user;; Checkinder
name;; Rea
pronouns;; She/Her

prompt 01;;
Surprisingly? She's not a very tired gal! She's got a resting angry face for sure, but is otherwise a really chill lady who just wants to drink her Starbucks in peace. Rea would fall under a 2/10 on a good day, though can average about a 5/10 on a day where she stayed up too late doing on thing or another.

prompt 02;;
Saturn - Sleeping At Last. Rea was left alone from a young age, much younger than many should be. She lost both of her parents in a tragic accident. Every summer night, they'd wake her up and pull her up to see the fireflies dancing in the skies like living stars. Now, when her friends are in their darkest moments, she takes them out to the most remote place she can and point out all of her parent's favorite constellations and tell them that, even in the grand scheme of things, they'll always matter. A star is only a speck in the sky and they're adored by many, so why wouldn't one speck of dust be worth the same?

prompt 03;;
Loves her eggs sunny side up, hardboiled, or scrambled. Not very picky in terms of them. Her coffee, however, is a very different story. She loves to order the drink that will get her the strangest looks in public and drink it with a straight face. However, when she's alone, Rea will drink way more black coffee than is probably healthy. It explains why she's not tired, really!

prompt 01;; uh, 72. Hannah is always tired. ever since the coronavirus shut her school down, her sleep pattern has gone from this:

to this:

in under 2 nanoseconds.
therefore, she's falling asleep at 4:37 in the morning and waking up at 5:53 in the afternoon.
prompt 02;; New Friends, except clean because there's children here. Hannah always either abandons her friends, or she just befriends the wrong kind of people. She's rich for her age, so most of her friends like to use her. They don't really care about her, they just care about her money. Hannah likes to mess with these kinds of people, but due to it happening to her often, she automatically thinks of everyone as a money-hogging idiot.
prompt 03;; Hannah likes scrambled eggs, but the best kind of eggs? Deviled eggs. She absolutely loves deviled eggs and can devour an entire batch of them in one bite. Her coffee, on the other hand, is milk. 0.01% is coffee, and the other 99.99% is milk. She hates the bitterness but she needs the energy boost to stay awake.

[L U C I F E R]

user;; L U C I F E R

name;; Azier

pronouns;; He/him

prompt 01;; Ten, and yet, Zero. He feels exhausted, his body screams for rest, and yet he is not sleepy. Perhaps it is the fact that 90% of his blood is probably caffeine, or maybe it is the emptiness within that gnaws at his insides and keeps him awake. There's something gone there, maybe it's love and affection or maybe this is all just some absolute rubbish that he made up for attention on his edgy little tumblr blog - safe to say he's still salty about MySpace. The real reason for his tiredness is the fact that he stays up all night on said tumblr blog complaining about anything, mostly the fact that he's tired. It's a vicious cycle, and he's not really doing anything to stop it...then again, at least he's happy (though you couldn't tell from that dead look in his eyes)

prompt 02;; Not Today - Twenty One Pilots
This song represents the two conflicting halves to Azier. I think the verse that really got me was "kListen, I know
This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds
But the lyrics are so down
It's okay though
Because it represents, wait, better yet it is
Who I feel I am right now" since it just goes to show how dark and sad he appears but, in reality, he's quite soft. While it's the opposite of the lyrics, it shares the same mentality: Looks can be deceiving.
The whole song contrasts appearances to the inner mind, while also showing this strength in the repeated "Not Today". Azier is fighting many battles, and while he may be struggling to win them, he's not going to lose them, Not Today.

prompt 03;; Azier likes his eggs like he likes his lovers: soft and fluffy. Azier is a scrambled egg kinda guy, usually adding extra bacon and spices to add more flavour and interest to an otherwise plain breakfast meal. While he often enjoys such commodities as breakfast well after noon, a plate of his specially made scrambled eggs is his favourite way to start the day. Now, as for coffee, when it comes to pure caffeine requirements, as many espresso shots as will fit into his travel mug will do him fine, but for enjoyment, he loves a mocha. It has the appeal and sweetness of a hot chocolate, while maintaining that slightly bitter taste (and caffeine content) of a coffee - the perfect mix.

[SputnikSplash]

user;; SputnikSplash
name;; Bee
pronouns;; He/him
prompt 01;; 10/10, 24/7, but he can't sleep. Well, at least ever since... the discovery. It all happened when he was a young little lad. How Bee remembered how he used to get lots and lots of sleep, often to the point of oversleeping. "Little Sweet Dreams" his parents nicknamed him. Then one day his parents decided (even though he was still young) that he was old enough to stay home alone without one of the parents watching over him. They made clear instructions on what to do and not do, and to stay out of the basement. Bee had never been down in the basement before, his parents never let him. They said it was infested with big, hairy spiders and centipedes that bite.
About an hour or two later after his parents left to go to their favorite restaurant, he was playing with his favorite toy, a bouncy rainbow ball (like I said, he was still young). He wasn't being careful with it and lost it down the stairs that lead into the basement. He stood at the top of the stairs, looking down into the darkness.
"Don't go into the basement." his parent's voices said in his head. "There are spiders and centipedes."
"It couldn't have gone that far down." Bee said to himself. "I'll just be in and out, and it will be like I didn't go down there at all."
He went down the stairs, and searched the dimly lit room, which smelled really bad for some reason. No favorite rainbow bouncy ball, just a furnace, some boxes, old furniture and... a massive hole in the wall that was badly hidden by an old sheet.
"The ball must have went in there."
He crawled nervously into the hole, which lead into a small, cramped space.
Through the thick darkness was his toy.
Wedged in between the jaws of a skeleton.
A real skeleton.
Not a fake plastic one like the ones in doctor's offices and schools.
A real skeleton, slumped in front of him only inches away.
Bee screamed in horror at the sight and crawled back through the hole in the wall, and leapt up the stairs as fast as he could, forgetting about his favorite toy.
He leapt into his bed and buried himself under the covers, shaking and crying and sweating. It wasn't until another one or two hours until his parents returned. He crawled out of bed, pulling himself together so he could welcome his parents home without them suspecting anything. He never told his parents about it. He was never able to sleep since then, he was always haunted by nightmares of skeletons lying around everywhere. He is now an adult, living in a small house with no basement. He wonders if the "hairy spiders and centipedes" his parents warned him about as a child even existed. He wonders if that was an excuse, and if they knew about that skeleton in the basement. He wonders if... if all along his parents were actually evil.
prompt 02;; Pink Floyd - Is There Anybody Out There? Bee, under all his boring tiredness, is a very nervous and paranoid Kel. Ever since the finding of the skeleton in the basement, he never felt safe or alone. He often wonders at night if anybody's out there, also hiding skeletons in their basement. I feel like this song (if you can call it that) brings that out more.
prompt 03;; Bee likes his eggs deep-fried with butter, milk, sugar, flour, and ground nutmeg and then covered in a delicious glaze, sprinkles or chocolate. In other words, he greatly prefers donuts with his coffee (which he likes black because it wakes him up more). Not really much of an egg fan.

"I thought I'd vocalize my troubles, but nobody will listen
I know I'm cryptic and I'm weird, that comes off as indifferent"
user;; bee
name;; rufus
pronouns;; he/him
prompt 01;; an easy 8/10. rufus recently began a late night podcast, usually accompanied by one of his close friends. the podcast is about both true crime and supernatural discussions, lovingly named "Ghouls and Gore". It goes live every Monday and Friday at 10:30 PM. it's beginning to kick off and gain new listeners every day. once he records a podcast he uploads it to his youtube channel for those who missed it. he recently covered a story about cult killings, which was very popular.
prompt 02;; attention by joji. rufus won't tell you, but he started Ghouls and Gore as a distraction from his recent breakup. his ex was very emotionally needy, wanting the attention of different people and not just him. rufus put up with it for a surprising amount of time before ending it abruptly and without much explanation. he's a bit of an oddball, someone who speaks ambiguously and is often mysterious. he'd been wallowing in his sadness until his friends convinced him to do something with himself. rufus felt the need to speak to people, to have an interaction, but not about his feelings. thus the podcast was born - a place for him to speak and be listened to, but about his interests, not his love life.
prompt 03;; rufus likes his eggs scrambled, tossed with extra cheese and spinach. as far as coffee goes, too much creamer is always the best. vanilla or nutmeg is his go-to. he eats breakfast while uploading last nights podcast, or watching tv with the windows open to hear the birds chirp.

[Griffin Torrens]

user;; Griffin Torrens
name;; Nova
pronouns;; He/him

prompt 01;;
Assuming 1 is full of energy and 10 is practically asleep, Nova is generally around the 6, which is rather surprising when you take a look at how little he sleeps. While his body may betray him, Nova's mind is always awake on running far too quickly for him to ever feel tired, even on his minimal sleep. Why?
This kid is the type to constantly worry about others. He has piles and piles of problems both his friends and him are facing, and his mind will never be satisfied until it comes to a conclusion that lets his friends be at ease. Nova hates to feel like he might let others down, so finds himself staying awake late in to the night, just in case his assistance should be required. Especially when it comes to his boyfriend.
Not only does Nova care deeply for him and do all he can to make sure the other is okay, but he's often left awake at night, pondering over if he's doing a good enough job and how he can better himself.

prompt 02;; Two - sleeping at last
He'd be the one singing it, and I feel the lyrics and tune explain it all <3

prompt 03;;
While Nova adores eggs, he's rather picky. Scrambled egg and omelette is a big no, while egg mayonnaise, boiled (hard or soft) and fried are delicious. His favourite way to eat egg is fried and then placed between two buttered pieces of bread. With some salt, pepper, cheese and mayonnaise inside, it's the perfect fried egg sandwich!
When it comes to coffee, Nova makes his choice based on reason rather than preference. He will only drink it in the morning (doesn't want to mess up his ability to sleep any more!), And it's the time he's most tired, so he simply has it black with nothing added. He likes to make it fresh with coffee grounds, hot water in his special kettle, a seive to get the bits out, and enjoyed in one of his favourite set of matching mugs. (A present from his boyfriend)

[Amplify]

name;; lawrence
pronouns;; he/him

prompt 01;;
More often than not lawrence finds himself stalling at a solid eight on the tiredness scale. Late nights were his favorite times, peaceful and quiet. With few if any distractions from his writing he can easily draft out several pages at a time. Unfortunately, his day job working as a manager for a coffee shop ensures he’s always up early in the morning, and as a result tired and repping his workplace with a coffee cup in hand. [78]

prompt 02;;
King - Lauren Aquilina

prompt 03;;
Deviled eggs are the best type of eggs and he refuses to hear an argument to the contrary. While he admits they may not be the most traditional type of egg, he would argue that it actually makes his choice even better. Nothing can compare to a boiled egg, topped with the rich deviled egg filling, and a thin layer of paprika. Savory in its salty, fulfilling, nature—it’s the perfect compliment to a meal or a nice mid day snack.
As for coffee, despite appearances, the only coffees he drinks are those that are so convoluted they only have a hint of actual coffee taste in them. Caffeine is his savior, that much he knows, but its raw and bitter flavor has always been a turn off. In fact, to this day he remembers the exact taste of his first coffee: a bitter black monstrosity. He had been younger then, less experienced, and the looming threat of finals had him worried and unable to sleep when he wasn’t studying. So for the first time he grabbed a cup of coffee from his house, and took a solid gulp. The bitter tang immediately assaulted his mouth, his whole face contorting as he forced himself to drink it to avoid making a fool of himself. Needless to say, while it did wake him up, from then on he made sure to get flavored coffee, eventually finding sweet chocolate varieties his favorites. [240]
