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?

• 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. |

[it's a boxcutter and he's more than willing to use it if he's forced to. no, he's not happy to see izaya.
his eyes follow the informant with a steady glare and god, he wants to rip his throat out- entering into his life and wrecking the balance that he had worked so hard to obtain... if only he could just choke on the fucking tea and die, life could return to the simple course that c-ta was used to.
and all so that a-ya isn't dragged into the same mess that he's in at the moment. so that a-ya could live normally, unaware of everything that's going on behind the scenes. just the thought makes him tighten the grip on the weapon.]

[ he's still holding the cup in his hands as he observes c-ta. the child is reacting as he predicted, and he supposes that the anger is boiling much, much faster. it shouldn't be too long before c-ta mounts his charge. meanwhile, izaya's fingers linger over the flickblade in his pocket, should he have need to use it. c-ta can't be much faster than shizuo, and there's no way the child will catch him off guard the way simon did. ]
So I suppose I'll have to ask for your expertise, hm?
no subject
Shut up.
[c-ta doesn't say anything else, in an attempt to continue swallowing down the amounting anger inside him. how could he insult what he does for a-ya so freely?! as if he knew half of what he did, the reasons behind them, the pure feelings that he held for his best friend! this person couldn't understand, he doesn't, he doesn't, how dare him, how dare him, how dare him!!]
no subject
it was even better when they tried to restrain that anger, hidden behind some semblance of pride and trying so hard to not get angry when clearly, they already are. that's what makes his life so interesting.
despite c-ta's anger, izaya only laughs, taking a sip from the warm teacup. ]
So you aren't willing to share? I suppose that isn't too hard to imagine... you must want to keep your little secret all to yourself.
