Yeah, you're a right hero. Come on, rescue us or something, Parkinson.

Nope. No untimely ends are going to be met in this elevator, I promise.

I'm not sure why I'm suddenly responsible for this situation, but I am in fact hunting down an authority figure.
How're those walls? Don't let them close in!

I'm going to try to pry open the elevator doors, get in the shaft, and come rescue you!

Not for a few days at least. Or longer, if you eat Potter.

Braw as hell. I can see out the window. There's clouds and a pigeon just shat on an old guy's head.

It's called a life lesson. They're invaluable.

Oh! Lemme get my camera and I'll bring you a crowbar.

Between you and Louis, hopefully we'll get someone out here before we all go mad.

The walls are fine, your sympathy has been noted.

Life lesson number two: Start travelling with a flask.

[personal profile] hugogogadget 2021-02-21 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, document it!

You have a crowbar?
zeropercentfresh: (006)

[personal profile] zeropercentfresh 2021-02-21 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
You got it Hugh. A masterpiece in the making.

Oh, yeah, and a drill, a couple of screw drivers, dremel tool. Should I bring any of those, you think?
hugogogadget: (🦷 - 066)

[personal profile] hugogogadget 2021-02-21 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, better safe than sorry. You got any rope in that toolkit of yours?
zeropercentfresh: (015)

[personal profile] zeropercentfresh 2021-02-21 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Nah but I bet I can scrounge up some butcher's twine from the kitchen. Flavortown's loaded with that kinda stuff. I'm sure if we braid a bunch together it'll hold.

Hey, if it's strong enough for a rotisserie chicken, it's strong enough for me.

That's the spirit. Chicken power's gotta count for something in this wonky ass building, right?

Seems you're in Molly and Hugo's capable twined hands, now. You'll be right out.
ringhollow: (-? shock hand to throat)

[...] That's not standard practice?

No doubt. Our plan has been blessed by the Chicken up above.

If you die trying to get us out of an elevator, your mum will kill me.

I've got five clean reps benching 100kg, I'll have you know.

You mean now you'll just have two more people to save. Yay or nay on trying to bust through the top and climb the cable? What are elevator cables made of, anyway?

Why does this need to be documented?
asterroid: (041)

[personal profile] asterroid 2021-02-21 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Inventive. But some problems with that plan as I see them include:
1)Blasting the roof is just going to mean head damage and can you really handle more of that?
2) Is it a magical elevator because maybe metal cables aren't suspending you, and it's just nothingness, or chicken feathers.
3) Also what happens when you reach the top of an elevator shaft or closed door and you're still stuck.
