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.

[She catches that first bit and immediately looks sheepish.]

Dang, I didn't know I was being that loud. Sorry, kiddo.
hamburellakind: (:()

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He frowns.]

What is it?
itsahotone: ([britt] wtf part two)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh good, time to JUMP IN FRIGHT like a moron.]

God! Watch where you're...going...

[personal profile] urnewkingbitch 2012-01-13 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
yeah
bros told me the same thing
and i know its stupid because im inside and all but
goddamn i really hate thunder and lightning and theres no good reason why
ive just always been like this
sometimes music works but sometimes the thunders too loud
and when i see the flashes i get antsy cause usually that means thunder isnt too far behind
i guess thats why i dont like talking about it to bro much

[He let's Dave pass and soon they're both sitting on his bed, probably hugging pillows and shit.]

Are you okay?
hamburellakind: (...)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
loud
turn4bout: (> : ?)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ She stops abruptly. ] Huh?

[personal profile] urnewkingbitch 2012-01-13 09:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, that's new.]

Nah, too much like work. What's got you up and about?
hamburellakind: (...)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks uncomfortable.]

I don't get angry often. It's...just kind of a special issue.
itsahotone: (exCUSE moi?)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
I don't see how anyone could sleep through that! I swear to god you're louder than my cheer coach, and she uses a freakin' megaphone.
hamburellakind: (NO NO UNDO)

[personal profile] hamburellakind 2012-01-13 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Shit.]

...Okay.

[He hopes his wince wasn't too obvious, there.]
turn4bout: (1'M FUUUUUCK3D UP)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
No, it was quiet. In a forest. But my dreams weren't. [ Terezi takes a moment to sniff at what he's writing before continuing. ] Dreaming's how I used to talk to my lusus, so I guess... Every once in a while, it's just weird. [ Pause. ] Lonely.

[personal profile] urnewkingbitch 2012-01-13 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm fine. It's just like I keep thinkin' about random shit. My mind won't fuckin' rest so I can actually get a decent amount of sleep for the first time in at least a month.

[He's certainly hugging a pillow, if only because he has this urge to do so.]
hamburellakind: (Derp twins)

[He wanders over and sits on her bed, looking a lot happier when she gets closer.]

So, um. How have you been lately?
turn4bout: (sup dog sup sup)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ She thinks about trying the closet, but fuck. Too tired. She meanders her way over to Jade's bed and climbs in. ]

I'll never get used to these sleeping devices. They're so weird. But... [ Terezi basically wallows her way on top of the Jade-pile of covers. ] This'll do.
itsahotone: (bitch; be glad i walked in)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, it can't possibly be that loud! Why don't you just go back to sleep?
turn4bout: (sup dog sup sup)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ So you know what? Terezi is getting all up in John's business, mouth to his ear in order to whisper: ]

Dye your hair the color of cotton candy.

[personal profile] urnewkingbitch 2012-01-13 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Dave can kind of understand. He's used to the noise of a city at night, but it's almost deadly silent in the mansion. It's weird, and he's still not used to it.]

Yeah, I think I can understand that a bit. You're always free to camp out in my room if you want or need to.
itsahotone: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
...No reason. Just couldn't sleep.

[Liiiies. First there was the nightmare, then all the ~noises~.]
itsahotone: (know it all)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She thinks about it for a few seconds.]

You know, since you woke me, the least you could do is spill.
turn4bout: (press space in space to leap)

[ Terezi snakes her hands around him to steal the dough off the cookie sheet. Don't worry, only one sheet will be enough at this rate. ] I can assure you, I've never had Strider cookies. Which makes all the difference.

[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.
