Vanished into the Hands of Darkness (Closed//Stalkers Enabled)

Rose gave him a high five.

Mike gave her a sound high five and continued eating.

Rose went back to eating, wondering when the two sleepyheads would get up.

They got up about an hour later when Mike and Rose finished cleaning the dishes. Emilia walked into the kitchen, yawning and stretching, therefore suggesting she was still half-asleep.

“Hey sleepyhead. How’d you sleep last night?” Rose dried the last dish and put away.

Emilia sat down with a noncommittal grunt as Mike set a plate with food down in front of her.

Rose walked over to the table and took a seat next to her.

Emilia sleepily looked at her and nodded a greeting.

“You should really start waking up earlier, it’s almost noon.”

Emilia yawned again. "I don't think it matters."

“Why doesn’t it matter?”

"Because I don't have school, no job, and life is meaningless anyway." She shrugged as Mike laughed at the counter.

“Then lets go find a job.” Rose smiled.

"No, then I'd have to get up early."

“Come on it will be fun.” Rose stood up.

Emilia shook her head. "No… thanks but I like sleeping."

Rose started to pull on Emilia’s arm. “Come on, you get money.”

"Noooooo I can get sleep. Screw having a job."

“But money.” Rose stretched out the word money.

"But sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep."

“Money, sleep. You can buy sleep with money.”

"No you can't." Emilia gave her a look of disgust.

“Sleep equals bed, in order to buy bed, MONEY.”

"NO! I have a bed already!" Emilia cried to the heavens.

“Money buys food.” She changed her tactic.

"I don't care," Emilia grunted.

“Then you can starve.” Rose took Emilia’s plate of food away.

Emilia blinked blankly at the other. "Alright."

“Then we will get jobs?” Rose held the plate just out of reach.

"I dunno. Never? I don't care if you get one."
