Gajeel, I really don't think this is going to work. If he's going to be here, you'll immediately be exposed as a fraud. Why the extra steps?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

...
*Laughs*
Oh, I thought it was going to be way weirder than that. Well, um, it’s just generally this uncomfortable feeling in your torso area-
*Circles my stomach with my finger*
Or at least, it starts that way. It can eventually start to hurt if it goes on long enough, and it can make you feel weak. If you’ve ever directly felt what it’s like to be low on power or energy, then I’m sure it’s largely the same thing.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Confusion, split the people. Its not just terrorizing, its breaking them apart on their own.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

We don't directly perceive those kinds of things; they're values to us. So it's like pain?

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

I thought you preferred direct solutions.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Hmm. Well, that’s the best way I can describe it. Imagine a feeling of relative strength or weakness being related to those values. The more you eat, the higher the numbers, and if it gets too high or too low, it causes you to feel pain or discomfort until it’s corrected. The more extremely it deviates from that happy medium, the worse you feel.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

I do, but I want to make sure you are in better place than I am.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I do understand what it is and how it works, but the perception of that feeling is what's never been all that clear to me.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Well, that’s exactly it. You’ve felt pain and discomfort before, yeah?

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Definitely. I don't know if they're exactly the same as what you perceive, but I have some kind of equivalence.

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

I am more than capable of holding my own.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Then it might be the closest I can get you to understanding.

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Then this should be no problem.

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

*Ponders for a moment*
You are some manipulator, Gajeel.

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I imagine being sleepy is similar?

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*smiles widely*
Ghehehe! Thank you.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

No, not at all. Instead of pain or weakness, imagine that if you didn’t sleep in intervals that your body needs, your ability to process things slowly gets worse and worse, and in general your body eventually hits a point where it can just start doing less and less in all regards. Also you get this really really strong urge to sleep the more you go without it, to the point it’s very difficult to control when you go long enough. Sleeping involuntarily is a thing that happens.

<Snipped quote by Zeal>

When does the event start?

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

That sounds like some kind of torture. Why do humans brag about it?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Indulging in it feels rewarding. It’s very refreshing to be tired, sleep well, and wake up feeling recharged.
