Oh...I'm not sure exactly what it does...he said..it might keep me alive...

:she blinked, looking at Raven's bags incredulously:

How can you manage to move all that by yourself? With what you just said, it must weigh a ton.

"People don't call me jack for nothing; I'm much stronger than I look."

her mind pondered over her words about the globe; She decided she'd definitely have to take a look at it.

"Keep you alive? From what? Why would you need an enchanted snow globe to keep you alive?"

I....have a condition. I can't control when or how long I sleep....sometimes I can't sleep for days, others I fall asleep while walking....I've been told...if I ever fall too deeply asleep....I...p-probably won't wake up...the snowglobe is supposed to prevent that....or so the boy told me...

:her brow furrowed, turning to look at Raven more directly:

What do you mean "enchanted"? Like magic?

"Exactly like magic probably have something similar somewhere in this little book."

she again pulled it from her pocket Sandy's words reminding her somewhat of herself.

"I have sleeping problems myself; I can fall asleep I just can't stay asleep; a subtle breeze can wake me up so I usually end up getting ten minutes at a time using coffee and the fifth spell in this book to keep me energized & alive."

She sighed slightly.

"Maybe that's why we're roomies huh? Gather the sleepless girls in one place."

:she giggled, nodding:

Maybe so we won't bother anyone who sleeps like a normal person.

:a small frown as she considered what Raven said:

Do you know why...you wake up so easily?

"I can't forget anything. Every time I close my eyes or start to dream the darkest things I've every experienced pop into my head I've never had anything but, nightmares I guess when your mind's under so much stress in sleep one more ounce would be enough to wake anyone."

She sighed shuddering slightly opening her bag and beginning to put some of her clothes into an empty nearby dresser.

:Sandy went quiet for a while, a sad expression on her face. That sounds so much like me... She turned and hefted one of the other suitcases up onto the bed, gasping from the weight:

What...do you have in this one? A bowling ball collection?

"That one's my computer."

she said moving to help Sandy as best she could; the bag was quite heavy as her computer wasn't a very small machine.

"If I didn't have my magic I'd probably have died a long time ago from exhaustion."
