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.

I like it. And all the better spent. [Hell, even she felt satisfaction in that job.]
[She stood, moving to crack her back and groan.] I packed your bag. It's on the floor with mine. I figured you were going to take photographer, so I tossed in that broken camera. I'm all packed and ready. We'll want to get to the air port early to get past security.
[she started for the kitchen, paused and glanced back at him.] And in case I didn't say it. Good work yesterday.

[ Booker shrugged but he appreciated her praise. It meant a lot coming from their newly elected leader.
He got their things together, making sure to conceal a few weapons. There was a stash in Greece though it was closer to Athens and it would take them awhile to get it if they needed serious weaponry.
All the bags ended up by the door before he joined them all for breakfast. He had a print out for Joe and Nicky of their transport and lodgings for their mission. He had another for Nile of her new cover and all the details. He made her a graduate of the University of Chicago just because. ]

[She knew she could do the computer work like Booker did, but not LIKE Booker did, and the forgery would be, well, a disaster. It was his specialty and she valued it.]
[She got coffee, and more coffee. And some toast. Nicky had made real breakfast again. A 'one last morning before we split up' moment. Nile hated the feeling of splitting up, but she knew they would be together again shortly.]
[Joe and Nicky ate, and looked over what Booker got for them. They were packed and ready to take off as soon as they were done with food. Nile said she'd take care of dishes. She hugged each of the boys and wished them luck, and watched them leave before them, leaving the lock up of the safe house to Booker and her.]
[While she cleaned up the kitchen, and then took a quick shower herself, she changed into appropriate travel clothing for a graduate of UoC. Which she HAD noticed, and smiled sadly about. In all truth, she should have graduated there. it was her goal after the marines.]
[Washed up and changed, she waited on the arm of the couch for Booker to finish what he was doing, be it a shower himself or just locking down.]
You almost ready? [She called, swinging a leg lazily off the couch.]

He dressed a little nicer too but comfortable for the plane because he fully intended to sleep the whole time and make up for what he's lost. The last thing he grabbed was the book he's been reading to her. Booker doubted there would be quiet nights like before while they were working but he wanted it.
Just in case. ]
Yeah, yeah, I'm ready. [ He swung his backpack over his shoulder. ] Let's get the hell out of here.

[then that she wanted to.]
[Then it felt awkwardly too late, so she shut up and followed him out the door, stepping ahead of him and letting him lock it down.] Greece, here we go.
