PROMPT POST PART III
Please see the most recent MOD NOTE
(updated 6 June)

Welcome everybody. How you got here I have no idea but thank you for coming and welcome again, nonetheless . As you may have gathered this is a Fic Prompting Meme dedicated solely to the hilarious and oh-so-addictive BBC Radio 4 sitcom - Cabin Pressure. I'm aiming for this to be pretty anything goes - but in order for everything to run smoothly, there are a few guidelines. Don't worry - they're not too restrictive.
FILLING GUIDELINES
As you probably all know - our meme now has it's very own database created and maintained by the great Enigel. It both catalogues each and every prompt that we post and provides links to fills. You can find it here: Google Spreadsheet
We also have a Pinboard archive which has been put in place by the lovely
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
This is a great step forward in making our meme just a little more organised (but not too organised of course. This is Cabin Pressure) which is always a good thing.
So in order to make things easier to archive - Please nest your fills.
This can be done by either posting each part as a reply to that part's immediate predecessor, OR by replying each time to Part I OR - well you get the idea :D
It makes it simpler for Enigel and myself to link fills in a clean and clear manner. Following these guildelines will be very much appreciated guys :D
REPROMPTING
Reprompting is allowed but please include the URL of the original prompt when you do so. It will make it infinitely more easy to Archive which would make both Enigel and I very happy :)
As for everything else
- Be respectful to one another. Disagreements are fine, but not everything disagreeable is trolling. If you suspect someone of trolling, just ignore it. If you cannot respond to a comment without attacking or trolling someone else, keep it to yourself.
- No bashing prompts. It might not be your cup of tea - but obviously someone wants it enough to go to the effort of requesting it. So just scroll past it.
- Prompt away as much as you like guys - seriously, go wild - but please try to fill as well.
- Please no RPF. I'm not trying to oppress you RPF writers and enthusiasts, I would just really like to avoid any legal problems.
- When you post a fill (or post a new part of a WIP) please go over to the Filled Prompts Post (if it is complete) or the WIP Post (if there are still more parts to come) and, following each post's guideline's, post a link to this fill or new part.
NEW - If your fill includes a major element that veers from the original prompt (crossovers, established universes, kinks, et cetera), please take a few moments to check with the OP that such additions are welcome. This has caused problems in the past and it only takes a few moments of your time.
REALLY IMPORTANT ADDENDUM
According to numerous Child Safety laws it is illegal to provide pornographic material to minors. Seeing that the majority of the stuff we have here is rather adult in nature, this Meme is consequently an 18+ zone. Failing to comply to this rule could result in the Meme getting shut down. So if you're here and you're under 18 please back button now.
+ Please do not post anything regarding minors in a sexual situation. It really doesn't matter how tasteful or crass it is, there are laws that classify that sort of thing as child pornography and as such, I'm afraid we're going to have to go with the attitude that safe is better than sorry.
It really is VERY important that these rules are upheld as the consequences are severe.
Other than that - go crazy guys. Any problems please just message me and I'll try my best to work it out.

Boscage Shuffle 2/?

95% of passengers involved in plane crashes walk away.
For once, Martin’s luck didn’t override the odds.
A startled gasp broke the silence of the flight deck as Martin’s world rolled back into focus, his lungs working for breath and a throbbing pain beating from his ankle. Fighting with his suffocating seatbelt, Martin managed to snap it off and collapsed back into his chair, his chest feeling less like a ton of bricks was set on it.
We crashed, we crashed, we crashed, I’m alive, I’m alive, oh god.
Martin curled forward, the cool water about his calves doing nothing to relieve pain from where his foot was near-crushed by the dash. A dashboard that was closer than it should have been. What?
A low groan to his right brought the captain’s attention to his first officer, Douglas.
“D-Douglas?” the older man’s head rolled as though he had heard Martin, but hadn’t quite registered the situation, fighting for consciousness. In the dim light of the cockpit, Martin could make out a nasty laceration just above Douglas’ right temple from where skull had met hull.
At least your seat is where it’s supposed to be, Martin lamented when G-erti suddenly lurched to the side, “Oh god.”
Martin braced himself on the dash as his seat was wrenched to the side, the deck going dark and water splashing into his lap, “Oh god.” Martin closed his eyes while his ankle made sure it wasn’t forgotten.
“Okay, okay,” taking a few, deep, calming breaths, Martin braced himself against the wobbly captain’s chair and hefted himself onto his good leg, thankful for once for his small size as he stood in the limited space. He was about to attempt climbing over the dash to get to Douglas when something banged against the flight deck door and it opened.

“Skip!”
“Arthur! Y-you’re okay?”
The youngest Shappey looked shaken but uninjured and Martin felt he could breathe a little easier.
“What about Carolyn?”
“Mum’s getting the door open; she said to come get you – Douglas alright?”
“A bit banged up, here, Arthur, help me out,” the steward didn’t hesitate to grip Martin’s offered forearm and help him over the dash and out of his trap, “You’re going to have to get Douglas, I can’t support him.”

The water sloshed about their thighs as the three men stumbled out of the flight deck, Douglas floating between consciousness and dead weight, his arm slung over Arthur’s shoulders as the steward pulled him towards the emergency exit where Carolyn’s silhouette was waiting anxiously.
“Thank god, you’re alright,” Carolyn ducked back inside just as Arthur met her, and slipped herself under Douglas’ left arm to help her son support the larger man, “We have to hurry, we’re on a slope.”
As if to emphasize this point, G-erti groaned again and the four fought for footing, Carolyn just getting her foot out and into the riverbed where she was given some grip. Practically pulling her pilot and steward through the water, Carolyn forced their way out of the plane and towards the sandy bank. Behind them, Martin fell out of the jet, hobbling as best he could on his ankle.
Half-way to shore Martin stopped, his addled mind momentarily returning to normal, Emergency supplies, where’s the pack?
xxx
As gently as they could the Shappeys lowered Douglas, leaning him against a tree. With a groan, the pilot rolled his head into a hand and sat hunched over, his face scrunched in pain and nausea. Arthur kept a hold of Douglas’ shoulder comfortingly, as Carolyn stood and sighed, just thankful they all had seemed to make it out alive.
“Mum,” Arthur asked, his eyes worriedly scanning the river, “Where’s Skip?”
Carolyn turned, fully expecting to see the young man collapsed on the sand, only to find the slow moving waters and a half-sunk jet, “Martin!”

Re: Boscage Shuffle 2/?
I can imagine everything so perfectly. Oh, I have to know what's become of Martin!
Re: Boscage Shuffle 2/?
If Douglas is the brains
Arthur is the heart
Martin is the courage
Carolyn is Dorothy
Snoopadoop is Toto
Gordon is the Wicked Witch of the West
Mind. Blown.
