[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.

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

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

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.

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.

...

You know, sometimes it's hard to tell whether you're being serious or not.

[He's talking about taking souls like most people would about buying milk at the store.]

[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?

[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?

Of course I'm not being serious. The dead always come back to life in this world. What good is collecting a soul only to lose it a week later?

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]

[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.

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.

What do you even need souls for anyway? You some kind of gay reaper or something?

[Cause there's certainly not much grim about him, as far as she can see.]

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

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!

[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.

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.

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?]

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

Of the two, "or something" would probably be the closer option. [ "Gay reaper" is slightly dated by about a century ]

Out of pure curiosity, what sort of instant noodles were you heating up?

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.

[Once again, she's not sure how to take that statement there... but whatever. Subject change is go!]

Kitsune udon. Not as good as the fresh stuff, but it tastes like home.

Of course, by the time I get out of here, they'll probably be a soggy mess. Such a waste.

[Ughhh now she's getting hungry thinking about it.]

...that was terrible.

[Puns are totally offensive, man.]

[Sigh.]

How about I just skip ahead to rescuing you?
