Stuck In An Elevator Meme

Suddenly, the elevator... stops. You have to deal with whoever's in that elevator for however long it takes for someone to come rescue you or to figure out how to get out. Maybe you'll be there forever.

And no, the elevator can't be destroyed. If you look closely, the new safety rating clearly states it's made out of a plotnium-titanium alloy and rated to survive a small apocalypse.

Need further prompts? RNG or specify-

1. Normal Elevator.
Self-explanatory! It's just one of those days. You're trying to move a ridiculous amount of floors and then the elevator just stops moving. Completely.

2. Space Elevator.
That's right, they've got a geosynchronous tether outside of the Earth's atmosphere and are using it to cheaply ferry things to space. Did you want to get stuck at partial gravity with ground far, far below you? Did you? I bet you did. What will you do?

3. Uh.. you okay there...?
If you choose this option, your character was bitten by something. Who knows what? Could be a snake. Could be a zombie. Could be the other person in the elevator.

4. What's Happening Out There?
All power is out. The elevator is pitch black. There's no sound from the speaker no matter how many times you try to press the 'call' button. Is anyone even alive out there? Hello?

5. Experiment Group A
The elevator stops, and a weird hissing sound can be heard through the vents. Something's being pumped in here, but what?
1: Helium
2: Truth Gas
3: Make Your Own (or it's just the ventilation)
4: Suddenly, you can't hear anything. Figure out another way to communicate.
5: SNAKES?!

6: MORTAL KOMBAT
Not long after the elevator has already started moving, it screeches to a halt. The speaker crackles with static, and then a muffled, computerized voice speaks up. "Multiple occupants detected in the elevator. Please remove one in order to continue." But... the doors are already closed, and show no evidence of opening again. Do you follow through with this order? Try to escape some other way?

7: Party!
Streamers fall from the ceiling, the lighting dims, and disco lights pan across the floor. There's no explanation provided for what's happening, but if you look closely at the inspection notice, it clearly states "Elevator powered by sufficient partying levels." There is no explanation on what 'sufficient partying levels' means, but clearly you haven't reached them.

8: STOP MOVING
The ride never ends. It just keeps going. And going. Where is it taking you? Are you even in the building anymore?! And... wait, is it going sideways now?

9: Teleporting Elevator
Hey, there's this awesome new technology that simply teleports you to wherever you want to go! You decide to try it. It hums, powering up. There's a strange static taste to the air, a sudden pull, and then.. nothing. Not only does the elevator appear to be stuck, it could be stuck anywhere. It could even be stuck in a space between reality and theoretical existence, wherever it is it goes when it's in mid-transit.

...is there a help line for this? Do you dare open the doors to find out if you made it, or are going to doom you and the other person there?

10: Wildcard
Choose your own adventure!

she tried that, but she isn't allowed to watch Steven sleep anymore

Well, if you're sure.

[Hint: she is sure you're WRONG.

There is a small fweeee from one of the streamers. Do elevators give hints? Do the occupants take them? PROBABLY NOT]
steven_no: (is it stupid in here or just you)

nevah, also KEYWORDS

[Excuse u, being made of carbon squishiness]

I am perfectly aware of what a human LOOKS like, but goodness of course I wouldn't see one in a mirror
steven_no: (watch closely and you might even learn)

No I'm very sure it's you

[personal profile] steven_no 2015-09-26 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I am a Crystal Gem. I am older than your entire civilization and certainly am not made of MEAT.
steven_no: (eyeroll so hard they fell out of my head)

I'm so glad we had this conversation and you learned something

[personal profile] steven_no 2015-09-26 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I supPOSE to the untrained and uneducated eye, I DO look somewhat human.

But as you can see by the gem placed in my forehead, I am not.
steven_no: (STEVEN!)

[E X C U S E Y O U]

I DID NOT GLUE a ROCK. TO MY FOREHEAD!
steven_no: (ARE YOU CALLING ME STRAIGHT?)

[personal profile] steven_no 2015-09-26 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I USED a highly complex process that your puny HUMAN mind couldn't even comprehend!
steven_no: (Do you wish to engage in combat?)

[puny human laugh at Pearl, PEARL SMASH!


...well no, but she does lift both her hands to her gem, which starts to glow as she summons her spear and points it at Tetsuo


WhAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THAT?
steven_no: (STEVEN!)

THIS IS HARD PARTYING, LEVEL TEN [1/2]

[personal profile] steven_no 2015-09-26 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO DO!

[Pearl pulls her spear back, setting her feet into a perfectly balanced stance-]
steven_no: (BUT WE WON!)

[2/2]

[-and thrusts it DEEP into the disco ball, which shatters]

THERE. The lighting was atrocious.
steven_no: (watch closely and you might even learn)

[personal profile] steven_no 2015-09-26 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, it getting very annoying.
steven_no: (I have bullet points on your wrongness)

[personal profile] steven_no 2015-09-26 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, tch that made a bigger mess than I thought...

[Sorry, Tetsuo, she is yes seriously going to start picking up the pieces of the thing she just shattered]
steven_no: (eyeroll so hard they fell out of my head)

[personal profile] steven_no 2015-09-26 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Picking up this glass, obviously. I would think with your fragile body, you would want to avoid injuring yourself.
steven_no: (GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY (gay))

oh my god this is such the wrong icon

[personal profile] steven_no 2015-09-26 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Pearl is thrown HEAVILY against the farthest wall, and as her body touches it, there is the briefest of pauses...

...and then her body disappears in a poof of white smoke.

The curved, white gem at the top of her forehead clatters to the ground, attached to nothing anymore.


SEE? THERE WASN'T ANY GLUE]
