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...


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?
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

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


*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*
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*My jaw drops*
NO. WAY.


*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.


It could stand for “Surprise!”.
*The door closes and we start to descend*
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

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


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 Armed Forces>

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


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.


And do you think there’s an in between?
<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

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


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.


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


*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.
