INSOMNIA MEME ASSEMBLE.


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.

Ooooh, looks like someone's a little cranky today.

[He's not the slightest bit sorry.]

Is it so wrong for a mech to wanna spend a little quality time with his squishy-organic friend? Is that a crime here? If so, it's hardly the worst thing I've ever done---that would be the grenade-rifle incident---so don't get your tiny leather-pants in a twist.
megamind: (Facepalm)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-09-09 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I am usually cranky when awoken for no Godly reason in the middle of the night before a huge scheme! [ Yes, he's lecturing a giant robot. Totally. He doens't care. ] Can't you spend time with me at a decent, sane hour?
wiredfriendlyfire: (Can I keep it?)

[personal profile] wiredfriendlyfire 2012-09-09 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I could, I mean, it's a physical possibility. I just don't want to wait that long.

[Seriously. Organic creatures sleep way. too. much.]

Besides, why wait when we can start right now? It's not like there's a set time you've gotta pull this off at or anything, is there?

[Yeah, he didn't really pay attention when the plan was being explained.]
megamind: (Jammies)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-09-10 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ He is standing there in his jammies looking so cross, Misfire. ]

No. Just-- no. I'm not explaining why we can't. Nobody will care! Nobody will see it! That's why! Okay, no. We're not starting now.

Now I need coffee.
wiredfriendlyfire: (Whazzat?)

[personal profile] wiredfriendlyfire 2012-09-10 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He's completely used to that look. It has no effect on him anymore.]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure people will care about massive property damage or an obscenely large amount of stolen goods whether they see it happen or not. But then, what do I know? I've only been arround longer than this entire species has existed.

[He doesn't seem to realize that age doesn't necessarily equal wisdom. Or any measure of intelligence, really.]

---What's coffee?

[Case in point.]
megamind: (Jammies)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-09-10 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Advanced fuel for humanoids. Does nothing for you robots.

[ He shuffles off deeper into the lair to get a pot on, okay. Misfire just doesn't understand timing. ]
wiredfriendlyfire: (I'm so agreeable!)

[personal profile] wiredfriendlyfire 2012-09-10 10:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh really. How do you know? I think we should test this theory.

[No. No no no. No. Megamind, do NOT let the giant alien robot with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have caffeine. It will not end well.]
megamind: (Facepalm)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-09-10 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Because you lack the necessary organic organs. Now stop asking.

[ Even Megamind isn't evil enough to unleash Misfire on a coffee binge. ]
wiredfriendlyfire: (What's up loser?)

[personal profile] wiredfriendlyfire 2012-09-11 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I got a fuel-pump, don't I? Isn't that enough?

[Now he's just being a pest.]

Besides, what sort of 'advanced fuel' can only be used by one species? Seems kinda limiting to me.

[He's used to Energon, okay. He's sort of a stuck-up fuel-elitist.]
megamind: (Facepalm)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-09-11 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Not enough. And we've been over this. IT's the same reason why humanoids can't consume energon, you twit.
wiredfriendlyfire: (I have an idea)

[personal profile] wiredfriendlyfire 2012-09-11 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hey hey hey, there's no need for name-calling, squishy.

[Said pot to kettle. He's just gonna poke you in the side now, just because he can.]

We're I one of the more bad-tempered Cons--which you're lucky I'm not--you'd be a thick blue paste splattered across my foot by now.

[It's not a threat, honestly. It's just a morbid observation from someone who's been pretty desensitized to all manner of violence and atrocity.]
megamind: (Arrogant)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-09-11 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Which is why you're not beset by my many awesome weapons when you drop by, idiot. [ Please he's not afraid of robots he builds them as a hobby. ]
wiredfriendlyfire: (I'm so agreeable!)

[personal profile] wiredfriendlyfire 2012-09-11 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Pfff. You're weapons aren't that great.

[He's lying through his teeth.]

Especially not when compared to Cybertronian technology.

[Yep. He's totally gloating. He even spreads his arms and gestures to himself to illustrate his point.]

It's no contest. Just look at this fine craftsmanship.
megamind: (All According To Plan)

[personal profile] megamind 2012-09-11 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not great. They're fantastic.

[ He cares not for your stupid cybertronianness. ]
wiredfriendlyfire: (I have an idea)

[personal profile] wiredfriendlyfire 2012-09-12 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe by Earth-standards.

[Two can play the unimpressed-game.]

All your weapons are practically toys compared to Decepticon tech.
