[10:46 Am, Second day, Outside the elevator..]
The suns rays where falling down upon the ruined landscape, and the broken building in which the nine where trapped...
On a hill there sat Lightbulb, covered in a few bandages from the incident. She had been at the entrance to the building when the earthquake had stuck, and the floor had collapsed on her and a few others like TestTube, Yin-Yang, and Baseball. By now they knew that everyone, besides the missing nine, where alive and doing quite well. Everyone was worried about the missing nine, this included her best friend Paintbrush, who she also loved, and she knew Baseball was worried about his two alliance members, well friends, as Nickel and Suitcase never did get along the best. Ballon was also quite in the rut over Suitcase, though most where simply happy that Ballon had not died, even Ballon didn't deserve such fate and he had proved himself to change even more after Inanimate Insanity ended.

She watched the building in silence as she had nothing to say... "Hey-" A voice called out to her, she knew them. "Hey Testy!" Lightbulb back, "Hey how many times have I told you too-" TestTube was quick to realize LightBulbs worry, "... ah.. Your worried right?" she asked, "Yeah." LightBulb responded with not much enthusiasm. So TestTube sat with her, "The earthquake- It was insanely strong. You can tell by the building! That thing was made to withstand a category 5 hurricane! A heavy earthquake! A- "
Lightbulb had already got up and left, which TestTube failed to notice until now.
In the distance there was two voices.. one of Yin and one of Yang. TestTube knew that she'd made drink that would allow the two able to separate whenever, but would automaticly make them combine if Yang got too destructive. The two seemed to be fighting, though she knew the two had gotten with Tissues, it seemed as if the disappearance of Tissues had upset them.

Another Figure walked up, despite having a dislocated hand from the earthquake knocking it like that, they where just as bubbly as before. Apple seemed to be trying to bring everyone's mood up, though TestTube guessed they where too dumb to realize their friends where missing and that lots of stuff where detsoryed. "Hello- uh.. What was your name again?" "TestTube." she sighed annoyed, "Oh right, TestTube have you seen marsh-? I haven't seen them in ages-!" Apple stated, not showing one bit of concern. "No, I haven't now I must get going-" TestTube said getting up again, then she walking away from Apple whos face showed confusion twords TestTube's tone.
Stuff would continue as usual..

[3:57 PM.. Outside The elevator..]
Objects where making a simple camp and shelter using rubble from OJ's hotel and from the tower, of course the orange beverage was no where to be seen, so they simply guessed that OJ would be fine with it. It was going extreamly well. They had already set up a place to eat and sleep, and a river ran not too far from their camp. Though unfortainately it would not last. No one was prepared for a after shock this late. "AFTER SHOCK-!" Microphone suddenly screamed, which everyone had to cover their hearing.
Everything was once again tossed about, their work was thrown back into the ground, and it was all just.. a mess once more.

[Sometime before the after shock, Inside the elevator...]
Suitcase had her face on the wall, everyone guessed that she was already starting to loose it. After all she had to be the most unstable here out of them all and the fight with Nickel also didn't help them at all. Infact it might of made suitcase worse off.
Meanwhile Tissues and the Cherries where playing a game of cards, well go-fish, granted they couldn't see the cards all too well either but that didn't matter, they where distracted from the tense fear of being suspended in a broken elevator. "Have anyy... aac-hOo- uhhg.. Twoos-?" Tissues asked, "Hmmm- I can't see a thing!- I think its this one-" both of the Cherries responded, one handing over a card too Tissues who made a pair. "hey Fan- what time is it?" the Cherry who was not playing asked, though they got no response, it seemed Fan was asleep as they where slumped over on their side and snoring a little. Nickel finally had enough of being in here, he had counted that it had been over a day, he was tired of the space, the numbers of time in his mind. He stood up, "Paint Brush lift me to that hatch door up there." they demanded, "And why should I shorty?" PaintBrush retorted, not happy about being bossed about. "JUST DO IT!" Nickel yelled obviously with high annoyance, Paintbrush sparked but calmed so they wouldn't start another fire on himself. "Fine." They agreed, picking up Nickel, who felt highly uncomfortable being picked up, and lifted them above his head to the ceiling where the door hatch was, Nickel opened it and climbed through. With Nickel in the shaft, they didn't have to deal with his negativity. This made Suitcase at least somewhat happier.
They all could hear the tapping of nickel on top of the elevator, which was insanely dangerous.
Stuff went on as normal, tissues winning a few games of go-fist, and small talk about memories or funny stories. Though none of them guessed that a after shock would strike so late.
The elevator rocked then fell again, sliding at least a foot or two.

As the elevator fell, they all screamed and there was horried screech and scream, crunching and metal sparks from the shaft lit up the elevator ever so slightly. The hatch door's hatch slammed closed but came off it hinges when the elevator stopped, "ow!" it hit someone, no one knew who but it hit since the voice was blended with everyone everyone elses voices. The elevator was stuck once more..

They took a second to take in what had happened, the elevator slid down again... someone was on the floor... Paintbrush was on the floor passed out, the others noticing cracks in their wood and scrapes on the metal, the door not too far away. Fan was curled up in the corner, his phone screen was shattered.
They made someone look on the top of the elevator... "T-Theres bent sharp metal every where..!" Marsh called back. They where shocked, all except Suitcase who was banging into a wall and hopping back, then banging into it over and  over.
Nickel was dead and Suitcase was happy about it.
