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. |

rolled a 2 hee hoo
[ So Shintaro went to bed earlier that night only to realize that his empty stomach was what was keeping him up, tossing, turning, and restless. And as a result, he had decided to deal with it by heading to the kitchen and opening the fridge to see what he could come up with for a midnight snack.
The only result he got was one of the ice-cube trays (filled with ice, mind you) accidentally slipping out as he tried to pull something else out and hitting his foot. ]
shintaro has the thirst.
by the light of shintaro's freezer, kuroha's glowing yellow eyes light up in the dark room. he looks like he's been waiting, perhaps for some time. however, the snake doesn't move, instead, standing there immobile as he stares at shintaro fumbling about with things even in his own house.
what an idiot.
he takes a single step, boots clunking against the wooden floor. ]
he doesnt have the thirst fo r kuronerd
"--What are you doing here?"
i never said that he did he just has the thirst
I was in the area.
[ really, why was he here? something told him shintaro would be up this late, and his feet had carried him here before he knew it. had he wanted to see shintaro? that's a ridiculous notion, the idea that some part of haruka carried over to the snake's memory. it's disgusting, he could throw up. ]
How have you been, Shintaro?

He proceeds to dump the shattered ice cubes into the sink, and puts the empty container back into its original place in the refrigerator. That's when he finally turns to face the other, response on his tongue. ]
"The usual. Lacking sleep, really." [ Oh, right. He almost forgot his original intent-- he wanted food. ]
