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. |

[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?
no subject
We can go with okay. Sure. Why not?
[She needed about 20 advil. And a drink.]
no subject
Good.
What the hell was that.
no subject
Like I said. It was a scannin' spell. Like a CAT scan or X-Ray, 'cept it's more thorough. Uses the energy the body outputs, finds out what's outta rhythm.
[After a long pause she looks up, an indescribable emotion on her face]
You're poisoned, right?
[She's sure he knows better than she does.]
no subject
[ Bro is pissed. You can see it on his face. It's almost like he's been violated, and 'he didn't exactly appreciate it' didn't cover all of his feelings on the fiasco that just happened. His breathing is uneven as he tries to control himself. Different worlds, Tony. Different everything. He wasn't Banner, and he wasn't about to lose his shit like him either. Instead, he picks a better place to hit, below the belt. His hair's still kind of wet, you can tell by the way it sticks out in weird places after he pulls his shirt off in front of her. ]
Doesn't take a spell to figure that out.
[ There's a criss crossed, angular web of purple crawling across where she'd been feeling only moments ago, and it squirreled up his collarbone and was beginning to creep up his jugular. ]
Palladium. This thing.
[ He makes a vague motion to the reactor. ]
And before you go off asking if I've tried to fix it, let's just think about who put it there in the first place.
no subject
Probably wouldn't understand that.] I--
[A whole list of things starts off in her head. Things she could say, she wanted to say.]
I'm sorry.
[She looks down at her hands quietly. the quietest she's been all night]
no subject
[ He pulls his shirt back on, oblivious to her previously stated ocean. ]
Anything else you'd like to physically assault out of me, princess?
no subject
Haven't even bought y'dinner, yet.
[A weak jab, lacks her usual biting tone. She's even letting the princess thing slide.]
no subject
[ He's cooled off, but still standing to leave. ]
Next time.
no subject
Next time?
[Eyebrow]
Y'like being "physically assaulted"?
[MIXED SIGNALSWHAT]
no subject
And on certain occasions, yes.
[ He gives her an incredulous look. ]
Let a dying man get his kicks, sheesh.
no subject
I didn't feel you up. [Pause] Not really, at least.
[Not.
Blushing]
no subject
no subject
[TOTALLY RED NOW. BUT STUBBORN.]
no subject
Dinner first.
no subject
no subject
[ Shit eating grin. ]
Tomorrow, seven?
no subject
I mean, if y'can find a place.
