INSOMINA MEME

[eise]

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?

01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

[Dave can't sleep. That's fact. What is taking the piss at the moment is that it's because his mind won't shut the fuck up and keeps going on random as hell tangents. It's driving him insane!

He doesn't want to bother John, but holy fucking shit this is just not good.

Clad in his Hello Kitty pajamas, he knocks on John's door. Maybe he's still up at one in the morning?]

[This is a load of crap. Puck glares at his room as he opens the door and leaves it. Figures that it would get boiling hot in there.

Well, he's just going to go find someone else to bug the crap out of. And guess who that someone is?

If you guessed John Egbert, you'd be right. Hi John. Puck's knocking on your door.]

[itsahotone]

[Sup, John. Hope you weren't sleeping anywhere near the kitchen or anything, cause Santana can't sleep and has therefore decided the only logical thing to do right now is make tons of noise with pots and pans.

CLANG.

CLANGITY.

CRASH.]

[Kurt is absolutely miserable. He's never felt so sick in his life. His whole body is sore, and he's too cold and too warm all at once, and John needs to make it all better. Apparently.

...maybe Kurt just doesn't feel like walking any farther to look for medicine. Same difference. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.]

[Vriska can't sleep. And when Vriska can't sleep, she doesn't let anyone else sleep either. And so she's bouncing a little on John's bed and poking him until he acknowledges that she's there]

[itsahotone]

[What's that you say about sleeping out on a couch? That puts George in the perfect spot for Santana to come stomping in, hair a mess and circles under her eyes.]

WOULD YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY?!!??!

[Okay, Dave isn't easy to scare most of the time. The puppets are creepy, and yes, Lil Cal scares the piss out of him. But there's one thing that scares him more than Lil Cal.

Motherfucking thunderstorms.

He can't stand thunder and lightning. Dave doesn't even know WHY but motherfuck he hates that shit. He doesn't feel comfortable talking to most of his guy friends about it. Terezi might not understand, Rose would analyze, and Jade sleeps like the dead most of the time. So...Beiste is a good choice, right?

Dave messages her before he tries, though.]

hey coach
sorry to bother you while youre getting your zs on
ive got a little bit of a problem but its big enough to not allow me any peace

7, oh god.

[thisisherson]

[It's been a long, long night. Kurt can't sleep, but he's not about to go and deliberately wake someone up over it, so he opts to go sit in the hall and mope.

...And maybe cry a little.]

[ Sleep is good. But do you know what is even greater? Staying up late! It's what all the cool kids do. And with all this energy coming out of nowhere, that is exactly what Jade will do.

That and walk down the halls giggling perhaps a little too loudly. ]

[ So maybe it was a bad idea to go into the kitchen in the middle of the night. Maybe it was an even worse idea to try and get everything in the dark! And maybe if Jade had bothered to turn on the light, all the plates in the cupboard wouldn't have fallen on the floor with a loud bang and shatter. ]

[Who put all the freaking peas under his mattress tonight?

Goooood.

Hopefully Dave's bed is more comfy. John knocks, nearly falling asleep against the door. Yes, the door is more comfortable!]

[itsahotone]

1 - he's never going to live this down, is he....

[epiccombo]

[Well, crap, this is just stupid. And it's a load of bull.

Puckasaurus does not get scared.

But he's had a shitty nightmare and it's driven him from his bed and straight to Santana's door.

Yeah. He knows he's going to get his ass kicked, but hell if he's going to stay in his room after that.]

Hey. Santana?

[turn4bout]

[urnewkingbitch]

[Goddamn it, for some reason Dave is fucking starving. Groaning, he gets out of bed to meander into the kitchen to get something.

Cookies. Yes, he has a random urge to bake delicious caramel filled chocolate chip cookies.

Oh, shit, the cookie sheet clatters on the floor. Hopefully that doesn't wake anybody!]

[turn4bout]

[ Jegus fuck this room is so goddamn hot and the sopor is old and the pile is messy and THIS ROOM IS STUPED IN ITS RUED SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, under John's bed is uncomfortable, and sleeping outside Dave's door is stupid (what is he doing in there?!?), and all of her usual haunts have too much or too little going on. Not a proper sleeping environment.

So, as Terezi enters Jade's room (just bursting in, she owns this place), she is not very happy. ]

Hey, Jade. I'm sleeping in here tonight.

[thisisherson]

[spacetier]

[ There is a quiet knocking on Kurt's door. Quiet enough that the whole floor doesn't wake up, but loud enough that he'll hear it eventually.

Knock.
Knock.
Knock. ]

[stealsluck]

[coolstriderbro]

10 fuck yes

[urnewkingbitch]

[Normally, Dave deals with his nightmares by ignoring them and distracting himself before going back to bed. This one, though, almost sends him rushing to the bathroom so that the toilet can be acquainted with what he had last eaten. Luckily, he manages to keep it down.

No comfort baking tonight, he thinks.

The Strider stumbles out into the hall to wander aimlessly, hoping that maybe it'll help keep his mind distracted. But he still feels sick to his stomach.]
