Open!
Who: Alex and you!
When: Last week of August (edit: oops I got the timing wrong)
What: Catchall
Where: Oshun's Temple
Something brought you into this forest, fate, destiny, curiosity, the lack of a sense of direction... whatever it was, here you are. It’s dense with trees, the sounds of birds, insects and other unknown animals all around you. If you go in further towards the heart of the forest, you’ll find a river cutting through it,and over it, a concrete bridge leading to what looks like an abandoned building covered in overgrown plants and worn out by the elements.
Welcome to Oshun’s temple!
[ Here are some more references for the temple. Just imagine..more plants.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
A.
80% of Alex hoped someone would hear her calling for help, 20% didn’t, considering how embarrassing and stupid the situation she was in right now was. In an attempt to clean up the building a bit more, Alex has been working on lessening the amount of greenery inside. But vines, branches, and the like were everywhere. She could snip the leaves and branches without much problem, but the vines were tricky. They were wrapped all around the railing along the second floor and snaked up the walls. Alex didn’t really mind, but she wanted to at least lessen the amount so it looked a little neater. That was where she made her mistake.
See, the vines in this forest weren’t regular vines. They guarded the place, and were cohabitants with the god residing there. Alex, however, was unaware of this and while she tried to pull at a stubborn piece of vine, it decided to defend itself, yanking her over the railing as it tried to slip out of her hands.
So, there she was, hanging by the railing, unable to pull herself back up over it. Not an optimal situation when you're in a dress...or at all, really. The only options she had were to keep trying, try to call for help, or drop and maybe just break a few bones. It was starting to look like plan C was how it was going to go.
B.
While the serenity of the forest was nice, it got too quiet even for her. Her ‘temple’ came with everything she needed, except for a radio. Alex made a mental note to buy one the next time she went to the Near Shore. She didn't mind having some quiet time, but when it went on for too long, she'd start to hear things she'd much rather not. Music helped.
For now, she'd have to fill that silence herself. There should be nothing to worry about since the place was secluded enough, plus the building had some pretty damn good acoustics.
The soft tune carries throughout the building, and even a bit to the outside of it as she continues to sing without a care while sweeping up the floor. It’s not like anyone was around anyway.
C. Wildcard! Maybe the vines decide to mess with you if you get to close to the building, whatever floats your boat! If you’d like to do anything else hmu at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

Um..might be easier to pull me up?
[She didn't want to risk hurting him if he had to catch her from that height. Alex knew she wasn't very light.]
I think I can do it..!
[It'd have to be now though because her arms were starting to go numb.]

[ he hops onto his skateboard again, because that's gonna get him where he needs to be the fastest. Even if he's not familiar with her temple, he thinks he can probably figure it out.
A moment later, his head peeks out over the railing above her and he extends a hand down into her reach. ]
Here. Grab hold!

Thank you.. Sorry about all this.
[She smiles as she tries to climb over the rail. Another difficult task with her attire.]
no subject
Hold on, I got you, here, just.... whoa!
[ He gets her over the railing indeed with one huge tug and then suddenly goes falling backwards on his ass when she gets freed and suddenly there's no more resistance to tug against. ]
no subject
[And down she goes as well. Thankfully, she's able to stop herself from squashing him completely by holding her hands out to the floor, wincing a little at the impact. She pushes the pain aside quickly though to check on him.]
Are--are you okay?!
no subject
Ahh! I'm fine! It's fine! Everything is a-okay!
no subject
I'm so sorry..I've been inconveniencing you a lot..
[She pushes herself off of him, and helps pull him up to his feet by his wrists. Looking him over, it doesn't look like he got hurt. Just some dirt here and there, which she dusts off of him.]
I'm really sorry about this..Thank you for helping me out.
no subject
Don't worry about it. Really. I'm just glad I was around to hear you. What the heck were you doing, anyway?
no subject
[She wasn't sure there was another way to put it.]
