[If you're interested in harassing Hershel here's what he'll be doing:
a) Asking people if they want laundry done. Not unmentionables, he's not some sort of cad here, but he's got shit all to do, can't sleep and might as well do something useful, right? Right. Feel free to find him near the stream, trying not to nod off since getting shocked in the water probably wasn't the best idea in the world. Possibly. Or trying to mend tears or something and making a mess of it. He'll never be a proper old maid at this rate.
b) Trying to play videogames maybe? And by 'play' I mean 'make faces at as they get steadily worse.' He might try a movie or two in the vain hope something will be manageable to watch but yeah. Yeah. Basically any late night lounge activity, assuming no one's already asleep in there, have at.
c) These are hard to think of, I guess trying to fencing practice in the gym with his shiny new foil, curtesy of Mr. Sasuke Sagami. Try not to get accidentally jabbed by a giant needle with a blunt bit on the end, it probably sucks.
Or whatever, do whatever you'd like. He'll basically be wandering around aimlessly mostly anyway, being completely useless to everyone because he's tired.]

How Hershel ended up on the ground is just great- he had been walking along, minding his own business when he made the foolish mistake of taking a seat and trying to read for a while. It wasn't long until he started falling asleep and got zapped, which was a painful, bullshit experience. The genius that he was, and since no one was around he just stayed where he was for a while, eyes shut tightly and trying to clear the buzzing feeling from his limbs so he could get up and go about his day some more. Being dead tired made that recovery time a bit longer than he wanted to admit, and maybe lying down for a spell would be fine, right? If he didn't fall asleep again.
And if he didn't miss fucking Jake walking around like an idiot. His eyes flew open when Jake started to trip over him, staring in shocked horror as Jake probably just slow mo-ed down.]
Oof- [Is basically all Jake gets, because boy, that knocked the wind out of him. He's just going to wheeze a moment, completely bamboozled by what the fuck just happened.]
i've waited forever to use that icon
[ He didn't walk around like an idiot. Hershel was the one lying spread out like an idiot in the middle of the Garden. This is the worst. Jake just pushes himself up and shakes his hands, since reflexes kicked in and he managed to not smash his face onto the ground. When he sits back, he just gives an annoyed look towards Hershel like he didn't do anything wrong here. ]
What are you doing?
no subject
Um... [He's dazed, give him a break. For a minute he honestly couldn't remember what the hell he had been doing on the floor, and when he does he turns a bit red because okay, he's an idiot. Jake's an idiot too though so eat shit.] Resting.
[He sits up, looking Jake over in, shock of shocks, concern.] Are you alright? Even scraping your knees here is a bit of a hassle.
no subject
In the middle of the field? [ don't sensible people find corners or trees to sleep in instead? ] I should be asking you that. You're the one who was nearly crushed.
[ did he accidentally elbow drop you, or kick out your heart or something ]
no subject
Well, I didn't realize anyone had come in. [was that even an answer.] I'm fine, I think. You weigh a bloody ton though.
[how impolite??? shut up he's tired give him a break. and he stands, swaying but jake can't see that haha this is the best.] I see you've been venturing out of the garden at least, how's it been? [you know, with the shit eyes.]
no subject
Muscles weigh more than fat, you know, so thanks. [ whether that's true or not, who cares, let him be a cocky asshole so sway all you want, he's going to remain seated for now ] Fine. It's just like walking out at night.
[ just a pitch dark night where he can't see shit... ] But what're you doing up?
no subject
I don't remember night here being completely pitchblack. [ha, called you out idiot, now what. and he pauses a moment, debating it before deciding he might as well tell jake now rather than risk him being annoyed later.]
Whenever I try to sleep Zero wakes me up- suppose that's the long awaited punishment. [he shrugs, since jake can totally see that!! good input, hal.] It's very annoying.
no subject
It's practically pitchblack once you turn off the power. [ the survivor event, that recent zero one... but yes, it is better to tell him now so he doesn't find out later and get really upset about it. he leans forward. ] Wakes you up? How?
no subject
ˈɡäbəldēˌɡo͞ok/
noun, informal
language that is meaningless or is made unintelligible by excessive use of abstruse technical terms; nonsense.]
Which only happened twice. [more logic, fight him. and he stifles a sigh.] A zap from the bracelet. I'd say it was a bit of a nasty shock or rude awakening but you and Ema are bad enough with your wordplay.
[And he'll have no part of it.] Like I said, more annoying than anything at the moment. Not much to do during the day, let alone at night too.
no subject
[ he waves off hershel's logic like damn, man, he's not in a miles edgeworth game, take away your logic, and just focuses on the fact that this is most likely hershel's punishment from losing that game. in fact, he'll even ignore trying to come up with a clever pun about the zap, how shocking. ]
And how long has that been going on?
no subject
[thank god for small miracles then] Since the night of the event. [which is either one or two days ago, take your pick. he is absolutely dumb enough to wait that long to tell jake, he had other worries blah blah shit excuses like that.] I imagine it'll last for a few more days, I doubt he wants to kill me with it though, and Ema went and lessened my punishment anyway, silly sod that she is.
no subject
And do I even want to know what Ema did to "lessen" it?
no subject
I haven't the slightest idea, the only reason I know is because Clive told me. She'd probably never admit it to me. [you're all punks] She's been... off. I suppose whatever Zero did is to blame.
no subject
Tell me about it. She was acting weird when we talked two days ago. Her temperature seemed okay, though. [ from what at least he could feel, though it might have not been too accurate considering the circumstances of the time ]
no subject
You checked too? [he sounds amused, god they're such losers] What do you think it could be? Maybe he made her sick in some way without a fever.
no subject
Yeah, and judging from your question, you did as well, so it wasn't just me screwing up. [ he doesn't make a comment that they apparently had the same idea. he doesn't know how to feel about sharing the same mindset as some british NERD ] But wouldn't be too surprising if it's some kind of drug. Don't need a fever to act out of it.
