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?

You can't just pretend you're on the phone when you're with a telepath.
He bounces on his heels as the elevator goes up, taking sneak glances at Tetsuo in case the other wants to start a conversation.
He doesn't. Good. In fact, he looks like he's about to leave on his own accord. Fine, it's not like he really cared.
Or he wouldn't the elevator jerks to a stop, lights flicking once before--hissing. Something hissing. Kaneda knows well enough by now just what it is--too many government riots and attacks prepared him for this.
And he tenses up.]
What the hell...
no subject
From the sound of things behind him, Kaneda hears it too; that means he's not hearing things. That means this is really, truly happening. That means...
Tetsuo doesn't waste breath on answering that. He grunts, trying to rip at the elevator, tear the ventilation shaft enough that whatever that is stops. He can feel the force arc through the air. It crashes hard against the elevator with a horrible sound. But the wall and vent stands completely unscathed.]
What?!
no subject
That is...until all of Tetsuo's hard work is for nothing.
There's not even a scratch on it.]
Are you KIDDING me?! Your powers busted or something!?
no subject
[So why didn't that even leave a dent? He knows they work. He can feel it when they're not there. He knows the difference.
What the hell is going on?]
no subject
An invisible gas was the worst kind.]
I'm not really all that convinced!!!
no subject
[Panic and anger play very, very well together.]
no subject
Try again! Unless you've got any other ideas in that giant head of yours!
no subject
[He's not doing this because you told him to, Kaneda. He's doing this because he doesn't want to die.]
RGHAAAAA!
[The air pressure increases and gravity distorts as Tetsuo pours absolutely everything he possibly can into trying to shatter that wall. His face contorts to rage, and then pain, but he doesn't dare let the increasing buzz of pressure in his head go for a second. He'll push past it. He has to. This elevator will open!!!
Except it doesn't. The only thing remotely affected is everything in the elevator.]
no subject
Yeah, Tetsuo would get them out of this.
...That is, unless he doesn't. The elevator looked no more broken than it had only moments ago.]
What the hell!?!
no subject
It's only a brief pause before he keeps pushing, shoving raw force until the air practically shimmers from it. Breaking things is all he's ever really learned how to do; so why isn't this working?!
Sweat beads on his forehead, fear starts to overtake fury on his face, his ears are ringing from pressure -- but he doesn't let go until it feels like his skull's cracking into pieces from the sheer amount of counterweight pressing against it. Only then does he slump against the wall, panting with exertion.]
no subject
TETSUOOOO!!!
[It feels like his ribs are going to get crushed by the sheer amount of pain...trying to move his hands up to hold them...that is until it becomes too much for Tetsuo himself as the pressure stops.
He can feel his legs turn to jelly, sliding down to the floor as he cups his torso with his arms.]
What kind of assholes...BUILT this elevator?!
[He'd seen what Tetsuo could do, and this elevator should have been rubble minutes ago.]
no subject
He... he couldn't do it. Whatever this elevator is, it's stronger than he is. If he dies here...]
