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?

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.

[ Heels clack against the marble flooring while colours of pink and black trail after her as she moves down the hall.

Sleep is not the norm for those who live as vampires. Though there are moments when they are able to rest, it's still not considered sleep as humans do but it's the closest thing to sleep they experience throughout their immortal life.

Krul is unable to 'rest'.

Anger is written all over her face as she storms down the halls towards her chamber, to her throne. Lest Karr continues to be a thorn in her side with his questioning of her and incessant taunting at meetings that she finds herself longing for the chance to rip his limbs from his body one at a time just as soon as she's done with another thorn in her side; one who goes by the name of Ferid Bathory.

Doors swing open to her chamber and she's still unable to rest, to let the anger bubbling to the surface fizzle out and fade away. For them to get under her skin irritates her more than either of their faces and she finds herself on the verge of hurting someone (preferably one of them, though consequence would come with that).

Grabbing at the neck of a bottle nearby, she swings it with a shout and watches as it smashes against the closest wall, spilling blood and shards of glass everywhere. It's difficult for her mind to rest when it sees nothing but anger and frustration. Though she shows no concern for interruption from any. Her temper fiery, many know they will be met with dismemberment should they even dare step into her chamber (something that she almost wishes Ferid would dare to try right now). Though of course, certain exceptions are made to some. ]

[The first night after Perk and Genewen pulled them out of the ancient ruins, Wil had taken first watch for four hours, then he'd woken Amberle for her turn of the same. He tossed. He turned. No matter his position, there seemed to be a rock poking into some organ or another. He he couldn't stop worrying about Eretria. Or the army of demons. Or their mission in general. He was pretty stoked about having been able to use the Elfstones, the last time he tried, even if they'd broiled the palm of his hand again.

It was a combination of so many things that prevented him from finding sleep. He finally gave up and scooted closer to the fire, shooting a sideways glance at Amberle with a slight shake of his head.]
I'm okay. I just can't sleep.

The bust was set for tomorrow. Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow. Always tomorrow. It always wasn't the day that Rory wanted it. Everything seemed to have soon, the next day, give it some time. He hated waiting. Rory was not a patient man and to try and fill the time between now and then, he was tinkering, always tinkering. Their shop was set up blue and red and Rory liked it like that. His hot stuff, Snart's cold stuff.

His handgun had been acting up, so Rory was working on it, trying to refine it, make it work better, faster, longer. He just hated staying up with nothing to do.

[Rey is hungry. It's an odd reminder of her little home back on Jakku and while she doesn't miss it, there are parts that she does like lying in her hammock, watching the sun set or the utter quiet that had been her whole life. It seems like quiet doesn't exist any more, only in the dead of night when everyone is asleep. Rey has taken to creeping around in the quiet, dark halls and exploring or reading.

Tonight she's hungry though and she doesn't like to be hungry; it hurts in more ways than just physical. It reminds her week long storms that nearly killed her. It doesn't happen often any more these days, but sometimes she forgets because after nearly 12 years of struggling to scavenge for food its become a habit to ignore the hollow feeling in her stomach.

When she reaches the kitchen she's ravenous and she can feel the weakness in her bones as she reaches for ingredients. Rey doesn't really know how to cook, not unless it's a ration but she has got the basics down now. She pulls eggs from the fridge and a pan from cupboard, but it's heavy and the pots stacked in it give her pause. She's hurrying, trying to beat the dizzy spells that are sure to start soon and in her haste the pots and pan tumble to the floor with a loud crash. She winces. Waits for everyone to wake up.]

sorry for the delay!
