looks like Dallas might have a hard time finding someone to sleep on, though </3 poor guy.


Right, I suppose I should answer my own questions too. One set of Urchin and Vasilios questions coming right up.

How do they like to sleep?
Vasilios can sleep just about anywhere, though his current preference is in his room above his office. It allows him to be woken up if anything severe happens or if someone comes back seriously injured. He and Urchin sleep in the same room - though she likes to sleep up in the rafters above him and has made herself some sort of 'nest' out of sheets and blankets she's acquired [mostly from the beds of the other pirates].

Vasilios likes to sleep on his side or on his front, usually with a pillow pulled up under his head. His arms are uncomfortable to sleep on, so finding a comfortable position can be tricky - he'll usually take one of his arms off before going to bed. [Yes, this often means he wakes up to that arm being nicked by Stardust or Urchin, or any of the playfully inclined dragons,]

What type of dreams do they both have?
Vasilios is prone to having vivid and obscure dreams. They're weird, fantastical, and often a smidge unsettling. He's happy to tell people about them if they ask, as they are completely nonsensical - proper 'fever-dream' quality. He suffers from frequent sleep paralysis, especially when waking up - hence his relatively strict routine.

Urchin, on the other hand, does not dream. Vasilios isn't even sure if she actually sleeps or is just pretending to.

Are they a night owl or early bird?
As Urchin sticks quite closley to Vasilios's schedule, they're both early birds. Vasilios has a strict routine of when he gets up and goes to bed. He's usually up early enough to say goodnight to all the late-nighters and sleep-deprived. Usually, he gets up at 05:30, though if he happens to get woken up before then, say between 3 and 4, he'll just get up then too.

Whilst he may get up early, this doesn't mean he's the most functional when he first wakes up. If you were to try and speak to him after he's just woken up, you're unlikely to get more than a grunt. He tends to wake up during the process of making coffee, something he does as soon as he wakes up every morning. If there's anyone else up, he'll make coffee for them too.

Urchin gets up whenever Vas does. Luckily they're both relatively quiet in the mornings and can avoid waking up their crew members who are still asleep.

How easily do they fall asleep?
Vasilios falls asleep relatively easy once he's managed to find a comfortable position. He can even fall asleep on Urchin if it's around the time he tends to go to sleep anyway.

Are they comfortable sleeping around other people?
Sort of. Vasilios has no issue with sleeping around his crew, strangers, anyone to be honest, especially if Urchin is with him. He's not in constant fear that he'll get killed or robbed in his sleep or anything. However, due to his tendancy to dream vividly, shuffle around a lot, and y'know,,sleep paralysis, he tends to avoid sleeping around other people in order to not disturb them.

Urchin doesn't care. With all those spines, which puff out when she's resting or sleeping, she's pretty safe. She's also a very light sleeper and wakes up when anything is going on nearby. Urchin would happily sleep in a room full of people.

Do they have a night time routine?
Yes, yes he does. Urchin usually tags along for this too as,,, well, she's got nothing better to do. Keeping to a strict routine and getting a sufficient amount of sleep reduces Vasilios's chance of sleep paralysis, so he takes it quite seriously. He tends to go to sleep between 21:00 and 22:00, quite a bit earlier than a lot of the crew. He starts by cleaning up and closing his office, checking over his supplies and cleaning up after any daily chaos - if anyone is currently injured, he'll check in on them one last time too. After that it's loosely braiding his hair, face mask, brushing his teeth, washing said face mask off, heading back to his room. Earplugs, eye mask, the whole deal, and then straight to sleep.

There's a flowchart stuck to the medical office door titled 'Can I wake Vasilios up?' which walks through several scenarios and whether they're serious enough to wake him up.

Urchin tends to follow Vasilios around through all of this, though may sometimes stray and wander around the rest of the ship or base camp whilst he sleeps.

How well do they function when they're tired?
Vasilios's already short temper gets even shorter when he's lacking sleep, so safe to say: Not well.
He'll take a nap during the day if he has the chance, though this is guaranteed sleep paralysis.

Urchin has never showed a single sign of tiredness or sleep deprivation. Regardless of if they sleep or not, she always acts the same, hence why Vasilios is beginning to question if she actually sleeps at all.

You guys will never escape the length of my posts I'm sorry. Have a TL:DR; of my questions.

Vasilios is a side sleeper, Urchin likes to sleep in a nest of stolen blankets.
Vasilios has weird, vivid dreams and also is a frequent sufferer of sleep paralysis.
Both are early birds as Urchin sticks to Vas's schedule, they're up at 5am.
Both of them fall asleep relatively easy.
Neither of them care about sleeping around other people, though Vas usually sleeps on his own as he's aware his disrupted sleep can disturb others. He has a strict night time routine that Urchin tends to follow him around for. He's also a skin care girlie.
Mans is even grumpier when he's tired annnnd Urchin acts the same to the point where it's questionable if she even sleep at all.

I'M--
Nyota dreams of setting people on fire-?? Oh my god LMAO.

I'm way to lazy to read all the pages😭😭

I can do a summary it's okay it's okay-- I'll find the last page you were on LOL

Ambrose likes to sleep in high places. He likes to able to see everything before he goes to sleep. It also helps to sleep high when there's danger, being able to see everything has its perks.

Shai likes to sleep curled up around Ambrose, other people, or even other dragons if they let him.

Ambrose definitly dreams of fighting. The dude's an instigator at heart and it carries over into his dreams.

Shai, on the other hand, is the one that doesn't dream. His nights are quiet and blank.

Ambrose is an early bird, and he's not afraid to wake anyone else up if he's bored. Being an early riser was ingrained into him from his home planet, so sleeping in was never an option.

Shai is a weirdo. He'll be up early in the morning and he'll be awake all hours of the night. He could be awake at 5am one day and seen creeping around at 2am another.

Ambrose can't fall asleep right away. It usually takes a bit for him to finally be able to close his eyes and pass out.

Shai can fall asleep at anytime and anyplace. He's fallen asleep leaning against the kitchen cabinets in broad daylight, he's fallen asleep on a common room couch, heck he's even fallen asleep on Ambrose mid-flight. If he can fall asleep he will.

Ambrose isn't a fan about sleeping around other people. He can sleep in the same room, but only if he's given a wide berth or somewhere up high.

Shai has no issue with sleeping around other people, mainly becasue he knows Ambrose will have his back if need be.

Ambrose has no routine, he'll just stare at Shai as he does his.

Shai doesn't have a bedtime routine per say, but he can be found wandering the halls and checking on everyone else while they sleep. Sometimes he can find a buddy to stay up with, othertimes he gives a little head nod to the sleeping pairs.

Ambrose gets more bitey and fighty. He's more likely to get in a fight when he's tired more often than not.

Shai is 50/50. He'll either pass out on the spot or he'll turn into a gold fish on drugs. No brain and 100% chaos and bad ideas.

Summary from page 51 to page 62, for anyone who needs it!


We had a quiet day on 53, so I woke everyone up with some questions to answer for their pirates, these can be found near the top of page 53.

We got answers from characters Dallas [Lackadaisy], Charlie [Acerbus], Shai [Mirko], Vasilios [Eternity], Mylo [The Reaper] and Quill [Zeraphia]. Most of pages 53 to 55 was discussing these questions and the answers people gave.
Amygdala also answered these questions a little later in the middle of page 56!

Acerbus asked the question if the dragons could talk or not and we also discussed this, deciding that it was up to the user whether their dragon could talk or not, this is what people decided:

Urchin [Eternity] cannot talk, however can mentally communicate brief words, thoughts and feelings to people. They can only 'speak' in broken sentences, usually just a word or two like 'Hungry'.

Velyran [Zeraphia] is completely mute and doesn't speak or make any noise.

Java [Lackadaisy] cannot speak human, but Dallas can speak dragon! Well, the same dragon language as Java, anyway.

Halcyon [Acerbus] is similar to Urchin, he can speak to minds in short sentences and emotions.

Briefly, we joked about Stardust [The Reaper] talking like the dog from Up.

Cassiopeia [Amygdala] can communicate her feelings but not words and is pretty catlike. In extreme situations she can yell things like 'Danger' but this has only happened once.

At the bottom of page 56, Vah asked some questions for the dragons, asking about how well they got along with their pirate and the other dragons.
On page 57, these questions were answered by Lackadaisy, Eternity, Acerbus and Mirko.

Acerbus asked some more questions to the pirates about who they trust in the crew, habits they have and reckless decisions they've made.
These questions were answered on page 58 by Lackadaisy, Mirko, Acerbus, Eternity. Zeraphia answered both sets of questions on page 59.

Acerbus also drew this awesome piece of Halcyon and Urchin on page 58, as it was established that Halcyon is both intruiged and confused by Urchin.

Continuing on page 59, we discussed some angst from Quill's past and Vah wrote this piece about Quill getting too focused in persuit of someone from his past and being reckless.
We talked a lil about this.

Then, I asked some more questions to our pirates and dragons, specifically about sleep. These can be found in the middle of page 61.

Annnd people have been answering those questions! :D

That should be it, basically it's a lotta lotta questions!

Ooo interesting okay cool!! Thanks :D

Hehe

it's so much fun to learn about the different characters and stuff. I absolutely love it.
