itp: jean and ivy are so good at arguing

[somewhere, deep in the forest, there's a sudden shriek, a series of thumps, and then a final thud that sounds sickeningly like a body hitting the ground hard.

and then horrible zapping sounds.

anyone wandering past would notice a hole's suddenly opened up in the ground - quite a deep hole -and there's a woman crumpled in a heap at the bottom of it. more noticeably, vines keep trying to dive in after her (and since when do vines move that frantically, anyway, not to mention of their own accord?), but hitting a force field covering the top of the hole.

and then they burn to a crisp in mere moments.

every time one burns, the woman in the hole winces. that might be one of the reasons she doesn't seem inclined to stand up. in fact it looks like she hasn't moved from where she fell.

any psychics in the area might be receiving a broadcast of pain, anger, and steadily increasing fear.]

[totally wasn't keeping her mind out for her, not at all. So when the broadcasted thought shifts to fear, she hesitates before marching to where Ivy brought her before.]

[right now little supervillain couldn't give the slightest damn who is or isn't nearby. she's muttering under her breath.]

No, darlings...no...just stay there. Stay there. It's all right. It's okay. You're only hurting yourselves.

[Arrival! ... that is one deep hole. Looking down from the edge.]

Ivy?

[COULD THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE, SERIOUSLY. glancing up]

Careful. It burns.

[You're the one broadcasting!]

Hang on.

[going to try to push against the force field to see if she can break through it]

[someone's putting her head on her arms]

Just leave me alone, Jean.

You really want to stay down there until someone else comes along?

[hesitating]

Yes.

You'll have to tell your plants to remove me.

[keeps trying :/]

[head back on her arms. this might be a bit muffled.]

They won't.

[Come on. Why isn't this working? >|]

[you know what she is just not even looking because this is undignified and distressing.

and everything hurts.

and, by the way, the irritation at it being Jean is fading, replaced by even greater fear. because if someone this powerful can't get her out...]

[trying harder, eyes flaring red. The force field seems to be responding this time... by reaching out to grab her by the leg and sucking her inside.

And this is the most undignified yelp as she's pulled through and falls.]

[glancing up sharply at that because omgwtf - oh, great, falling psychic. awesome.

it's probably a measure of...something...that she pushes herself forward, arms extended as if to try to break Jean's fall]
