what goes up.... doesn't come down.
[They had their efforts timed out. Planning that spanned back at least a month. Comms borrowed from Damian's dad. Hi-tech surveillance cameras scattered everywhere. Mindy had done the research, read about elevators, even watched an episode of NOVA on the subject. If the doors couldn't shut it could take down an elevator, which in a place like this, full of lazy people, would probably make everyone in the place miserable.
They didn't stop there though, because sometimes people were smart. Sometimes they could find the coin that was dropped into the track. Sometimes they could sort out a way to get the doors to close. So they built their own set of buttons and when they both had the signal that everything was clear, the re-wired buttons were installed and the coins were dropped.
Both gave the all clear and bolted for the stairs.
Both met up at their 'secret headquarters'.
Both were nearly insufferable with how proud they were at a job well done.
One elevator trapped on twelve and the other on four. Of course, given the castle those floors could change - not that you'd be able to choose what floor you ended up on.
So, Cair Paradisa residents, the elevators are failing you and the stairs might be your only option.
Just what do you do on a normal day? Do you give up on heading to work half-way down the stairs? Do you stand in a broken elevator for twenty minutes hoping the castle will fix it?
Whatever it is that you do - Mindy and Damian are watching you.]
