This is all Amanda's fault :I

There is entirely too much trauma on this space station lately. Which means it's time for the

Broken Elevator Meme!

...Yeah.

• Your character is riding on an elevator when - oh no - it breaks down and stops! How unexpected.
• Oh look, someone else is in there with them. How about that.
• That elevator isn't going to move until your thread amasses at least ten comments. MAYBE MORE.
• Commence arguing/going stir-crazy/making out to relieve the tension/all of the above.
• Agree to never speak of this again (and just use the stairs in future).

To achieve the correct atmosphere for this meme, I highly recommend these tracks. HAVE FUN~ :B

[timeturntable.livejournal.com]

[ Did someone mention mutants? Because I'm pretty sure the barely-counted-as-a-teen in a black suit and glowy glasses would fit that description pretty damn closely. What with the horn, and gills, and fangs and all. ]

Welp.

Oh hell I'm goin' ta die.

Keep pushing it, bro. The button might not have gotten the idea yet.

DUG.

[dug-the-dog.livejournal.com]

[Just scratches at the door.


When that fails to provide results, he barks.


And when that doesn't work, he scratches again. Surely it will work this time.]

Re: DUG.

[timeturntable.livejournal.com]

[ Dave stares down at the dog for a few moments, clearly torn as to his next course of action. Then he looks around the top of the elevator. ]
[ When he's convinced there aren't any obvious security cameras, he leans in and quietly says: ]

Hey, uh. Look, dog, pretty sure it's not going to open even if you keep barking.

[OhLordOhLordOhLord--why in the Gosh Darned' world didn't she just wait for the next elevator?

Oh right, cause a' course it would have looked like she'd seen him, and didn't want to get in just cause he were alien. Even if that were true, she weren't no...space...critter...racist. Oh Lord, was he the kind of alien that ate people? He was green...but those black, scary eyesa;lskd'f WAS HE A SNAKE? HE WAS GONNA BITE HER, SHE JUST KNEW IT.

Kaylee just sort of shuffles a little, to the music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYoEJvyKKM0), to try and vent some of her nerves. It doesn't work and it's awkward for everyone.

Then there was some more tense silence.]
