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.

N-no. I'll eat it. We shouldn't make it go to waste. It's better than what we usually manage at least.

[Actual hot meals without a fire and the resulting smoke potentially giving them away and all. So, he doesn't want to pass on the chance to figure eating something if Kimizuki made too much for himself. So he takes a spoon, trying a mouthful. He doesn't even care if it might burn slightly because it's something warm. Something.....well, almost comforting and nostalgic in a way, porridge.]

Not bad though. Better than the girls, what they'd make. Burn, more like.

[There's a reason it is usually Kimizuki or occasionally Yuu that cooks.]

[rostered]

[ the teasing comparison has kimizuki's lips quirk into a smile for all of half a second. it's one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it happenstances.

testing the meal for himself, it's not... as awful as it could be, certainly. sometimes he wishes he had better ingredients at his disposal if only to earn the proper reputation of being more just not bad. ... and also that his comrades could eat better, but that's a more difficult inference.

flatly: ]

Burn the whole house down too, while they're at it.

[dejerate]

[Luckily, if Yuu does notice the upward curve at Kimizuki's lips, he doesn't outright say anything. Even if he might appreciate the rarer sight. And the sound of his own laughter once he's swallowed his mouthful of porridge.]

Ha! Yeah. It's safer to get someone else to cook.

[Yuu doesn't care about traditional gender roles, more concerned with whoever is best for the task at hand. In this case of cooking, that is.....decidedly not either Shinoa or Mitsuba.]

Considering what we have to work with this is still better than what we've been downing recently though. We lucked out with this place.

[He....probably still feels kind of bad, given the rest defected and are on the run because of helping him out and all. But it's something, how easily their standards and habits, their expectations of a lot of things change with the circumstances.]
