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. |

ROSE LALONDE | MSPA: HOMESTUCK
→I tend to draw from the current comics for canon point but I'm open to other possibilities
→any scenario is ok
9ish?
At any rate, Nill isn't sure she'd be able to sleep anyway. It's just one of those nights - the sort that leave her restless and crawling in her own skin.
So instead of waiting for dawn, Nill grabs her knives and her guns, and she goes out into the darkness. Lately there have been a few rare nights where the darkness means nothing - and who really knows if tonight will be one of those nights, but if it isn't... target practice couldn't hurt.
If there were no targets, then she'd find a way to teach herself how to fly.]
no subject
She understands keeping an edge honed though. She flies by night and burns things up with the thorns as her own restlessness dictates. Spotting Nill, she can't help but to recognize the other girl though. Curiosity draws her down from the heights, flying easily and encased in a protective bubble of energy the roars through the air with a sound like a jet engine. Softer, now, as she drifts towards the cityscape, towards the same roof Nill is on, with her needles still bared and her skirt flapping in the night breeze.]
no subject
Nill hears Rose coming, but she can't stop now. She's been psyching herself up for this for awhile, and if she stopped now she might never do it. She does turn back to look at Rose, just for a moment - but the next moment she's sprinting across the rooftop that she's on; and a moment later, with a wave of her arms and a burst of wind and air behind and beneath her, she leaps from the edge.
It's not exactly flying, but she makes it across the gap and kind of crash lands on the next rooftop over thanks to the burst of speed and height the wind gave her.]
no subject
Well, this looks important. She wouldn't want to distract Nill and cause a nasty fall. But she hovers, watching the proceedings quite openly.]
