[Crackplot] When the world ends...

[big_bad_melkor]

It has taken time for this to happen, for the Dark Lord to gather it all, his influence of that which is not Arda but close enough to it, that which he hates about all else for the light of it remains a beacon

Anyone who's made the mistake of taking shelter in the library or gone in there looking for survivors buried among the books, will find a pair of legs in a pair of black trousers and a black frock coat dangling from the ceiling. The rest of the young man is hanging onto the floor tiles above, yelling in terror.

"Haalp! Haalp! Get me out from this floor!!"

And that's exactly where Hisoka goes, soon after he gets back into the house. He knows the library is the haunt of many a midnight reader, so it's a logical place to start.

He hears the yell before he's even through the door, but he still has to climb over broken masonry and several fallen stacks before he can even get close enough to see who is in trouble. "Titus?"

[Do I have this right? -- Titus was on the floor above, and he almost fell through when that level collapsed into the library? And as discussed, I've invited Crocker, who may post in any time. XD]

"Master Kurosaki?" the muffled voice overhead calls out, and the legs hanging from the ceiling might flail a bit, as if he's trying to dislodge himself. That's definitely Titus's voice and black trousers. "It is I, it is Titus, and I am wedged into the floor!"

Oh yes! and Crocker can pop in any time!

"Good heavens, Titus, how did that happen?" exclaims Hisoka, halting under the dangling legs.

Hisoka! Move your ass! Find a ladder!

[lol, I love the way he said that..."It is I, Titus, wedged into the floor!"]

"I was fleeing down a hallway, seeking for an exit, when the floor collapsed beneath my boots," Titus calls out, desperate. He might slip a few more inches, emitting a frightened yelp. "Haalp! Before I plunge further!"

It's so very Titus, ne??

[in_summer_leaf]

Hisoka's eyes dart speedily around the room, searching for something high enough to stand on, or failing that, something soft enough for Titus to land on. There is nothing.

"Titus, don't plunge any further!" he admonishes his friend, as though this were entirely a matter of choice. "...At least, not till I get back! I'm going to look for a ladder. Or a mattress. Or, I don't know, a trampoline. Don't fall."

And he turns and jumps over the broken rubble and tears out the door.

Wherefore art thou, O Denzel? Heh heh.

[Indeed! XD]
