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

[This is why he prefers the stairs.]

[dismembers.livejournal.com]

[ DROPS DOWN FROM THE ROOF OF THE CAR or something idefk don't question it okay. ]

FIX IT

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

Aw hell no!

[I HOPE YOU LIKE GRENADES TO THE FACE]

[ I HOPE YOU LIKE GRID DARTING AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF YOU AND USING YOU AS A HUGE UGLY METALMEAT SHIELD BC ]

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

[that's what shields are for ALSO FUCKING ALIEN HOW DID YOU GET HERE?? Emile's going to flip his knife and go for an eye, only to realize there are none goddammit.

HOW ABOUT SHOVING A GRENADE DOWN YOUR THROAT?? IT'S WORTH LOSING AN ARM]

[i-would-kindly.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Slightly perturbed. He clicks the button labeled 'door open' and when that doesn't work, he holds up a crackling hand with every intent to electrocute the panel. WORKS BACK HOME.]

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

[Uh oh, Jack doing that with his hands will always end badly for Emile.]

Shit! Stop it! You want to be trapped here permanently?

[i-would-kindly.livejournal.com]

[Jack immediately freezes. That is the opposite of what he wants.]

But... this should open the door.

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What makes you think it wouldn't seal it shut? That's what doors do where I'm from.

[i-would-kindly.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you had Electro Bolt where you're from. [He sloooowly lowers his hand.]

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

[He makes an amused "heh" sound and relaxes his posture a tiny bit.]

Personal experience says it's got the same effects as an overcharged plasma bolt as far as disrupting systems.

[i-would-kindly.livejournal.com]

When doors used to get stuck, a nice bolt of electricity was all it took to get them open again. It won't work here?

[He shifts awkwardly. Idle is not his default setting.]

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

Guess you could try. We can always get out through the roof if it don't work.

[i-would-kindly.livejournal.com]

You're sure? [Doop doop you said not to...]

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

I can survive it if the elevator falls. [Yay armorlock.]

[sniperbitch.livejournal.com]

[ CLIMBING THE WALLS LIKE A CLAUSTROPHOBE ]

What the fuck is taking so long. Why aren't we moving.

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs, standing there calmly.]

Beats the hell out of me. You any good with electronics?

[sniperbitch.livejournal.com]

[ lol helpless look. Nope. ]

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

Me neither. Always Kat's job - I just got to hold off the aliens while she hacked in.

[He pokes at a couple of buttons experimentally.]

[sniperbitch.livejournal.com]

What if it's broken. What if the AI did it deliberately.

[ WHAT IF THEY'RE GOING TO DIE. ]

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

[He cocks his head to one side.]

How good are you at climbing?

[sniperbitch.livejournal.com]

[ DANGER WILL ROBINSON ]

...why.

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

[He nods up at the elevator's ceiling.]

Cables'll lead out if it won't get moving.

[sniperbitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw this in a movie once? It didn't end well.

Also how the hell are you going to fit through the panel in your armor.

[evaskullface.livejournal.com]

[He snickers. As if Emile watches any movies that aren't war movies.]

You jump outta orbit and you're worried about a little elevator shaft? Hell, you know my armor can survive this kind of shit.

[In answer to the second question, he just unsheaths his knife, flips it, and resheathes it in one fluid motion.]
