Despite the Icon, she is worn out looking - VIsual

[usedpartycannon]

[You see a Pinkie slouched over the kitchen counter, as she works her computer which mysteriously has kept running all this time. Dont' ask, it's Pinkie. You hear the "plink plink plink" of things falling and the occasional combo, as she drinks from a giant mug that reads "Kiss me I'm Amish".

Pinkie looks exhausted, her hair matted and frizzled from sleep with bags under her eyes as she continues to work the computer.]

UUUUUGH why did I stay up till 2, this was a mistake...!

[Taking another pull from the coffee, she worked the mouse feverishly for a moment before sighing.]

Match 3 games, you are the devil, and I hope you burn in fire! [A pause] No that's a lie. I can't say that, it's actually untrue. I love match 3 games!

[And she hugs her computer before plinking noises continue. Addicted much? At this, Pinkie turns to the "camera" and states] Don't get addicted to match 3. Seriously.

Haha, addictive games. I guess we could call that another universal constant.

Curse the man who designed bejeweled! [Plink, plink, plink. Pinkie slumped over, groaning.]

I feel HORRIBLE! Like I'm going to die or something, and yet all I want to do is play more.

[Visual]

[namedforcat]

That is rather serious. Maybe you should turn that thing off for a couple of days until you stop seeing icons behind your eyelids.

Re: [Visual]

[usedpartycannon]

I think I have to. I've burnt myself out on the whole thing and I need to sleep.

Sleep for at least a couple of hours, until I get my mind back.

[Visual] - DDR is espeically bad for the seeing icons thing

[namedforcat]

Good idea. Though you may want to put the coffee away if you want to sleep.

Re: [Visual] - yes it is

[usedpartycannon]

Ugh, you have a point. I should just go and nap for a while then, try and clear my head.

[Visual] - Yay repetitive flashing lights

[namedforcat]

If you don't sleep, you could always read a book. They don't flash.

[mostcolorfulepithets]

Pinkie Pie, maybe you should stop playing that for now and get some rest.

Re: [Visual]

[usedpartycannon]

[Plink plink] It's just... so addicting...!

[Visual]

[mostcolorfulepithets]

Please don't. Addictions are actually horrible things.

Re: [Visual]

[usedpartycannon]

Oh I know that, silly! I'm just trying to clear this stage before I go to bed.

[Plink plink.] This is why I usually have fighting games back home, since puzzle games are suuuuper challenging.

[Visual]

[mostcolorfulepithets]

Your computer will still be there when you wake up.

Re: [Visual]

[usedpartycannon]

Awwwww...

[Yawn] I suppose I should get some rest...

[visual]

[strengthinkindness]

Um...Pinkie...? Maybe you should um...get some sleep....?

Re: [visual]

[usedpartycannon]

Well I'm kind of on my third nap already, but I guess I could lay down for a bit...?

[visual]

[strengthinkindness]

Hmm...maybe you should take something longer than just a nap...

Re: [visual]

[usedpartycannon]

Awww but sleeping all day isn't fun.... [pouts a little.]

[visual]

[strengthinkindness]

Well, that's not true...dreams can be pretty fun...

Re: [visual]

[usedpartycannon]

Nnnn yeah, but I wanted to stay up today. Everypony's telling me I should sleep though...

Visual/Action

[wizardofharmony]

A purple glow twinkling with stars forms, becoming almost solid at the top of the laptop's case, before snapping it shut. Then a blanket held with two more magical anchor points floats into view, wrapping itself around Pinkie.

The effect is not unlike a burrito with the top unfolded.

"Pinkie," says someone who sounds like Twilight.

Apparently words fail her: all the rest of what she has to say is -

"Bed."

Re: Visual/Action

[usedpartycannon]

"Awww..." Pouting just a little, Pinkie looks at her weary reflection in a nearby pan and nods. "All right. I've been putting this off longer than I expected."

Getting to her hooves, Pinkie wobbled.

Action

[wizardofharmony]

Lucia walks over, holding up the blanket, and gets in on the bed - patting alongside her for Pinkie.

"Pace yourself. The game saves your progress, does it not?"

Re: Action

[usedpartycannon]

Pinkie climbed up and flopped down on her stomach for a moment before turning over onto her back. "Yeah it does. I'm just really really loving the game right now. I put it aside for so long..."

[wizardofharmony]

"Returning to an old vice like it's a return to the arms of a lover. Yes, I can understand that."

Hers are coffee and 18-hour study sessions, but they still both turn into incoherent hot messes, right?

"How DID you get that working again, by the way?"

[usedpartycannon]

"Yeah, it's a thing. I haven't played in ages so I went all out."

Pinkie shrugged a litle.

"I dunno, my laptop just keeps going. Maybe it refuses to run out of batteries."
