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 (note the name and fandom in the subject).
• 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. |

How many did he have, if you know? [Might as well get all the dirty secrets of Lelouch's love life... or lack there of, since he didn't seem to care much for women outside of family and close friends.]
no subject
Lelouch...? I lost track, honestly.
no subject
Did he ever get love letters or chocolate or anything? [Again, might as well ask Nunnally, since she knew Lelouch the best for this kind of information.]
no subject
... I bet that's where all the chocolate came from. I used to wonder, but he always assured me not to worry about it. Sayako-san never seemed concerned, so I never pressed.
no subject
I don't know about Britannian traditions, but there is significance in giving chocolate on Valentine's Day in Japan. Young girls usually gave chocolate to their crushes or boyfriends as a present. And, On St. White's Day, March 14th, they're supposed to return the favor. The tradition has expanded to include just friends, family members, even coworkers and bosses.
[And now she's a little embarrassed.]
Well, I'm pretty sure it happened on days other than Valentine's Day...
no subject
[Nunnally nods as she listens. She always loved hearing about Japan and it's traditions. She had only lived there for a short while before Britannia had invaded, but she remembered being intrigued by the country and it's people that she couldn't see. She had loved listening to Sayako talk about it.]
I remember hearing about that once, I think, from Suzaku, when we were younger....
[She giggles.]
Oh, it did. It happened all the time. Brother used to throw a lot of it out.
no subject
Did Ashford Academy have any sort of school year book or anything? Surely there would be pictures from some of those festivals in there? [She wanted to see what sort of ridiculousness that Milly could get into.] O-or maybe one of the student council members took and kept pictures, at least?
[She did have a feeling that Nunnally snuck a few of those chocolates out before they were put into the garbage, though. Just something she had a feeling about.]
no subject
[She didn't, actually. Blame her brother's paranoia over them being discovered. Not that she blamed him, since the Royal family wasn't exactly known for their compassion.]
no subject
...He seems to be calming down now...
no subject
[Nunnally smiles, her voice soft as she says it. She wants what's best for Ryou and her nephew after all.]
no subject
Sorry, if I'm not good company... for bringing you out here when you should be sleeping too.
no subject
no subject
Do you want me to walk back with you to the study? I don't mind, really...
no subject
You should stay and rest. You're going to need it, after all. Especially as you continue to get closer to your due date.
no subject
[She'll at least see you to the door, though. That's the polite thing to do.]
no subject
[She know better then to say that she's completely safe - they thought the same thing while living in Aries Villa and look at what happened to their mother and herself.]
no subject
Goodnight, Nunnally...
no subject
[Ans she'll reach out to give the other girl's hand a squeeze before turning her chair around and starting back towards the door and the study.]
