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

[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

[ 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 >:(]

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

I could probably punch through it.

[ AND JUST AS CONVERSATIONALLY: ]

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

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[Punch through it? What are you, a Terminator?

...Actually, on second thought, Sarah's not going to argue with superstrength right now.]

You really think you could--

[wait what.]

...excuse me?

[guntogold.livejournal.com]

[ doop doop unlatching her helmet. This doesn't really make her look any friendlier, given the scowl. ]

You heard me.

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[Sarah's scowling right back.]

...Who the fuck are you.

[and how do you know anything about her and York.]

[guntogold.livejournal.com]

My callsign is Texas.

York and I are old war buddies.

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

Texas.

[oh that name sounds familiar...]

I thought the AI got you.

[Because that's what Sarah assumes happens when people up and disappear from the station.]

[guntogold.livejournal.com]

Couldn't tell you what happened to the other version of me that was here before. I'm mostly new.

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

....Right.

[She's not sure if she believes that, but hey. She'll go with it...for the moment. She scowls, and crosses her arms across her chest.]

Well, welcome to hell.

[guntogold.livejournal.com]

Oh, the elevator's not that bad. Even if it drops us I'll be fine.

[ raging bitch, what. ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[oh girl you didn't.]

Isn't that a relief.

[Sarah, on the other hand, doesn't have protective armor. :( As she is sure Tex is fully aware.]

Didn't you say something about punching through the door?
