Stuck in an Elevator




The tiny room lurches. There's an ominous scrape outside, and your little elevator comes to a sudden, screeching halt. Congrats--you and another passenger are trapped in an elevator!

Now what?

Elevator Types

1. Normal Elevator
Just your average, modern elevator.

2. Old Elevator
This is an older cage-type elevator. It's a bit more rickety than the average sort, and a lot rustier. You might not want to look outside either.

3. Mine Lift
Regardless of why you happen to be in an old, abandoned mine, you're trapped in a mine lift.

4. Space Elevator
You were going to space. Now, there's only stars and black void around you. Good luck with that.

Prompts

1. Stop the Music!
This elevator seems safe enough, apart from the fact that you're trapped in it, but there's some obnoxious elevator music playing, too. With no signs of it stopping and no signs of escape, how long can you last?

2. Who Turned Out the Lights?
When the elevator broke down, so did the lights! Try not to run into your fellow passengers!

3. It's Getting Hot in Here...
The lights are fine, but the thermostat isn't. It's either uncomfortably warm or too cold for comfort.

4. Honey, Who Shrunk the Elevator?
For some reason, the elevator's slowly shrinking down! It'll stop eventually, but I hope you don't mind sharing close quarters with your elevator mate.

5. Earthquake!
Turns out that it was an earthquake that broke your elevator. The world's shaking out there--and so is your elevator. You're fine, but for how long?

6. Obligatory Smut Option
Aphrodisiacs are being pumped into the elevator--and if you want to get out of here, you're going to need to get a little cozier with your partner.

Shit—!

[ As soon as things begin shuddering, he doesn't have to guess what's going on and he certainly doesn't have to be told what to do. They're still several floors up, which means they have a long way to fall. And unless he can figure out the exact amount of space between them and crushing to the bottom of the elevator shaft, any alchemy he does might make things worse. So, instead, he reaches out to place both of his hands on either side of hers, acting as a protective shield in case anything decides to drop on them. Even if it's more likely for them to drop on something else.

And any second now, he's expecting the feeling of his stomach dropping as something gives way. ]

[ She isn't expecting the sudden protectiveness in this situation; she can handle herself. It's terrifying to be in an elevator during an earthquake, really, but she's been through quakes before. Hopefully this one wouldn't end in her dead.

At the bottom of an elevator shaft.

She almost groans at the idea. The ground shakes and rattles and rumbles and the walls are trembling but the cord doesn't give way. Not yet. Her grip tightens.

Buffy -- by the - way. [ Yeah because now is the PERFECT time for chitchat. ]
