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?

• 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.

[Man, he's exceedingly jumpy tonight. Dave kind of flinches when there's a sudden person here, but relaxes when it's someone he knows.]

Yeah, my breakfast is brownies with chocolate chunks in 'em.

[The teen throws away the egg and goes back to his mixing bowl.]

How 'bout you?

[ 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. ]

[personal profile] urnewkingbitch 2012-01-13 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Dave is almost always awake. He's surprised that Terezi is knocking, but answers it quickly.]

I make it a point to not fall asleep until at least four in the mornin'. What's up, TZ?
usskickass: (What in the sam hill...)

[personal profile] usskickass 2012-01-13 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Lucky for Dave, the thunder's keeping her up too-- but then again, she likes to watch the storms.]

Howdy. Is this a, uh, teenage problem or...?

[Because maybe she should delegate this to someone like Dean or Puck.]

[personal profile] urnewkingbitch 2012-01-13 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
nope no teenage boy problems
its just
me

[Sob, where did his metaphors and shit go?]

[Oh my god why do people do this?? Santana was just starting to get comfortable, and now she has to swing her door open and stare at him like he's crazy.]

What are you doing and why?

[ 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.

[Somebody's making an entire chicken at 2 AM!

(It's Beiste.)

The racket might wake the entire mansion, but she doesn't quite care. Not when she's cranked her tunes so loud she can't hear it herself! Headphones are God's gift to solitary creatures.]
itsahotone: (turn around brighteyyyyyes)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
Wuh'errr.

[Translation: whatever. Her face is kind of buried in her pillow, so.]
hamburellakind: (???)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
well, i don't think i could sleep text.
i'm more awake now than i was a couple seconds ago, though.
do you need to talk?
wedding jitters?

[Slow. Blink.]

Something's wrong.

[ It's late, and Terezi has difficult sleeping at night as it is. She's built to be nocturnal, but with the weak sun, and due the fact that her friends are up during the day, she's had to change her patterns. Which is weird, and often leads to 3 AM strolls through the mansion.

This particular stroll brings her to a very curious smell. Spicy-heat and embarrassment and John. Sounds like an interesting story.
]

John, why are you roaming the halls with a fluffy sleep device?
hamburellakind: (Bunnyyyyy)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Wussy? Yes.

[Okay, that level's done. He is not going to be rude anymore!]

Sorry, got distracted. I don't think that's wussy! And my room's cold, actually! Wonder if we could get a whole 'nother bed out of the closet or--

[Gasp. Big boy sleepover.]

We could do sleeping bags!

[:DDDD]
hamburellakind: (...)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
you could get snacks from the closet

[Sometimes Dave's chest hurts, at least after getting in the way of Jade's firing like mad. It aches and burns, but he's usually up anyway, so it's nothing new.

But he goes traveling through the halls anyway, trying to take his mind off of it.]

[ oh what are those noises under your bed, John? welp, it's just terezi dragging herself out. ]

We can talk in person, haha. [ she curls up at the foot of his bed, sightless eyes wide, and nose sniffing in john's direction. ]

[John appears to be floating much like one would on their back in water, but instead in midair.

He's in so much pain that even the screeching of the window opening seems to aggravate his condition. He opens his eyes, clearly not able to concentrate all that well, even if he couldn't sleep either.]


Getting some fresh air. Sorry.
hamburellakind: (>:()

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
My bed sucks, Dave. I want it to die.
itsahotone: (oh hell no)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
You were snoring like there's five hundred pounds of raw meat shoved up your nose!!
turn4bout: (> : ?)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, I didn't think you'd be making-- [ sniff, sniff ] cookies? When I was trying to sleep. [ She yawns, trying to rub the sleep off her face. It's not working. ]

Seems like tonight's the night for surprises.
spacetier: (/nervous)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-13 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Jade sleeps in what most people call a cocoon. A cocoon of blankets and a lot of squiddle dolls. She peeks out tiredly from her blanket after Terezi storms into her room. It's unusual for people to break into Jade's room at night (that is illegal by the way) but, it's Terezi. And she never uses doors unless it's important. ]

Wha-- ok. Yeah. Sure. [ It doesn't really matter why she wants to be in Jade's room, does it? ]

Do you want a pillow? Is that a thing trolls use?

[personal profile] urnewkingbitch 2012-01-13 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Well, shit, I could slice it in half, I guess, but that'd be a waste of a perfectly good mattress.

[He moves aside to let John in, and will close the door behind him if he enters.]
hamburellakind: (Gosh!)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Crap. He was lifting his feet way too high to be walking like a normal person.]

...Kind of mad at Dave. Sorry. I'll tiptoe stomp instead.
