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. |

Not to mention your dirty laundry.
[ He makes a vague gesture to it all. ]
no subject
....
SLIGHTLY PANICKED LOOK AS SHE RUSHES DOWN TO GATHER IT ALL UP IN HER ARMS AND SHOVE IT INTO SOME DARK CORNER OF THIS PLACE.
There definitely is no blushing going on. Nike is fucking cool okay?Have a pout, stark.]
Go cool off in the shower, hot head. Your clothes'll be ready when you're done.
[
DOKIDOKIDOKIDOKI]no subject
Like shower. He's turns on his heel right back into the tiled room and screw it if it's almost 3am, showertime. ]
no subject
she'll get you back in a later thread i swearWhen you're done you'll find a nicely folded pile of your clothes at the door (nothing fancy, but what it seems like you'd wear at night).Nike's in the main room, sitting on her futon, laid out on the floor, idly flipping through what looks to be a comic book. Currently her mouth is occupied with a popsicle, and there seems to be the addition of a cat laying at her side.]
no subject
Oh boy.He pulls on whatever she's got him ('How did she get my clothes? Odd.) and is sure to at least do her the favor of hanging the towels up. Creeper's gonna creep, he wants to see what she's reading. ]Ice cream at 4am is not what I'd call healthy.
no subject
I'll live.
[Oh. Look. She's holding one out for you.]
Enjoy the shower?
[She's still pretty engrossed in the comic as she speaks to you, fyi]
no subject
More than I usually do. Then again, I'm not covered in my own sweat, so. That's probably why.
Batman?
no subject
Yup. I'm what you could call a --[Adjusts reading glasses very purposefully] -- comic book nerd.
[SCAAAAAAAAANDAL.]
Batman's always been my numero uno, though.
no subject
Oh yeah?
Why's that?
no subject
Oh you know, the whole tortured billionaire playboy thing. Really a turn on.
[Trollolololololloloolollo]
no subject
[ Nomnomnom, popsicle. ]
Well, lucky for you? It's not just fiction.
[ And that's about as far as he'll go with that. After all, she did let him use her shower. ]
no subject
And perving out over Nike eating hers. WHOOPS]Hmmmm, really now? Tell me more.
[h--Hey woa. Was that a come hither motion with her hand? Cause I think it was.]
no subject
Anything other than Batman?
[ He glances at her and her coy little motion. Not completely left field, but hey. Let's go with it. ]
Whaddya wanna hear about exactly? It's about a novels worth more than Bruce Wayne, lemme tell ya.
no subject
Ehh, some Justice League, some Black Canary, a bit of Catwoman. You name it I've probably read it.
[Aha, hi Tony. Come sit down in front of her. She doesn't bite. Not at all.]
Oh I dunno. You could start with the tragic back story, always a good place t'start.
[Um. The way she's looking at you doesn't suggest she wants to do much talking Tony.]
no subject
Well, you've certainly got a taste for good heroines.
[ And he will take his seat accordingly. He isn't oblivious to her look, but her intentions? Very much so. Pardon him if he's a little squirrely, after all he is pretty much defenseless. ]
Why? That's the most boring part.
no subject
Tragic back stories are what make the hero. And despite my taste in comics--
[At this point she's leaning forward, fingers finding the bottom hem of Tony's shirt and just--- yup. slipping under.]
I've also got a soft spot for male heroes as well.
[ohboy.]
no subject
Well.
Didn't expect you to be this forward.
no subject
[Up, up, up. Hi pectorals. How are you doing?]
Y'thought I was shy?
no subject
Well that's the usual fare, yeah.
[ Hands where do I put those oh goodness why are you-- ]
no subject
I ain't the usual fare, buddy. [Her fingers press in a bit more-- she notes how weird it is to be this close somewhere in the back of her brain.] Try t'hold still. This is gonna feel weird.
[---And then it's going to roll through her hands. A wave of tingles and sensations. The oddest thing about all of it would be the fact that suddenly it would feel more like he was actually connected with her. Even their breathing in sync....
Hi Tony. That girl you've been lusting over can practice magic. Have fun dealing with that.]
no subject
[ Oh. Oh. Oh. Nope. Nope nope nope. He wants to be closer and also to shove her away. That was not normal, and he can't even anything right now. He'll just try and scramble away now. ]
Jesus---what was that?!
no subject
[Nope. Sorry Tony. You're being sat on now. Putting your hands on her will just magnify everything.
Her eyes, in the mean time, are concentrating where her hands are. She's looking almost directly at the arc reactor-- though really it's more like she's looking through it. At some unseen object.]
It's a spell. I use it when I gotta evaluate a wound, see if it's as bad -- [usually worse] -- as I think it is.
[Though she's remaining calm, this wasn't an entirely comfortable spell for her either. On top of her not being entirely experienced with medical magic, she also isn't used to performing this type of spell on a person with out magic.
Not to mention the fact that this just felt weird to do with Tony Stark.]
Hold still until I'm finished, it'll only take a minute.
no subject
[ When struggling is proving to be fruitless (and worse), he stares at her with some sort of intent. Whether it was violent or otherwise was left unsaid, but he almost looks betrayed. ]
Get off of me. And---and turn it off, whatever it is.
no subject
[She's not catching his look, however she does hear his tone. She sighs frustrated because she hasn't found whatever it is that's killing him yet and she wanted to try and at least figure out what it was so she could help him.]
Alright fin--
[That is when she finds it. And it hits her system all at once. The pain was sharp and incredible, the scar on her torso lights up in a phantom pain and it feels as if the air is knocked out of her lungs.]
Fuck--!
[She pushes away from him quickly, landing on the floor heavily on her back.
Well... At least she found the source of his woes.]
no subject
He sits for a moment before taking in the situation; she's on the ground. Is she down and out? ]
Hey.
You okay?
