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

CINDY.

[Cindy is about three seconds away from filling the room with flaming bees or stabbing the door with her giant needle until it ruptures. Clearly this is the time to interact with her.]

[Dubious looks behind skullmet go here]

[Cindy looks right back at her, and lets out a frustrated sound that isn't particularly dissimilar from a screechy dolphin click. She then jerks her helmet at the controls.

Fix it, 7. You're a normal people.]

[identity profile] qcksilverspear.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[7 doesn't flinch, still watching her warrily, then glances over at the controls.]

[See, this is exactly why she didn't like technology. You couldn't trust it. She tries mashing all of the buttons, which doesn't work, kicking it out of frustration, which works even less when she stubs her toe, and then gives up and just slams her spear into it. Which, of course, just breaks and bursts into sparks and jolts her backwards.]

[Cindy huffs in frustration and hurls a fireball at the door. It fizzles out but not after melting the controls and increasing the temperature in the small room a good twenty degrees.

WHY. WASN'T. IT. WORKING!?

Cindy stabs it a few times and when the molten plastic fails to react, aside from dropping the lodged piece of spear, she shrieks at it and sits down.]

[7's infintely glad she'd been shocked back before Cindy's flaming attack, but that still doesn't cool the room any. She removes her skullmet to drag her arm across her forehead, wiping away sweat from the head and her earlier exertion, watching as Cindy tries her hand at it before sitting down.]

[She crosses her arms for a moment, glaring at the molten and stabbed controls as if trying to will them to work, before looking around at the rest of the elevator.]

[Access panel at the top. Maybe she could ...]

[Don't mind 7, Cindy, she's just going to leap on you in order to reach the ceiling and push at that panel ...]

[identity profile] thiswaydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cindy doesn't really have the room to flail and knock seven off, so she settles for a loud, indignant shriek as the woman climbs her like a freaky, dive-suited ladder.]

GET OFF.

[identity profile] qcksilverspear.livejournal.com 2011-03-23 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[The shriek startles 7, and she plants a hand against the wall to keep from falling off, glancing down and snapping back,]

Hold still! I'm trying to find a way out!

[Then goes back to pushing the panel aside and pulling herself up onto the top of the car]

[identity profile] thiswaydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-03-23 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[She got out? Out of the car through the roof? Cindy just watches her scramble up and as soon as she's freed from Seven's weight, she twists and tries to figure out how she's going to fit through that regular-people-sized vent.]

Fix it!

[identity profile] qcksilverspear.livejournal.com 2011-03-23 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[7 hovers a moment by the panel, frowning at the small opening and Cindy's rather large bulk. That wasn't going to work. She looks around the shaft. They were halfway between floors, of course, but if she could get the car to drop just a foot or two, Cindy could needle the doors open and get out that way.]

[But how to get it to drop ... ? She leans over and sticks her head back into the elevator]


Try jumping -- just once. We have to try and lower it a bit.

[Cindy stamps her feet and stabs at the doors before looking back at the little troll girl. It was okay, she didn't need to scare her. Cindy huffs and drops down to sit next to her.

And then she's being pulled into a very awkward hug against a metal and canvas dive-suit.]

[Okay, Terezi, you got this, you may trapped in with THE GIANT SCREECHING METAL THING WHO KIDNAPPED YOU EARLIER (seriously why the fuck didn't you just pass on this elevator, what were you thinking), but goddammit you are a Seer of Mind and you will OWN THIS SHIT

OH GOD SHE'S STABBING AT THE DOORS AND THERE IS NO ROOM TO MANEUVER, HOW IN THE WORLD ARE YOU GOING TO MANAGE THIS AND NOW THE THING IS

SITTING NEXT TO YOU?

okay this doesn't make any sense but OH FUCK WHAT IS WITH THE HUGS]

[identity profile] thiswaydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's okay freaked out little girl, Cindy is just going to hug you until you feel better. This could take a while. Cindy just drags you into her lap and waits.

And waits some more.

The door isn't open and she's impatient, but hugging is clearly priority.]

[identity profile] thiswaydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shrieking at the door hadn't helped. Kicking the door hadn't helped. Telekinesis had made the whole elevator creak in that ominous, about to fall sort of way. Cindy was frustrated, and she doubted bees were going to crack through the door.

She harumphs, in a fashion that sounds most akin to a releasing pressure valve, and turns her attention back to the little girl in the room with her. She proceeds to pat Kanaya on the head, awkwardly, in reassurance.

Don't worry, she'll get you out of here, little sister.]

[identity profile] mcfussyfangs.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kanaya has, at this point, resolved to stand in the corner and accept her fate to be trapped in an elevator with possibly sentient kidnapper monster. She wishes she had the DEMONBANE RAGRIPPER. That chainsaw could cut through anything. wait what it's walking toward her What]

Please stay on your si-

[Oh. Uhm. Okay. Kanaya will just, pat that patting hand awkwardly.]

[Cindy takes her hand in her giant, metal tipped, gloved hand and just holds it. This keeps sisters calm, right?]

[identity profile] mcfussyfangs.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[She- What. Are they holding hands? Yes... They are. Okay. She can do this.]

Do you wish for me to reciprocate your cranial pattings?

[Because she can probably do that. Just need to get on her tip toes. Oh god why is this thing so tall...]

[identity profile] thiswaydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-03-22 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, those were a lot of big words. Cindy just stares down at Kanaya. Kanaya who is reaching for her helmet. OH. SHE WANTED UP.

c:

Without further delay, Cindy cheerfully picked her up and put her on her shoulders. How's it feel to suddenly be a little over seven feet? At least you aren't in the cage this time, amirite?]

[identity profile] mcfussyfangs.livejournal.com 2011-03-23 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[She flails a little before resigning herself to being 7 feet up in the air and adjusting herself so that she is sitting on one shoulder. Then she just... carefully pats Cindy on the helmet.

This is supposed to be a comforting gesture. Is it working yet?]

Happy big sister icons, I don't have any.

[identity profile] thiswaydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-03-23 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Cindy is just the happiest big sister right now. Kanaya isn't even screaming a little, and that's really boss. Now, though, she should probably find a way out.

Careful not to dislodge Kanaya, Cindy starts prodding at the seams of the elevator: vents, corners, part lines. She pretty much pokes anything that looks like it might be a weak spot. If she finds one, you bet she's going to smash it open to get out.]

Just color a :) onto her helmet

[identity profile] mcfussyfangs.livejournal.com 2011-03-25 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Kanaya is just the most weirded out troll right now. Besides Tavros that is, but he's always weirded out by everything.]

Excuse me, Miss... [What did that woman on the network say this one's name was?] Cindy?

What are you doing?
