THE INSOMNIA MEME BEGINS


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?


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.

➟ Smart-mouth, egotistical, bratty wizard.
➟ canon point I automatically play her from has her as a nomad, running away from her duties, kind of purposeless.
➟ feel free to ask about scenarios and scenes! I can always try to set something up.

[Tony's used to staying up late for a number of reasons - too much work, too much energy, too many thoughts in his head keeping him awake. On nights like those, where he falls prey to the thoughts that dig their claws into him and don't let go, he usually ends up raiding the alcohol cabinet.

At this point of the night he'd generally hide in his workshop with a bottle of his choice, but tonight's different. Instead he wanders through the house, bottle of whiskey in hand. He's unsure whether he's looking for someone or just...wandering.]

[Elizabeth was used to her bouts of not sleeping, she had enough memories after all, that sleep was not always the peace it was made out to be. Those nights, she usually spent working, but well, she was not Queen here, and there were no bills to pass. There was nothing and no one to talk to.

Things were quieter without the gossiping of her ladies. She never thought she'd miss it, but she did.

Which lead to the same thing, she was just... wandering. When she saw him, she didn't bother to comment on the bottle of alcohol. Just nodded to him in greeting.

My lord Stark, enjoying the night then?

[It's not that uncommon for Nill to be wide awake in the middle of the night. Either someone else in the boarding house is being too loud, someone is having a bad dream, or yet another someone is getting laid; it doesn't matter what goes on, really, because regardless of what it is, if someone is active enough to be awake, then it probably keeps her up.

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.]
