Nikki Hawkins has posed:
It's been three days. Nikki's computer space is littered with energy drinks, random cups of coffee at varying levels, plates of mostly touched food and she is still typing away at some coding. Seeming to be going strong. Like nothing in the world can stop her.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake has been checking on her, he has been known to do something like it, but since he has not seen her get any sleep, he is going to come in and see what she is doing. He has a plan if he has to get her off the comp but does not want to have to do it.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki is reaching for one of her drinks to chug down the last bit of it before chomping on a cold chicken nugget from...well...who knows how long ago. Her eyes are red and baggy from the lack of sleep but she keeps typing away. As if she's about to break into Fort Knox or something. She doesn't even acknowledge Tim's presence when he comes in - at least not with anything more than a grunt and a floppy wave of a hand.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will stand behind her and looks over her shoulder to see what she is actually working on. He will start cleaning up around her for a moment, as he figures out what she is doing.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Coding. That's precisely what she's doing. It looks like it might be code for a game of some sort. Like maybe it's a new project she's ventured into. It doesn't appear to be very important except that one side screen has a Discord chat up where she's likely talking to another end of the project. Though, the person in the chat is even trying to figure out why she's not slept in so long. The last message literally being, "If you don't go to bed soon, I'm calling for a wellness check."

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks over and says "And you have your boy friend here, who will carry you off to bed soon if you do not get some sleep." He tells her as he moves into her side view.

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
Nikki practically jumps out of her skin when Tim breaks the absolute silence that Nikki was bubbled in. The smaller sounds of cleaning up were nothing compared to his voice. "Huh? What?" Pulled out of the trance of the computer...Nikki is suddenly a swaying mess. "Oh...shit..." And she types on the Discord chat in reply, "Boyfriend. Bed. Night." And then tries to stand up.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will move to get get picking her up into his arms and cradling her there. "I think it is time for you to get some rest, am I going to need to put a reminder to sleep on ya computer?

Nikki Hawkins has posed:
"Mmn...maybe....." Nikki replies, practically asleep and near dead weight in Tim's arms.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will take her up putting her to bed, and makes sure, he has some drink and food set aside for her to get some when she wakes up, and maybe go back to sleep.
