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. |

[ Blanc refuses to let adorable canine antics cut through her righteous and totally justified anger, though. She brusquely deposits some peanut butter into a bowl and places it on the floor. A few moments later, and Blanc sits next to Amaterasu with her back against the wall, cradling her cup of milk and a plate of cookies. ]
[ Ginger cookies, no chocolate chips. She's done her research on what sorts of food would be bad for dogs and wolves, and she's nothing if not thorough. ]
... how often do you deal with rival goddesses?
no subject
[Pausing mid-lick, she looks over at Blanc and shakes her head. Couldn't say she dealt with much like a rival goddess all too often... actually, she doesn't think she has at all before.]
no subject
[ ... dammit. If Blanc didn't know better, she's think that Amaterasu HAS to be doing that on purpose. ]
[ She faces forward, doing her best to stoically ignore the spectacle of a wolf with her mouth gummed up by peanut butter. She's trying to do ~serious talking~ here. ]
I have three of them. The four of us have our own nations, and we compete for shares- for belief. It's a zero sum game. That's how it's been my entire life. It wasn't for Neptune, we would still be warring amongst ourselves.
[ Blanc's eyebrow twitches. Her knuckles tighten, and the lip of her cup cracks audibly; when she speaks up next, her voice and mannerisms are considerably rougher, a sure sign that she's pissed. ]
And she's a frickin' idiot.
no subject
[Still, she's listening. A zero-sum game huh? Too bad they can't get their nations to actually cooperate. Praying to four deities should really be nothing.]
[Tongue lapping again, she tilts her head. Tell her more about Nepture.]
no subject
Neptune stopped caring about age-old rivalries. You could say she's gotten us to do the same. We still look out for our own nations, but we do team up sometimes. And we don't try to murder each other anymore.
[ Blanc absentmindedly offers her a cookie, still working off a righteous head of steam. ]
But she's a lazy unmotivated airhead who spends more time crashing at our homes and playing games than looking out for her OWN nation! Every time I tell her to go gather shares, she laughs or waves me off or cracks a stupid joke! How WOULDN'T that drive anyone crazy!?
no subject
[Chewing is much better than lapping peanut butter, and Amaterasu is able to nod. Sounds like her fluffy sheep daughter. At least there's no alcohol involved... right?]
no subject
She'd be happy just eating pudding and playing games all day. The more I try to whip her into shape, the more she digs her heels.
no subject
Wruf ruf...
[Nailed it.]
no subject
[ ...... Blanc snorts. She grabs a cookie, not yet noticing that there's only a third of what she started with. ]
So what do you think? Should I keep pushing her, or let her go at her own damn fool pace?
no subject
[Swallowing again, she turns to Blanc and places a paw on her leg. She thinks neither, but concern would be a good way to start.]
no subject
... also, if you keep eating all the cookies, I swear I'll turn you into a fur coat.
