can't sleep.

the i n s o m n i a meme

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.

[ he doesn't sleep anymore. he hasn't since the fateful night when his and yuu-chan's family was slaughtered like the livestock they had been. not really. the forced unconsciousness of the de-curse pods back in sanguinem was hardly what one would call sleep. he's dreamed only once, just after the battle in shinjuku, and that had been more of a memory resurfacing. and now that what little humanity in him has left thanks to drinking yuu-chan's blood, he'll never dream again, much less sleep. it's a reality of his life that he has since come to terms with. or thought he had. it's harder now that he's reunited with yuu-chan. while yuu-chan and everyone else sleeps, he's left to wander the halls of their new home. it's that or sink back into memories, and he has precious few good memories to dwell on.

which is why he's taken to reading anything he can get his hands on, english or japanese or latin. anything he can get his hands on and he doesn't need a light either. unnaturally crimson eyes, those of a vampire, allow him to see every word as if it were daylight. how many books he's read over the endless sleepless nights, he doesn't know. he'd be reading now too, but little has held his interest lately. instead, he's haunting yuu-chan's room while the other boy sleeps. settled in the window with his feet drawn to his chest, he's gazing out at the night sky. fortunately, there's no breeze tonight, which means he doesn't have to worry about yuu getting cold. and that's just as well, because he wouldn't be able to feel whether or not the night air is too chilly or not. ]

[ooc: nightcrawler could be a prisoner and Hux is checking up on him?]

The Stormtroopers had been trained to handle anything in the universe. But this was something one didn't see every day. The prisoner, once taken, had given no resistance. It looked barely human, with it's half crouched stance, three fingered hands and two toed bare feet. It's skin a dark blue that blended so easily with the shadows.

Seated in the cell, knees drawn up with his yellow eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. His tail curved around, the tip of it tapping absently against the grating of the floor. Almost like he was watching and waiting. He still hadn't said one word. It was slightly unnerving.

He wasn't called Night-crawler for nothing. The faint rattling of dishes might give him away, Kurt was upsidedown, hanging off the refrigerator as he was raiding it for anything that looked appetizing. Humming to himself absently.
