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.

What're you playing, anyway?

[He resists the urge to roll his eyes. Clearly, John is excited about this, way more than he is.]

Beds, sleeping bags, I don't care.

[At least he's not suggesting they get in the same bed, because then he'd be out of there in two seconds.]
epiccombo: (No you listen)

[personal profile] epiccombo 2012-01-13 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't looking for you, okay?

What the hell are you doing here anyway?
epiccombo: (No you listen)

[personal profile] epiccombo 2012-01-13 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Hell, no.

Go back to sleep or something. Like a normal person.
epiccombo: (You're kidding right?)

[personal profile] epiccombo 2012-01-13 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds good, man.

[He keeps digging into the fridge.]

Nothing much. I just got hungry, figured the kitchen was a good place to start.

[He grabs some peanut butter and shuts the door.]
epiccombo: (WTF?)

[personal profile] epiccombo 2012-01-13 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, you okay, man?

[The weirdness of finding someone floating in midair aside, John doesn't look okay.]

You.. Uh, you want to come in or something?
epiccombo: (Yeah whatever)

[personal profile] epiccombo 2012-01-13 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Puck rolls over without waking up and grumbles something about not wanting to chase cats anymore. Hey, he's asleep. He's not 100% responsible for what he says in his sleep.

He grumbles some other unintelligible stuff, still unaware that Santana's in his bed.]
epiccombo: (Yeah whatever)

[personal profile] epiccombo 2012-01-13 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[He walks inside, and just helps himself to her chair. He sits down with a sigh.]

...Sorry.
itsahotone: ([britt] like moonshine in disguise)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[It takes her a good while to answerr, because she's still half asleep. Basically, she thinks this might be a dream. But finally, she peeks up from her pillow.]

...Puck?
spacetier: (dang im sad)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-13 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You just said it was keeping you up. That is the opposite of "nothin' huge". That is very big! [ She lifts her mug to him. ] Do you want my cocoa? I didn't drink out of it yet. You don't have to worry about icky cooties.
spacetier: (/nervous)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-13 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It's ok. You weren't doing it on purpose!
spacetier: (Gardener)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-13 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She moves her blankets to the side and sits down with him. ]

The same thing as usual. It's getting pretty boring! I think I should blow something up soon. [ That was a joke. Mostly. ]
spacetier: (what if i keyword everything with dang)

[personal profile] spacetier 2012-01-13 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure whatever you sleep on is weird too. [ She throws some squiddles Terezi's way. Not only do they make great tangle buddies, they make good sleeping buddies too. ]

You don't snore right? If you do I might have to kick you out!
spacetier: (Rain rain go away)

[ 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. ]
epiccombo: (Shut.Up.)

[personal profile] epiccombo 2012-01-13 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's me.

[He just kind of watches her for awhile, not sure what else he should be doing.]

I guess you're wondering what I'm doing.
tobendthetide: (Uhh I don't know)

[personal profile] tobendthetide 2012-01-13 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Katara's fast asleep in her bed, when she vaguely registers the sound of too-loud giggling. She rolls over, and mutters.]

..Be quiet.

[But the noise continues, so she groans and sleepily gets up and opens the door. She spots Jade, the source of the giggling.]

Um, hi.
sniffsbutt: (Grin)

[Sirius had this bizarre craving for pumpkin juice, the perfect thing for the middle of the night.

He stepped into the kitchen and jumped about a foot in the air in response to a huge crash and bang. He whipped out his wand, and muttered the spell that turned it into a source of light.]


I think there's this little thing called a light switch that people use sometimes, but you know, I'm not completely sure about that.

[He grins at Jade.]

I suppose I could lend you a hand with that.
epiccombo: (Shut.Up.)

[With no football team in the mansion, Puck's gone looking for other ways to stay in shape, such as getting a set of weights from the closets.

The only problem is, now he's overdone it, and now his muscles are sore as hell. Sleep is now impossible, so Puck's keeping himself busy by walking (more like stomping) down the halls.

Good luck sleeping, people.]
itsahotone: (don't I LOOK happy?)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Little bit. When'd you get here?

[eye-rub eye-rub. Clearly she is on top of things.]

[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]

[Like Bro sleeps much anyway.

On this occasion, however, he's struggling to get even what he normally does because damn it, he thinks he's pulled something in that last roof-top battle and that makes it hard to get comfortable.

Obviously wandering the corridors is the best way to fix that]

[personal profile] stealsluck 2012-01-13 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Normally Vriska would sooner die than come to Terezi for help. But with so few trolls around and with her think pan swarmed with conflicting thoughts, she finds herself with little choice.

Barging into your room here, Terezi]


Wakey wakey, Pyrope!
epiccombo: (Yeah whatever)

[personal profile] epiccombo 2012-01-13 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Five minutes ago?

It sucks, and you're going to laugh.

[Funny, he's just the opposite. He's wide awake, wishing he wasn't.]
itsahotone: (either serious or hateful; either works)

[personal profile] itsahotone 2012-01-13 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[She finally wakes up a little! Yay!

...To stare at him. He got there that long ago?

Oh, right. That wasn't a dream.]


Too tired to laugh. Isn't it like, still night? Why are you awake?
