One day you're pet sitting your crush's basilisk at their house...

...and due to not paying much attention how to handle such a mythical serpent, you forget to wear sunglasses before you take the pet out from the cage. Alas, the creature's and your gaze ends up meeting and you find yourself slowly turning you into marble from its petrifying powers.

You only have a few moments before your body locks in place and you become stuck until your crush comes back to free you hours later. You decide to pose.

How is your friend going to find you when they arrive home and eventually find you turned into a stone statue?

Nah, would be more interesting to get stuck in that pose for all eternity... But if not, I'd try to take some pose such as to warn or protect my crush from the same fate (Good idea anyway, since if we both turned into marble there might be nobody to save us) assuming my being turned into marble didn't do it... There would be ample opportunity to pose on more safer terms with such a pet, after all.

The simple most expedient solution would be to just see if I can get the basilisk back into its cage. Failing the option for that, I guess trapping or shielding the basilisk with my own body would be next best option, even though she might still get a nasty surprise after freeing me that way, of course.

Now the question DOES specify I decide to pose, so I suppose I'd have to do that. To be fair, as said, I don't think there's any particular pose I'd prefer for that situation outright with no time to prepare and the situation not being the most romantic possible. Although on that note, the relationship allowing, I might try a proposing stance on my knee, which now that I thought of it might probably be best use of the situation. Some kissing or sexual position might not be appreciated at all, or even raise questions about who I was doing it with if she was away.

Wow such a long and creative response!

That is true that there is no guarantee that a stare like that wouldn't be permanent, to begin with--she didn't mention anything like this before she left. So it's rather kind of you to try to make sure that a fate like that doesn't befall on her, either.

As for you hiding the snake from her, there is always the very real possibility that once she frees you, she also comes into the gaze of the snake and turns into stone in an unfortunate twist of fate. Stuck in her room like that, she'd have nothing to do but wait for you to also try to figure out how to reverse the effect with the correct antidote and hoping that you can figure it out for yourself.

Of course, the last scenario could also end up in a twisted sort of way. As she walks into the room and sees you posed to propose, she could reasonably take your hand before the snake comes out to capture her, too. At least you'll both be stuck forever as a single statue for all eternity, right?

@ExploringThoughts: If I do nothing, the basilisk could be behind the door waiting when she opens it. If I hide it, then she will see me stoned (cough) and be alerted to look for the basilisk, so I think that's best option. The posing is just for the option that, for whatever reason (It wears out with time or she's immune already or I'm just a jackass;) I don't care and just go for a funny pose. Although I like your alternate scenario too, in a twisted sort of romantic way ;)
