[Kickflip, triple turn, stick the landing -- that was the plan. Unfamiliar surroundings were no excuse to skip ninja practice. At least, that's what he would tell himself. In reality, it was a desperate attempt to grasp at familiarity, at a normal every-day life he longed to return to.
Unfortunate for Shinobu, 'sticking' the landing worked a little too well. Feet hit the sand a little too hard, a little too deep, pressure snatching away his shoe and refusing to let go. He loses his chance at balance. Though agile in build and quick to react, it is nothing in the face of sand now slowly swallowing the boy's lower half. It was up to his knees now, he's stuck, heart racing like a thousand shurikens being thrown against his chest at once.]
Ahh... Ahhhhh....
[Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic how can he NOT panic!? Natural tendency to act before he thinks overrides any initial clear thought and he squirms, to the right, the left, trying to escape. To no avail.
As a matter of fact, any further attempts to escape only sink him deeper until nearly half his body disappears into the sand. As if he didn't curse his small stature enough, now it was betraying him even more!]
Augh... Th-This is bad...
[Tap into those honed ninja skills, Shinobu! Lone wolf warriors always could find a method of escape, or else they would be long dead before they started!]
..............
[Ah! Footsteps! Someone's nearby!? Well, sometimes even wolves travel in packs---]
O-Oh! Is someone out there...!? Hello! I think... Well, t-to say the least, I have found myself in a bit of a compromising position...! U~Ummm...
