Clark glanced up at the numbers, watching them light up one by one, successfully resisting the urge to hum along to the elevator music. He didn't even know the right tune; it was just one of those earworms programmed into everyone's brain. Standard elevator jingle.

Humming in front of the other elevator patrons would be a bit embarrassing, especially since the elevator was so oddly full.

... and then it stopped.

Akihiko never liked elevator music, he found it awfully grating sometimes. He didn't understand why they couldn't just leave a radio on instead.

He blinked when the elevator stopped but then decidedly shrugged it off. It would come back again, things like this were normal. The power had gone out once before in the castle.

He said nothing, ignoring the other people in the crowded elevator.

Moonbay was leaning against the side of the elevator, watching the numbers light up then dim out. The music was slightly irritating, but she could deal with it for short periods of time. Just as long as it wasn't on a long term basis...

Well, crap.

As the elevator came to a jerking halt, she stumbled a bit, knocking into the person next to her.

"What just happened?"

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

He was in a corner of the elevator, and little cramped and wishing it wasn't so full. Spanner had never been a people person, and being stuck so close to them like this, even for a few floors, was a highly uncomfortable and unpleasant experience.

Thus, when the elevator stopped and the doors failed to open, all he could do was to let his palm meet his face, and to sigh heavily. Great. Now he really was stuck with them.

[supes]

Clark reached to tap the "open door" button, and frowned.

"I think we lost power."

[givingchase.livejournal.com]

Sora, unwilling to keep still, immediately made his way to the button pad, shoving (gently!) until he got to it. It was a good thing he was pretty close to the thing anyway.

"Huh. All the little button lights are out. That's not good, right?"

[herwaltz.livejournal.com]

Once all attempts to free themselves had proven futile, Moonbay settled back against the wall, ready for the long night ahead. She had a little space around her. It was enough to be sort of comfortable, but she wasn't about to try sleeping yet, not when there were so many people still awake. No one ever knew what could happen.

Her eyes started roaming the small, boxed in room. Thankfully, she wasn't claustrophobic or anything like that. Since it certainly wasn't the biggest space in the castle, she soon found herself staring at the robot in Spanner's hands. Curiosity quickly got the better of her.

"What is that?" she found herself asking, eyes glued to the tiny mechanical... thing.

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

Spanner waved a bit of burnt-rubber scented smoke away from the both of them, paying only cursory attention to Moonbay sitting next to him. A few breaths blew the tiny fire out, but after that he knew that the bit he'd been working on was thoroughly ruined. So he began to remove it, shoving it and the attached wire into another of the deep and heavy pockets of his coveralls.

After that, it was a matter of figuring out which pocket had the replacement part, and going back to his work, eyes focused and voice a bit grumpy and standoffish as he replied to the question.

"It's a mosca. A robot, but it's the miniature version. It doesn't kill anything bigger than bugs, really. Maybe mice."

[herwaltz.livejournal.com]

She wasn't a stranger to smoke from work related incidents. The few times Moonbay had helped Dr. D with something, there was almost always an explosion or two. Sometimes a fire.

Moonbay just wrinkled her nose, both at the smell and his tone. Normally, the young woman might have snapped back, but right now, her curiosity was getting the better of her. Instead, she waited a few moments before continuing the inquiries.

"What's the big version like?"

[weeabot.livejournal.com]

He really didn't like being interrupted with his work. But still, that made a crowded elevator a bad place to start work in the first place, so he had only himself to blame.

Therefor, just moments after her second question, Spanner finished his movement, closed the back of the tiny robot, and slipped everything back into the various pockets it came from.

"They're killing machines. One of them can take out ten men, easily. They're just about half again my height, a man can ride in the biggest ones, the ones that aren't remote controlled. But... it's a little cramped. Why do you ask?"

[herwaltz.livejournal.com]

"We've got Zoids back home. You can pilot those, but you can't make them. They're also a lot bigger than what you just described," she answered casually, eyes going towards the elevator's ceiling.

Moonbay leaned against the cool wall behind her. Somehow they weren't overheating in this place, which was a small miracle in itself. While some food or a bathroom would have been nice, she wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Cloud had to pee. He was also completely unaware of the fact that his thoughts could be displayed in text boxes. Leaning back in an old school brooding pose, his blocky arms folded across his chest, he had his eyes closed as if thinking about something.

But what?

...

He could hold it.

[givingchase.livejournal.com]

... Sora could not contain a snicker. "Sooooo, Cloud. Where are you headed?"

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

Guess who was none the wiser.

[givingchase.livejournal.com]

Sora nodded. "Me too. It'd be nice if we got going right now, huh?"

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

That was obvious.

we need some fun in this elevator....... SAFETY

[bonerforscience.livejournal.com]

This was all very fun and exciting. Really. Ted yawned loudly, mouth open wide, then shook his head from side to side to clear his head. Magic, huh? To seal the elevator door. Whatever higher power there was in the castle had to be a real jerk.

Uh oh.

Ted didn't normally believe in karma, but he quickly changed his mind as he suddenly felt a big one coming. Oh, god. Ted, trying to be as calm as possible, casually sitting down beside Booster. He knew it was going to be a silent killer, so he had to be careful about his location. Unfortunately, being stuck in a tiny elevator didn't seem to give him much of an option.

He felt bad. Well, actually, he didn't, considering how lazy and rude Booster was being, falling asleep like a five-year-old on a bus. So he promised his best friend (telepathically) that he would make it up to him as he slowly let it out.

Let the blame games begin.

ewwwwwww

After being completely discouraged from doing... well... anything, Sora opted to kick back against a wall, hands behind his head. Well, they were stuck in an elevator, yeah, but that didn't mean they had to be-

... Oh, gross. Sora clapped a hand over his nose. "Whoever that was, cut it out!"

[brbfisting.livejournal.com]

At first Akihiko didn't catch it until it was stronger and he threw a hand near his face, waving back and forth to clear the air around him.

"Gross!"

[bonerforglory.livejournal.com]

Booster's nose crinkled as a rancid stench invaded his sleepy head.

"Ugh," he complained. "Okay, who just cut the cheese?"

His eyes snapped open and he glanced around at everyone above with accusing eyes.

"Do you realize what you've done? Now we're all going to suffocate because your fart just took up all the oxygen!"

So much for staying positive.

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

Ew. Gross.

3:30 AM

[givingchase.livejournal.com]

Sora seemed to be dozing off in a corner. He may be perky joy personified, but he still needed to snooze every once in a while...


OR MAYBE HE DIDN'T.

With his eyes still closed he started to hum under his breath... a very happy, bouncy little tune. It seemed to be bringing back memories for him. Happy memories.

After an abbreviated intro, he suddenly burst into song!

"The seaweed is always greener, in somebody else's lake! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=o7hcLSJWwH0&feature=related)"

[brbfisting.livejournal.com]

He was beginning to lose track of time. For all he knew, an hour could have gone by with them all bickering, farting and falling asleep in the elevator. This was going to get worse, wasn't it? Wouldn't they eventually run out of air? It was growing warmer in the small box-- maybe one of those guys had farted again.

Then singing started from a voice he was familiar with now. Akihiko rubbed his forehead. He commended Sora for keeping a optimistic attitude and trying to cheer up the others but his... loudness wasn't necessary.

"Can you keep it down?" he demanded.

[drivesaniisan.livejournal.com]

Jin had somehow still managed to keep his cool for the most part during the situtation, but it was slipping rapidly with the various actions and... whatever the others were doing. He'd obviously be happier if he had Yukianesa, so he could lock everyone in the room away in the life-deteriorating ice, but alas... So, he was just savoring the silence for now the best he could, until he heard that voice again.

His eyes snapped open wide the moment the singing began, and judging from the look in his eyes, he was going to go overboard any second. His eye nearly twitched as he glowered at Sora.

"Did you forget that you were ordered to stay silent!?"

[firsttsurugi.livejournal.com]

Meanwhile, Cloud had almost fallen asleep when Sora began to break out into song. To be perfectly honest, the blond himself hadn't been annoyed by it as much. Castle antics or just an act of his own, he was tolerable enough. What really concerned him was the way Jin was behaving. He knew perhaps better than most in this elevator how bad Jin could get.

Thankfully he didn't have Yukianesa, but that couldn't stop him from being a danger to others. Moving away from the wall, and getting around those that may have been sleeping (with Sora's singing and Jin's anger rising, who could?), he stepped beside Jin, looking to him. And then back to Sora.



Oh, by the way, Jin. He hit you with his own text box by accident when it popped up.



Oops.

[drivesaniisan.livejournal.com]

Good job, Cloud. You succeeded in making Jin angrier. The Major would slowly turn around to face Cloud, with a look that could kill. Not only did this freak know his name, but he had to nerve to hit him with that damn text box as well!?

Jin would grit his teeth, wishing even further that he had Yukianesa, but he would have to settle for strangling people if he had to. And he was about to.

"That's Major Kisaragi to you, scum! Who the hell do you think you are?!"
