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

[Did someone mention arguing?





Or crazy?]

[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. ]
[ He doesn't even flinch as the elevator stutters to a halt. Soooo cooool. And finally, when it's come to a complete stop- ]

Welp.

[ Great conversationalist, ain't he. ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[Sarah tenses as the elevator stops. She turns to stare briefly at the young...uh.

Alien?

Let's go with that.

And then she looks back at the doors again, reaching out to (what else?) push the button again.]

...Fuck.

[howkickassiam.livejournal.com]

...Uh.








...You know, m'pretty sure I saw like fifty moves that started like this.

[ ...leaves out that they were horror, um. ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[just a look]

Very funny.

[reaches out to push the button]

[howkickassiam.livejournal.com]

[ GRINS ]

I'm just saying.

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

And let me guess how many of them had a happy ending.

[button y u no work :(]

[howkickassiam.livejournal.com]

Uh.

...well, typically those kinda movies don't really--

[ yeaaaaaaaaaaaah.

poking at the button, too. ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought.

[Yeah this isn't working. Sarah slaps her hand against the side of the elevator in frustration.]

Dammit.

[howkickassiam.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey, ease up, okay?

[ squeezing one of her shoulders, gently, and nudging her out of the way. ]

Lemme look at it.

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[Ease up? You're the one talking about movies with terrible endings, York.

Sarah scowls and steps back, crossing her arms.]

[guntogold.livejournal.com]

[ B| ]

[ Sup York's girlfriend who doesn't like AI. ]

ohshi-

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[Sup...soldier that looks like all of those other soldiers.

None of whom Sarah trusts. She sideeyes Tex and then presses the button again.

Surely it will work and they can avoid any awkwardness.]

negl I want this to happen in canon

[guntogold.livejournal.com]

[ SURELY.

...okay Sarah obviously pressed the button incorrectly. When the elevator still doesn't move, Tex steps forward and presses it. Because that is totally the problem. ]

they have to meet horribly somehow

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[Sarah just raises an unimpressed eyebrow. Yeah, way to assume she doesn't know how elevators work.]

Don't think that's gonna do it.

absolutely

[guntogold.livejournal.com]

[ All the B| face behind her visor. ]

I don't have time for this.

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

You think I do?

[She presses a few other buttons, to no effect.]

...Shit!

[She glares pointedly up at the ceiling. IT'S PROBABLY THE AI'S FAULT >:(]

[guntogold.livejournal.com]

[ eyeing the door............ ]

I could probably punch through it.

[ AND JUST AS CONVERSATIONALLY: ]

So I hear you're York's girl now.

what am I doing

[equalsdeath.livejournal.com]

[ well this isn't awkward or anything ]

mwahaha

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[NOT IN THE LEAST.

Sarah frowns, and pushes the button again, not looking at him.]

[equalsdeath.livejournal.com]

[ s-sob if he just stands there and says nothing, maybe she won't speak first. ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[it works for about ten seconds.]


...Come on, what the fuck's the matter with this thing.

[JABBING BUTTONS >:(]

[equalsdeath.livejournal.com]

Might be overloaded.

[ JUST AN ARBITRARY GUESS but he is a fuck heavy Terminator... ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

...Great.

[and whose fault is that, mr. metal endoskeleton.

Sarah drops to her knees and starts trying to pry the cover off the access panel.]

There's gotta be some way to override it.

[equalsdeath.livejournal.com]

...let me.
