Who: Clark +
What: Stuck In An Elevator round 2
When: Wednesday night
Where: Elevator
Rating: PG-13?
Notes: The doors will be magically super-duper-glued shut and sealed, and your journals will poof away to your rooms. Good luck, fools, you aren't getting out until dawn. NO ORDER, just keep it in one comment chain for the main event. Just refresh before you comment in case someone beat you to it. Aaaaand if you wanna start other threads for later when the initial "OMG WAT" is over... that's cool too 8)

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.

Clark ran his fingers along the groove of the door, just so he could force them open, rather than break them out. He gave it a gentle shove –– something that could have folded thinner metal doors in half –– to no avail. He gave a confused "huh" and tried again, continuously applying more and more pressure until he had to put actual effort into it.

With a frown, he scanned the door, only to get a lot of blank white glare bouncing back.

"It's definitely the castle, not the mechanics," he said, with a sigh. "Magic."

"Magic?" Sora had been keeping his hands to himself up to this point, but he looked at the door again. "No keyholes or anything?"

...Oh it figures. He gave a groan and put his hand to his forehead

"It's a flipping elevator, 'course it won't have a keyhole. Looks like we're stuck in here." Again.

And then he gave a lazy look over at Cloud.

"And what happened to you Cloud?"

He would always recongize the blond from his world.

He tensed a little at the statement and put a hand on the door. Damn. He had flashbacks to that one particular full moon battle and then he pulled back from the door, folding his arms again.

"Why would it do that?" But then that brunette kid opened his mouth again and he glared at him. "Why would there be a keyhole in an elevator?"

Did Reno really ask that? Cloud gave him as much of a frowning stare as he could. Needless to say, it didn't work so well. At least this form hid his emotions decently enough.

When in doubt, blame the castle. He couldn't get by the Turk, nosiree.

Jin would silently confess to himself that a sort of 'magic' on a door was at least more acceptable than the rest of the magic in this atrocious place, but it wouldn't lessen his anger any.

He would join Akihiko in shooting a glare at Sora when the kid opened his mouth, his patience slipping a rapid rate, "Do you ever shut up?"

Sora shrugged. "It's just a question! I've seen trees with keyholes, clocks with keyholes, some random table thing... and I can open most stuff with keyholes." He flashed a grin at both the gray haired guy and the grumpy blond. "I could shut up, but it's kind of hard to know if you can help if you don't say anything, right?"

Normally Akihiko didn't let his patience slip easily but Sora was pushing it.

And it had been only say, fifteen minutes?

"Could you just... stop?"

"You thought wrong, apparently." He sighed and looked up at the ceiling. It was going to be a long night.

"And if you can't, would you be willing to get gagged?"

At least Jin wasn't the only one who was losing his patience... not that it mattered. He gave a cold look to Sora, his green eyes narrowing.

"You aren't helping in the slightest. Now, you'd better do well to follow orders and silence yourself."

... Geez, it looks like everyone got up on the wrong side of bed this morning. "Well... okay. Just as long as there's nothing else I can do, right?" He knew about orders! He was in an army once! He could follow orders, really!

Poor kid. He was only trying to help, it wasn't his fault that the elevator was full of girly-looking guys with tempers of menopausal women.

"Don't sweat it, kid," Ted said from the other side of the elevator, flashing him a grin. "Just sit back and let... well, the castle handle it, I guess. Magic's gotta wear off somehow, right?" Bah. Magic.

He hated this elevator.

"If it's like the last time it did this, it'll let us out in the morning. So we got a good long while."

Ted got a cheerful nod! "That's right!" Sora paused, then quickly clapped his hands over his mouth. Oops, he forgot. Better be more careful next time! He wanted to comment that it'd probably be more fun if people got to know each other in here and maybe made friends, but if everyone in here took their grumpy pills in the morning... It probably wouldn't do any good.

Sigh. Now he sorta wished Riku was here.

Akihiko fell silent.

He hated this elevator, too.
