witchesreign | ITP, the Janitor is IGNORED

[Hey.

Hey Garden.

Guess what.

You're now trapped in the elevator.

Maybe you were too lazy to take the stairs; maybe you just needed to get somewhere and this was the quickest way from A to B, despite the janitor's warnings (and the signs on every floor).

Whatever the reason, it's too late! You're stuck in here. The lights are out, none of the buttons are working (or maybe they're jammed?), and it's unlikely you'd be able to pry open the doors — this elevator is one sturdy son of a gun, and between floors, there's nowhere to go.

Anyway... who's that with you?]

(OOC: Garden's undergoing maintenance and construction now that it's docked at Fisherman's Horizon, and now the elevator is out to get you.

Anyway, this will work like a meme!

1) Tag in with your character, one per comment. Others will respond.

Characters responding can roll the RNG to get a date and time! Already see something you can work with? Go for it!
DATE
1 - weekday
2 - weekend

TIME
1 - early morning
2 - peak hour [right before/after classes/lunch; your call!]
3 - between classes
4 - dead of the night
If using the RNG, put your results in the comment title so that your threadmate knows what they're working with — alternatively, if there are options in the RNG that are completely unlikely for your character, make sure you specify what they are so that you get a scenario that you can handle.

Trapped outside of curfew? Beware the Disciplinary Committee.

2) Are you crowded against the wall? Is there only one person with you? What if you're forever alone? React accordingly! Make sure you work things out with each other if your thread is going to have more than two people in it.

Note that getting out through the ceiling hatches may not end well. No telling when the elevator will mysteriously fix itself, after all.

Please don't cling to your castmates; this event is to help foster CR that would otherwise never happen!

Also, a big thank you to the mods for approving this ♥)

The genetic engineering of myself and my friends is relatively harmless. I prefer to focus my abilities on the oncoming threat, which I deem much greater.

Seems like a common goal for some. Exactly which threat are you referring to?

If allowed to run unchecked, when my friends and I return to our home universe we'll be killed before the day is over. The mechanics which allowed us to be saved from the destruction of earth have deemed our session barren, which cannot be allowed to continue.

[ Just when he was starting to tolerate and partially even understand her. You had to pull this crap out and confuse the shit out of him even more. ]

And you're certain your experimentation will allow you to succeed at that?

What I'm doing to prevent our fate from occurring has nothing to do with experiments. I'm going to acquire the power needed to break the infrastructure apart.

How exactly do you plan on gaining that power? Abilities like that simply aren't so widespread as you make it seem.

By arriving here so far back on the timeline I've been able to collect information about my future that I intend to carry back and use to my advantage. Barring the success of that plan, I'm going to make a deal with a mostly uninvolved third party.

Last I've heard back on Earth, there's no one of that ability, so you're probably better off hoping you gain some mutant capabilities and saving yourself that way.

The party I'm referring to has no relation with Earth. This is where the actual magic comes into play.

[ magic. after all of this, it's still magic. ]

As long as that satisfies you and you hold yourself to some accomplishment.

It's not an accomplishment until I win.

How nice to see we're finally on the same page.

I thought that given the consequences of failure it would be fairly obvious.

A little clarification doesn't hurt however.

I suppose not, although I'm sure by now you've noticed that my real skills lie in being maddeningly obtuse.

I'm not sure I would consider that a skill, but merely an attribute of your personality.

I've honed it into a skill, taking it far beyond where it originally lay as a natural talent.

[ Suuuuuuuuuuuuure. ]

As long as it helps you sleep at night, you can call it whatever you want.

That's the second time in this conversation you've brought up concern over my sleep patterns. Should I be worried about this apparent fixation?

It's a figure of speech. Don't try to think too hard about it.

I try not to unless it's being pounded into my skull repeatedly over the course of a few minutes. Don't you know any other tired turns of phrase?

Perhaps I'm saving them for someone a tad more reliable than you.

More reliable than a flighty broad? Not possible.

Referring to yourself as that?

Well, there's the only two of us around. Somehow I don't think you'd quite fit the bill.
