Koohii stories:

1) [astgtciv] 12-12-2006(182): [bravo, scottamus!] To apply for the job as a (replacement) Batman, you have to make it to the heart of the cave past all the traps he set up to test you. There, you see a table with the application form on it. Now that you think about it, the ad in the paper did say "Those who don't make it to the heart of the cave need not apply.".

2) [ikmys] 17-10-2006(152): In the videogame Zelda, Link enters a CAVE to visit a fairy that will APPLY magic to fill his HEART containers.

3) [yukkuri_kame] 12-2-2009(95): Heisig's keyword doesn't apply this kanji directly. 応用する （おうようする）means "to apply" as in 彼らは新しい科学技術をその産業に応用した。 "They applied new technology to the industry." The most common translation of 応 (on it's own without 用 ) might be "respond". As in responding to a question or responding to a situation. Story: Men are CAVEmen at HEART. When confronted by emergency situations they RESPOND by APPLYING their primitive power.

4) [Virtua_Leaf] 20-12-2007(35): Said the doctor: Usual rules apply. If you apply too much force the heart will cave in.

5) [scottamus] 9-11-2005(35): Batman applied himself to catwoman deep in the heart of bat cave.
