insomnia

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.

omnic buddies best buddies

[ Bastion chirps back at Zenyatta, a distinct little three-note sound that is as close as they'll ever get to saying 'friend', raising their hand in return.

They're happy to shuffle over and sit next to the other omnic. It's nice to spend time in the company of someone who's not going to judge you, sometimes.

After a moment, they readjust themselves in an imitation of Zenyatta's customary meditative pose. They're trying their best.

[ it most certainly is nice to be able to spend time with others in peace and not in conflict. zenyatta believes he is doing the right thing, this siding of his, but everyone, sooner or later, must have some respite from combat.

even bastion. so seeing bastion attempting to mimic his pose is both welcomed and encouraged. he cants his head to the side while he watches and waits, his orbs around him glowing a friendly blue.

that said his interests are quipped by these turn of events. ]
It is rare to see you out in this hour. What brings you out to the evening if I may ask?

[ 'What brings you out?'

Bastion trills, apparently more just to make sound than anything else, before attempting to answer the question.

How do they communicate 'lonely'? They're...not entirely sure, to be honest. After a moment, they mime looking around, then shrugging, then drooping a bit, before straightening up into their (admittedly kind of awkward looking) pose once more.

They tilt their head curiously at Zenyatta. They could ask the same of him, though. He's always outside. Does he like the view?
