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

GEORDI WOULD NEVER

[a-breach-aint-1.livejournal.com]

Sorry, didn't mean to offend your sensibilites.

[He means it, if Pleakley's really offended...but he's also starting to get the tiniest bit irritated. Geordi turns to face Pleakley instead of the panel for a moment.]

Listen...Miss Pleakley. I see it, but it's not an emergency yet, okay? Just give me a minute and maybe we can get this working again without breaking any glass.

[The sooner, the better.]

We're stuck in a metal box who knows how far up and there is no handy call-a-fix-it-drone button.

So if this isn't an emergency yet, what, Geordi, would make this situation any worse?

[a-breach-aint-1.livejournal.com]

[Geordi glances up at the ceiling for a moment, counting to ten.

Once he's done, he glances back over at Pleakley, his smile a little more pasted on now.]

It'll be an emergency if I check and decide I can't fix it.

Okay?

[And without waiting for an answer, he turns back to the panel, reaching in to poke at the wires, scanning as efficiently as he can for the problem.]

[savesmosquitos.livejournal.com]

Oh ok. I guess YOU can make the call on that one. Nope, there's nothing vaguely emergency-like about some strange man messing with the wires in the box on what could be the top floor of a DEATH DROP.

What if I think it's emergency time huh?

[a-breach-aint-1.livejournal.com]

[Yeaaaah, this is pointless. Geordi doesn't bother answering this time, just leans closer and concentrates on what he's doing, fiddling with the wires until -]

-Aha.

[He looks up, smiling, as the elevator hums back to life.]

[savesmosquitos.livejournal.com]

We're saved th-!

[And then then elevator shoots in the absolute wrong direction]

OH THANK YOU VERY MUCH THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD HOPED WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!
