It's a trap

[sarabi]

the TRAPPED meme


Your day has just taken a definite turn for the worse. There you were, minding your own business, exploring a cave system or wandering through a structurally unsound building or whatever it is you do for fun (hey, no judgement here), when by sabotage or natural disaster or plain old fashioned bad luck, suddenly it's collapsing all around you.

Tough break.


1. H/C options

1. Claustrophobia. Some people don't do too well with tight spaces, particularly when the way out just disappeared in a cloud of dust and rubble. Hopefully whoever's down there with you can help keep you calm.
2. Injury. Broken bones and blunt force trauma, oh my! Turns out collapsing chunks of ceiling are bad for the health. Who saw that coming.
3. BONUS ROUND: HEAD INJURY. Who am I, where am I, where the hell did this headache come from? Whether they've got a concussion or full-on plot-convenient amnesia, there's one thing to remember - keep them talking, and don't let them fall asleep.
4. BONUS ROUND: HYPOTHERMIA. Because it's not a H/C options section without the classic huddling-for-warmth trope.
5. Mission Failed. Well you may be in one piece, but whatever you were trying to achieve before you got trapped? Doomed. As long as you're going nowhere, might as well dwell on the consequences of your failure.

2. ACTION options

1. We need to go deeper. The way you came in is gone? Well that only leaves you one option. Better keep exploring, and hope there's a back way out everyone just forgot to mention...
2. BONUS ROUND: Shit, too deep. What do you mean you forgot to mark the way you came as you passed? You're lost? Well shit.
3. We're not alone in here... You hear that? Footsteps just a little too out-of-sync with your own, and-- was that a whisper of a breeze or something breathing...?
4. Dig for freedom! Wait for rescue? Pah! We don't need no stinkin' rescue. You can dig your own way out thank-you-very-much.
5. The next round. Whatever just brought everything crashing down round you? Whether it was explosion or earthquake, there's another one coming - you may have survived last time, but better get the hell out before round two or you might not be so lucky.
6. The show must go on. You're in one piece, so whatever you were trying to achieve before you got trapped? You're going to damn well achieve it, come hell or high water.

3. OBLIGATORY SMUT option

• 'cause you crazy kids are gonna stick it in there (pun absolutely intended) one way or another

4. WILDCARD option

• Whatever. I'm a meme, not a cop.

Warning: This meme is likely to deal with severe injury, and may be uncomfortable for people with claustrophobia. Please be a good RPer and respect your thread partners' wishes if they are uncomfortable with something!

[ All the shit he's seen and done in his life — the untold near misses, the close calls, the scars to prove it — and suddenly the ground shakes and...what? This is what finally does him in? Alright, so, maybe it's a little more than just the ground shaking, it's a damn earthquake.

The irony of this being his first actual vacation in — ah, who the fuck knows how long. Of course it would happen like this. There's a reason he just moves from one mission to the next. Bad shit happens when he starts to relax. He's got a small backpack slung over his shoulder, filled with a few snacks and random souvenirs he picked up on the third floor of the mall. Just ten feet separate him from his motorcycle, and then he's cruising down the coastline for a solid day, just going anywhere at all. No plans. Just stopping when he gets tired. All of that goes to shit before he even makes it to his motorcycle, though, because the earth starts to shake and he's unsteady on his feet. The ceiling of the parking garage starts to break off in pieces and he does a quick check around him for anyone he can tug away to safety, to a corner that might be slightly less of a danger zone than where they are now. He hears people in the distance, figures he can't get to them fast enough (which just pisses him off), but tries to reach for a woman closest to him, to tug her behind a thick pylon that he hopes like hell will hold. ]

Come on — fuck, we gotta move!

[ In the chaos, it's unclear who pulls who into the corner, but all he can hope is when the dust settles, they're still breathing. ]

( They wake up. This in and of itself is disconcerting, seeing as she does not remember going to sleep, and it takes a significant chemical cocktail — in both quantity and quality — to put her down in the first place. More now than it did even as a child, which wasn't altogether easy to begin with.

But the sentence continues, and becomes more distressing as it goes.

They wake up in a cage.

The moment she's awake, this fact registers. There is no groggy coming-to, there is no pounding migraine; it's all gone, by now. Out of her system entirely, whatever it was they'd used. There is only asleep, and then awake, and then the slitting open of her eyes to take in the sight of bars. Two cells stacked side by side, and the smell of concrete, the smell of metal, the smell of another person — likely in the cell right beside her.

She doesn't move at first; she lies pretending to sleep, listening, waiting for long ticking seconds to see if she hears footsteps, or conversation, or anything. But nothing comes. )

[[Being trapped could be a result of his sister's situation, or could be unrelated. Probably not going to be smut, open to pretty much all other prompts and I'm happy to write the starter.]]

[ I like your guy's vibe! His sister seems pretty awesome, too. Interested in a thing?

I have an info page here. If not, I could find someone else better suited. ]

Shit.

[Daisy hisses after finding her flashlight and shining the light every which way and finding no clear way out. The room is just large enough that she can turn around and not have to shuffle sideways, but that's about it. As her light lands on the only other person in here, she's quick to notice the panicked look on his face.]

We're going to get out of here.

[She probably shouldn't make promises this early on, but she sounds fairly confident. Even if she doesn't feel that confident.]

[When the world was re-written in season 3, did Delores get herself a human life? Is she just human somehow, in that handwavey TUA fuckery way? Or is this an alternate timeline where she was always human? They’re all possibilities and I’m here for mucking around with all of them as I figure her out and explore things. (I think the suddenly a real girl option/variations thereof is my favourite, though.) Voicetesting.]
