HOLED UP


You and whoever replies to you are stuck together after falling in a hole.

You're in a deep, dark pit that you can't climb out of easily, and you're trapped together. Maybe it was a trapping pit, maybe it was an open manhole cover, maybe an uncovered well or elaborate secret trap in a spooky house - but whatever the cause was, you two fell for it. Literally.

[This is unfortunately a very familiar sensation.]

[Her fall is probably heralded by one of two things: incongruous laughter, or swearing in Klingon.]

[bradward]

[ Her fall is accompanied by another scream, loud and shrill and Brad's flattening himself against the wall, shivering a little. He was just formulating a plan! He was going to get out of here! He was totally capable without her!

But now someone's here, and Brad breathes to himself: ]

Please don't eat me, please don't eat me, please don't eat me.

Fuu Hououji | Magic Knight Rayearth

[monster_san]

[Fuu might not have been able to stop herself from falling, but at least she can keep herself (and whoever fell with her) from going splat by hastily casting a shield of wind below them before they smack into the ground.]

[moon_heroine]

[True, Usagi was able to hastily turn into Sailor Moon in an attempt to save herself and Fuu, but the two of them did hit the ground even with the wind shield buffering them.]

Ow... a-are you okay?

Kalim Al-Asim | Twisted Wonderland

[warmwelcomes]

[Yeah, this definitely checks out. Probably most definitely his fault.]

[burtgang]

[falling in holes: part of this balanced breakfast!

...not a part that Sarah enjoys, although it isn't her first time either. She looks up at the circle of light above them, wincing as she sits up.]

Agh... [It may be his fault, and she's not best pleased, but that doesn't mean she's going to be callous.] Are you hurt?

[centi]

[ he's able to keep you both hovering with his psychic powers, but whenever he gets any height they give out and lead to another nasty tumble. ]

Kylo Ren/Brianna Solo • r63!Star Wars • ota

[umbraeternam]

[ will handwave some reason why she didn't stop her own fall — or maybe she did and your character grabbed her and shattered her focus. either way, consider her extremely annoyed (to cover up dwelling on traumatic past experiences) by the situation. although at least it's not a bottomless pit leading to the core of a planet this time, so there's one silver lining. ]

secunit | the murderbot diaries | ota

[recognizance]

Ow. [ the tone is quiet and almost conversational, not even out of breath. despite having probably broken your fall, it seems pretty much fine, just pissed off. ]

For fuck's sake.

[jiminykirkit]

[it's done a good job breaking Jim's fall, and he's only winded and a little bruised as he scrambles off]

Fuck. Sorry.

You okay?

roxas / kingdom hearts

[unsummered]

[monster_san]

[Oof.]

Well. That was quite a tumble, wasn't it? [In spite of her mussed hair, askew glasses, and undoubted bruises, Fuu gives her new companion a friendly smile.] Are you feeling all right?

[astraledge]

[It was a trip and a tumble and it was about all Larcei could do to not accidentally impale herself on her own sword when she landed, but land she did--

--and now she can get a good look at who fell with her. Clearly a noble. More specifically, clearly a noble who is actually in possession of his patrimony. She tries to scramble to her feet, but her scrapes and bruises keep her from being nearly as fast as she'd like.]

Who are you.

Nico di Angelo | PJO canon

[refantasma]

[Very possibly made the hole you fell into, and came down to laugh at you.]

The Swede | Our Flag Means Death | OTA

[ourlittlenordicangel]

[ Please halp! Probably fell into the same hole again. ]

roland crane | ni no kuni 2 | ota

[adregem]

[ fell on top of you or you fell on top of him, who's keeping score? ] So much for wonderland.

[hero_to_zero]

[Subaru's falling on top of you. So, thank you for breaking the fall!

That said, he's quite disoriented because it's that strange sensation again, like he's just been transported somewhere else entirely. Of course, there's the added bonus of suddenly falling and for quite some distance. Before he can even process this fact, he comes to a halt, albeit a bit softer than anticipated. But of course; he's landed on someone. He never did get to experience the "falling from the sky" trope before, so maybe he was past due for this...

But wait— What if he landed on a cute girl!? This is the opposite of what's supposed to happen!! They should be landing on him instead! He quickly tries to lift himself up to make sure that's not the case, though it does seem as though he's landed on someone a bit more sturdy.]

Ow... Sorry about that. [And that's when he notices the familiar face beneath him.] Hey! What are you doing here?

((PS hello it's been a long time; I hope you are doing well!!))

Alhaitham ✘ Genshin Impact

[discontentment]

(Voice testing; though he's not going to be thrilled.)

I'm sorry ._.;

[lotusdancer]

[ Alhaitham is never going to go on a walk with her again is he. :( It'll just be 'That Nilou should pay more attention to her surroundings, we wouldn't be at the bottom of this hole if she hadn't fallen in.

And while that was true.. it's not like she knew the wood was rotten when she ran across it! Who puts rotten wood over a path anyway? Intelligent hilichurls, thieves, trappers, pranksters... long story short she's a little guilty over getting him stuck with her. It was okay if she sprained something by herself, but now that someone else is involved... ]

... Are you sure you aren't hurt, Alhaitham?

Yuri Lowell | Tales of Vesperia | OTA

[vibing]

[ He isn't happy. The bottom of his well, pit, sewer, is wet, and Yuri's soaked and bruised ]

So much for looking out for traps.

Totally sorry!

[storytellingprincess]

Sorry! I should have watched better...!

[And there's Estelle, equally soaked. That big white coat of hers and her gloves had came off as she tried to grab something on her way down and now floated in the water.]

ariane yeong | signalis | ota, but full of spoilers

[toteninsel]

[ At the bottom of the hole is a light, a girl, a book, a king.

> Crawl into the hole? ]

[bioresonance]

[ In the middle of a vast, snowy plain is a hole in the ground, too small to be a chasm and too large to be a pit and too tidy to be natural. Falke stands on the edge of it, the wind whipping at her hair and her gaze focused downward. A staircase cuts a dark spiral against the red walls, down and down to a featureless, equally red floor. Snow drifts down the shaft and splatters bright white pinpricks against the stairs and floor alike. Falke pays them as much heed as she does the wind and the cold.

Something is down there.

Something has always been down there.

So Falke goes down, too. She takes each step like anyone would, though there's no telltale tap of metal against metal. The whole time she keeps her gaze fixed on the bottom, and on her goal. Her pace is steady but her thoughts accelerate, stretching into a blur of anxious urgency. After an eternity she dismounts the final step.

Then she stops. Her gaze hasn't wavered even once this whole time, but now she allows herself a brief moment to close her eyes. When she opens them again her focus has only grown more intense for its brief absence. ]

I finally found you.

[ (She knows that's not right, but there's nothing else she can say.) ]
