trapped in a box!

[THE "IN A BOX" MEME]

You appear to have woken up in a box. It's cramped and you can't see shit.

Well, maybe you can just-- move this way--

oh my god there is another person in this box and you have no idea who they are.

What do you do?


Legit. You're in a small, dark, nigh-indestructible box with a random person. No scenarios. Just shenanigans. Post your character waking up (or sleeping stubbornly), or tag others! Are you waking up too? Maybe you've been awake, waiting? Maybe you're trying to wake up the lazy asshole you're stuck in the box with? Doesn't matter. Antics. Go.

[Yo Kanaya. Have a Vriska shoving you harshly as she tries to manhandle her way out of the box. She doesn't even care that someone else is in it, she just wants out.

[gloomyapoplectic]

[She's not even awake until she's shoved, and Kanaya doesn't take well to being woken, since it usually means enemies are present. So she kicks her foot out and immediately moves to get up and run, except-- she can't.

So she panics and thrashes a little more, equally uncaring as to who's in the box as long as she gets out of it. Not that she can do that either.]

[fabricates]

[Yeah well, Vriska cares when one of those stray limbs smacks her in the face.]

Hey! Watch it!

[gloomyapoplectic]

[Oh she'd recognize that voice anywhere. She stops moving almost immediately, and there's even a bit of hope in her voice when she says:]

Vriska?

[Maybe it's...maybe it's her Vriska.]

[fabricates]

[N o p e. Sorry Kanaya.]

Is this your doing, Fussyfangs? Geez, if you wanted to spend time together, all you had to do was ask!

I probably would have said yes.

[gloomyapoplectic]

[Oh. Thankfully Vriska won't be able to see how disappointed she is in the darkness.]

Of course it's not my doing. I guess I should assume that it is also not any doing of yours, or you wouldn't be asking.

[She ignores that comment at the end, and goes to move her leg, but it's tangled with some other limb that she can't place.]

[fabricates]

[Oh, that'd be Vriska's arm. Awkward. She withdraws it, trying to make space in the box, but there's really not any room to actually have side of the box that's 'hers'. Her limbs are still kind of bumping into Kanaya's all over the place.]

Great assumption! How about you make another one on how we're going to get out of here?

[gloomyapoplectic]

[As soon as Vriska moves her arm, Kanaya loses her balance and falls backwards into what is either a wall or Vriska.]

I do not suppose you could do what Karkat does and utilize all of the luck in your arsenal to make a strategic blow crack this mysteryblock open?

[fabricates]

[That was Vriska, oops. Good thing it's dark in here so no one can see the hint of blue creeping up on her face. She isn't sure if this is her Kanaya or the other one but... Man, she still doesn't do this physical contact thing well.]

If my power had any use here, I would have already used it. Besides I'd have to be stealing someone's luck on top of my own and the only one around is you.

[gloomyapoplectic]

[So it was. Kanaya immediately puts both of her hands on either wall and tries to pull herself away from Vriska.]

You most definitely do not want my luck. We would probably be stuck in here for the remaining sweeps of our respective lifespans.

[The slightly self-deprecating tone may give her a bit of a clue on which Kanaya this is.]

And I am regrettably without my chainsaw. We seem to be at the least knee-deep in this dilemma of ours.

[fabricates]

Eeeeeeeexactly!

[Yeah, that's a pretty good tip off to which one it is. She stays glued to her corner to let Kanaya get away. No need to make this more awkward with Feelings.]

I felt around and there aren't any openings.

[gloomyapoplectic]

[Oh, that's a good idea. As soon as she's separated (or as separated as she can get, anyways) from Vriska, she kneels and starts running her hands along the bottom of the box, feeling around for any attachment points.]

Did you perhaps find a seam that would function as a weak point, instead?
