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. |

awww the best <3 will be slow this next week but am not dropping :)
"You're so..." he began before narrowing his eyes, turning his head and looking away. He paused, running his tongue slowly along the silver teeth. "Good." To me- but he didn't say that. "So...warm." Just not physically, which was what brought him to his feet; he was wearing only some baggy lounge pants that rode low on his hips. Maybe he did need to join her in the other room.

"C'mon, Puddin'. Let's go cuddle in bed with the babies. No need to stay out here all cold if y'can't sleep."

The Joker nodded and moved with her to stay connected to the warm body. Their bedroom was large and while it had a fireplace, it wasn't easy to heat. It was more often than not their bodies and what they did together that warmed that bed.
"Four days." He muttered before snarling, mad that he hadn't slept in so long, but the anger didn't last and quickly faded. "Do you...remember... all of the things I told you- in Arkham?" When she was his psychiatrist before his lover.

"Not all of 'em, no. Sorry, Puddin'." Harley frowns, but he sort of had done a number on her with the impromptu frying session he'd put her through. Four days of no sleep could do a number on someone, Harley knew. Just a day straight made you as functional as a drunk. No doubt his insomnia was a part of his madness.
"C'mon, baby. Let's lie down. We can talk if you wanna."
no subject
He made it to the bed, walking to his side to lie down far easier. She may have assisted him, but once his head was to the pillow, he was pulling her to fall down with him. A smile came easily when he felt her weight, however light, was on top of him.
"Whaddya say if we sought out...oh...what's his name...the guy with ah- the hitman. Your friend...what do ya say if we got him to go after that Bat...hmmm? Then...rob a bank...start a family...become...king..."
no subject
Did he really want that? It lightened her heart, but...she wasn't sure that was him talking or the sleep deprivation.
"Deadshot. I'm sure he'd love a crack at the Bat since the Bat went kerplat on his family plans." She leans down and covers him, placing her head on his shoulder. "You sure you wanna family, though? What about your plans, Puddin'?"
no subject
"I want...all of the plans-" a hand with its fingers spread wide went up into the air, waving across his line of sight, "You and me...taking over- like a king and queen..."
"A family...mmm...my family before-" His face grimaced, knowing he had told her in therapy what had happened in his past, but unsure now if she still knew. "They...get in the way..." Certainly not meaning that she would, but he didn't clarify. Had he thought of a family with her? Possibly...
