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

...godmods a little. ♥?

[Shepard just sighs. Remove it, it is. She grabs the offending hand and twists it at an awkward and probably painful angle. This has the unfortunate side-effect of pulling Virgil just that much closer to her...but she knows she's hurting him, so that makes it forgivable.]

You can have all the godmods

[Virgil squawks a bit, then covers his discomfort with a sharp-toothed grin. He doesn't attempt to reclaim his hand, but he does press her into the wall of the elevator.]

It doesn't have to be this way you know. [Purr. This doesn't hurt one bit. Nope.]

Ahaha brilliant.

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

[See icon.

Shepard just keeps a steady grip on his hand and arches an eyebrow as Virgil suavely presses himself against her. She blinks, rather disaffected, before slowly applying pressure in a direction his limb is not supposed to go.]

[Virgil's lips twitch as the discomfort becomes honest to goodness pain. Pain is one of his least favorite sensations.

He did a good job at self preservation most of the time. He'd built himself up as a non-threat. This perception was probably the only reason that he managed to press his teeth into Shepard's throat.]

You can let go now...

CLEVER GIRL.

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

[Teeth, on her neck. Oh, well this was interesting. Shepard's arched brow goes a little higher. She hasn't let go but she has let up on the pressure.]

Ballsy.

And if I don't?

Ohoho. He's going to get murdered later.

[suckitimashark.livejournal.com]

[Virgil smiles and he rolls his hand experimentally. When he replies, his voice is a low purr.] I can live with a broken wrist. You need your throat.

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

[Shepard is smiling, not that Virgil has a really clear view of it, what with his teeth nearly on her throat. It comes out in her voice, though, and it's a little worrisome.]

How long do you think it'll take me to bleed out?

[There's a sound of a gun being drawn.]

Because I'd wager...ten, fifteen seconds.

[suckitimashark.livejournal.com]

[Oh right... she has two hands. Well shit. He flits through his options to find the one that doesn't involve him DYING.]

Aint I embarrassed now. [He chuckles. His teeth are still pressed against her skin but he doesn't pull back. Far more subtly, he slides his plasma cutter out of its holster and flicks it on.]

So where does this put us, then? [He asks casually, careful to keep his weapon out of her sight.]

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

[You do know she can hear that, right Virgil? The sound of a plasma cutter turning on isn't normal. Shepard just looks down at him, what she can see without moving her head, and 'hmm's quietly.]

I believe this is a Mexican standoff, technically.

[There's a long, looooong moment before Shepard laughs and lets go of his bent hand. Her now freed hand claps down against his back a little harder than necessary, but in a generally friendly fashion.]

Sometimes, Virgil, I almost like you.

[suckitimashark.livejournal.com]

I'm flattered, Commander.

[He rolls his reclaimed wrist to test it for functionality before giving her throat a long loving lick. OH SO CASUALLY he sticks that plasma cutter into the panel as if that's what he'd been intending to do all along and pries it open to reveal the delicious wiring beneath]

Shall we get out of here, then?

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

Do it.

[Shepard just holsters her gun and folds her arms across her chest. She's just so goddam amused right now, she might even let him get away with that licking bullshit.

This time.]

[suckitimashark.livejournal.com]

My pleasure.

[And not a minute later, the elevator shudders and off they go. Virgil is infinitely pleased with himself as he reholsters his plasma cutter and loops his thumbs through his belt loops. He doubts either of them will ever mention this incident again and that is perfectly okay with him. He has new things to ~think about~ and he didn't get murdered. Bonuses all around.]
