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.
• Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• (Or, if you want, you can write your usual TL based on the prompts, I'm no cop.)
• Have fun! o p t i o n s01 • 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. |

((its a dream its fine its fine. says bullshit that's probably true about dreams or maybe not in kingdom hearts. who cares.))
"Aventur--" Chirithy stops mid sentence, as they actually take in how their friend looks. "...ine... oh..." Dreams are dreams, but sometimes dreams are real, too. And that means...
"Are you hurt?! What happened?!"
no subject
Aventurine winces at the shrill tone, the cat's worry cutting through his shoddily placed facade and the general hush of the night. Still he smiles, buttoning his shirt up fully, ignoring the slight tremor of his fingers. He then crouches down to be on a better level with the critter.
"I was. It- It's healing. Okay? Or...it did? I'm not really sure, to be honest, ha," he replies with more than a little forced cheer. "When I uh...stopped being a passenger for a bit," When he died again. And after he got stabbed for no freaking reason- "it got kinda foggy, and I came back with my cornerstone just. Here now, I suppose." He shrugs, sucking a breath in through his teeth because that was a stupid move too. Ow.
"Most days I forget it's there, but...I think the weather is making that hard to do right now..."
no subject
Chirthy knows a thing or two about injuries and scars - scars they could never heal on Mint after the war, scars that pulled a certain way with certain weather... But that looks less like a scar and more like... Chirithy doesn't know.
But also, Chirithy has never seen someone falling apart before. This is beyond the realms of hearts and Heartless and Dream Eaters. This is something a bit like Daybreak Town glitching, breaking down with corrupt data, and yet, nothing like that at all!
They reach a little paw out towards Aventurine.
"What's... a cornerstone? Is that yours? We don't have those, in my world..."
And then, because they were quite literally created to be the mom friend, they add:
"I know this is a dream, but that doesn't mean I don't know healing magic. Do you think it would help?"
