YO KRY NO PKMN OUT | people usually had crazy business at the sky tower- either running them or ending them, or starting them. business was a prominent theme, and almost everyone welcomed here was either a high porfile customer or a high profile client. or a tourist, really. regardless most people that had the luxury of having fun and exploring were usually dressed to the nines. surprisingly, ana didn't go out of her way to make herself an exception to the rule. she was dressed in her forensic get up because she was on a mission. there had been a case of breaking and entering in some higher floor of the tower, and they wanted a specialist on the case. ana wasn't the specialist, of course (other wise she'd have gotten to ride in the cool ranger van) -- she was the specialist's assistant. and so she carried herself with the all the dignity of a part time intern, wearing her fancy labcoat and all but still with the sort of giddy excitement that uncontrollably radiated from her. she was on the elevator, and while she did consider herself to be the most forward and uninhibited of all people she knew, she didn't just talk to strangers on elevators. because it seemed pointless. and besides, her mind was already fantasizing about the new case so there was no point in distracting herself by talking to someone else. she practically swayed forward and back, her weight shifting from her heels to the sole of her foot and back. and then the elevator lurched and came to a sudden, grinding halt that had anastasia floored. she was backed into a corner, confused eyes staring at the only other occupant of the elevator. she was confused because this didn't feel real. elevators got jammed only in movies, right?

SHARP AS STEEL. STOP FOR NO MAN. YOU'D BETTER BEG AND KNEEL. The source of the recent break ins ash the sky tower was a lot closer then the specialists assistant would of thought. In fact he was the other occupant of the elevator. Aubrey had recently taken to breaking into some of the things higher up on the sky towers floors.
He barely even kept any of the things he stole, instead just selling the items off to people or pawn shops. After all they had so much stuff sitting around they probably didn't need it, right? Plus Aubrey needed the money, to pay his parents back for all the prosthetic arms they had to buy him.
The reason he was in the elevator was a simple one, he was coming to scope out some more places to rob. He did a pretty good job of blending in so far, being dressed in a nice black suit and wearing a globe to conceal his metal hand Aubrey practically looked like he owned the damn place.
As the elevator suddenly lurched to a stop the blonde would stumble forward slightly, only to then groan loudly. "Are you serious?" He said more to himself then the women in the elevator with him. After the little outburst he'd head over to the elevator door, knocking on it with his metallic hand. "Hello, anyone out there?"

YO KRY NO PKMN OUT | ana felt her stomach lurch at the possibility, the very probable possibility that she could die here, stuck without oxygen and fresh air. stuck with some stranger, doomed to a long and painful fate. or that the wires supporting this thing could be stuck and she'd die. something ironically more messy, but still cleaner probably in terms of pain. all sorts of endless possibilities snuck in, each agonizing detail leading to some horrific form of death or something even worse. it was only when she heard the sound of metal on metal and a loud, daring voice that ana snapped out of her self-made little loop of doom and looked around her. small. the space was small. that was okay. she wasn't claustrophobic. she probably wasn't. at least, she wasn't yet. she sucked in a deep breath and rolled her eyes. "yes there are people just outside the door, listening in. they'll definitely hear you," she snarked dryly, drawing attention to the fact that they could still be in a shaft and far away from human intervention. she waited for the man to inevitably turn to face her before giving him a triumphant, mischievous smile. "so, two people along in an elevator~" she did that wave with her eyebrows (something she regarded as one of her foremost accomplishments to this date) before bursting out laughing at her own terrible sense of humor. that one made her inner self sigh in disappointment. "i'm sorry," she said in between breaths. "that was a joke." sometimes, people needed it spelled out. because jokes were often far better than reality. she dropped her voice to a more practical sound just above a whisper and spoke again. "do you have any ideas? other than waiting until our eventual demise? because i don't know about you but i'd hate for my only lasting contribution to science to be improving elevator safety."maybe that was a tad too melodramatic.

SHARP AS STEEL. STOP FOR NO MAN. YOU'D BETTER BEG AND KNEEL. This was just perfect, not only was he trapped in an elevator with some stranger, the stranger also seemed to have a healthy dose of sarcasm to dish out. "Maybe we were stuck close enough to the doors for the next floor or something, I mean it was worth a shot." Aubrey blurted out as he went closer to the Elevator door, just trying to get a better look at it. Even though it was after all just a door. On the bright side at least Aubrey wasn't claustrophobic either, if anything he was just more annoyed that they were stuck here then anything. Not mad or afraid or anything else just mildly annoyed at the inconvenience.
After the other person in the elevator blurted out the little line about them being alone Aubrey couldn't help but let out a laugh as he turned around to look at the women. "Well...I certainly wouldn't mind~" He said with another small laugh as he nodded his head at her. He was partially telling the truth, of course he wouldn't be that forward if it wasn't just jokey but she was kind of cute after all. Maybe being stuck in this elevator with her wouldn't be so bad after all.
"Hmm well...don't these things usually have like a hatch on the ceiling or something for the maintenance crew to come in and out through. Or like an emergency button?" He said as he turned back to check out the floor buttons on the elevator panel, looking for said emergency button. "With as fancy as this place is the elevator should have one, if not I could like give you a boost up through that hatch?"
