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.

yiss!
nearing the couch, he peers over it, making sure she's reading the approved material for the day. of course she's reading Stefan's purple prose.
don't mind him, he's just going to drop himself onto the couch next to her. )
Has anything X-rated happened yet, or is it all Disney princes and rabbits? You know, Stefan leads a very Cinderella life. Instead of talking mice, he has an ex girlfriend that won't give it up.
( that's you, Katherine! you don't know when to quit! )
no subject
[ she closes the journal with a snap as he sits next to her, tossing it to the side. he's not wrong about the prose; she'd gotten to a particularly irritating passage about history class and been close to stopping in her reading anyway. she's not sure why she'd picked this journal anyway; she's not going to find anything interesting in the newer chapters of his life. ]
Hmm. And a wicked brother who took a page out of the ex-girlfriend's book. [ you really wanna talk about people who don't know when to quit, damon? ]
no subject
( everyone is snugged up tight. but he doesn't say that. because she knows that. kicking his feet up, he slouches against the couch. stretching out. )
And what is the wicked brother not giving up on Kat?
no subject
[ she was, actually, up until a few minutes before he'd walked in. then she'd rolled her eyes and gone back to reading the journal. she'd figured damon wouldn't be in the mood for talking, but since he'd started it up... ]
Oh, you know, the idea of finding his unrequited love one day, trying to find ways to save those who don't want to be saved.
no subject
We're not past that? That's Book One. Spoiler alert: your unrequited love is in another castle and never loved you in the first place. You're over it.
( Proverbial you. Him. He's over it. Over. It, Kitty Kat. )
no subject
You still think I'm talking about me?
[ spoilers, she was talking about him and elena. she's a little dubious that he's truly over her, though; 145 years is a lot of history and pining for him to just shrug off. ]
no subject
( Her point, missed, it's clear he does have something for Elena. Something deep he doesn't let himself feel. Something he thought he'd put aside quite effectively. But go ahead, Katherine. Twist that knife.
See where it gets you. )
no subject
[ for someone on the run for her own safety, she seems to be very disinterested in her own self preservation at the moment. not as if she couldn't easily handle him if he decided to attack, but he could always kick her out.
but then they'd be without her help. quite a dilemma. ]
no subject
See what you want to see, Katherine. I think we both know I'm dating a cute reporter. And your descendant loves Stefan. No matter how much you tried to stop that from happening.
( having Jenna stab herself. low point, really. )
