Video | 002 | Back Dated to May 19th

[The video comes on, revealing a very unsteady view of what appears to be the inside of an elevator shaft. As the video comes into focus again, it centers on one Lance--and the back of Keith's head. Lance is in blue, Keith in red.]

Hey everyone. I'm Lance--[The video shifts enough to catch Keith's profile. A scowl clearly present--achieving the angle for this shot is probably not comfortable. It shifts again to highlight the fact that they are in fact climbing up the elevator shaft ala Emperor's New Groove...just with actual clothing on.]And this is Keith...Welcome to Jackass.

Lance are you serious? Put that away you need both your hands for this!

[The feed pans back to Lance, an amused and easy going grin present on his face.] Lighten up Keith! We're perfectly--[And that statement is cut off by a sudden slip in footing.] Okay we were perfectly balanced...

[Keith groans, and leans his head back against Lance's.] Look we're not going to get out of the elevator shaft if you don't stop filming and put that away.

All right all right...[Lance takes a glance over his shoulder before pulling the camera in close, taking the chance to stage whisper.] For the record--Keith's the real jackass...

LANCE! [The feed finally goes dead, either from a hasty attempt on Lance's part, or Keith finally managing to make a grab for it--it's a mystery.]

If I don't get a response back to this within an hour, I'm going to assume you both died.

But in the event you're not dead and are checking your messages when you should be focusing on climbing...tell me where you are. I can fly you both out of there.

I appreciate it but I think we're fine. We managed to find an emergency hatch to another floor.

Though flight must be a nice super power to have.

Glad to hear it.

It's pretty great actually. [He's not even going to pretend to be modest about it.]

Being stuck in elevators isn't something I really have to worry about at least.

I can imagine. Though I prefer to pilot something rather then flying myself. [Though if he was honest, that would solve any issue if the vehicle failed.

That's what jet packs are for.]

I never thought I'd get stuck in two in my life time.

Something like what? A plane?

This has happened before?

[He doesn't even bother to stifle his laughter. What horrible luck.]

A plane would be nice. Currently piloting a giant mechanical lion which is a little strange now that I'm saying it out loud.

Yeah. Once before. There wasn't an emergency phone.

A giant mechanical lion? [He raises a brow.] This I have got to see.

Ever think that the elevators are conspiring against you? Twice is a coincidence, but if it happens a third time...

Wow, that's some discipline. [ Lil' Chico is very impressed by this circus performance in front of him. ] How far will you two fall if you slip?

[ You know, just curious. ]

Yeah, we've done this before. [He rethinks that statement for a moment.] We don't make a habit of it.

...And uhhh...A don't know about two stories? Maybe more...

Oh! Alright, so you wouldn't die. That's good. [ Then he considers something else the guy had previously said. ] You two seem to work well, even if he is a "jackass."

Maybe a broken bone or two, but yeah pretty good to not die. [He's quiet for once as he considers what the kid just said.] We're a pretty good team, yeah...we just get at each other's throats sometimes.

[He's not going to mention that he normally starts their stupid fights.]

He's not all bad, I guess...

[Hums something particularly like an off-brand Mission Impossible theme]

[Seriously, though- that looks like fun!] And what are you crazy kids sneaking around an elevator shaft for?

[His reply starts with laughter.] Escaping. Some crazy chick trapped us in there...

Oh? [Sounds a little disappointed.] Man, and here I thought this was some bragging rights footage from some kinda stealth infiltration. [No, Duo; only you did those.]

What's the story with 'crazy chick'? Anyone else trapped over there?

I wish it was something that cool, but we left that kind of stuff in space...I mean we haven't really been on any missions since coming here. [Space, robots, intergalactic war--you two could have a lot to talk about you know.]

...Some girl came over the speaker saying she trapped us in here. I don't know if anyone else is stuck, there's only one other elevator in this building and the place was kind of empty...

..Space, huh? [Interesting- was he from that universe that the other non-Earth Sphere-origin humans had come from? And if there was talk at missions, he must be military, or some manner of militant.] Heh, I suppose you wouldn't be familiar with the colonies...?

[He can try, anyway. It was certainly unlikely- but in the extremely slim chance this person was from his own world, there was about as good of a chance of them being friendly towards a former Gundam pilot as being an enemy.]

Jeez... Amateur hour for wannabe villains? Well, I'm sure someone Registered can handle that. Not really my specialty... But you hear of anyone else that needs to escape, that I can do.

We didn't get to the whole colonizing bit when we ended up...lost--Yeah you could call it lost. [Easier to call it that than to explain how they were all kidnapped by a robot lion.]

If we could find her again, we would...But uh, I'll let you know if we hear of anyone else trapped. So far we haven't heard anything, so hopefully that's a good sign...

Lost... What, you end up in another galaxy, or something? [Well, the lion part is a little weird, but probably he'll just make a vague Trowa joke.] Guess it was too good to be true- another pre-colony universe. Ah, well.

I'll keep my ears open. [Mm, yeah, he's curious:] --You said missions. You a soldier?

Actually...yeah, that's pretty much what happened. [Worm holes are a thing, and they suck.] So...colonies are part of the norm where you're from??

...And uh--I was in training to be one back on earth. I guess I could be considered one now. We're called paladins though...

Oh. Damn, that sucks. [For all the technology that nutcases had developed over time in the Earth Sphere, at least 'thing that teleports you across the universe' wasn't among them. Sheesh.] Yeah, no one else I meet here ever knows what the hell I'm talking about, but there are colony clusters all around the Earth Sphere, where I come from. So I'm pretty familiar with space travel, myself. [Not to mention Martian colonization.]

[A 'paladin', huh? World-specific jargon, no doubt. But hey, space and soldiering is two for two on relevancy, so he might as well see if there isn't more.] Some manner of... special forces? Heh, no wonder you can crawl yourself out of an elevator shaft, then.

Yeah, tell me about it. Had a shock when I got ported here for...so many reasons because of that. [Seriously, it was hard to remind himself that his family wasn't on this Earth either. It kind of...really sucked.] But hey, different realities, similar experiences. Kind of wild when you think about it.

...Special Forces is a...word for it. I mean it's the best description for it so far. Uh...the elevator shaft escape route comes from experience. This isn't the first time we've ended up stuck in one--I'm starting to think elevators have it out for me.

Heh, first time I came to Earth was a pretty big shock, too. ...Although, I was kinda busy at the time, so I didn't have too much time to be starry-eyed over it.... [On account of the constant fighting and running and hiding.]

[That's an interesting reaction. Whatever this paladin thing was sounded like it wasn't your typical military complement.] Oh, crap luck, huh? I feel ya, buddy. So you were open-space forces, or on a base? I've met other humans from space before- other than my own world, I mean, but most of them don't seem to be familiar with Earth for some reason. Color me curious.

... You guys know there's an emergency phone in the elevator, right?

Yeah.

[Slight pause. He didn't actually think about the phone when this whole thing started ]

I guess I was thinking of the elevator in the castle. No emergency phone in there.

Sure, but...

You guys made a post here. You could've just called the fire department first thing. [ ANYWAY. Not important. ] Did you guys make it up already, or...?

We made it up. We only had to go up a floor or two to try find an emergency exit. It's.. not so bad at least?

I'm already over it. We're going to grab lunch.

Ooh. What're you gonna get?

I don't know what's around here. Lance said he had a great idea.

Which could be a very, very bad one.

Eh. Lance isn't that discerning, but it's hard to mess up lunch, especially if you're going out somewhere.

Let me know where you're at, and I'll lay out some recommendations. If you want, that is.

It's Lance. I'm sure it's not that hard to mess up lunch.

I'll let you know when we get there. He's looking for something but won't tell me what.

Should I be worried?

I mean, the last time I followed Lance's lead on an evening out, we ultimately got abducted, so...

Shit.

Well it was nice knowing you, Hunk.

Godspeed, my man.

Well, now that you're here to bring it up...

Yeah we uh--we obviously didn't think of that, man.

You guys are officially not allowed to leave home without supervision.

That's just rude, Hunk.

We're alive. That has to count for something.

Living through a bad decision doesn't make it any less bad.

I beg to differ.

Especially since it wasn't a bad decision to start with.

The elevator as a whole? Or the elevator shaft situation?

Uh...both? Both is good.

Though I'm starting to think elevators have it out for me man. Like that's some serious bad luck right there.
