Chime....

Chime....

Chime....

"Oh goody! They're on! I was getting bored waiting."

I smiled, perking up as I watched the three on their way.

"Let's see....The dense one, shawshank, and the kid.....Yup......Perfect. I really wonder what they're gonna do...." I said to myself, leaning back with a smile. Would they stay calm? Would they freak out? Will they adjust? The possibilities are truly endless....

"Are they on?" Came a voice. Great.

"Yeah, they're on."

"How are they taking it?"

"They just wanna get out of where they are, like planned."

"What about their condition?"

"Dense is pretty messed up, but the stuff is going through his veins the fastest, shawshank is in great shape, and even remembers most things, but he's a tough nut, and the kid....I can't really tell. They're an odd one."

"Will the first survive?"

"What?"

"Will the first survive?"

"Yeah, I should think so. Like I said, the stuff is running through his veins pretty fast....I think it might be messing him up but he should-"

"Do /not/ let him die, keeper. He must make it here, as must the rest."

"He will, he will. But won't he just kick it anyway? He's gonna lost his marbles if this place don't gank em'."

"RRRGH...."

"Okay, okay, he'll make it, geez....."

Hardass.

DING!

"Oh! They're here! Looks like I'm up!" I said with a smile, hopping and straightening my suit, snapping my fingers as all three elevators arrived, carrying the three.

"Oh good! You're here in one piece! Great!"
