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. |

9 with shades of 4; omg hi
It's not that she's impatient, it's just that she can't stand being unable to do anything to help, even if she knows there's nothing that can be done. Similarly, she dislikes waiting for things to happen, too. Waiting for uncertain things, like Zidane's return, is difficult -- no, no, it will happen, it will just take time... But on the other hand, waiting for inevitable outcomes is harder.
Tonight, on a night she's so fully charged with anxiety that it doesn't even feel like fatigue anymore, seems like as good a night as any to talk to Vivi about something that's been weighing on her. Sneaking out seems easier than it probably should, even in the same familiar White Mage cloak she'd used the very first time she'd tried such a thing, but she thinks she may have Beatrix's occasional bouts of leniency to thank for that.
Although she knows he's in town somewhere for tonight, she has no idea where he'd spend his sleepless hours, and it troubles her that asking herself, "Where would I go if I were Vivi now?" only eliminates a few possibilities. And she can't move around as freely right now...
The answer to this problem turns out to be flagging down Kupo where he's asleep in the chapel and pestering him enough to go scouring for Vivi, with the promise of a Kupo Nut or twelve in return. Of course. As for Dagger, though, she decides to climb up the chapel ladder to the rooftops, hoping the view will help her.]
((OOC: Hopefully there is enough of an opening there? ;; Aaaaah, Vivi...!!))
Hai! And yes! <3
O-okay!
[Getting up, he follows the Moogle, asking him little questions along the way. Small talk. He's okay at that, now, at least with them. Finally, he finds himself approaching the chapel.]
Dagger...?
