Insomnia

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?

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.

[ooc: hope this is okay! please let me know if not and I'll be happy to rewrite, also happy to change formats if you'd prefer not to use brackets.]

[This is a delicate time.

The battle may be won and the hotel rebuilt, but Alastor isn't quite so full of disgustingly naïve optimism as the rest of the residents. His reputation is one of the things that keeps the hotel relatively safe, and that reputation may well be under threat from something much more damning than a lengthy absence that could easily be spun to add to his own mystery. No, if he knows the Vees, there's bound to be footage of the battle, which means footage of his humiliating defeat to Adam.

True, he won't show up well in it, but even distorted, even blurred, having that released would be a blow hard to recover from. It itches like cockroaches crawling under his skin, fuelled by the painful wound hidden carefully beneath his clothes, an almost manic dark desire to eviscerate anyone who saw his disgrace.

So when Charlie had asked him, all hopeful big eyes and bleeding heart, if he would pull some more strings to get another new commercial aired, well... He could do it from the shadows as he had before, going through layers of contacts, or he could use this as an opportunity to send a message. A very personal message about how he isn't out of the game.

It's late, well outside of business operating hours, but that's just a small disrespect to add flavour to this whole thing (and he couldn't sleep), when he walks calmly into the lobby of the Vees Tower as if he belongs there. He makes sure he projects an air of nonchalance as he approaches the reception desk, as if he's never heard the term "injury from holy weapon", as if the Vees were so inconsequential as threats that he could walk into their inner sanctum without the slightest fear of harm.]


Salutations~!

[He smiles widely at whatever goon is on reception.]

I'm here for my two am appointment, my good man.

[It doesn't matter that he doesn't actually have an appointment, he hardly thinks his trip here will be wasted. Either Vox will be alerted by the poor confused creature at reception, or perhaps he already has been alerted by the way his many cameras will be glitching at attempting to record him. Whichever, he doesn't imagine he'll have to wait long.]
