Woah!
*Slams into the ceiling of the elevator with a loud thunk and then falls back down with spirals in my eyes again*
I just can't win today...

@Webmaster

I get that it's been a while since they've been here to maintain anything, but I'm shocked. Are power failures common here?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

I didn't even think about that! This is why they pay you the big bucks.

@Webmaster

*Tilts my head sideways toward you and nods*
Can't argue wi-
*The elevator stops moving with a jolt as power to the lift seems to fail suddenly. I reach out to grab s rail attached to the wall and steady myself from the sudden momentum shift*

*My jaw drops*
NO. WAY.

@Webmaster

*Shrugs*
I’m not so sure it does, but the odds are never zero.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Good thinking. The "spirits" floor for us to charge up the Ghostprise-O-Matic 3000.

@Webmaster

It could stand for “Surprise!”.
*The door closes and we start to descend*

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

@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*

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

@Webmaster

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

<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.

@Webmaster

And do you think there’s an in between?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

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

@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>

Way easier to speed em up, too.

@Webmaster

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

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

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.

@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.
