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

[ well this isn't awkward or anything ]

mwahaha

[NOT IN THE LEAST.

Sarah frowns, and pushes the button again, not looking at him.]

[ s-sob if he just stands there and says nothing, maybe she won't speak first. ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[it works for about ten seconds.]


...Come on, what the fuck's the matter with this thing.

[JABBING BUTTONS >:(]

[equalsdeath.livejournal.com]

Might be overloaded.

[ JUST AN ARBITRARY GUESS but he is a fuck heavy Terminator... ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

...Great.

[and whose fault is that, mr. metal endoskeleton.

Sarah drops to her knees and starts trying to pry the cover off the access panel.]

There's gotta be some way to override it.

[equalsdeath.livejournal.com]

...let me.

[ kneeling down next to her kdslfj WHY JOHN CONNOR'S MOM OF ALL PEOPLE. ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[Sarah glances sidelong at him, not moving an inch.]

You know anything about elevators?

[equalsdeath.livejournal.com]

Not really. But I'm decent enough with hotwiring a car.

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[That's more credentials than Sarah has. She doesn't actually say so, though, just moves aside, watching closely over his shoulder.

No pressure or anything, Marcus.]

[equalsdeath.livejournal.com]

[ No this kind of the exact opposite of no pressure. He sets his jaw and starts fiddling with the wiring anyway. Not like he can be electrocuted.

AWKWARD SILENCE, GO. ]

[hows-the-knee.livejournal.com]

[Not like Sarah would be particularly heartbroken, if he was.

She waits, still watching with a critical eye, though she doesn't have the faintest idea what he's doing.]
