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.

[ He let out a soft huff, but it was hard to tell in the dark if it was more of a pout or more in amusement. Smoking wasn't a habit he wanted to get into anyway, but whenever anyone told him he couldn't do something it just made him want to. Who would have thought Grandpa would still have some rebellion left inside him. ]

Maybe that's the point.

[brokeassgoing]

[that's the worst kind...doing something just because someone says 'no'. Badou knows a lot about that...his life has taken this turn because he refused being told no as a kid.]

It isn't. Dye your hair, pierce your nips-- don't do something like smoking.

[udderchaos]

Huh... I wonder what I'd look like with dyed hair. I'd be like a brand new person, right?

[ He glanced over at Badou. Maybe gauging for a reaction, or maybe just wondering if he was paying attention. It probably seemed strange, but Badou was someone Haru felt close to. He was an odd guy, but... so was Haru, and he didn't judge all the weird stuff that came out of his mouth.

In a strange way, he was like an older brother or something. ]

[brokeassgoing]

No. No matter what you do, you'll still be the same person you are inside. The same face in the mirror.

[and he at least cares enough about Haru (that he'll never admit) to not lie to him. to not sugarcoat it]

[udderchaos]

You sure? I feel like pink haired Haru would have different opinions than delinquent!Haru. Maybe more bubbly. And cheerful.

[brokeassgoing]

I mean, I dunno-- I think you could play it up, but it wouldn't be...real.

[udderchaos]

I think you might be right. I don't think I could hold onto that new persona for very long.

[brokeassgoing]

Nah you're too-- you. Which isn't a bad thing. But you can't fake it.

[udderchaos]

Is that your somewhat subtle way of saying you like me for me?

[brokeassgoing]

Hey, take that however you want. I'm not the boss of you.

[udderchaos]

I'm going to take it as your fondness for me, otherwise you probably wouldn't be out here with me in the first place.

[brokeassgoing]

[rolls his eye]

Yeah. You're an alright kid. You're not annoying or anything.

[udderchaos]

[ Badou was free to shove him away if he wanted to, but while he had the moment, Haru scooted closer just to lean his head against his shoulder a little. ]

[brokeassgoing]

[jeez...how can he be mean to a goober like Haru? He'd be heartless. He lets him, settles the kid's weight against him and ruffles his hair lightly]

[udderchaos]

You know... as much as you like to deny your good parts... you really do know how to make me feel more at ease.

[brokeassgoing]

Well... [he hums, a little-- bashful? surprised?] It's nice to hear that kinda stuff at this age, I guess?
