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?

• 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. |

The only plans I have involve heading back to bed soon. But, I see how it is. You're getting your revenge for my inadvertently waking you up by keeping me from getting any sleep as well.
no subject
That's the plan.

[She has her phone tucked under her chin right now. He might be able to tell from the scuffling sounds when she moves it away from her mouth. Muffled, she's talking to someone else; "Yes, I did want that to go. No. Yes, thank you."]

Do you have wings or don't you?
no subject
No wings. Believe me, those do not come standard to the species. No clue where that idea came from.
Then again, I blame the Ancient Greeks: they had this odd fixation with slapping wings onto about everything.
no subject
Did they? Wonder why.

[There's a longer than standard pause. Not only is she mulling over her response, but she's also walking away: making sure there's no one close enough to overhear this conversation in case she says something too odd.]
I won't lie and say I've never had my moments for being maudlin. But overall, no. I enjoy getting to watch.

[ It's clear from his tone he has no idea what that means. If he did, he'd know he's pretty much on the board of the little club. ]
That's kinky.

My darling, you have no idea. The tales I could tell, had I a care to, could make de Sade blush. [Well that's probably a bit of an exaggeration. But still she says it with confidence.]
no subject
Oh, well, in that case they'd definitely make me blush. I don't know if I should be impressed or worried that you'll start dropping stories just to see what it takes to make me uncomfortable.
no subject
[Wait wait wait for it...]
Although, now that you mention it.

[ Yep, that was definitely the trap. ]
