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 waves to the barman, who greets him with familiarity (he doesn't come here often, but working a few doors down has it's perks) as he sits down at an empty seat, peering at the clock before deciding he's free to enjoy at least a few drinks before he makes his way home. With any luck, he might even find someone to accompany him.. The cafe was busy today, and Adair's hunger for glamour has been appropriately fed, but that's the thing about being a glutton.. satisfaction is always difficult to successfully find and keep.
He orders his drink - a thyme martini - and shoves the olive in his mouth basically straight away, then looks to his left. ]
Oh. Hi~ [ Who's this cutie. Adair wouldn't say he knows everyone around here, but he's definitely capable of recognising most people. This one, though, looks new. And he smells good. ] Do you need a refill? I got paid today.

[He blinks a little when he's addressed, looking over at the - admittedly cute - person down the bar. He gives his drink a look, and then downs the rest, leaving only ice clinking behind. He props his chin on his fist with a fatigued smile.]
Sure. I'd like that. What's your name? 'm Ren.

I could have just ordered you another, no need to rush that one. [ He says, but he takes the glass and slides it to the inside edge of the bar, tapping the glass to silently ask the bartender for another. ] I'm not trying to get you drunk just yet.
[ Adair crosses his arms on the bar, hands on his elbows, and eyes Ren closely. He looks tired. It is late, Adair supposes. Perhaps Ren, like him, is here for a quick one before going home.. ]
I'm Adair. Are you new around here, or..?
