Hello! I have a hypothetical for you all!

You wake up one day, and you're in the middle of a deep, round hole, surrounded by sand. You cannot see over the edges, and it's hard to climb out, due to the whole "round" and "sand" thing.

What do you do?

Fly out???

[ He did not understand the assignment ]

[chickenchoicejudy]

Easy! Dig my way out with my guitar muscles! 🎸💪

[ofboreas]

Do I have my usual skills? Or are those turned off again?

[lotusflower]

die quickly hopefully

[kanda—]

[itisa]

Fly or teleport out?

[Since apparently that's an option, thanks, Pav.]

[kingincognito]

Well, I suppose you could dig handholds into the sides of the hole to climb out easier...

[mooninthewater]

The sun is so very bright, it's a little hard to see.

You think there's more desert, though? A lot more.

Where do you go?

[lyricistdontmiss]

Cry, probably!

And then like absolutely call someone for help with the phone totally in your pocket

[mooninthewater]

How strange! Your hands are getting dry so fast. Do you keep going?

[mooninthewater]

Of course! I wouldn't take those away. That gets rid of the fun of it~!

[mooninthewater]

Starvation, dehydration, heat stroke, hypothermia, or would you like a flash flood?

[ofboreas]

I like your style already.
I'm pretty good at jumping — could probably clear a quarter of the Grove or so depending on how hard I tried. That high enough to get me out?

[chickenchoicejudy]

Sure! I can just wash them later or something. Besides, the more I dig the better luck I'll have trying to dig a way out!

[mooninthewater]

Gotta pick which one~! Where do you fly or teleport to? To see out over the edge? Or? Where do you teleport to? To the top?

[lovelyredthread]

Well, is there any wind blowing? I'd follow that since it's easier on my wings. Better to go long distances. If not I'd pick a direction and go that way.

[mooninthewater]

It's weird, this sand is lighter than what you expect. It doesn't fall in ways you expect, and fills holes with ease. Wonder what that's about~!

[mooninthewater]

Your phone is waterlogged. :)

[lyricistdontmiss]

wait is the hole already full of water

[quietangel]

I blow all the sand away!

[kingincognito]

Oh dear. Is it quicksand?

[itisa]

[He is taking this so seriously-]

Oh- hmm...
I think, to the top, but not close to the edge? So I don't fall back in...

[lotusflower]

the only one that kills fast is a flash flood

or sufokating in the sand.

[mooninthewater]

That's the spirit! You keep digging until... you feel a tremor in the ground. It stops after a few moments, but you do see something at the top of the hole. Kinda hard to make out what from here! The sun's too bright!

[mooninthewater]

Nope! It's air! You can breathe!

You do notice, though, despite being waterlogged, the phone is on a call already? No number. No name. You don't hear anything right now.

What do you do?

[chickenchoicejudy]

I guess I'll keep trying to dig up and out, until I can climb out? I probably don't want to dig down if I can avoid it though. You know, because of the tremors.
