THE SUDDENLY ASLEEP MEME

Options

1. Exhaustion - Maybe you haven't been sleeping well lately, maybe you've had a stressful day at work. Either way, you just can't keep your eyes open, and any surface/person/animal looks comfortable

2. Magic - Maybe you shouldn't have annoyed that wizard! Be it in the middle of a fight, or a time-delay to sometime more inconvenient, you just fall asleep where you stand.

3. Illness - You're sick, and the sickness is draining all your energy. Are you drifting off in bed, or doing something you shouldn't be when under the weather. Maybe you're actually narcoleptic.

4. Drugged - Oh no! I never should have drank those chemicals. Or, perhaps, you've got an enemy with access to weird and exotic poisons, or a vindictive roommate. Maybe you shouldn't have drank the last soda.

5. Boredom - Wow, this mission briefing is really boring, or maybe you can't bear to listen to your friend recounting the one-night fling he had with a botanist in Switzerland. Either way, you're sat there and dozing off in your chair.

6. Drunk - Had one too many? Not enough?

7. Anything else? The more awkward or annoying the better!

[That depends on what you have on you. A sleepy Western town in the middle of no-where, a still-open saloon bar across the way and 1x sheriff, passed out in his chair, snoring lightly.

What to do to kill time, indeed. Not much to do, really. And Isaac isn't going to be stopping many activities.]

[The one thing River's always got with her is a gun. So it looks like it's time for some target practice. She swipes some glasses from the saloon and lines them up behind the sheriff's office.

There's not much she can do to stop the noise, however.]

[And it's the gunfire that wakes the sheriff up, unfortunately where he, disorientated from the lipstick, bursts out of the back door, his own gun drawn but not raised.]

What in the Sam Hill's goin' on out here?!

Well that was short-lived! Perhaps I ought to have given you a higher dose. [She shrugs.] Oh well, I was getting bored anyway. Care for a little target practice, sheriff?

[Firing guns around guys who are supposed to stop people firing guns is a big way to wake them up.

He's just going to stare at River. Wut.]

You haven't answered my question, ma'am. [Because politeness is always a thing, especially when someone is holding a gun.]

Yes I have. It's target practice. See? [She takes careful aim and shoots a glass bottle into pieces. Just for show, she twirls her pistol a bit and blows on the tip of it.] Keeping in shape, that's all.

Now, did you have a nice nap?
