Stuck In An Elevator Meme

[iamtetsuo]

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?

[Mewtwo's day started rotten. The only good thing is that the rottenness stayed consistent throughout the entire day. He found himself out of the frying pan and in an oven once he came into the captivity of some notPokemnon wanting to take him captive.

But of course he got out, right in time to catch this elevator...only to find himself trapped with some...huge Aerodactyl.

Mewtwo will give this thing the benefit of the doubt over anything else out there. Mostly because he's trapped.

< Are you an escapee too? >]

[Ridley jerks in visible surprise, vulturelike neck unfolding enough to bang his head hard against the wall of the elevator. Hissing angrily, he folds his neck back, head swiveling to glare around. He didn't hear anything, but he very clearly felt words. The creature in the elevator that he'd basically forgotten all about is the first suspect, mostly because he's got no clue what else can do that.]

What?!

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[Since he's the only being in the elevator, that might be a good point of suspicion. Mewtwo rises, floating clear of Ridley's violent thrashing.

< I am asking: are you an escapee? >]

[geoform187]

[Technically? At this point? Yes. He would consider himself one.

Even though he was part of the main invasion force. It's been a day.]

An escapee? Not before someone had to come along and tear my wings!

Do you have any idea how inconvenient that is?!

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[Ah, so he was as much a victim as he.

< No, but I think I can understand what it's like. >]
