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

[FRANTIC BUTTON MASHING GOES HERE]

[kidfromthevault.livejournal.com]

... did you. Did you break it?

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

...NO.

[ Yes. ]

Fix it! I don't do machines. Just. Poke it or something.

[kidfromthevault.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay. I can do this.

[He crouches down in front of the buttons and-- oh hey there's a keyhole! Maybe it unlocks something--

He pulls out the screwdriver and bobby pins he always carries around and starts to fiddle around with it.]

You think this needs a fission battery?

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

[ That's right, Derpy Human. FOLLOW ORDERS. Yeah!!!!!!!! ]

What? A fishing battery? Fishing is for losers and seadwellers and loser seadwellers. And also there's no water here, duh. Seriously. So dumb.

Is it fixed now?

[ PARKER, MEET VRISKA'S FRIEND: MISS PREDATORY SMIRK. ]

You seem uncomfortable. Prooooooooblem?

[ BUTTONMASH BUTTONMASH ]

[theniputitback.livejournal.com]

[SCOWLS]

...No.

[Parker just watches Vriska bash away for awhile.]


...That's not gonna work, you know.

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

You're right! I'm just not punching it hard enough. Gonna need something with a bit more oomph to get this piece of junk moving again.

Maybe I should use my dice on it! [ SUCH AN INNOCENT SMILE~ ]

[circuitry]

[/TRYING. SO HARD. NOT TO RAGE.]

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

[ Through gritted fangs: ] Somehow I KNOW you're the one responsible for this. Any excuse to spend more time with me, riiiiiiiight? Sis~?

[ TEEHEE ]

[ THIS IS SO FUNNY AND NOT INFURIATING AT ALL ]

[circuitry]

What the -- You're blaming me? I wasn't even doing anything! You probably broke it by button-mashing it so much.

[LOOK AT HER LAUGH, VRISKA.

THIS IS SO HILARIOUS.]

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

I was [MASH] not [SMASH] button-mashing, bitch, I know what [SMACKSMASHDOOF] I'm doing here!

[ WHAM. Just gonna pound the keypad with a fist and OOPS WHY ARE THERE SPARKS NOW? ]

... I meant to do that.

[puppetfetishist.livejournal.com]

[clearly there is no one in this elevator with you]

[clearly]



[so why do you feel like you are being watched]

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

[ Haha, duh. Like anybody could have got into the elevator without Vriska noticing. She has eight eyes, okay, she is THE MOST OBSERVANT. This feeling of being watched is completely irrational. ]

[ ... ]

[ Although a ghost could probably get in here without her spotting it. ]

[ A SPOOKY GHOST. ]

[ OKAY, PANIC-HAMMERING THOSE BUTTONS LIKE A BOSS NOW ]

A-AGH!

[ Oh. It's just a puppet. You're not even scared of puppets, what the fuck. Good thing nobody was around to see you squeak like a baby grub, haha! ]

 

[ ...Except the puppet. ]

[ Was. Was it even there a second ago? ]

[ Just gonna. Nudge it with a foot. So carefully. Not that you're freaked out or anything. ]

[mymothersshadow.livejournal.com]

[The bulb next to you regards your mashing with distaste.

Wait, why does an AI even need to ride the elevator.]

Y'know, you'll probably just break it that way.

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

Do I look [POUND] like the kind of person who [THWAP] gives a shit about whether I break something that's already fucking broken?

[ ... ]

Why is a light fixture talking to me and why am I talking back?

[mymothersshadow.livejournal.com]

I'm not a light fixture. [Hologram with the biggest :| appears.]

Of course, if you're already succumbing to hysteria, you can't really trust my word on that.

Re: Vriska Serket

[featheryasshole]

[Face. Palm.]

Vriska. Stop torturing the goddamn buttons, they haven't done anything to you.

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

Yes they did. They stopped working.

Duh.

[POKE POKE PRESS PRESS RAGE RAGE]

Gimmie your sword, I want to threaten it into compliance. That'll. Totally work. [SLUMP.]

[featheryasshole]

Yeah, you're not getting the sword. [BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU GET YOUR HANDS ON THE SWORD.]

We'll just have to sit this out. With all the crazy futuretech in this place, it shouldn't take that long to fix one elevator.

[trollalonde.livejournal.com]

Hitting the buttons repeatedly won't solve our problem.

[squishyarms.livejournal.com]

...God damn it.
