Flutter Disaster [visual]

[hattrickery]

When Hayate appears on the scroll, she looks terrible. Her hair is even more of a spiky mess than usual, there are bags under her eyes, and most tellingly of all, her wings don't look obsessively preened - there are three feathers out of alignment. She opens her mouth to speak and is interrupted by a jaw-cracking yawn, which prompts her to grab what appears to be a tall Pumpkin Spice Latte from the local Starbucks and toss down the entire thing in one gulp before throwing the empty cup over her back to land on a massive pyramid of discarded coffee cups.

"So, uh, guys? That...that, y'know, the thingie where...where people were fallin' asleepy an' not wakin' upppp...."

A slight pause as she almost nods off mid-sentence before jerking awake and slamming down another PSL.

"Is...izzit over? C'n I go beddy now?"

When you get some sleep, you should go ask Bonnie out for a night. Have some fun!

Stilll...staring blankly.

Please hold, load from disc error.

"...hey Lyra! When'd...when'd y'show up?"

[humanesqueheartstrings]

"... a while ago. You need some sleep."

Yeah she lost it. What was the days to stay up max? 3? Before you're declared legally insane?

Frankly it's probably only the fact that Hayate's...you know, immortal, that's keeping her...semi-lucid, instead of gibbering nonsense about lizard-ponies from Mares out to steal her thoughts.

"Y'sure? It's safe?"

"Definitely. Princess Luna solved everything. We'll be fine. Go ahead and get some rest."
