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?

• 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. |

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT.
He even got out something, bringing a bowl of leftovers out...but then his elbow bumps a metal tray. It goes falling to the ground with a loud noise, and there's a silence as he just. Stares at it.]
...Ah.
[Yeah, he'll just stand here and eat first, clean up later.]
ihu
the cat? Wait. No. He didn't have any animals in the house. A BURGLAR?
Alarmed from the noise that shot the boy out of bed, Makoto creeps slowly into the kitchen area. Hands grabbing for anything he could possibly use as a weapon in the dark. Which, sadly, only resulted in the brunette finding a plastic toy bat left lazily in the hallway from his younger brother. But still!! Weapon obtained!!
As he nears the kitchen the light from the refrigerator causes the hairs of his neck to stand up. There really was something here, there was— ]
Wh... who's there!? Please leave us alo— [ annnnnd he stumbled into the room finally. Toy bat pressed against his chest. ]
—Nice!?
YOU TOLD ME TO DO IT
...Not really, he's still eating like nothing's wrong. This is completely. Natural.]
Yo. [DON'T TALK WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL. Okay he swallows the food, and then tries again:] What're you going to do with that bat?
[He's acting totally oblivious.]
DETAILS
But the bat? Oh. That thing wasn't important now. He's tucking it out of sight, face flushed with embarrassment. ] This? Ah, it's nothing! I just thought that—
[ Wait. Why is he trying to have causal conversation now!? ]
That's not important! Nice, what are you even doing here? And at this hour...!
and here i am putting all this effort out for you and everything...rude 1/2
CASUAL CONVERSATION IS WHAT NORMAL PEOPLE DO GOSH MAKOTO GET WITH THE PROGRAM HERE.]
I'm eating. [He says matter-of-factly, holding up the bowl for a second, as if it wasn't obvious before now.] You said I could come over any time, didn't you?
no subject
It's good, by the way.
are you really because it just feels like you're trolling me-
Yeah okay eating is all well and good but does he even realize the time!? Deep breaths, Makoto, Deep breaths. ]
I did, but I never imagined it would be this late! [ Oh no he raised his voice a little too much there. Slapping his hand over his mouth for a moment.
God Nice he is already so Done with you. Whisper now: ]
Is it? Ah, thank you. [ NO. NOT. CHANGING THE SUBJECT. ] —B-but you shouldn't be here right now! My siblings are asleep!
you wound me......
Whoops.]
I know. You're going to wake them up if you keep yelling like that.
[He's just saying is all, muffled as it might be.]
SLAPS A BANDAID ON YOU
Alright now he's just making some sort of whiny grumble under his breath. He knows Nice is right but something tells him he won't be leaving anytime soon.
Just. Going to keep his voice low as he talks. ]
I wouldn't be yelling if— [ no, not going to start. He takes in a deep, exasperated breath. ] —nevermind. Just please try not to knock anything over?
WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE BANDAIDS THANKS
But he puts down the now empty bowl and picks up the tray he'd knocked over.]
See? I'm picking it up now.
[Uh...now where did it go, again? MAKO HELP.]
