Rory wandered in earlier than usual in spite of what time this post is actually going up, and curled up at the desk with a notebook full of handwritten, highlighted notes as well as her laptop.

Aeryn frowns and says, "I've never had one."

Rory looks shocked. "This will be amended."

"Um, I'm not sure that's really necessary," she says quickly.

"It's one of those things where you have to have at least one!" she insists.

"Why?"

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Because it's fun."

"What exactly is it?" She's heard of it, but never even witnessed it. No, not even with John.

"When you have too much sugar and you're really, really hyper," she explains.

"I'm not sure I need that."

"It's fun," she repeats. "Like coffee but more manic."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

"Coffee's never had that sort of effect on me," Aeryn says. "It's good for a start, but I don't think I've ever been hyper."

"I have an immunity," Rory says.

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

"You can have an immunity to it?"

"I built one up," she says.

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

"On purpose?"

"No, it's just what happens after drinking it for the last thirteen years or so."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

Aeryn kind of stares at her. "You've been drinking stimulant for thirteen years?"

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory nods like there's nothing wrong with that.

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

"Do you shake all the time?" Aeryn asks, curiously.

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Nope," she says. "But I get awful headaches if I don't have any caffeine."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

"Withdrawal symptoms do make sense after thirteen years..." she nods.

"My mom's worse," she says. "She's been drinking it even longer."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

[can_be_more]

"I don't even think I'd be able to do it as long as you have," she says. "I tend to only have it when I really need it. Which is rare."

Re: Period 4 [02/09]

"It's as much a part of my day as showering or feeding Vladdie," Rory says, shrugging.

"And this is common?" Aeryn asks. There are still things she doesn't know, believe it or not.
