6TH ☄ s h o o t i n g s t a r ☄ w r i t t e n

[magicalesbian]

[Hello, Luceti. Have you been enjoying the strange little time shifts that have been coming and going these past couple of months? Because Kari hasn't. In fact, she's in the middle of one right now, and it's extremely unpleasant. Why is that, you ask?]

[Because she was just inside the elevator when they suddenly decided to not exist anymore. Unfortunately, they only decided to stop existing on the floor she was on at the time, so there's nowhere for her to go. At least it didn't turn into a bottomless elevator shaft to drop her to her doom. But they did turn into some kind of hellish stairway-purgatory with no doors, no windows, and nothing but two sets of stairs going up and down that simply lead to walls.]

[Thankfully, she has her journal with her to live-blog the incident.]

It's been 20 minutes now.
I'm stuck in a building somewhere. Like, literally. The elevator disappeared and now I'm apparently stuck in the wall.
The possibility of escape seems low.
Updates to follow.

The first hour.
There's no windows in here. Not sure how much air I have. Probably a lot.
It's cold. And hot. I'm so hungry.
And I think I left some instant noodles in the microwave.

Hour 2 of Elevator Purgatory.
I'm starting to hear voices.
No, seriously, these walls are way too thin. Maybe if I knock loud enough the people on this floor will start to think the place is haunted?
I'm like this close to trying to break the wall down.

Hour 2 and 10 minutes.
Don't try to punch walls with your bare hands.
Especially using the arm you broke few weeks ago.
It will hurt and you will feel like a dumbass.

Hour 3.
All hope is lost.
I've resigned myself to Elevator Purgatory forever.
Tell my mom I love her.

[Okay she's clearly being a little overly dramatic. But she's bored, and this doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon, so have at it! Feel free to specify what time your character is responding to, otherwise I'll just assume Hour 3. EDIT: And for people who might try teleporting in to save her, there's also a 100% power-cap shift going on inside the room, so anyone who goes in will be stuck with her until the time shift ends!]

First dibs on your soul.

[magicalesbian]

Do you make it your personal mission to be the creepiest guy in Luceti or something??

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

Unless someone else already has first dibs? I suppose it's possible. I wouldn't think most people are interested.

[written]

[magicalesbian]

You're so weird.

[Well, at least he isn't stuck here with her or anything. She can close the journal anytime she wants!!]

[......and then have nothing to do but stare at the wall. Damnit.]

My soul is off-limits, got it? Who knows what would happen if a creepy guy like you tried to take the soul of a pure and innocent maiden like myself.

[written]

[neverplaysfair]

It would probably be about the same as if I tried to take the soul of most anyone else. Unless there was more to it than just that.

[ Like you know, that spirit of hers. ]

After all, purity and innocence are products of society more than anything else.

[Okay, so she's writing so there's probably no injury or anything, but geeze, stuck in a wall?]

Hey, you okay? No injuries or anything?

[magicalesbian]

[It wasn't very often that Kari got the chance to speak with people she already knew as if she didn't know them. But really, living in a village as small as Luceti, it was bound to happen eventually. And seeing as Ginia only knows Hoshikyo, this will be one of those times.]

More or less. My hand still smarts a little, but that was my own fault.

At least there's still a light in here. But I probably shouldn't jinx myself.

[Bound to happen sooner or later, while not when someone is suck inside a wall?]

What building are you in? Can you hear anyone on the other side of the wall?

[Written]

[magicalesbian]

The Heart Building. And I can hear people above and below me, but I'm not sure what floor I'm on.

How terribly tragic for you. I suppose you are stuck until the temporal shift returns.

[In the mean time he'll just be sort of laughing at you]

Written

[magicalesbian]

Those are some excellent deduction skills you've got there, Sherlock.

Any ideas on how long it'll last? I've had this happen before and it never lasted more than an hour. This is just getting ridiculous!

Written

[that_is_asecret]

I have no idea who this Sherlock is, my name is Xellos.

Oh, well from what I have witnessed, it shouldn't last more than a day. Though I am more accustomed to time within the barrier lasting considerably longer within, though there is usually someone controlling. An effect without someone without direct control will obvious have different variables.

[magicalesbian]

A day!? I can't spend a day in here! I don't care if the place is carpeted, it's practically like a jail cell as it is!

[Kurt of course discovers this message three hours late. He'll take some time to laugh it off.]

It sounds like you could use a helping hand.

[Voice]

[magicalesbian]

[Flatly:] Oh no. Not at all. I love being stuck in walls like this for hours on end. Totally my favorite past-time in Luceti.

[Voice]

[wildbluevagner]

You don't say. It sounds like it's really growing on you; you could even see you're becoming a real wallflower.

[Voice]

[magicalesbian]

...that was terrible.

[Puns are totally offensive, man.]

[voice]

[onifukuchou]

Always stupid to try and punch through a wall. Throwing a shoulder against it would probably be better, if you have the space?

Where are you? It's probably easier for some to break you out.

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

I'll keep that in mind next time I decide to hulk-out and punch through a wall.

[She really hopes there isn't a next time though.]

And I only really know I'm in the Heart building. I don't know which floor the elevator stopped being an elevator on, but I can hear voices above and below me, so I might be stuck between floors.

[voice]

[onifukuchou]

Hmm. That makes it a little more complicated - you've tried banging to see if anyone hears you?

[OOC: did you want a rescue, or got it sorted?]

[voice]

[magicalesbian]

What do you think I've spent the past three hours doing? Twiddling my thumbs and waiting for the hallway to just magically turn back into an elevator?

Either the walls here are too thick, or the people of Luceti are just too accustomed to the sounds of crazy people yelling to notice.

[ooc: Rescues are fine! I'm just going with multiple timelines here. But that also hinges on whether Kari cooperates with offers for help or not since she's kind of a brat.]

[Rei sees this and can't help but smirk. Okay, so she's a little mean-spirited at times.]

Y'know...we can all see this, right Kari-chan?

[Video]

[magicalesbian]

Well, yeah, of course! [With a dramatic voice:] I mean, how else could I properly document the tragedy of a poor girl locked away in a carpeted prison cell at such a tender age as this!?

[The concept of live-blogging might be a little after Rei's time.]

[Video]

[faithfulflame]

You could always just ask for help getting out.

[Honestly, it really, really is. By a decade or more.]

Which...building are you in?

[Video]

[magicalesbian]

I kinda figured it was implied. [Unless there are people who thought she really enjoyed being trapped here -- and if that's the case, they've got a whole different problem here.]

And I'm in the Heart Building. I was just on my way back up to my place when I got stuck here. Not really sure which floor it stopped on, but probably near the middle.
