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

[Cause there's certainly not much grim about him, as far as she can see.]
[written]
Out of pure curiosity, what sort of instant noodles were you heating up?
[written]
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.]
[written]
[written]
Why?
[He's not offering to come save her, is he?]
[written]
[written]
[Even more suspicious!! But her name would totally be written on the directory on the ground floor if he went to check.]
[written]
[Voice]
[And then she just switches to voice because her hunger is outweighing her irritation for Joshua right now.]
Room 40. And don't even think about going anywhere except the kitchen.
[She's gonna have to move now, huh.]
[Voice]
I wouldn't dream of it, hee hee.
[ But that's all she'll hear from him for several minutes. Mostly because he's making sure he gets the right room, rather than teleporting in on any old room and just dropping the information that he can do that on any random person.
And then it takes him a little bit to locate where in the wall she's likely to be.
But suddenly there's a Joshua in the room with her, announcing himself with a loud slurp of noodles. There's already a couple decent-size bites taken out of the tofu. ]
Good news! The sogginess didn't ruin the flavor whatsoever.
[Action]
My udon! [ANGRY POUTING.] Give me that! Do you have any idea how long I've been stuck in here now without any food!?
[Action]
[ He holds it out for her, though, but not before nabbing one of the more eaten tofu bits with his chopsticks for himself. ]
[Action]
Just about, yeah. You didn't just come in here to steal my food, did you?
[Action]
[Action]
[Look how grateful she is!]
[Action]
Why, I'm honored. I dislike the effort it takes to bring someone else along with me, but since we're just teleporting to the other side of this wall...
[ ... that's not suppose to happen. ]
... Hmm.
[Action]
[That sounded vaguely ominous.]
[Action]
Joshua walks over to the wall and places his hand on it. After a moment, he starts walking along it (and away from Kari), running his hand over it until he finally reaches a corner.
No dice. ]
You didn't mention the powers Shift.
[Action]
[As someone whose magic only works when she activates it by transforming, it's no wonder she didn't notice it herself. ]
[Action]
[ He keeps walking, this time heading towards the furthest corner from her. He's not expecting to find the edge of it but dammit he can try. ]
The kind that cancels out supernatural powers.
[Action]
[Oh. Oh no. The reality of just what that means is starting to sink in. She takes a few steps back.]
...please tell me you're joking.
[Action]
[ Meanwhile he'll just settle back in this corner and make himself comfortable. ]
Did you really not think to check?
[Action]
[...she thinks so, at least. But then, it's also never lasted more than a hour. So that alone was pretty strange.]
