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.

[Oh hey she got him to laugh! That's something!]

First rule. Only positives in this box. We have to be stuck here but we don't have to be unhappy here. Let's at least not give them that much.

[chronomancer]

[Eridan nods.]

Alright.

[Pause.]

...this might take a wwhile, sorry.

[verymuchalive]

[She smiles]

It's fine. Second rule, if you'd rather we just stay quiet and use this time to nap or relax or whatever, that's fine too.

[chronomancer]

[sklghldkf s-so nice.]

But I. Uh. I don't wwant to be bad company.

[And then,]

But if you wwant to sleep that's okay! ...too.

[verymuchalive]

You're not bad company. I promise. And I really don't mind. I just don't want to impose.

[chronomancer]

...you're not. Imposin', I mean.

[Have a small smile.]

[verymuchalive]

Oh! I'm glad!

So...oh! I know. Let's talk about movies. Then we can have a movie night when we get out!

[chronomancer]

[Eridan visibly perks up.]

You like movvies?

[Help, I'm flush-crushing at a thousand miles per hour.]

[verymuchalive]

[Everyone wants a piece of Aradia]

I love them! Especially Troll Indiana Jones. I've seen those movies so many times I can't even count any more.

[chronomancer]

[It's true.]

Really? The first one's my favvorite. Just. The story and the effects, it's so neat.

[verymuchalive]

[Oh this is so exciting and she's trying so hard to contain it because now is not the time for flailing limbs]

You like him too? You know, it's because of those movies that I used to use whipkind.

[chronomancer]

Oh wwoww, that's awwesome.

[He sighs.]

Wwhipkind looks amazin.

[verymuchalive]

[She shrugs, at least as much as she can in this limited space]

It worked out pretty well for a while. Mostly I use my telekinetic powers or my time powers now.

[chronomancer]

Ah. I see.

[He scratches the side of his face, sheepish.]

I mostly use riflekind and... well, shovvelkind. Rifflekind can get pretty fancy at times, but I use the other more.

[verymuchalive]

Oh? That's what my world's Eridan uses...at least, I think. Something like that, anyway. But having a couple of spare specibus is never a bad thing.

[chronomancer]

Yeah, they really come in handy sometimes. I guess I'm lucky, havvin a close and a long range one.

[verymuchalive]

That's definitely a good thing. And I bet it must be sort-of satisfying getting solid hits on things.

[She would find that intriguing. What can she say, her weapons are more designed for keeping foes at a distance]

[chronomancer]

...a bit.

[He looks almost sheepish.]

It's more tirin than a gun, but. Yeah. There's the satisfaction a a solid hit evvery now and then.

[verymuchalive]

Well that makes sense, you're using more energy. But something useful at close quarters at least.

[chronomancer]

Yeah. Though I suppose havving telekinesis makes close range pretty redundant. I like shootin things long range better anywway. Less chance a screwwin up.

[verymuchalive]

I'm not sure I'd go that far but yes. And at least now with the time powers I have an extra defence if someone does get too close.
