a knock woke otto up in the middle of the night. he was used to these disturbances, being someone who advertised himself as 'open to all, twenty-four seven', but it still shook him when people took him up on his offer. groggy, he got himself up and slipped some shoes on, ready to offer his couch to whoever was out there. as he opened his door, though, he saw someone who looked dead on their feet.

"finn?" otto asked with a yawn. finn was staying in town over the summer, as anywhere else seemed too hot and he wouldn't have to pay rent here, otto recalled as he rubbed his eyes, wondering why finn was here instead of sleeping. "you have a tent and a sleeping bag, why are you here and not at your place?"

"i.. i can't sleep? i've been having nightmares again, and i know you said you were open anytime, and i guess i took that for granted? i knew i shouldn't have woken you up. i just wondered if you knew any cures... i'll just-" finn was cut off by otto holding his hand up.

"i told you i'm here whenever you need me. that includes two am unable to sleep times." otto moved to the couch to drape a jacket on before heading back to the door, gently guiding finn out and closing the door behind himself. "how do you feel about running?"

"it's fine?"

"then let's go. it'll wear you out and you can pass out on my couch or we can stop by your tent on the way back."

finn didn't have a chance to reply before otto started walking away, his speed steadily increasing. finn followed closely behind, having to start running sooner because of his shorter stature. soon the two were running through the woods east, to the river, where they took a brief break with no words before continuing along the trail. it was dark, but even so the moonlight shining through the branches overhead was enough to light their way, and it wasn't an uncomfortable run.

otto slowed down after a bit and let finn take the lead to make the final decision of the night. he happily moved towards the open field where most drifters set up camp, far enough away from each other that their very early morning run wouldn't disturb anyone, and otto stayed with him until they made it back to his tent. stopping finally, it really did set in how tired he was, and he could barely get out a 'thank you, goodnight' before heading into his tent to pass out.

otto continued his run home, where he also passed out, and the next morning he was greeted by a thank you card with a wrapped up muffin on his doorstep.

“Melinda? What’s wrong?” said the raven between two yawns, holding the front door open.

Melinda stood before him a bit sheepishly, rubbing her eyes. “It’s one of those dreams again…” she mumbled.
Victor knew perfectly well what dreams she’s referring to. He went through them as well when he first came to the then-abandoned Nevermoor.
It’s somewhat of a lucid dream, yet the only thing she’s in control over is what she says. It always starts out by her standing in a dark room with walls that look like vines, moving like worms in black, oily mud. After a short time, a circle of shadowy figures with white eyes would emerge from the ground, surrounding her and whispering things she never understands. The dream would just keep on going like this until she wakes up.
"It's been like a week now..." she said, "Is there a way to... you know, make it stop?"

"Alright, look." he sighed. "I know how you feel about them, Linda, I went through the same thing when I came here. But you know the only thing that'll stop these is introducing yourself and talking to them. You know, getting to know each other a bit."

"Yes, I know, you said so, but... whenever I see them I just... I can't, Vic'! They're just too scary and creepy!"

The raven let out a giggle. "They always are at first! But believe me, once you get to know them you won't find them scary at all. Especially▝ ▙ ▞ ▛ ▞, he's honestly the nicest one of them!"

Melinda wasn't sure what the noise that left her friend's beak was.

Noticing her rather confused stare, Victor just waved his wing saying she'll find out soon.
"Trust me on this, Mels. They really aren't here to hurt you."

The two fell silent for a short moment before the deer spoke up again.
"What are they anyway?"

"Well..." stammered Vincent, "I... honestly don't know."
He saw the uncertainty on his friends face so he quickly added: "But they've been for a long time now! They told me they were protecting Nevermoor and its citizens."

"Wait, you can understand them?!"

"I'm the mayor, Mels!" the raven laughed, "And for some reason, I can understand them just like I can understand you or anyone else."

Melinda thought about it for a moment. If what he said was true, then there really can't be any harm in trying to at least look at them, right?
Sighing, she said goodnight to her friend and promised him that she'll try and get to know these "protectors of Nevermoor", whatever they may be. And she'd be lying if she said she didn't want to find out what they are.

prompt: Dear Joyce,
So sorry to hear you've been having nightmares and haven't been sleeping! Being tired is the worst ~ I myself have struggled with sleep in the past and I have a few suggestions that might help! One of the number one things that helps for me is drinking tea before bed, cinnamon or peach are my personal favorites but chamomile is great for sleep! You also grow chamomile in your garden, don't you? Another thing that I like is going for a walk, the cool night air usually helps me relax if I'm awake because I'm stressing about something, but if you like to run you can always go for a nighttime jog! When I wake up in the middle of the night with a nightmare, I first ground myself. I try to list one thing I can see, one thing I can touch and one thing I can smell, after that I find that meditation is a great way to calm down and make yourself sleepy again. Anyways I hope some of these things help, and hope to hear back from you soon about what you found most helpful!
Take care,
Your friend briarsong

Sleepy Brook
name:
Granger
gender:
Male
prompt:
A few weeks ago, a new animal moved into the cozy quiet of Sleepy Brook, Mayor Violet Sleepy's own town. She went to the train station to greet him and give him the best Sleepy Brook welcome she could offer, as she did to all the animals in her town. He seemed nice but rather tired like her, so she felt she would get along quite well with him. She, however, did not get to see him quite often due to her duties. Fast forward, Granger's neighbor sent in a letter to the mayor's office, stating that he worried about the deer.

"I sometimes hear a yell from his home at night, and he always seems to be falling asleep standing up! I think he is having trouble falling and staying asleep Miss Sleepy. Maybe you could offer advice since you can sleep almost anywhere?" Violet was flattered by this notion and went straight to work on a letter for Granger.

Dear Granger,

It has come to my attention that you aren't sleeping well through the night. The townsfolk are concerned for you, and I am as well. Luckily, you have ended up in Sleepy Brook, one of the most tranquil towns around! I'm sure you have noticed I often fall asleep and stay asleep. I can fall asleep at my desk, on a bench, in the fields, etc. anywhere can be a nice place to take a peaceful nap! People say they've heard you up at night sounding panicked. I'm assuming these are nightmares, which I have been plagued with too. I hope you don't mind, but I want to list some tips for combatting them:
1. When you wake in a panic, ground yourself! Try to sleep with various fabrics and even a comfort item like a stuffed toy. When you wake up, instantly grab it and feel the fabric around you. Take deep breaths, and focus on what you're holding. Rub your fingers across it, squeeze it, whatever you would like. This can help bring you back to the real world!
2. Try sleeping with lavender and vanilla scents around your room for when you wake up! These are very calming and can help bring a sense of peace after a nightmare.
3. Don't be afraid to get up and do something that makes you happy to get your mind off of it! Anything relaxing. A bath can be nice.
4. Dream journals can be very helpful for nightmares! You can awaken and write about your dreams, especially the good ones, and look back on them to take your mind off your nightmares. I'll send you one with this letter!
5. Don't be afraid to phone a friend. Some of your neighbors are nocturnal, and even I stay up very late at night. Please don't hesitate to call. I can be right over and we can watch some movies too if it helps get your mind off of it!

Take care,
Violet Sleepy
