The Trapped in a Box Meme



You're stuck a box. It's not a particularly spacious one, nor are you too certain as to how you got there. All you know that the box is small, a little dark and cramped, and at least someone else is stuck in there with you.

Oh. And did I mention that the box is virtually indestructible? No? Well, now I did.

1. Post with your muse
2. Other characters reply ICly as the other occupant of the box.
3. Reply to others for some personal space invading fun! (with occasional box-rolling)
4. ????
5. Profit!

[Keroro shifts around to look in the general direction of Bakura's face.]

Eh? Bakura-dono? You're here too, de arimasu?

[shiromadoushi]

U-- un.... Somehow.

[[Pulling his knees in closer to his chest. Nothing against you, Keroro. He just... tiny space. Tiny, uncomfortable space.]]

[starfruitfrog]

[This subdued Bakura is kind of worrying...]

A-Are you okay, de arimasu?

[shiromadoushi]

Aaaa--- I'm fine, I'm fine! Don't worry!

[starfruitfrog]

A-Are you sure, de arimasu? Are you having troubles breathing? Afraid of the dark, de arimasu?

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- no, no, nothing like that! [[a small laugh]] I actually don't mind the dark at all, if you can believe it!

[[He actually found darkness rather nice and comforting. And mysterious. Never knew what could be hiding in it!]]

[starfruitfrog]

[Keronian nosiness, go!]

Then what is it, de arimasu? Are you hurt anywhere, de arimasu?

[shiromadoushi]

No... really, it's nothing. You don't have to worry about it.

[[Just pending flashbacks, that was all.]]

[starfruitfrog]

We're stuck together, so of course I have to worry about it, de arimasu. We're comrades and we have to both be in top form if we're [read: you] are going to get ourselves out of here, de arimasu.

[shiromadoushi]

...you think we can get out....?

[[Because that only worked when he was in the back of his mind and only that one time in Monster World and he's pretty sure that they are neither in the back of his mind (which was far bigger than this) nor was there anyone getting their hand cut off allowing him to see outside.]]

[starfruitfrog]

[No.]

Of course! I know we can get out, de arimasu!

[He hopes if he says that enough that he'll eventually start to believe it too.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Hey, that's how Bakura always looked at it. Only that hope was almost subconscious because he was really good at tricking himself into thinking he really believed the thing he said.

...sometimes. Kinda.]]

If you say that we can....

[starfruitfrog]

I do, de arimasu! Believe in me, Bakura-dono!

[shiromadoushi]

[[okay, that got a smile]] Un. I will.

So what's the plan?

[[you do have a plan, right?]]

[starfruitfrog]

[Of course he has a plan!]

Uh....

[shiromadoushi]

[[aaaaand deflated]]

You don't have any ideas either....?

[starfruitfrog]

J-Just give me a moment, de arimasu. I'm sure I'll think of something!

[Keroro gives the box's walls an experimental push with his hands as he tries his hardest to think.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura'll just.. try and get his brain to shift into game mode and figure out the puzzle.

Maybe if he feels around the edges of the wall some...]]

[starfruitfrog]

If only we had a Gundam...we could get out of here in no time, de arimasu.

[.........Please limit yourself to making suggestions that are actually useful, Keroro.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[there's a very soft laugh at that]] Un. It'd rip through everything just by being in here, ne?

[starfruitfrog]

Of course! And if one of us had a beam sword, we could cut our way through, de arimasu!

[Bakura's laughing...that's a good sign, right? Better than the silent and subdued Bakura, that's for sure.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Much much better. See, Keroro? Even when you're useless, you're helpful!]]

Un, we could. Maybe we could find parts for one in the darkness, since I don't have much in my pockets that would be useful.

[starfruitfrog]

If we were back in my own world and I had the Kero-Ball, we'd be out of here in no time, de arimasu.

[Barring any accidents like Keroro accidentally turning Bakura into goo because he didn't know how to use the Kero-Ball.]

[shiromadoushi]

Kero-Ball? What's that?

[starfruitfrog]

It's kind of round and covered in buttons. [Despite the fact that Bakura probably can't see it, Keroro indicated a sort of spherical shape with his hands anyways.]

It's a Keronian weapon, de arimasu.
