Efficient Displacement/Playing With
Basic Trope: Someone bursts through a wall, leaving behind a perfect silhouette of themselves.
- Straight: Alice Aardvark runs through a wall and leaves a hole shaped like a perfect outline of herself, ears and all.
- Exaggerated: ???
- Downplayed: The hole shows two arms, two legs and a head, but no fine detail.
- Justified: Alice can teleport to any destination she can see, displacing any matter occupying the space she materialises into. If she wants to go through a wall, she teleports into the wall and then out of the resulting hole, thus leaving a perfect three-dimensional imprint of her body behind.
- Inverted: Alice slams into the wall, hard, and it stops her dead. Cracks spread across its surface, and the entire wall falls down... except for the perfectly Alice-shaped part she remains pressed up against. Which, a few seconds later, falls backwards on top of her.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: A forensics team manages to pull a usable fingerprint from the hole in the wall.
- Deconstructed: ???
- Reconstructed: ???
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Alice leaves an irregularly shaped hole in the wall.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "How come her ears left an impression?"
- Invoked: Alice has a hole cut into her wall the exact shape of her body and papered over, just in case she ever needs to make a quick exit (and leave a Sight Gag behind her).
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Played For Laughs: ???
- Played For Drama: ???
