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?

• 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. |

Yuichiro Hyakuya l Owari no Seraph
2, 6
it's meant to be a quiet, undisruptive venture; nothing to alarm whoever might be on watch, nothing to wake any other exhausted teammates. however, stepping into the kitchen, he sees that another's already taken a seat at the table. ... ah.
gruffly, with a tired glance that borders on scolding as he moves to the cupboard, ]
—The hell are you doing awake at this hour?
no subject
[Though Yuu doesn't have the nightmares as often, sometimes he still gets them. Sometimes he even manages to not wake to the sound of his own screaming. Tonight was a better night, comparatively, which is probably why Kimizuki hadn't been woken from hearing him wake and get up earlier. He's nursing a mug of hot chocolate alone, having told whoever was on guard that he could take over until everyone was up. He rarely manages, if he does, to get back to sleep after a nightmare so he may as well. Besides the nightmares, he's usually a heavy sleeper that doesn't tend to get up during the night. So the other can probably easily guess why he's awake.
He just hadn't anticipated having company. Least of all Kimizuki. He's not complaining, just surprised, amid his fatigue at the lack of sleep. Yuu blows on his drink, taking another sip, ignoring how ridiculous his hair probably looks, mussed from his tossing and turning while he did somewhat rest.]
I know I wasn't supposed to be on guard. But I figured since I was up anyway, I sent Yoichi back to bed.
no subject
and the hair...! if kimizuki didn't have as massive a personal space of bubble as he does (among other things, including a staunch commitment to stoicism), he might attempt to tame that bedhead into submission. thankfully, this isn't a possibility that even crosses his mind. instead, he shrugs, with an air of feigned nonchalance, at the explanation. ]
Sure.
[ from the cupboard, he retrieves a can of old oatmeal, some leftover syrup. evidence of hard times that would do for a makeshift breakfast. ]
Just don't it affecting you tomorrow. We can't afford careless mistakes because of something stupid like this. [ for all their seemingly-impossible achievements, it's almost humorous that sleep be something so untenable. ]
no subject
[Yuu responds with a shrug, raising one hand to comb through his messier than usual mop of hair. Which, of course, does nothing to actually remotely tame it. Still, he doesn't seem so concerned on Kimizuki's huff and obvious desire to round on him. But, yeah, it would be hypocritical given Kimizuki is up at some ridiculous hour of the morning as well.
Still, he watches the other rummage through the cupboards for something to eat while enjoying the heat from his drink at his hands from the steam, the heat of the mug.]
no subject
[ doesn't he make a great, ridiculous-hour-of-the-morning buddy? ]
[ in the midst of their exchange, he'll retrieve some leftover almonds, too. the stove's reheated, the mixture of porridge added to water— tossing in the nuts near the end of this process, sweetening it a bit with the syrup. it's a quick meal, for sure, but it's one of the healthier ones, perhaps, that could be managed.
mysteriously, there's enough to fill two bowls.
which he does.
he sits down opposite yuu, sliding one of the extra bowls toward him. shut up, is why. ]
no subject
[Yuu pouts, scowling at Kimizuki -- or probably more like his back, as the other gets to cooking. He sips at his drink, looking to the curtained window, the light of the moon still barely shining through has him a little distracted as he recalls how long he went without seeing it years ago while underground.
He blinks, looking to the table when the other finishes and....pushes one of the bowls over to him?]
Never said I was hungry. But....thanks. [May as well eat. Get something in them to keep them going and up until the others wake at least.]
no subject
but, look. there are even spoons for them. amazing. kimizuki doesn't touch his porridge, instead targeting yuu with a sharp frown and a furrowing of his brows. ]
If you don't want it or like it, I don't care. I'll just give it to Yoichi.
no subject
[Actual hot meals without a fire and the resulting smoke potentially giving them away and all. So, he doesn't want to pass on the chance to figure eating something if Kimizuki made too much for himself. So he takes a spoon, trying a mouthful. He doesn't even care if it might burn slightly because it's something warm. Something.....well, almost comforting and nostalgic in a way, porridge.]
Not bad though. Better than the girls, what they'd make. Burn, more like.
[There's a reason it is usually Kimizuki or occasionally Yuu that cooks.]
no subject
testing the meal for himself, it's not... as awful as it could be, certainly. sometimes he wishes he had better ingredients at his disposal if only to earn the proper reputation of being more just not bad. ... and also that his comrades could eat better, but that's a more difficult inference.
flatly: ]
Burn the whole house down too, while they're at it.
no subject
Ha! Yeah. It's safer to get someone else to cook.
[Yuu doesn't care about traditional gender roles, more concerned with whoever is best for the task at hand. In this case of cooking, that is.....decidedly not either Shinoa or Mitsuba.]
Considering what we have to work with this is still better than what we've been downing recently though. We lucked out with this place.
[He....probably still feels kind of bad, given the rest defected and are on the run because of helping him out and all. But it's something, how easily their standards and habits, their expectations of a lot of things change with the circumstances.]
