Laying Down

# \*Thud\* - Person who Just Laid Down

Klava Laying Down Happily.

to do this action, you must go "\*Lays Down\*" said exactly like that and not surrounded by any "..." or anything else, usually said in a message with nothing else in it or before it, a single line message (aka they say it after some one else speaks and they don't speak after unless they get up later)

Laying Down is a Common Event where a slime, or human, or ghost, or any other anthro being, lays down on the ground, a player of it can Lay Down at any time, but they must Lay Down for atleast 10 seconds if they Lay Down, but most people will lay down for a long time depending on the game.

## Why Everybody likes it

It is sort of unknown why every character likes to Lay Down, but its possible that they like the feeling of their body being on the floor and simply relaxing... its possible they also that the people just like to have a relax from everyday life, so Laying Down is the only escape...

no matter the Explanation everybody loves to Lay Down on the floor.

## Lay Types

There is a Number of lays the Player Can do.

### Faceplant

The Most Common Lay, and also the picture in the infobox, a to do this lay a player must

1. go down on their knees
2. relax their feet
3. lay down on their belly
4. put their arms either infront of their head or straight to their side
5. Slide their feet and toes together
6. Lay There

And BOOM now you've completed your first Lay, you can stay in this as long as you want, but you need to lay in it for atleast 20 seconds, this is the main lay in loopy leaping.

### X-Lay

The Second Most Common Lay, for a player to do this one they must

1. sit down
2. not too long after sitting down lay on your back
3. throw your feet into the air, then back down on the ground
4. move your feet away from eachother into a X position
5. move your arms into a X Position
6. Lay There

And BOOM thats the completed Lay.

### Side Left/Right

This is a Easy one, so its a common Lay

1. Sit down
2. Lay on your left/right side
3. Move your left or right foot straight downwards, then move your right/left foot infront of your motionless first foot
4. Put your Left or Right hand in a line, then put your second in slight crumple on it or near it.
5. Lay there

Its a lot easier then the other lays, but Faceplanting is most comfortable since you atleast can choose which way to put your head, unlike in this one.

### Knee Back

also known as half life ragdoll you literally just do this

1. Fall to your knees
2. X-Lay Backwards onto your feet
3. Lay there

I won't repeat myself with each one.

### Sit Down

This one is a tough one so make sure you are experienced with laying down before you do it.

1. Sit down in a PERFECT L shape
2. without moving your lower body or feet, move over to your feet
3. Lay your head on your feet, then your hands to your feet's sides
4. Lay there

you can tell how its hard now.

### Flip

This one is a little tough for non atheletes, but pretty much its just the normal faceplant lay

1. Do a flip and land on your feet
2. lift your feet and move them into a laying on the ground pose.
3. Lay Down on your belly
4. Move feet together, move arms to your sides.
5. Lay there

its not that hard for athletes, but why you wouldn't just lay down I don't know

### Belly Down

Belly Downing is a more exaggerated way to lay down

1. Lay down on your belly
2. Move your feet and arms into a position they are comfortable in
3. Lay there

the only difference is that this is used in games where theres elimination, pretty much if you do this, you do it, BUT you can't get back up until the game is over.

### Feet Lay

a Lay taken straight from a game its pretty simple, more info on it's page

### Curl up

this is a easy lay that is also technically a base lay like the above one.

1. Lay down on your right side
2. bring your right foot up, enough so it covers up some of your stomach
3. do the same thing with your left foot
4. either grab at your feet or cross your arms in a X Shape
5. Lay there

is not that hard of a lay to do and also might get you sympathy points XD

### Laying Splits

This is a hard lay for humans, but for slimes its easy.

1. Do the splits
2. keeping your arms to your side, lift them upwards
3. without moving your feet lay your upper body on the ground
4. move your feet apart from eachother slightly more, but keeping them in the splits position
5. Lay there

its a pretty hard lay.

### Feet Side Upper Faceplant

This one's name is literally the move.

1. do the basic faceplant lay
2. without moving your upper body, turn your feet onto their right side
3. put your left foot infront of your right
4. Lay there

Its a pretty easy Lay, but the only real part of your body with action is your feet

### Air Feet

This one is pretty easy

1. Faceplant obviously (any other side would be impossible or tiring unlike in this one where you don't need energy)
2. Instead of moving your feet together, lay them in a normal line
3. without moving your upper leg, lift your feet straight up into the air
4. move your feet backwards where they don't fall onto your back and your feet stay in the air, and you don't have to hold them there.
5. Lay there

### Slime Stack

this one can be done by anybody, but most times by slimes

1. Do the faceplant lay
2. a second person does the faceplant lay on you, their feet must touch your feet
3. a third does the same
4. pretty much you only need 2, but it can go to as much as they can reach or before it starts to unbalance (which is about 10 slimes)
5. with your friend(s), Lay there

### Hug Lay

a pretty simple lay you can do with your best friend

1. hug your best friend
2. lay on your side
3. with your friend, Lay there.

its pretty simple.

### X Stack

More like X, only 2 can do it

1. Lay down Faceplant
2. a friend lays down on their belly across yours
3. with your friend, Lay there.

its again pretty simple

### Ball and Chain

yeah...

1. Lay down and Curl up
2. a friend with lay down on you
3. with your friend, Lay there

pretty simple.

### Legs On Legs

both of you need to be really strong for this one.

1. Do the Laying Splits
2. a Friend will X-Lay on your back
3. With your friend, Lay there.

thats a lay that must hurt

### Feetline

yeah its loopy leapings footline

1. Lay down on your left side
2. Move your Right foot infront of your left foot enough where it could fit a foot between your feet
3. a friend lays on their right side
4. your friend puts their right foot's toes onto your right foot's toes
5. then they put their left foot inbetween your feet, it should fit perfectly if done right
6. they can hug you if they want but otherwise they lay their head down
7. with your feet in a line and with your friend, Lay there.

## Rules

* You have to be on the ground to be considered laying down (Duh.)
* You need to be barefoot (but this only applies to whenever you're inside not outside)
* You can have any Gender, but Female is preferred.
* You must be fine with anything that can happen to you, Germs, Other People, you really need to be fine with it, its also recommended to be in your house, and with people you trust
* You can Lay with as many people as you want
* When you have Laid down you can't move at all unless moved by someone else.
* While laying down, you cant do anything unless you get up, and even then, you need to Lay Down randomly without saying anything before and without a "..." before or after it

## Trivia

* The first time a character laid down is when they had no ideas, then we stopped, but then we suddenly did it more and more and it started not being weird... now its a mainstay of Base to see a character be laying on the ground, though recently we haven't Laid Down much so Brett starts trying to make up a reason to why they Lay Down, but honestly there is none, they just lay down.
* Loopy Leapings is the first game to have Laying Down be forced
* Laying Down is seen as a sign of enjoyment or friendship in base
* There is a Event Called "Annual Lay" in which for 24 hours to up to a week a participant will Lay Down in a act of protest, there is more info on the page.
* for a while Faceplanting was the only lay, and X-Laying was only a game, but then it eventually more lays got introduced and X-laying was turned from a game to a normal laying down type
* Laying Down Characters are just as good as fainted characters, only unlike Fainted characters they could use it for Strategies and plus you're most likely gonna do this at home where you're safe, not outside where things can knock you out.
* Originally Laying down was going to be restricted to the Bloo games, where a eliminated person would look at the wall and Faceplant... why that? so you can see their feet without them noticing. but after the Bloo games it started becoming a common thing, but at the same time it was called "Falling" but at about march 2022 I forced it to only be "Lays Down" as it was impossible to see Loopy Leapings with the characters not Laying Down but instead falling down, so I forced it to be Laying down because it works better then Falling down and I like Laying Down as it makes more sense, plus it sounds better than "\*Falls\*" still doesn't mean that for most of the time my favorite lays were said with "\*Falls\*" basically all Hawnts Lays are my favorite but the "\*Falls\*" ruined the early ones, now its a lot better and even makes the pose he probably Lays Down in better.
