Morgan doesn't strictly need to sleep. Even if she didn't want to put up with the annoyance of constantly having a caffeine buzz and having to ask for coffee on almost every summon, there are naps. Naps can keep a daeva going for quite a long time.
But there's something unutterably pleasant about curling up in a proper bed in pajamas and just sleeping. And then waking up and getting breakfast in those pajamas. So she does that, because immortality's a long unpleasant time if you don't enjoy the little things every now and then. Like adorable bunny slippers and soft pajamas and sleeping in.
She's midway through a fruity salad thing that counts as the standard fairy breakfast when she feels the summon. Showing up to a summon in pajamas? Eh. If they're proper summoners she bets they've seen worse, and she doesn't particularly care if they think she's unprofessional.
She puts her spoon down and accepts the summon.

Who knows!
"All right. Well, then, I'll head out, if there's nothing you'd like from me...?"

"Okay. See you later, then."
She waves, and then she departs the meeting room and the PHQ. ... After stealing some of their coffee. Stealing their coffee is important. Sip.
Then she picks a tall building to perch on (perching on tall building is fun) to check her e-mail and current events. It's been long enough that Glam's probably been publicly announced to be part of the Wards. Is there any horrible controversy about it? Obviously it hasn't been too bad, because she hasn't gotten a call, but there might be some.

There is some controversy, especially with mothers worried about children being influenced by a villain in the Wards program, yadda yadda. The Youth Guard is playing the "orphan kid without guidance" card, and subtly but not directly invoking the trans card as well, to explain that Glam is really just misunderstood, and that it is the Youth Guard and the Protectorate's mission to ensure parahumans are reformed and can be turned into productive members of society. It helps that Glam's crimes were flashier than they were damaging, that Glam was quite charming and whimsical in their antics, and that they did in fact fight villains fairly often.

... This is about the expected level of controversy, she thinks. A bit annoying, but it'll settle down eventually, and Glam wasn't ever a bad villain.
Is there any mention of how she's technically adopted Glam? Her ass is on the line here too, really.

Not really. A lot of people are speculating on how exactly Glam was convinced to join, and there are some tinfoil hats drawing the connection between Morgan in the unicorn video and the fact that that was the last "job" they pulled, but it's mostly limited to them. The Youth Guard and Glam's official position is that they have a suitable legal guardian who has their best interests at heart, and that's that. There's not really any precedent on people being told about who the Wards' legal guardians may or may not be, so that's not too strange.
notinoz
Well, the reactions to what actually happened would have been priceless, but she can't really fault the logic in keeping it quiet. She doesn't really mind people not freaking out and asking her what she said. Even if she wants to cackle at it. Oh, well.
There will be other times to cackle at the internet's reaction to her actions.
Hey, she sends to Glam via e-mail, I get that nothing's on fire, but how are you doing?

Mostly okay. Making people here like me is not exactly the easiest of tasks but I didn't expect it to be. I can cope.
notinoz
Let me know if there's anything I can do? I mean, I doubt it, but hey. Maybe I can show up and be charming at them and give you a glowing recommendation and that'll help a bit. Or show up and be so terrible they go, 'Oh God, Glam, you're so much better in comparison, Morgan's insane!'

I'm not convinced my technical legal guardian being scary at people is the most effective way of getting them to like me!
notinoz
Did I say scary? I could act like a bumbling idiot, instead! ... Wait, no, nevermind, that's terrifying from me. Carry on.
notinoz
I am! I don't sleep anymore, but if I did, my morning to-do list would be 'Kill Endbringers' and 'Don't be a bumbling idiot.'
mxglam
I think you probably should not be a bumbling idiot with a higher priority than kill Endbringers. There are all kinds of ways being a bumbling idiot might cause killing Endbringers to make it worse.
notinoz
Ha, yes, I did not say my priority list for those two. Not being a bumbling idiot comes first.

I'm earning money for buying satellite phones to hand out when I take over a country, so I have a basic information network from the get-go. I expect people will not want to use it except in an emergency, but that's better than 'Morgan patrols the territory herself,' so.
First I'm aiming for is Namibia, because screw Moord Nag.
