[my_belfry_of_fun]

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.

Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

v lives in a perpetual state of 6

[ V'd tried to sit in bed for long enough that he'd finally given up and resigned to the fact that this would be a sleepless night. He'd managed to scrounge up a bottle of tequila and a shot glass. He poured himself a shot and threw it back, glancing up at the sound of someone walking as he poured his second. ]

Havin' trouble too?

[ithoughtyouwereamyth]

Possibly just disturbed by the noise and being rudely awakened thereof.

[It was only a bit snarky; V wasn't a Belmont after all. Nor was Alucard...Adrian that is, too bothered. Night and day were only cycles as far as he was concerned, and he'd been known to spend long periods of time asleep already.]

Although I have been told it's unwise to drink alone, so perhaps I'm simply here to spare you from doing something stupid.

[bodyoftheseus]

Not my fault you're too nosy to turn back over'n get back to sleep.

[ Said without skipping a beat, though without much teeth behind it. An awful lot of bark with very little bite, but who could blame him at this hour. ]

Couple'f shots're nothing compared to my usual evening. [ He threw the second shot back, immediately starting to pour a third once the glass was back down. ] Won't say no to the company though.

[ithoughtyouwereamyth]

Better I be "nosy" and ensure it's not some threat in the night coming to attempt to end my life. Again. than I be caught unawares.

[There wasn't much bite or bark in the return shot. As it was, Alucard simply moved to grab the wine and pour himself a glass.]

It might be nothing, but who knows what whims might take you now instead of all of the other times you're drunk.

[Clear enough he was going to be company, bringing the bottle and his glass, and sitting nearby.]

[bodyoftheseus]

Need better locks if that's the concern.

[ Or to just opt to not sleep, which is what V most often did back at home through a rather rigorous and unhealthy mixture of uppers, alcohol, and work.

He threw the third back, setting the glass down. He didn't immediately start to pour another - he knew himself well enough to know when to stop. ]

What've you do to get people tryin' to kill you at night, then?

[ithoughtyouwereamyth]

Besides existing?

[Alucard arched an eyebrow over his glass, up to his mouth. Smiling a bit, deliberately so, around the rim such that his fangs were visible.]

Sometimes the best locks in the world mean nothing when one has already gotten behind them.
