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.

[ 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?

[OH GOD, NO.]

Nothing! Nothing is happening! There is no answer to your question!

I am...sleepwalking.

Yup.

[Which would explain why is voice is so unnaturally high all of a sudden, right?]

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Well, then, maybe I should sleepescort you to sleepwalk off a sleepcliff. Maybe that'll wake you up.
hamburellakind: (...)

No! I'd just die.

[He's gonna close his eyes and hope this tricks her into BELIEVING THE ILLUSION.]

I just want to go to my bed and actually sleep rather than being all walky like this.
turn4bout: (> : D)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-13 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know... Aren't people supposed to be extremely susceptible to ideas when they're asleep? I want to test it out before sending you to your ridiculous bedthing.
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.]

[ 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.

Because you are suggestible and sleepy.
hamburellakind: (/eyebrow?)

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

[That sounded like a sleepy whine, right?]
turn4bout: (> : D)

Goooooooooooooood. [ guess who is mocking you. ]

[He really wishes he'd just stop being hard now.]

No.
turn4bout: (PROMOTION?!)

[personal profile] turn4bout 2012-01-16 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll even help you out. [ She is now full-on pinching John's cheeks. ]
hamburellakind: (:c)

Ow. Can it be temporary?
