[Darin clears his throat because forget typing all of this out.]

Okay guys, I need you all to settle a bit of an argument Zelda and I are having.

See, we were out shopping for furniture for our new place and she tells me I need a bed. I say "you're right, I do! I know just the type!" So I go and I show her the hammocks because back home, I slept in a hammock. So she says [Darin clears his throat and proceeds to do his best Zelda voice] "Don't be preposterous, a hammock is not a proper bed."

Which is wrong. Because a hammock is totally a bed. Lots of things can be beds. So, to prove my point, I made this chart.



As you can see by this chart that I spent entirely too much time on, the parameters that dictate an objects "bedability" are thus. I think it's a pretty open and shut case.

Anyway, I think this explains why I should be allowed to get a hammock in my room. You guys are on my side on this, right?

[Just...you know. Ignore how he casually dropped that they're living together because he's brain dead.]

I've fallen asleep in my chair while working on something I don't know how many times. Anywhere can be a bed if you're tired enough.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

See thats what Im talking about

Ive fallen asleep on my own anvil at the forge before. When sleep comes you dont keep it waiting

[baymaxing]

I just get distracted. Studying or working on something. I don't always make it to bed. But it's fine. It isn't like I wake up all sore or anything from sleeping in my chair.

[Because he is fourteen. That is why. If he was older, he might more prioritize actually making it to bed.]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Same here! Ive slept at my desk tons of times and Im no worse for wear

You ever fall asleep at your desk and then wake up someplace else? Like you tried to sleepwalk to bed but got sleep-distracted and just dropped someplace else?

[baymaxing]

i think sometimes my brother has carried me to bed when he sees me asleep in my chair? does that count? don't think i've done the sleepwalking thing.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Thats nice but Im talking about when youre so tired your body just kinda moves on its own like it wants to finish whatever youre working on

What kinda work do you do?

[baymaxing]

probably had that happen once or twice. i mostly just end up falling asleep in my chair or bed though.

well, studying at university back home. here it is still a work in progress? tadashi and i might figure something together though. making or repairing stuff maybe?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

You guys repair things? No kidding! I do some of that work myself! I've been trying to really dig into this magitech! Have you had a chance to mess with any of it??

[baymaxing]

we're scientists. grew up inventing stuff. especially robots. but i figure we could maybe help with the tech side of things. the magi-tech is taking some getting used to. i kinda started looking into it a bit.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Oh man! You guys need to come by the forge on Eltrut one day! I would love to pick your brains! Ive been studying this magitech for months!

[baymaxing]

Yeah? Next time we're over at Eltrut I can let you know?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Hell yeah! Dont be shy! You can just drop by if you want!

Hell Ill even give you guys some of the elemental stones Ive been hoarding to mess with. No sense holding all of the good stuff myself

[baymaxing]

elemental stones, huh?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Yeah theyre stones that we found that have elemental charges to them

Ive been experimenting with different combinations and ratios to see what sort of results I can get

[baymaxing]

huh. interesting. i can see how that might be neat and potentially useful. i can let you know when we're next in the area and you can show me sometime.
