☆57.5☆ [Fourth Wall]

[tearsofademon]

[Somewhere, somehow, there is a pile of slimes. It's a pretty impressive pile, several feet high. Blue blobby things all grinning cheerfully.

Of course, this would be just an amusing, if odd, sight, if it wasn't for the fact that at the bottom of that slime pile, there's a single human arm sticking out... and twitching.

If you listen closely, you might even be able to hear a strained voice from beneath them all...]

...somebody... a little help...

*.....you know, he's really not sure whether to laugh or facepalm at this point*

[tearsofademon]

[Probably a bit of both is warranted, honestly...

Ryner is legit having trouble with this, though. Slimes are kind of squishy and fill in all available space, after all.]

[dreamsofahero]

*yes but is it "Ryner is in REAL danger" trouble or just "Ryner is inconvenienced/in relatively minor danger" trouble?*

[tearsofademon]

[Well he's obviously still conscious... and capable of breathing, even if they're a little heavy...]

[dreamsofahero]

*oh, so nothing to worry about, then!*

My, you do seem to have a knack for attracting these sort of situations, Ryner.

[tearsofademon]

[You're such a good friend, Sion. :\]

Just my luck, isn't it.

[dreamsofahero]

*got that right :3*

Perhaps you'll end up with one following you again...

[tearsofademon]

[/sigh]

What'm I even buried in this time?

[dreamsofahero]

They look like some sort of little blobs... Like miniature grimers, perhaps?

[tearsofademon]

Great, I'm buried in poison. I'll probably be dead in a few minutes...

[dreamsofahero]

I'm sure you would have noticed sooner, if that were the case.

Perhaps a relation of... what was it called... gulpin?

[tearsofademon]

Those are poison types too, y'know.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, but you need worry only about their noxious gas, as opposed to their whole bodies.

[tearsofademon]

That's so reassuring.

[dreamsofahero]

Even so, they don't quite look like either of them, so perhaps you've nothing to worry about, in any case.

[tearsofademon]

So in other words, neither of us have any clue.

Great.

[dreamsofahero]

Well, I think we can rule out the possibility of them being something dangerous, at least.

[tearsofademon]

Aside from how I'm slowly being crushed to death, you mean.

[dreamsofahero]

I'm sure you'll be able to think of something.

[tearsofademon]

You could help me out here, y'know.

[dreamsofahero]

Oh, but I couldn't possibly deprive you of the opportunity to show your skill at problem-solving.

[tearsofademon]

A little hard to do that when I can't move.

[dreamsofahero]

And yet, it doesn't seem to have impaired your ability to talk...

[tearsofademon]

Okay, see, talking and moving my arms and legs are two totally different things.

[dreamsofahero]

.... And?
