(Just a little side note, here are the Toons that are in this elevator run: Astro, Sprout, Vee, Pebble, Gigi, Glisten, Cosmo, and Shelly. Feel free to be one of these Toons or an OC in this RP! No one will ever suspect there are nine people in this group, ehehe.)

All the Toons were in the elevator, or so they thought. The elevator somehow knows and always knew when everyone had entered, and would close as if on command. Though, when Pebble, the presumed last Toon had bounded inside, the door didn't budge.

Astro was several metres away from the elevator. No one had seemed to notice him yet. He was slumped against some crates, breathing hard and slightly shaking. Out of energy. How ironic for the Toon that can regenerate other Toons' stamina. He wrapped his blanket tighter around him, trying to get a tiny semblance of comfort. Since when were Twisteds that fast..??

He cranned his neck, slightly wincing. Looking behind him to see the elevator with all the Toons inside - so close, yet so far. He sighed, but then his breath was seized by the timer above the elevator hitting 20 seconds.

On the other hand, the Toons in the elevator dawdled over how the elevator door was staying open. "-Wait, what..?! Is the elevator jammed???" Gigi questions, appalled. She looks around, glancing at the large opening where the elevator door should've been. Pebble whines, his expression adorably concerned as any normal pet rock dog would be.

"Goodness, well, that's definitely one of the many possibilities out there," Glisten murmurs, glancing at the elevator door. You can tell he's trying to keep his composure and maintain his 'perfect' appearance. Shelly also seems a tad worried. She opens her mouth to say something, then closes it as she sees Vee speak up.

Vee is sitting against one of the elevator walls, her right arm raised as Sprout bandaged her forearm. Cosmo is stationed next to Sprout, watching him aid Vee. "I don't think that's the problem-" she states in a somewhat unamused fashion.

At the topic of the elevator being supposedly 'broken', Sprout looked up and counted everyone's heads, cursing under his breath and interrupting Vee. "Someone isn't here, that's why.."
