The Stuck in an Elevator Meme

[pantheraliam]

Looks like we'll be here a while.

This one's pretty self-explanatory! Who knows why you came to this building, but it looks like the elevator is on the fritz, and whoever you last stepped into it with will be your companion for the next who-knows-how-long. Hopefully they're not a murderer. Have fun!

Directions:
1. Post a TL, blank or with a starter, with your character name and canon in the subject line.
2. Tag around to other TLs!
3. Have fun, be respectful, follow typical DWRP rules.
4. Spread the word if you feel so inclined so more can join in on the fun!

So the elevator's messing with you. [Kunimi's eyebrows shoot up when Ronan has that little fit of temper, but he quickly returns to his usual impassive look.] Hard to blame it.

[solidumsomnia]

Will you shut it?

[Muttering now as he tries to press the "door open" button to no avail.] Goddammit. What the hell is with this thing?

[Ronan's bad moods come on quick, and quicker when he was already in one to begin with. Quicker still when he feels stuck with nowhere to let out that anxious, angry energy. This sucks.

[He turns to Kunimi.] Get out your phone. You got service? [Elevators - not great for phone service. But he wouldn't know because he left his in the center console of his car.]

[kunimeh]

[Watching Ronan work himself into a rage is no great joy either, but Kunimi figures that all he can do is keep the one level head in their stalled elevator. Or whatever's going on here.]

Phones don't usually - no, you know what... [Ronan won't believe it until he sees it, so Kunimi just fishes out his phone and holds it up for Ronan to see. No bars, no data, no wifi.] - see? Nothing.

[With a slight frown, he reaches past Ronan to try the emergency button - nothing. Even the light behind the buttons is out. They've still got overhead light, but if this building has a generator to keep the basics going -]

Kuso...

[Kunimi slumps back against the wall. They're probably caught in a power outage.]

[solidumsomnia]

Fan-fucking-tastic. [This is said in a snarl, and then Ronan very helpfully jams his foot against the doors again. It hurts a little, but that's not the point. Then he slams his own back against the wall and crosses his arms over his chest, glaring at nothing in particular - it's just that Kunimi happens to be in his line of vision.]

Okay. Kuso. What's kuso? If you're going to swear, at least share the fucking wealth.

Jesus.

[kunimeh]

[Something about Ronan's demand to have any swear words translated for his benefit takes his rage from unsettling to hilarious; Kunimi casually turns away to try and smother his laughter but it sputters out before he gets the chance.]

You are so... extra sometimes. [That's an expression he's suddenly very glad to have picked up from classmates, because no other would do for Ronan.] I don't think swearing translates very well, but it always means the same thing, doesn't it? Try it again - kuso.

[solidumsomnia]

Well, fuckin' try anyway, kuso.
