It's a Hole Thing

[effulgent]

You're stuck in a hole! With another person! Is this better or worse than being stuck alone? You decide!

Some different types of holes you can get stuck in?

1. Ditch

Maybe you just tripped. Maybe you were drunk. Maybe you hurt yourself and you're going to have to rely on the other person to get you home so that you don't end up dead in a ditch like your mother always worried you would. Either way, it's a ditch, and you're in it.

2. Too Deep to Climb

Did your enemies put you in here? Was it covered with branches and you didn't see it until it was too late? Did you just wake up with no explanation? A MYSTERY. More mysterious is how smooth the sides are, too smooth and high to climb, and how any powers you should have that could have helped are mysteriously not working. But the hole is just wide enough that with the help of another person maybe, just maybe, you can link arms and climb up back to back. Worth a shot! What's the worst that could happen??

3. Bottomless Pit

There's only so long you can keep screaming before it gets a little old. You're still falling, and it's starting to seem like hitting the bottom is more an if than a when. Might as well pass the time with some bonding. Maybe tell some stories?

4. Black hole

A hole IN SPACE. Maybe you know you're being sucked to your spaghettification doom. Maybe it's a wormhole and if you're lucky, you'll come out again on the other side. Maybe it's a hole in the fabric of reality and you're about to meet an alternate version of your friend who has A BEARD?? I'm sure it's fine.

5. Grave

Did you trip and fall in the most horribly awkward place possible? Are you (and a friend) being BURIED ALIVE?? Or maybe this is just a metaphor for the dark pit of despair in your soul. Either way, maybe get out and have a cookie or something. You deserve something nice.

6. Wildcard

Maybe the real pit was the friends we were stuck in along the way!

3. Bottomless Pit

[Dr. Coomer supposed this sort of thing was inevitable. He'd seen the vast nothing beyond the boundaries of Black Mesa, and to be frank, he'd wanted nothing to do with it, but there's only so much wandering around in circles a man can do before he makes a misstep.]

[Then again, that's merely supposition. He's only seen one ending, after all, and stories like these tend to have multiple. Increases replay value.]

[He catches a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye, and he's speaking before he's even had a chance to think.]

Hello, ---

[ERROR: Invalid input.]

[Coomer blinks. Then, he smiles, extending a hand through the void.]

I'm sorry, but I don't believe we've met.

Do you plan to live in this hole now?

[ He's not in the hole, but that makes sense: Wei Wuxian is not a man tamed by something as simple as a hole. Nor is Mo Xuanyu, it seems. He perches at the top of the pit, face equal parts incredulous and delighted behind his mask, and grins down at this new discovery. ]

It's not a bad hole, as far as things go! I've lived in much worse. Ouyang-gonzi, are you taking guests?

((I have no idea how it could happen, but high-functioning sociopath (if that's still how Sherlock identifies himself? Idk it has been A While since I watched) meets "ok I'm technically a serial killer" in a near-bottomless pit and must work together could be fun, if you're interested?))

[its a really nice night! a nice night to run from danger you stepped in like dog crap, in a cemetery mind you, and promptly fall into an open grave.

after deciding he cannot climb up the sides (this is not 6 feet under they are burying this guy (a Frank Pollock) straight to hell) he spends his time smoking, waiting for the night gravekeeper, or maybe Death.]

[Aria purses her lips as she looks up. She could explain the statistics and studies that made her creator decide to make her slightly on the shorter side so people would feel more at ease around her, with ease. But that really wouldn't change the point that right now, she's far too short to get out of the hole.]

Are you hurt? We may need to climb our way up.

[This is not the first time the bad guys get away. Aria has been programmed to be able to deal with it and accept it- it doesn't make it any less frustrating, but it doesn't get her stuck on a loop if there are no new leads on a case. But it is the first time they have humiliated her so badly. Because getting stuck in a hole with Janelle?

Yeah, that's definitely new.]
