1. Sit-ups. He blames Jack for this. 2. Meditation. He seeks out Teal’c, and if he thinks he sees candlelight under the door, he knocks. 3. Some of his favorite insomniacking nights are when Sam can’t sleep either, and they throw wads of paper at each other and discuss Meaning of Life stuff. He tells her about different cultures’ religions and philosophies, she tells him about physics, and they argue for hours over how much of it is natural, how much social conditioning, and what could really be out there. 4. Mitchell is a surprisingly good chess player. He is not, however, quite so good at Scrabble at three in the morning. (Mitchell has repeatedly asked why Daniel has to foist his insomnia on others. Teal’c looks blank, Sam shrugs, and Daniel blinks. Mitchell has decided that SG-1 have spent far too much time with each other.) 5. Once, once, he looked for Vala. When he explained why he was up and wandering around at this time of night, she promptly started listing off a variety of activities they could embark upon, starting with “space pirating through the Stargate” and ending with various sexual positions. Daniel continues to refuse to admit how long it took him to flee the scene, or to admit which options he actually considered while listening to her, or which options he might still be thinking about for future wakeful nights.
Heh. #4 may or may not be based on what my mom has threatened to my dad...he *always* wins at Scrabble. i'm sure Mitchell is a lot better at the game when he's, y'know, coherent.
um...i meant to type, daniel looking for the candlelight. meep. anyway, heh i love that your mother has been smart about that. i should try it with my sister.
as for cameron...i'm guessing he has a secret scrabble partner with whom he communicates by a nearly invisible ear piece. yes, could be jack who offered to help him out in a weak moment?
Jack doesn't seem like a scrabble kind of guy to me. And if he tried to do that over a chess game, Daniel would so hear him muttering in Cameron's ear.
i vaguely recall a very funny jack and daniel scrabble scene in an anais story i think...not sure...i think it involved daniel just kicking butt and jack complaining...it was hilarious. so you're right...he wouldn't really be into it other than as a way to mess with daniel if he could.
as for daniel hearing jack muttering into cameron's ear? bwahahah! i've got this perfect image now of daniel leaning across the table to grab cameron by the ear: "jack, i know you can hear me....."
He was bored. Everyone else had gone home, or actually had gone to bed. What else could he do other than throw spitballs at the airman on duty in the Gateroom? :p
