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.

Luka -OC- OtA

[forrestertailor]

[[Luka, while very capable in emergencies, is absolutely the kind of guy to fall down a hole. Hmu if you want to into hole stuff with this cheesecakey vampire!!]]

[darthprepboy]

[[Pros: He's prepared for anything and probably going to stay calm.
Cons: You're stuck in a hole with a monster hunting fanatic.]]

[forrestertailor]

[[Hey there, would you be interested in playing out your monster hunter and my monster bring trapped in the same hole? Luka is by no means a harmless cryptid but he’s very charming guy when he’s not being a harmful vampire!]]

[darthprepboy]

[[This sounds like a wonderful disaster and I'm all for it. The only this is, he can be stupidly unwilling to listen when he immediately recognizes someone as a monster(tm). Maybe it's just very dark to start off?

Also, is there a setting you'd prefer? Old well? Basement in an old house?]]

[forrestertailor]

[[Modern is fine with me! Im picturing Leo coming to some stretch of woods to find a vampire causing trouble and he falls into the old well about fifteen minutes after Luka takes a misstep and does the same thing. Luka usually could climb his way out so maybe he breaks his ankle in the fall and then has to contend with Junior Varsity Van Helsing falling on top of him]]

[self_impeding]

[[Would you like him to share a hole with an imp that hunts humans? More specifically, the dead hire him to go over people who wronged them in life. Leonard may or may not be the target, depending on which you prefer.]]

[darthprepboy]

[[Would I!
I don't know if Earthside nonhumans exist in Helluvaboss and can end up in hell. That's mostly the type who'd want revenge on Leo. I'm okay with target or being a non-target. Maybe he was trailing Blitz? It would be funny if they both had some kind of protection that made it impossible to actually kill one another so they'd be forced to get bored and talk eventually.]]

[self_impeding]

[[They haven't been established to exist, but that doesn't mean they don't, especially since dead souls get a new form that represents their life and death, so there would be no telling if they were human before. Blitzo wouldn't have any natural protections from getting killed by Leonard, and since Leonard's human I suspect he wouldn't have natural protections from Blitzo, since Blitzo just uses guns and knives. Maybe the pit itself is enchanted in some way?]]

Good. You're awake. Now, we most certainly were not in the Underdark last I remember. [ Furtive glance upward into an open chasm that is so deep not even a pinprick of light can be seen above. ] And if we fell we probably should not be alive. [ Crosses arms. ] So what did you do?

[tiveragh]

[Waking up with a headache is becoming a terrible habit. Tieve waves her hand vaguely at the drow in a shooing motion, like a child begging for five more minutes before getting up for school. Really, she just wants a second to make sure there are no more holes in her brain than there were a few minutes ago.

So far so good.] ...thanks.

[A dry comment, spoken after she squints up at the space above them.] For assuming it's my fault. [Granted it could very easily be her patron's idea of funny joke.

She stands up and pats her pockets, coming up with a coin that has a single feather etched onto the surface.] I had a featherfall spell stored in this thing. Gone now. I'm guessing that's why we didn't die, but that only answers half of your question.

[getoffmystage]

Well Scratch isn't here, so I have lost my go-to.

[ He and the dog have an understanding. If he cocks something up he can blame it on the dog who will cute his way out of trouble and get treats and scritches after. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement. ]

I do enjoy not being dead, so there's that at least.

[ Though on the subject of the Dog, he might be the party's best bet at finding them if they can't find a way back up. ]

...Sorry.

[ He squints. ]

I'm trying to remember where we were and put a face on where that would be down here.

[tiveragh]

No, no, I mean I'm not saying it's not my fault. I don't remember it being my fault, but really, who the hell knows? [Then again, just because Scratch isn't here doesn't mean they can't blame him, instead. No one could stay mad at that fuzzy face for long anyway.]

The earth is cracked all over the Shadowlands. I'm guessing we slipped, or got pushed by one of the shadows. The last thing I remember is leaving the Last Light to look for Rolan. Gods, I hope the others found him.

I...don't have your darkvision. Do you have a torch on you?

((arbitrarily choosing Act 2 as a canonpoint but I can always change if you need me to, just lmk))

james t kirk. star trek aos. ota.

[negativechill]

[ voicetesting! canonmates awesome obviously, but i'm also more than happy to work with cross-canon and characters aued into star trek! ]

[self_impeding]

[[Want him to fall into a hole with an imp?]]

[negativechill]

[ sure! did you wanna go a more jamjar-esque crosscanon isekai game route or should hell be, idk, a non-federation planet or something? i'm down for either or if you had other suggestions. ]

[self_impeding]

[I prefer the non-federation planet route. Do you want to start or should I?]

[logicalities]

[ This is the one regulation Spock doesn't complain about breaking: first officer and captain both planet-side for an away mission. Meeting new civilizations, making sure the prime directive isn't broken, not being stabbed by the multitude of pointy sticks implausibly in the possession of the largest city's security force despite the near-warp capable level of their technology. Someone has to keep an eye on the captain. Unfortunately, the security team, despite their high level of skill, has proven incapable of adequately performing that task.

Which is why Spock finds himself in a large, metal-walled hole with the captain.

Cautiously, he pokes at one of the rivets holding the towering walls together. Sturdy, without a hint of rust. His tricorder beeps and he glances at it, reviewing the data from its newly finished analysis. The metal is an alloy of some unknown substance too thick for their phasers to have any effect, even if they had a hope of the ground beyond being anything but solid dirt.

Spock doesn't sigh, but he does tip his head back to look up at the yellowish sky above them. Then he looks back down and turns to the captain. ]

It is truly remarkable that we find ourselves in this situation once again.

[negativechill]

[ it's a good regulation to break, if any. they do well on missions together, and it's true that somehow spock is the only one that manages to actually keep his ass out of trouble most of the time.

most being key, as they're stuck in a metallic pit together today and it's, as truer words have never been spoken by his half-vulcan commander, not the first time it's happened.

his mouth twists slightly as he watches spock with the tricorder: there's no point in jim doing the same, they'll get the same answer. instead he takes to looking for any visual distinctions between other parts, circling the pit itself as he does. a little like a caged animal, but he doesn't realize he looks like that.

finally, over his shoulder: ]

A near-infinite universe full of near-infinite possibilities and here we are stuck in a hole again, Spock.

[ jim is also focusing on a rivet, but he looks like he's trying to decipher tooling marks on it instead. ]

This place is really clean for how it looks like it was riveted together manually, huh? By which I mean does it look put together older than it is or is it that well-maintained?

[ how long before the people that made a pit like this show up and should they be worried about it? ]

ahem now hopefully in the right place

[notahobgoblin]

[Any being capable of rudimentary observation will reach the same conclusion: this scenario has occurred in the past. Facial expressions are subjective by their very nature and therefore unacceptable as quantitative evidence...

...and yet, the sheer lack of expression on Spock's face somehow proves beyond a doubt that this very set of circumstances has been recreated time and time again.]

Dr. McCoy will be disappointed to learn our latest experiment has resulted in yet another failure.

[negativechill]

Yes, Spock, Bones is going to be annoyed that we ended up stuck in a hole again when we told him we were absolutely not going to get stuck in a hole again.

[ jim is resourceful. he's smart. he's a fucking genius, for christ's sake. spock's even smarter than he is.

they're still in a hole on a nothing planet and they're by themselves but hey, at least they have properly working trackers this time so it's not like the last time when they were stuck for a couple of days because the ship's computers kept telling everyone they were dead and/or just nonexistent. that was fun.

jim taps the side of the pit they've found themselves in with his knuckles. solid rock but not smooth; pockmarked and jagged in places. hm. ]

You think Bones'll call me some kind of skittering, climbing animal if I scale this wall and he finds out?

[He's hapless enough for it. Just, the worst luck, all the time forever.]

[godsbabydaddy]

[ooc: Sorry for the wait! Work ate my spoons. Post canon or an alternative freeing of the other Bing!Dad?]

[airplaneskyward]

[I absolutely understand! Work is a spoon thief. Post canon works? Though Bailu mountain is technically a hole and it would be very funny if sqh just like, managed to trip and fall into one of the most sealed off places in the world by sheer accident. Also your url is hilarious, 10/10]
