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

... 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?

[kidfromthevault.livejournal.com]

No, no. Fission. Like. Uh. The energy. Fission energy. When you split atoms in--

[The thing Vaultie was fiddling with happened to be the alarm. Cue loud alarm bell ringing noises as he sets it off-- at least, the... fire men will find them? Vaultie falls back on his ass with a squawk.]

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

Never heard of it. Oooooooobviously this is some kind of dumb thing you just made up to make yourself sound smaAAAAAAAARGH!

[ Recoiling so hard. And covering her ears auricular sponge clots liek whoa. ]

What did you do?! FIX IT!

[kidfromthevault.livejournal.com]

I don't-- Idon'tknowI'msorry--

[THE SADDEST VAULTIE starts shoving his bobby pin in wildly. And it breaks off. He makes a noise of general panic that's somewhere between "eeeee" and "ohnooooo"]

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

[ Oh just look at the time. It's SCREAM LIKE A WIGGLER O' CLOCK! ]

Fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it fix it! Faster! FIX IT!

[ Annnnnnnnd she's decaptchaloguing a few eight balls to throw around in FUTILE RAGE. ]

[kidfromthevault.livejournal.com]

I am! I am! I-

[EIGHTBALLS OH MY GOOOOOD he just shoves the entire screwdriver into the keyhole. He then picks up an eightball to jam his screwdriver further into the elevator panel and--

It stops.

Vaultie flops backwards against the ground with a wheeze.]

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

--X IT FIX IT FIX IT FIoh.

[ POOF. Neutralface. ]

...Are you done?

[ Nudge nudge kick kick get up asshole nudge poke prod ]

[kidfromthevault.livejournal.com]

N-no.

[He sits up, and starts to poke at the buttons. He takes in a deep breath, leaning in closer.

poke poke poke poke poke--




And then Vaultie shouts again and falls over as the elevator suddenly jumps to life.]

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahahahaha, y-- we fixed it! Because you couldn't have done it without me keeping a cool head and offering well-placed encouragement and advice. Obviously. Great teamwork, Strange Vault Human!

[ She's even going to help you up! How nice of her~! ]
