A friend of mine fell asleep and has yet to wake up this afternoon. I've tried splashing water on him, but it was not very effective. Does anyone here known any other methods that we could try?

Ah, so this is... somewhat typical, as I've begun to suspect.

[fingersandteeth]

It doesn't happen to everybody, but it's certainly not unknown.

Be prepared for the chance he might have changed somewhat when he wakes up again. I know I did while I was away.

[neverfinishanyth]

Changed how?

that probably should have been 'they' not 'he'

[fingersandteeth]

I mean, *I* got some grey hairs and new scars. But I'd also lived six more years of my life in that week and I'd done a lot of things in those years that I hadn't expected I would when I first came to this world. Your friend might have developed different body language or have different reactions to certain things, depending on what happened when they were home.

Or maybe not. People go home for variable lengths of time, even if it usually only lasts a week. Your friend might only be gone a week on the other side of it too.

How do these physical changes take place? Do they appear as the week progresses, or is it only once they wake up again?

[fingersandteeth]

I don't know, unfortunately. I've never been physically present when one of these weeks of sleep have been going on, except for the one I went through. And in that case, I wasn't conscious in this world to know.

I'd have to ask Armin, I suppose?

[neverfinishanyth]

I'm sure I'll find the answer for myself soon enough.

'Emet-Selch' up there should possibly be 'Solus,' since I forgot that name was more of a TR thing

[fingersandteeth]

I'd be curious to hear it when you do.

There is a lot more testing and experimenting to be done about this whole situation, it seems.
