INSOMINA MEME

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?

i n s t r u c t i o n s

• Post with your character.
• Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• Have fun!

o p t i o n s

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.

Well, unfortunately for you-- fresh outta bullshit. [ She ducks back into her pile. ]

Go bother John or something.

[personal profile] stealsluck 2012-01-14 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[That draws a short laugh]

That's a lie. When are you ever out of bullshit? Anyway, I don't want to bother John. I want to bother you. That's why I'm here.
turn4bout: (lil' cal get out of there)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-14 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...You've got five minutes before I promptly go back to sleep, whether or not you're still here or still bitching. Go.

[personal profile] stealsluck 2012-01-14 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, so generous.

[The sarcasm, it burns]

Anyway, I wasn't doing the talking, remember? I'm here so you can talk to be about bullshit and then I'll stop thinking about the thing that's stopping me from sleeping, and then I'll be able to sleep and not get stuck thinking about that shitty meteor and all the shitty thing that ha-

[Well fuck]

Ignore that last bit!
itsahotone: (either serious or hateful; either works)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-14 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Well you're hardly helping me fall asleep!

[Because this is all clearly his fault?]
spacetier: (Land of Frost and Frog)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-14 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ How rude. ]

You can't kick me out. It's my room!
spacetier: (dang im sad)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-14 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She was feeling lonely. She's not going to actually say that out loud. She has a reputation to keep!

(She doesn't even have a reputation.) ]


I couldn't sleep.
spacetier: (what are you even saying)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-14 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The door opens and Jade's there, covered in blankets. It seems she brought all her sheets with her to open the door. How she managed to walk is a mystery.]

Yeah?
spacetier: (haha okay)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-14 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Gardening. Even though I have to do it all in the greenhouse because of the snow outside!

Have you gone to the hills yet? Sliding around is fun. [ Snow is so great. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a *big loser who comes from loserville!!! ]

spacetier: (lass scamper)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-14 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Take it! [ She won't take no for an answer. ] I can get another cup.
itsahotone: (superior always)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-15 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Explains the accent, I guess.
akapeanut: (Frog was an asshole)

[personal profile] akapeanut 2012-01-15 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me. You don't want to know.

...Party? Seriously?
akapeanut: (Let's pause and consider punching you)

[personal profile] akapeanut 2012-01-15 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not even asleep anymore!
hamburellakind: (???)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Why are you-- you look like a dog that heard a squirrel.
hamburellakind: (Squeezles)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Right.

[John goes quiet, considering it himself.]

I...I guess we can promise that, um. That if one of us goes and comes back and doesn't remember, the other won't just stop caring but-- but we'll take it easy? I mean, I'll probably scare a Dave that doesn't know we've been together, and well, duh, I'd freak out too. But we're still us, right? And...and I don't think even me at my most gay panicky would ever do anything to hurt you.

But...I might be upset if you kept it from me that we were together.

[He burrows his face into Dave's chest.]

Promise you'll tell me?
hamburellakind: (:])

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[John grins and pulls out an extra DS and a couple handfuls of cartridges. Basically, the answer is everything. God bless this mansion.]
hamburellakind: (Sugoi sad)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
no u
hamburellakind: (:])

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[John frowns. Kurt must be feeling pretty icky if he's here!]

Sure! Come in.

[He hurries over to the closet to grab some extra blankets. Pretty soon Kurt is cuddled up on John's bed with infinity plus blankets wrapped around him.]

Hmm, so, orange juice? Wait, have you ever tried hot lemonade?
hamburellakind: (...)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Blink.]

Um...nobody.

[Vriska might find some way to hurt her.]

What're you doing here?
hamburellakind: (/eyebrow?)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Must make Houston suck.
hamburellakind: (:c)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. She's like, my best troll friend.

[He looks down.]

Dave said some mean stuff about her.
hamburellakind: (/eyebrow?)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'd look duuuuumb.

[That sounded like a sleepy whine, right?]
hamburellakind: (:3)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-15 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
No! We should go together! Me and Dave went skating but that didn't go the greatest, haha.
turn4bout: (> : D)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-15 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Goooooooooooooood. [ guess who is mocking you. ]
usskickass: (Really?)

[personal profile] usskickass 2012-01-15 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[...What?]

Uh, well. He was the son of a god, on Earth.
