hey mister sandman;

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.

[Ben hated it when he couldn't sleep. He looked at the sleeping form of his husband next to him and then slipped out of bed. The windows were open, letting in the gentle summer breeze.

They had been in Mexico for six months now. After the... incident at the holiday party, Cassian had resigned and they moved.

Ben had been honest with Cassisn in the wake of that incident. Of the Vice officers that had taken advantage of him because of his past as a prostitute. He saw how it broke his husband's heart to hear what his fellow officers had done. And how the command didn't believe him even when he reported it.

He slipped out of their bedroom and went down to the garden. Ben loved their life here. He helped his in-laws at their restaurant and practiced his baking. He sat on a bench and looked up at the sky.]

If there's one thing Jesper is, always, at all times, even in the dead of night when people are meant to be sleeping, it's restless. Sometimes, it's like an itch under his skin he can't scratch, a desperate need to just cease all the awful stillness and move; other times, it's a whirring in his brain that he can't block out.

That deep-seeded sense of fidgety energy is what has him wandering not far from the encampment. He tries to stay quiet but, well, you try to walk around in boots and not break a twig or two.

[ In King's Landing tonight there's a full moon, a round, bright coin pressed into the middle of the sky. Most of the night guards are already out on their patrols on the walls — they need no white cloaks to mind them. Ser Barristan would prefer to stay outside the King's door, but these days, that task falls to Jaime Lannister, who hasn't left the King's side since he was crowned. Instead, here he wanders. Oiled armour for creaking bones, a hand that grasps a sword which can no longer be called to honest service. There are stories, whispers, of the Queen across the Sea. A Targaryen. ]

[ There all honour lies. But he continues, in the corridors, alone — or, not alone. ]

It's late, my lady.

[ Quietly, as he comes up to her. ]

[ Bucky finally 'fessed up and told her what's put him in such a foul mood for so long. All that's done is put her in a foul mood too, fear and dread and a bitter sort of envy that makes no sense twisting her up inside so that she can't even sleep any longer.

He's going off to war, and she's going to be left here without him, properly alone for the first time since that day he helped her to her feet and brushed gravel out of her knees out front of the school door after she got pushed to the ground when she confronted David Leibowitz and called him a bully for what he'd been doing to Ruth-Ann Jablonskowa.

She's been trying to put a brave face on it, to keep from piling even more on his shoulders, because she knows what he's like, and she knows he's upset with himself for doing this to her, like he's the one doing anything. It's not his fault. His number just came up, that's all, same as half the men in Brooklyn. There's nothing they can do about it but endure, so here she is, trying to endure, trying to sleep, trying to keep her breathing even when all she wants to do is curl up in a little ball and cry the way she hasn't allowed herself to since she was a little girl.

Rolling out of bed, she tiptoes past Bucky and lets herself out into the main room, figuring if she's going to be sitting around awake, she might as well do it somewhere she can actually sit instead of trying not to toss and turn. ]

[It's late, and the road is pretty empty. Except for the teenage girl with her on the side of the road. She looks normal for a runaway.

Except that she doesn't register at all on thermal imaging. There's no facial recognition match for any missing persons, or even in social media profiles. And yet, to the naked eye, there she is, in torn up jeans and a faded t-shirt, making like Alanis with one hand in her pocket, and the other with her thumb hitched out in, if not a peace sign, another universal gesture.]
