Yeah, that's all it takes to get pretty winded, eh, ehhh?
*Looks up at the floor counter*
I like these better when they're dials.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*The light nears the far right of a bar as the hum of the elevator approaches*
An antiquated style, but I do appreciate the aesthetic.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Way easier to speed em up, too.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*The elevator opens up to a well-lit gray interior*
Not a fan of waiting, huh?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

A quick straightfire scene is way better than skipping the boring bits with jumpcuts.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I figured you’d be a big fan of movie magic.
*Steps in and looks at the elevator’s button panel, and a male voice rings out from the speaker in the corner*
Voice: Guest floor.
-*Glances toward the speaker, then back to the buttons. The buttons themselves are even a little dusty, but some of them show signs of clear use. The floors are labeled in extremely short abbreviated form, no more than 2 letters per button with seemingly no pattern to them*

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Okay, the fun option is to hit them all. The boring option is to start from the bottom or something and work our way up.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

And do you think there’s an in between?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Glances to the side at you*
Do you know how to clone yourself?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Not only do I not, I can’t reasonably be cloned at all. Cybernetic implants.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Returns to looking forward*
Well there goes that idea.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

Good ol' bean juice, coming right up.
*Pulls a manual grinder from the shelf of an intricate and well-maintained coffee bar and measures out beans by the gram, then pours them into the grinder and starts rotating the crank*
I heard you met the kids yesterday.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Well, nothing’s going to be more boring than standing here and thinking about it.
*Reaches forward and taps the button nearest the bottom, labelled SPR*

<Snipped quote by Session>

Yes, I mainly talked to Dawn. She is very kind. I briefly met Stella, she was working on reviving someone the time I was interacting with them. She appears to very interested in her studies and learning. Judging from what I heard when her and your husband were reviving the friend of my boss’s daughter.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

You've got a complicated web of networks, huh?

<Snipped quote by Session>

Only recently. Before it was just friends and colleagues from different departments.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

How recently is that?
*Tamps the grounds and hooks it into the machine*
And how strong do you want it?

<Snipped quote by Session>

Yesterday. A very long yesterday.
*looks at you*
Typically I like it strong, but I’m afraid of what strong is to you compared to mine so I’d say “strong enough to keep my mind at a consistent level of heightened awareness all day”.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

I have no idea what that looks like for you. But okay. You get it normal.
*Fills the top of the machine with purified hot water from a spout and closes it up*
So in other words, yesterday changed everything for you, huh?

<Snipped quote by Session>

Yes. My world is gone, literally and figuratively. And I really have no one else to go to.
