Going up?

[lumeria]

Here I am, stuck in an elevator with you~

The TRAPPED IN AN ELEVATOR Meme
There you are, minding your own business when you have to get on an elevator. Maybe you're on your way to work or home. Maybe you're out running errands. Maybe you're visiting someone or some other various reason.

It's just a box that goes up and down until it doesn't. It suddenly stops and now you're stuck. Uh-oh.

How to play!
⬧ Post a top-level comment with your character and why they are taking an elevator that day. Try not to leave a blank comment.
⬧ The options are almost endless! Is your character claustrophobic? Is the elevator in dire need of repairs or is it standard maintenance gone awry? Has the power gone out? Is it a trap? Any hanky-panky happening? What's going on?
⬧Have fun! Maybe you'll make a new friend or a mortal nemesis. Who knows?

Piccolo 🥒 Dragon Ball

[postboy]

[ Piccolo is taking up far too much space with his shoulder pads and cape, having to stand directly in the centre of the elevator at a diagonal. He's also pretending to be calm, arms crossed and quiet. But one foot taps impatiently. ]

[ He could probably fix it. Too bad he's way too busy laughing his head off about it, though. ]

March 7th | Honkai Star Rail

[phothawgraphy]

[ This is sadly typical for the Astral Express crew. March sighs and crosses her arms, looking rather grumpy on her side of the elevator. ]

[starcinoma]

[ stelle looks... about the same as usual, really. ]

Is it taking longer than usual?

[ possibly because she hasn't noticed. ]

[phothawgraphy]

We've been here for almost ten minutes! I can't believe you haven't noticed.

[ Sometimes she worries about you, Stelle. ]

[starcinoma]

...that's longer than usual, right?

[ it's said with a completely blank expression - though march might be able to tell that stelle is, at least on some level, absolutely fucking with her right now. ]

[phothawgraphy]

Can you take this seriously?

[ Yeah, she's on to you, Miss Stelle! ]

What if we starve to death?

[ On the other hand, she might be stupid. ]

I haven't eaten since breakfast...

[starcinoma]

We're not going to starve. [ a beat. ] ...though you'll probably disagree.

[ she's been around when march missed lunch before. it's hard to forget that kind of thing. ]

[phothawgraphy]

I bet they don't even know we're here. We'll be trapped in the bowels of the Xianzhou Luofu forever.

[ March looks absolutely stricken. ]

I never even got to try the songlotus cakes at that place near the hotel... Is this the end for March 7th?

[starcinoma]

It's not the end. We'll be fine...

[ she could just leave it at that. she should. she really should. ]

...as long as the Xing-Xing don't smell us.

[phothawgraphy]

The--the Xing-Xing? What are the Xing-Xing?!

[ OH NO. ]

[starcinoma]

Beasts that hide in the elevator shaft. Ten feet tall, and swinging from cable to cable.

[ sorry, march. you're just... too easy. especially when dan heng isn't here to sigh reproachfully. ]

Arlan | Honkai: Star Rail | OTA

[peppyskeeper]

[phothawgraphy]

...Is it supposed to take this long?

[ March stares at the control panel. It's your space station, Arlan. You tell her. ]

[peppyskeeper]

No, this isn't normal.

[ Arlan admits, studying the panel and then glancing around the elevator. He doesn't like the feel of this situation. Communications are always a bit on the fritz in elevators as well. ]

[phothawgraphy]

I hope it's nothing weird. I need to get back to the Express...

[ FROWN. It's gonna be tea time... ]

[peppyskeeper]

Can you try your communicator? Mine’s not working.

[ Arlan says, looking away from his phone over to March apologetically. ]
