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?

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. |

Peri takes a few deep breaths and decides to focus on something else. She wont be able to get to sleep, there's no way. She's too tense. So she decides to poke around and look for found things. A paperclip, a few small tools...something shines from a nearby pile of leaves, and she flutters over to see what it is, setting her other treasures aside. It's pretty big, this thing, but she can't really see what it is from the way it's sitting in the leaves. So, curious, she grabs hold and tries to pull it free. It's heavy though, a lot heavier than she thought it would be, and it feels like it might be stuck on or in something.
She gives another tug, hoping she can pull it free with willpower alone. ]
Come on, almost there...
[ Only, not really. She loses her grip on the mystery object, the force sending her flying. ]

which means there's nothing more important on his mind when he hears something go crashing into a pile of leaves below. he glides down from the tree he had been working on to find the source of the sound, pushing foliage around with his bare feet, careful about where he treads lest he step on the... thing. what was that, a bird? he's sure that it's something alive, nothing that dropped from trees usually made that much noise. whatever it is, the least he can do is check that it's alright before he sends it on its way. ]
You alright there, little thing?
[ the next leaves he brushes aside finally reveal the poor creature, and Jack... stares. a fae? is that a fae. oh no. ]

A human!
[ She doesn't think he can understand her, but given his supernatural nature he probably can, though her voice is reminiscent of jingling bells. She backs up, looking around for some sort of defense. She grabs a screw. She has no idea what to do with it now. ]
