h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Cheap muzak oozes out of a speaker in the maintenance elevator, with buttons showing floors 1 through 10*

FLOOR MARKER - 2

*Steps into the elevator and turns to face the panel*

Hmmmmm. Level 2. Hmmmmm. That either means I'm on the second floor above ground, or the second floor below ground. Since we didn't see any buildings around here, I'll assume it's the second floor below ground. That would mean I just have to hit the 1 button to get up and out of this place.

*Oreo's finger reaches towards the 1 button and pauses in mid-air.*

On the other hand, the ground floor is the floor most likely to have guards or something. Maybe there's another way out of here - a back door, so to speak. And that is most likely in the most unlikeliest place. Hmmmmm.

*Oreo reaches out and pushes the 10 button.*

*The doors close just as SLR (surprisingly behind Oreo somehow) begins to sing along with the elevator music*

WAAAAAAAAAA!

*Whirls around*

Where did you come from?

*Oreo shrugs and points down, fairly appropriate as the elevator seems to be rising*

*SLR shrugs and points down, fairly appropriate as the elevator seems to be rising*


Sorry if you get the incorrect version of this post.

Oreo: Hey! We're rising! I expected to go down. Maybe we're nowhere near where we landed. Maybe we're in a big building somewhere. Maybe we're inside a mountain or something. Maybe pushing the 10 was a mistake.

FLOOR MARKER - 10

*The doors open to F1881348?thread=504638 and whatever lies therein*
