[It's pretty early in the morning when Sherry sends out her message. She was still trying to really 'get' the network, but it was starting to make sense.]

[Also no one should make fun of her awesome 1998 style username.]

Hi. Good morning. I'm Sherry Birkin. I only arrived here a few days ago so I don't really know anyone yet...

Which I guess makes this a strange question but I-

[There's a pause because of a very audible yawn.]

Oh! Sorry about that. Okay. Does anyone have advice on what to do about getting rid of nightmares? I've never really had them before but they're...pretty bad right now.

If not it's okay. I'm sure I can get used to them.

Thanks though.

[There's another yawn that cuts off midway as she disconnects.]

...No, she wouldn't, I don't think...

[Look, Sherry has spent like her entire life actively not being a bother IT IS A HARD HABIT TO BREAK!]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Head tilt of confusion. ]

Then what's the problem?

[littlemissgvirus]

I shouldn't depend on her for everything though, right?

[serpentinthegarden]

Why not? If you are a kid and she is the adult that's what they are supposed to be there for.

And if you need to get her attention because she isn't listening, act out a little. Throw things, refuse to go to bed, eventually she will get that you need something.

[littlemissgvirus]

I couldn't do that!

[Sherry sounds so horrified.]

[serpentinthegarden]

It's what kids do!

[ Said like he was an authority on that and he sort of was. Warlock had pitched a good tantrum or two in his lifetime, Crowley was proud to say. ]

If you tell her it was because you were scared of these nightmares you won't even get in trouble for it. She will be so concerned for you there won't even be time to think of a punishment.

[littlemissgvirus]

Can I just tell her without breaking things...?

[serpentinthegarden]

I mean, you could... If you think you could speak to her with out it.

[ In which he gives her a light push in that direction even if he says... ]

That's a lot less fun though.

[littlemissgvirus]

I mean, she'd listen.

And there'd be less to clean up.

[serpentinthegarden]

If you want to do it the easy way.
