Why are they so restless?

Twist’s friends told her that at a special time in the night, you could see the Aurora in the night sky, even if you didn’t live in the north. Twist was awake for the whole night waiting to see the precious lights, but later she realised it was a practical joke pulled on her by her friends. Since then, Twist put seeing the Aurora on her bucket list.

Why are they so restless?:
Aspen is very obsessed with his video games. He stays
up all night, every night playing them. They have become
a horrible addiction of his, and he can't stop! Now, you
may be wondering how he can afford to live with this addiction,
and the answer is simple, he programs video games. Aspen
makes video games that tend to be very successful. Therefore,
he doesn't have to make them often, as they get so much
interest. However, this doesn't help his problem, as he continues
buying new video games, and playing his own creations.

Why are they so restless?:
Kichigai is swimming in paranoia. He sees things and his imagination just runs wild with crazy and haunting ideas. Battling with his demons is his what is making him so restless. He also hears noises. Strange clicking, little knocks and sometimes soft footsteps. Of course, Nobody else hears them. With nobody to share this with he wanders the haunted path alone and can come off as insane when he tries to reach out and tell people about these happenings. Not one of this friends hear the noises or experience the same things he does so he doesn't connect with them well but they are friends all the same. This is his reason to show a fun and exciting front when around them.

Gender: Demiboy
Why are they so restless?:
One could say that it all started just by the fact that he never really gets sleep. Like most people his age he tends to stay up quite late (not usually past midnight though, due to some bad relationship experiences) and get those wonderful, strikingly beautiful dark circles under his eyes. He usually got between four and six hours of sleep, but then Christmas rolled around.
Christmas at his house was a different one, his adoptive brother was to have a kid and his parents were no where to be found. His aunt coordinated the whole event, and while there wasn't much present passing they did eat quite a substantial amount of pancakes. Then, Xylo's brother decided to drop the bomb on him that he would be taking Xylo back with him to his apartment for a few days following that Christmas.
Great idea, right?
It was.. at first. Christmas night they stayed up on the couch, screwing around on his brother's PS4 and watching Netflix. His brother's best friend and neighbor, Joe, brought over cookies and cherry sours and played a few games with them as well. They both went to bed at about ten, as they did need to get up the next morning to retrieve his brother's car.
Now, this all seems pretty boring, but I'm getting to the good part.
The second night at his brother's apartment, he hadn't taken a shower and his hair was starting to get a little messy. Since it was unlikely that Xylo would be returning (his aunt didn't like his brother), they decided to stay up late. Really late.
Xylo and his brother busted out his unopened copy of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X and got to work. By midnight they had cleared 3 of the Clouds and completely run through their supply of fruit drinks and candy. Before continuing their conquest, they took a short trip to the gas station one block down the street to refill. A purchase of one Brisk, two Fuzes, a package of Skittles and one of Reese's later they trudged back to the apartment to continue.
By 2:30 in the morning they only had one cloud left. However, Xylo was nearly passing out at the controller, and his brother was laughing nonstop from sleep deprivation. They both made an executive decision to go to bed, and shut the electronics off. As they were getting ready, Xylo tripped over his brother's hamster's ball, falling flat on his face. His brother laughed louder and louder, making the neighbors slam their fists on the wall and shout at them.
Both boys eventually did make it to bed, but it wasn't until after half an hour of laughing over Xylo's clumsiness.

It's quiet, on the border of Dreams and Nightmares. Abaddon paces, tired, exhausted even, but unable to sleep - who will guard if he doesn't? Who will keep the other side from crossing over? His shift of the seven's won't be over for days yet.

The snow, underfoot, is sickly - a mix of sooty-gray from the side of Nightmares and blazing-white from the side of Dreams. Still, it feels chilly and wet under his feet, as it should; Abaddon takes comfort in that. The invasion is only surface-level. So long as they guard, it'll stay that way. He pads through the snow with soft and muffled footsteps, the imitation moons overhead glinting off the blue shine of his fur. (They are all different sizes and colours, from tiny white dots to huge red-orange supermoons to literal cheese moons thought of by children. One for each person who's closed their eyes and dropped below the threshold of sleep, one for every dreamer. The realm of Dreams and Nightmares has no need of stars.)

Crunch. Crunch.

Someone else is coming.

Abaddon stiffens, straightening from his half-slumped wandering; his ears flicker back and forth to track the sound down. He can't quite pinpoint it, but... that doesn't matter. Not when he can see.

A flicker of shadow, one nobody but him could've detected - there! Something on the other side, darting into the bushes. A glint of colour behind the leaves, bright like shining eyes.

The thing giggles behind its shelter, and Abaddon's hackles begin to rise - he steps up nearly to the very edge, stretching himself as tall as he can manage, fur bristling. "Yᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ɴᴏᴛ ᴡᴇʟᴄᴏᴍᴇ ʜᴇʀᴇ."

The thing's laughter stops - Abaddon can feel its gaze on him, sure as any vision right in front of him would be. They're both silent for a long few moments - posturing? Testing each other's will to stand steady? He comforts himself with this thought: it's not coming out, though he stands free and clear in the moonlight. It's sneaky, and conniving, and weak where he is strong. If it weren't scared of him it would have long since come out.

Then it starts to sing.

It's a soft-toned lullaby, beautiful and terrible all at once. Each note rings like a quiet bell, or like a snatch of birdsong and stars - it dances through the night, a melody of every wonderful temptation in the world. A multihued sunset across the water, while you dip your toes in from the dock and lick dripping ice cream off a cone. The flicker of a computer screen when you laugh with a crush late at night. Flying with the wings of a bird, swimming in deep waters like a dolphin, revealing something you made to amazed gasps and cheers. Hypnotized, Abaddon takes a step forward, and another - nearly over the edge -

Notes glint in the moonlight, made visible by the strange airs of the lands asleep.

And Abaddon knows all of it's a lie.

That's why he's here. He has the best eyes in all the lands asleep; if he can't trust them, who could ever trust anything?

He stops, eyes narrowing to shuttered-window slits. It won't get him that way. His lips start to pull back from pointed teeth even as he inches slowly, carefully backwards - just enough so that it can't try to lure him over again. The ones on the other side have a knack for pretty lies, with only terrors underneath.

The thing falls silent again, waiting pensively. It's a long while before it moves or speaks again, and when it does: "Yᴏᴜ ᴜsᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴏғ ᴜs. Yᴏᴜ sᴛɪʟʟ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀ?"

Abaddon's tail lashes angrily - his shine flickers in a wall of glinting eyes. "Dᴏɴ'ᴛ ʙᴏᴛʜᴇʀ. I'ᴍ ᴏɴᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛʀɪᴄᴋs."

There's no answer. Eventually, though - minutes later, or maybe hours? He can't tell, only feel his exhaustion coming back as his adrenaline spills away - the thing vanishes, a rustle of leaves and fallen snow marking where it used to stand.

Abaddon's eyes tell him it truly is gone, but as much as he trusts them he stays on guard for long minutes, twitching at any little sound or breeze. Who knows if it'll bring back more? When he judges enough time's passed, he finally relaxes - but only halfway.

He can't sleep. He has to guard the border of Nightmares.

He musn't let the Dreams in. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl[745 words]

Name: Insuferno
Gender: male
Why are they so restless?:
Insuferno has schizophrenia it's awful to watch him sleep often times kicking and talking in his sleep and spending days on end in dream land only to wake up more tired than when he went to bed. He also is terrified of the dark but can't sleep with a light on. But it's not all bad for insuferno! He recently met a kal that somehow calms him.....his dreams are not as bad when she is around. Although insuferno also suffers from insomnia and his mind never stops racing. While he does hope this new kal could help him move on with his life so he could be perfect for her he is also very cautious of her seeing as he has had his heart broken time and time again.
