"The NatPack Sleeps"
by Lynn Stapleton w/ the NatPack

Timeline: Shortly after the NatPack takes to the Happy Souvlaki for food.

As the War passed by, and we seemed to be stuck on Friday 13th for no sane
reason, some of the Pack that have been rather tired due to that
unfortunate thing called "Real Life". So to solve that rather unique
problem, we decided that the best resource would be to sleep. In various
spots on Nat's couch, on the floor, people found spots to fall into
slumber. 

Tina lay sprawled over an overly cushioned chair. In the corner, Dawn had
taken to sleeping curled up under a blanket, using a pillow to cushion her
head. Valerie had gotten into some unique position whilst sleeping that I
still cannot fathom. Jennie and Amy found some spare blankets in Nat's
hall closet, and went into the bedroom in search of comfort of a cozy
bed...only to find Betsy, in her sick and injured state, along with
Maureen had already been fast asleep. So they took the next best
thing...the plushly carpeted floor. 

In the living room, the now-empty four-litre container of Ben & Jerry's
Heavenly Hash ice-cream and various other cartons of different flavours
lay on the coffee table...well, partially, since Kim figured it was a flat
surface, and could be used for other purposes. Judy was propped up against
the stereo speakers, her head sort of leaning to the side against a
propped up cushion. Linda Pierce and found Nat's cat Sydney, and had the
cat tucked up next to her as she slept in yet another corner. 

I lay in another corner with some more blankets snugly wrapped around her.
I fitfully dreamt of a certain red-headed bard that I'd seen on TV a few
nights ago...and how said bard could pretty much talk her way out of any
unpleasant circumstance. Then my dreams turned to our venture over at the
Happy Souvlaki Deli...yet another similarity with said bard -- an
insatiable appetite for food...of course, that also happens to be a Pack
trait, too. 

Sometime later, no one really knew when as the DAMN clocks were still
still not functioning properly, members of the Pack revived from their
slumber. A few bodies who seemed to crave more food sought out the
remainder of Ben & Jerry's that they figured must have been put into the
deep freeze. Certainly the Pack couldn't be left without such an important
part of their diets. 

Tina stuck her head up out of the blankets. "Where's the All-JetC tape?, I
thought I took it out of my bag last night." 

Amy looked around for a second before remembering it was still in the VCR
from the previous night's -- or what would have been last night if the
timeline were actually moving somewhere -- viewing.. Since Amy hadn't
quite woken up yet, her response was to point at the bag next to the tv.
Tina looked at Valerie and Lynn for translation, as her signing was
*temporarily* limited. 

Valerie replied with, "Over there in the bag."

"Ah," Tina responded then went to get said prized possession.

"So, what are we going to do next?" Jennie asked.

"Well I think some of us are going on a sight-seeing tour. Who wants in?" 
Dawn asked. Jill began to take down names of possible adventurers.
