[open, network and action]

Trying not to repeat what everyone else has said, but this place is a nightmare. I turn around and the door I just went through disappears. I'm in a hall way, somewhere, and at least this time nothing is going on, but it's still a bit annoying to just walk and walk and get no where. Someone talk to me?

Rikki, if you're hearing this, I hope you're okay. I tried following you through that door but it just wouldn't open.



To anyone who wants to run into him though, he is literally walking down a long hall way, alone, bored, and looking for a door out of here. If you happen to open a door on his hall way, hold it open for him, yeah?

He's in black suit with the jacket off and in his hands. Dark hair is well combed and in place still, but he looks tired. Looks uncomfortable. Ben's been walking for a while. He's looking for Rikki still, or just a open damn door. Hopefully one that doesn't led to pool again. He's been there at least once.

Ben's not dead here. Not a ghost. He's physical and alive and tired. He's not felt tired in ages. Or temperature either, and he was feeling over heated right now. Worn out at least. He's sure this hall way was ramping up the heat too. But he walked, looking back once in a while, or even wandering back and checking floor and ceiling for doors as well as walls. But nothing. It was like it was doing it's best to keep him separated from others.

{ooc: open to [action] or "prose"]. Take your pick!}

[(unwittingly) VOICE RESPONSE;]

( Sorry about your ears, anyone who happens to be listening. Rikki isn't typically a screamer, but she's also not typically trapped in a falling elevator.

The sound of panting and a thud, then scrambling, and finally an innocent ding of the elevator before its doors close again can be heard. )


Fucking...hell...

( Audio cuts off. )

[TEXT;]

I hate this place.

I was going to say, I don't believe that for a second.

[BEN.]
I guess, yeah. Assuming any of us can find one another.

( Currently, she's blissfully unaware and thinks that humiliating spike of fear manifesting in probably the girliest scream she's ever managed to emit was a moment of private embarrassment, so...enjoy shattering her dreams. )

What was what? I'm fine.

[BEN.]
Oh, I'm sure we'll be science experiments in a minute if we don't find our way out. Maybe we already are science experiments, actually...

And exactly, that's why getting us all in one room could just as easily be the worst idea as it could be the best one.

( Well shit... )

I'm fine. Just...scared me is all. The elevator. And I didn't put it on audio. I dunno how that happened if you heard that, but I didn't do it.

[BEN]
Yeah, well...I'll burn this stupid house down around us if I have to. I'm not a lab rat.
They'll be sorry if I ever find out who they are.

That's a point... Let's just find one another first, yeah?
justaddh2o: (annoyed)

[personal profile] justaddh2o 2019-06-21 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't, then.

( It happened, but if he doesn't want her to tell him that it did, then she's happy to take that literally even though it's clear he doesn't mean it that way. )

...brilliant.

[BEN]
Well, it's not my first choice, obviously. But I'm also not above it if there's no other options.

No... I suppose I should start moving to see if I can eventually hear it, though, yeah? Keep doing it.

Just...I wouldn't recommend the elevator for future use. I'm sure I'm okay, Ben.

[BEN]
Oh hold on, I think I heard that, mate. Unless that's someone else.

Yeah, I heard that. Three times. ...on the ceiling, though I doubt you're knocking on the floor, are you?

BEN AND RIKKI

[personal profile] justaddh2o 2019-06-30 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
...great, well. Then that's not you and I'm going to keep looking.

Unless it is you and this place is just bending sound now. My brain hurts.
