[Dave can be found napping under a tree for the first part of training, just chilling out and catching up on some sleep. He figures he's required to be present, they never said anything about being awake the entire time. He'll start training near the tail end of training.]

[heavenly_earth]

[A shadow looms over Dave for several minutes, waiting to see if it would wake him. Failing that, Neji crouches down to grasp his shoulder]

[beatdownremix]

[Shadows do nothing, you can't be napping in a public place and jump at every little shadow. Dave had to learn that once he started taking these little naps. But the hand wakes him up instantly, body tensing for a moment before recognition sets in and he relaxes again.]

Hey. Sup? Didn't miss anything important did I?

[heavenly_earth]

[With a faint smile, Neji removes his hand]

No, I just came to ask you about John. I haven't seen him, and wondered about his recovery.

[beatdownremix]

Loss of friends aside, he's been doing pretty good. Despite coming off as a total hopeless derp half the time he's pretty damned resilient when it comes to bouncing back.

[Because both of them had been sulking around for a bit after Rose left. He still needed to tell people about that too, if someone else hadn't beat him to it. He just didn't want to think about it so soon after Hal left.]

[heavenly_earth]

[He nods]

I see. In that case, I won't worry about him too much. How are you faring with your new Zone Leaders so far?

[beatdownremix]

Yeah man, you've got enough things on your plate to worry about Egbert. Leave that to me if and when it's necessary.

[His new Zone leaders? Aside from his personal amusement...]

They seem pretty chill to me. To be honest, I kind of wanted to try the whole deputy thing myself but figured cause of still technically being new here that I'd have to wait a bit longer so I didn't bother bringing it up yet.

[heavenly_earth]

I'll do that, then.

[As for Dave's interest in Deputy Zone Leadership..]

Well, we're missing three deputies at the moment. I know there's one other person that may be interested, as well. The scheduling is frail right now, but when we get a few more people in to cover further changes, I'll be certain to contact you.

[beatdownremix]

Alright, cool. If you need me once we get things straightened out hit me up whenever.

[He looks pleased with this answer, he didn't honestly think he'd have a chance because there were others who'd been around longer, but obviously that didn't count when people refuse to join.]

Has anything else interesting been going on?

[heavenly_earth]

[That Dave is paired certainly helps his case]

We still have to keep an eye out for suspicious activity and quell the lingering hostilities, but further than that, I plan to hold a general meeting at the office soon to allow everyone to acquaint themselves with their new leaders and assigned districts. Hopefully everything will begin to run smoothly again from there.

[beatdownremix]

Hopefully being the keyword there. Even I've noticed in this period of time that BREW sucks when it comes to the reliability factor, which is kind of a bad thing for a war.

[But there's nothing they can do but hope, which really doesn't inspire much hope at all, but he's faced worse odds.]

A get together sounds pretty cool. Is it just going to be like, some formal meet and greet thing or could we throw a mini "welcome new leaders and a job well done so far" party?

[heavenly_earth]

Yes, it's unfortunate that BREW seems particularly fond of breaking pairs.

[But while frustrating, there's nothing they can do about that]

We should probably save the party until after we've caught those that coordinated the attacks, but there will of course, be refreshments available. We can't afford to lose focus just yet.

[Hi, Dave, have a best bro flopping down next to you, letting out a puff of air.]

You know, if you actually slept at night you wouldn't need to sleep during training.

[beatdownremix]

[That gets him to wake up at least.]

Nah, sleeping at night's overrated. Nothing wrong with getting a few hours in the morning.

[pranksterheir]

You'd probably be able to train better if you got a good night's rest.

[beatdownremix]

[He shrugs, not really seeing the problem himself but he knows why John's worried.]

Good night's rest is overrated, even back home I only averaged maybe five hours tops on most days.

[pranksterheir]

That's not a good thing, Dave.

[beatdownremix]

Well, maybe not to some people but it's all I've ever needed.

[Sleeps never really been a big thing to him in the first place, naps throughout the day in the hot weather were always enough to keep him going before.]

[pranksterheir]

Your brain needs to rest to recharge, I am pretty sure. A few naps doesn't really work - you need deep sleep. Do you ever dream? You're supposed to dream.

[beatdownremix]

I dream all the time, lot more than I'd like to.

[Mostly nightmares, but John doesn't need to know that.]

Dude, you never rode my ass about my sleeping patterns before it's chill. I got this, don't worry.

[pranksterheir]

That's because I didn't think you'd be keeping it up for more than a week!

[beatdownremix]

More like my whole life? It's kinda no big deal. Like, six hours sleep would be totally weird as all hell for me.

[pranksterheir]

Six hours is what you're supposed to get.
