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

[ 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.

[circuitry]

[/SCREEEEE]

...Really.

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

Of course I did. I'm fixing i--

[ Oh. Looks like the smoke and the sparks just activated the sprinklers. ]

Mothergrubfucker!

[Terezi just stands there with the most unamused look on her face in the entire history of paradox space, getting wetter by the moment. GOOD JOB, FUCKASS.]

[circuitry]

[After a moment, she takes her cane out of her sylladex and prods the ceiling, hoping to move a panel or something and get out the fuck out of this mess.]

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

That's right, Blindy Mc Blinderson. Up there. That's where the control panel is. Keep aiming for those buttons, champ.

[ BECAUSE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING. ]

[ wait ]

[ fuck ]

This. Thing doesn't loo-- SMELL watertight to you, does it?

[ VRISKA DOESN'T WANT TO DROWN OH GOD ]

[circuitry]

[Oh. Oh god. How can she resist an opening like that?

Terezi slowly stops what she's doing and sniffs around as best she can with all the water falling down on them. After a moment she adopts a slowly growing look of shock on her face.

THE MOST WORRIED TONE IN EXISTENCE. EVER. MAN SHE IS SUCH A GOOD ACTRESS:]

Actually... Yeah, it kind of does.

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[ AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH ]

Good thing I'm the best swimmer there is.

Yeah.

[ GON' USE YOUR BLOATED CORPSE AS SOMETHING TO FLOAT ON, BITCH ]

[ THE PERFECT SURVIVAL PLAN ]

[circuitry]

[OVER HER DEAD FUCKING BOh wait that's exactly what that plan entails, never mind]

So what's Feferi, chopped detoxification and protein synthesis organ?

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

Pretty much.

[ DEADPAN STARE. ]

[ This is absolutely not the creepy gaze of someone figuring out how best to murder you and make it look accidental. Just. Just so you know. ]

[Without taking her eyes off Vriska -- it's mostly a gesture to let her know "I'm on to you" than out of any real need to actually, you know, face her to keep track of what's going on -- she resumes trying to work a panel loose on the ceiling.]

[manipul8trix.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeeeey, Terezi. Want me to help with that?

[ Doop doop just going to caaaaaaaasually hover towards the ceiling. Helpfully. Like a happy helper troll. Yeah. ]

I can reach better than you can. Yeah.

[circuitry]

There's no need for that! I can handle this just fine on my own.

[Did the panel move that time? Is that a tiny sliver of delicious FREEDOM peeking down at them?]
