℗ oo1. an elevator teeming with confusion

[quits]

[There's a redhead in the elevator. Barefoot and standing there wondering when ...]

Phil...? [She turns to look at Phil, but he's not there and the floors have definitely been reduced and renumbered. Plus, the elevator has changed and there's a book on the floor.]

Well, that's not right. [She goes to press the button for the lobby. The doors open and - oh. Nope.]

Clearly, something has gone wrong. Tony? [Where is the call box?] Okay, it's funny, but really what's going on? Is this payback for the elevator thing, because you know that wasn't really my fault. [Seriously. Where is the penthouse button on this thing and how did he manage to build an entire floor that looks like a castle without her remembering it?]



((ooc: step onto the elevator! talk to her through the journal on the floor! All she wants to say is FIRST to Tony!))

[A young Japanese schoolgirl steps in, offering a smile and a gentle nod to the redhead before hitting "6," then moving to the rear of the chamber with her back against the wall.]

Dictated forever

[onlyanapple]

[Well, well, there's a voice he hasn't heard in a long while. It's almost enough to pull him out of his funk]

Pepper? That you?

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny steps into the elevator and eyes her bare feet with some confusion.]

Miss? Are you okay?

Action

[compromisedarrow]

[Looking up as the elevator pings into the lobby from his spot on the couch. Yes, he's reading an archery magazine.

And he stares.]

Hey! [Standing up and sticking his arm in the door to stop them closing.]

You're Miss Potts, right? Miss Viriginia Potts? Stark's assistant?

[sexyhitchhiker]

[and here's a teenage girl walking in, a set of headphones around her neck and a husky at her side. She doesn't give the woman a second look until the dog is straining against the leash, trying to get a better sniff at this New Person.]

Blitz, get back here. [and all he does is wag his tail. Natsuki sighs and keeps a firmer grip on the leash. At least he can't jump you and lick your face.]

[valuedstrength]

[Steve is stepping into the elevator at least until he takes a look at who is inside. She looks pretty agitated so Steve thinks it might be best to take stairs and give her some space. He nods politely at Pepper and turns to go.]

Sorry, ma'am. I'll catch the next one.

[Then there's Spike, who also lives here and tends to use the elevator from time to time. Especially since he doesn't trust that his leg won't re-injure itself when whatever magic was used on it wears off. No need to push it.

He notices the women inside, and her bare feet, but doesn't say anything. Just pushes a button and hangs back.]

[Phoenix is marching past the elevator doors when they open, and he glances over, just mildly curious as to its occupants. When he sees Pepper, he stops and waves with a smile.]

Hi! I haven't seen you around before.

[mrbigshotarrow]

[He rushes to the elevator; if he doesn't make it, he'll have to take the stairs. And that's just not fun if you have someone else to do it for you.]

Hold it hold it hold it!
