Elevator Again...
manipulativebookmark:
Tsukishima followed the small black-haired female onto the elevator, not really paying her much attention. Her type usually broke too easily, and were generally overly emotional, which made her predictable as well. It really wasn’t much fun or worth the energy to play with her, and so he ignored the slim figure next to him as the elevator climbed.
The sudden sound of protesting metal and a jarring stop were unexpected to Tsukishima’s mind, but he kept the surprise from his face. He straightened from the halfway hunched position the sudden stop had forced him into. The lights flickered, making him glance up as the lights settled on a rather pleasant dimness.He wasn’t too worried about the situations; Tsukishima was certain someone would be along soon to help them. In the meantime, he’d just examine the elevator a bit and see if he couldn’t somehow find a way out.
His thoughts were interrupted by a female voice coming from beside him. Tsukishima glanced over and down to the small figure beside him, tilting his head curiously at the female. Perhaps she could entertain him while they waited for rescue, although he was reluctant to really bother. Then again, sometimes people surprised him. Not usually, but occasionally. ”Of course. And you?”
This was the second time in counting of the girl being stuck inside such a contraption. Not only was it uncomfortable, but it was the same building as the first time. She couldn't help but seem annoyed just in the slightest as she inquired after his well being. She was sure now that she was never going to be getting on another elevator for a long time, as she had already suffered this traumatizing event twice. "I'm alright." Her reply was dipole and empty, as if much more preoccupied with what was going on in her head. Analyzing, calculating, figuring what it was that was different about this situation than her first time stuck in one of these parallel, moving boxes.
Straightening herself up, she walked over to the control panel of the elevator, examining the buttons. It seems all the buttons in this building are useless... As just her luck, the emergency buttons on this elevator were also faulty as in comparison to the first elevator she had been on. She already had researched twice before how to handle this situation, mainly just out of being the type of person to google search their fears. She appeared to be timid, but once given a purpose or task, her face hardened, brows furrowed, just as they did now to look around. "I'm sorry... Especially if you had someplace to get to. The elevators in this building aren't exactly the top of the class when it comes to safety- this is the second time I've been stuck in one recently." Hinamori dipped her head in an apologetic bow, as if it were somehow her fault this was happening.
