情急之下

情 = 忄 + 青 : Just inside the engine's kitchen the Queen of Hearts is feeling terrible. She just spent a fortune to drink from the fountain of youth, although deep inside she knew from the start that she's lying to herself and spending a fortune for nothing. Now she's punishing herself by beating herself with a flail.

急 = 刍 + 心 : Joan of Arc just arrived at the space station and although she has to go to the bathroom very urgently, she first has to clear the way of a big fluffy heart using a lawn mower.

之 = 丶 + Z : Mnemonic symbol: Sooo sleepy... "zZz" (the character looks like a "Z"). James II of England (zh) fell asleep in front of the space station (Ø1). He sleeps on a big petal leaf (丶), making loud "zZz" (之) sounds.

下 = 一 + 卜 : Mnemonic symbol: from the up/down logic, and a little bit the shape of the character, a ladder.

Xi Shi (xi) is on a retreat in the ashram. Using a voodoo staff (卜), she divined that next (下) week she'll have to play the flute (一) sixteen hours per day. Because she hates playing the flute, she climbs over the ashram's bathroom (a4) wall using a ladder (下) to escape.
