Afraid to Dream

My name is Aislinn, but call me Cricket. I've never slept a night in my life. And I like it that way. Nonfandom OC RP. Mun 21+, muse 18. Tracking insomniphilia

((There's really no deep meaning behind Cricket's nickname. Her mom called her a cricket once, because she was always up all night making noise, and it stuck. Then in school, teachers had trouble figuring out how to pronounce Aislinn (it's ASH-lin) so she just started going by Cricket full-time.))

"Woah, when did you get that?"

"Who did this to you?"

"How many time have I told you to be more careful?"

"You’re saying this was an accident?"

"What a shiner!"

"If you look like this, I’d hate to see the other guy."

"I’m not buying it, you don’t walk into a door and get a bruise like that!"

"Does it hurt when I touch it?"

"Let me kiss it better."

"If you don’t rest, you won’t heal."

"Another fight?"

"What happened to your face?"

"I don’t think your arm is meant to bend like that…"

"Let’s get you to bed."

"Let’s get you to the hospital."

"Why are you so calm about this?"

"You’re bleeding!"

"What are friends for, ey?"

"So, instead of helping you, they ran off the moment they saw what was happening?"

"You need to look where you’re going."

"I’m not accusing anyone, I’m just saying it looks suspicious."

"Do you want to tell me what really happened?"

"Don’t move! You’ll faint!"

"I’ve got some bandages, wait a sec."

"You’re the clumsiest person I know."

"I won’t let you be on your own, not when you’re like this."

"How could you be so careless?"

"I can’t even look at you, you promised not to get into any more fights!"

"H-how many of them were there?"

Alfie: dogs are ew

Cricket: Dogs are great when it's light out.

Cricket: When all their humans have gone to bed except you is when they get obnoxious.

Cricket: Who is this, by the way?

"Do you have a red marker? Or pen?" 

( One of the stickers peeled off her Rubik's cube. There's just a little scrap of white gummy paper left. It's not the only bare spot, or she would just leave it. )

[insomniphilia]

"That is literally impossible. Nathan, tell her!" 

( Yes, she's talking to herself. Or rather, to her imaginary friends. She hasn't yet noticed that there's someone else there. )

"Do I know you from somewhere? Because you look really familiar."

"Anyone ever tell you you look kind of like a serial killer?" 

( Manners, Cricket. Remember those? Apparently not. She doesn't mean it as an insult, though. It's just an observation. )

"Only a little," she was cringing at the hot liquid that had just assaulted her back and was probably spreading in a patch of red. "It’s alright, I’ve had worse."

[insomniphilia]

"I am so sorry." She grabs a handful of napkins, setting down her coffee to try to dry both of them off. "Apparently the only thing more dangerous than me without coffee is me with coffee, without having had coffee, and oh my God I'm rambling, I'm so sorry, seriously, do you want my jacket? You could take that off, it's sort of drenched and stained and probably burning you."

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

"I climbed over the gate my parents put in front of the stairs to keep me from falling and hurting myself. And then fell, naturally. I guess I didn't hurt myself too badly, though, because apparently I kept climbing over it for another month before they got a better one."

"Crap! I'm so sorry. I didn't burn you, did I?"

( Nice going, Cricket. Spill coffee all over yourself and the woman behind you. )
