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. |

*Good news: Rita Mordio's invention for setting up a camp in the treeline, above the path of monsters, was successful.
Bad news: Between two monster fights, including a direct swat from an Eggbear, and a full day's travel? Rita's lying there, in quite a bit of pain.*
Why did I agree to this....
no subject
Agree to what?
*Judith is pretty sure the sleeping in a tree part was Rita's idea.*
Presumably post-game
... This whole thing. Whose idea was it to head out here hunting old formulae, anyhow?
Makes sense to me
Wasn't it partially yours?
*There's amusement in her voice; at the very least, she's sure Rita wasn't so opposed to the idea when they left. She leans against the trunk of the tree.*
Anyway, it's not so bad, is it? It's nice to still be traveling together.
Re: Makes sense to me
... How do you handle going this long in one day? Even with Yuri around we didn't go for that many hours... And that many fights...
Re: Makes sense to me
I guess I don't really think about it...
Re: Makes sense to me
Re: Makes sense to me
We won't push as hard tomorrow, then.
Re: Makes sense to me
*Rita winces - apparently, her shoulder.*
no subject
Can you catch?
no subject
*She tries to move her arm, though it's obviously pretty feeble... She really did take it pretty hard, once she stopped...*
no subject
no subject
*Catch! ... Fall, as Rita rolls off of her perch, followed a second later by the entire bed.*
no subject
no subject
...Ow...
no subject
Here.
*Her voice and face are distinctly apologetic.*
no subject
*She moves enough to bite into the gel, at least.*
... That wasn't such a good idea, huh...
no subject
I don't know... it seemed like it would have been a good way to avoid any monsters...
*Though entirely less effective if one happened to roll out of the tree in the night. It was probably good that it had fallen down while Judith was standing there.*
