[Active/closed] Tall and Tan and Young and Lovely

[thesilenthero]

Characters: Lexaeus, Saria, Harvey, Zidane
Content: Saria, Harvey, and Zidane get stuck in an elevator. Lexaeus gets stuck in an elevator...again.
Location: The elevator
Time of Day: Night
Warnings: It might get a bit crowded in here.


Lexaeus was quite aware of the problems with the elevator; after the time he'd spent stuck with Riku, he had gone out of his way to warn Ienzo of the potential hazards of using it before it was fixed. However, between one thing and another, his own warning had slipped his mind by the next day. It was, after all, normal to use the elevator, and his thoughts were more focused on cataloging his and Ienzo's recent acquisitions than whether the elevator was functioning or not.

That was what led Lexaeus to step into the elevator, oblivious to the possible peril ahead.

Saria felt a little nervous about elevators as it was. The slightest jolt or noise outside in the shaft made her jump. She didn't like to think of herself as claustrophobic, but she certainly didn't want to be in a closed metal box for longer than she needed to.

She scooted toward the back of the elevator as Lexaeus stepped inside, craning her neck to smile at him. She was used to being smaller than most of the others on the Satellite of Love, but Lexaeus was enormous to her, which always made her feel a little nervous. But he seemed nice enough, if very quiet.

Lexaeus smiled down at Saria. He hadn't really met her properly; he didn't tend to go to the nature deck, which she seemed to favor. It seemed like an oversight now; Ienzo might benefit from being in a place that at least simulated the natural world. Did anyone look out for the girl, or was she on her own? Lexaeus couldn't recall, and that seemed a grave oversight on his part. He would have to remedy it.

"Hello. I hope you are well this evening."

Sorry for the delay!

And Zidane, well... he just wanted to go down a couple of floors. He'd heard vague warnings about the elevators, but still, a mode of transportation is a mode of transportation, so he stepped in. He was under the same problem that many others on the Satellite were facing - while normally he would be smiling, maybe humming under his breath or talking to everyone, now he was just nodding in recognition and staring at the wall. His nod was a little deeper to Saria than to Lex, but he settled against the wall of the elevator with no words of his own.

lololololol it's cool

Harvey had heard something about the elevators, but he hadn't been paying much attention. He just wanted to go grab something to eat from the kitchens...and maybe get away from Liz for a while. He didn't know what was up with this seriousness bug goin' around, but it was startin' to get weird.

"Evenin'," He nodded a greeting at the three already in the elevator, none of whom he knew particularly, and spared a smile for Saria before leaning against a wall himself.

And we're off!

[thesilenthero]

Lexaeus settled back as the elevator doors closed and the elevator started off. He wasn't particularly thinking of what had happened earlier until the elevator jerked to a stop. He looked up at the ceiling and let out a long sigh. Not again.

Saria just smiled at the others, nodding shyly. She'd spoken with Zidane, at least, but he seemed different lately, and it made her a little nervous. Harvey she didn't know as well, but he seemed nice enough.

Which is probably why, as the elevator lurched unnaturally, she jumped for him first, latching onto his leg with a startled squeak. She held on as she looked up at the other, noting Lexaeus's sigh. She could hear strange creaking noises outside the elevator, and the floor below her wasn't vibrating in its usual way. They were stopped.
