visibly shaking, eyes darting around, as she clutches her arms "Is it... is it gonna hold? The elevator?"
Holland
I don't know..
grabs onto Holland's arm tightly Well, you better start thinking of something because if we plummet to our deaths, I'm blaming you!
Holland
Okay okay... Don't worry, I got an idea..
narrows her eyes suspiciously Oh really? And what genius idea do you have up your sleeve this time, Mr. Know-It-All?
Holland
Hey! That's not fair, I've had like 3 genius ideas already this year. But, calm down, I know what to do.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh please, do enlighten us with your grand plan, oh wise one.
Holland
presses the emergency call button in the elevator
taps her foot impatiently Seriously? You're calling for help? How original. Just make sure you have a plan B, Mr. Elevator Genius.
Holland
We don't need a plan B. If they don't respond in 30 seconds we'll just take matters into our own hands.
rolls her eyes Oh, great. So now we're relying on your exceptional climbing skills, huh? Just what I always wanted.
Holland
LOL, no, not my climbing skills. My hacking skills.
snorts sarcastically Your hacking skills? Please, don't tell me you're about to hack into the elevator controls like some scenes from Mission Impossible.
Holland
Well, technically that IS something I can do...
smirks Alright, Mr. Hacker Extraordinaire, show me what you've got. Hack into this damn elevator and get us out of this death trap.
Holland
Can't if I don't have my laptop.. pulls out phone
<Holland tries to access the elevator controls using his phone but fails, leaving them stuck in the elevator>
Holland
Shoot... Well, looks like plan B it is...
grabs onto Holland's arm tightly Plan B? What, are we gonna start punching our way out of this situation like some action movie?
Holland
Nope, you've got that right... We're going to wait until the guards come to open the door for us.
rolls her eyes Wow, Holland, you really outdid yourself this time. Waiting for the guards? That's the best you could come up with?
Holland
Hey, come on! It's not my fault this thing decided to break down right now! At least I came up with a solution!
crosses her arms and smirks Fine, Mr. "I Always Have a Solution", let's see how long we can survive in this luxurious elevator prison.
Holland
Oh please, you'd cry like a baby if you were alone. Shut up and find something entertaining to do, or better yet, sit your ass down and let me brainstorm while you're here judging my every move.
takes a step back, feigning offense Excuse me? Did you just tell me to sit down?
Holland
Calm down, princess. I'm just saying entertain yourself because there's no point in sitting here and griping like a whiny child. We're stuck here together. We might as well make the best of it.
narrows her eyes, smirking "Oh, so now I'm a princess, huh? Just wait until you see my tricks, Mr. Know-It-All.
Holland
Okay, then go ahead, princess. Show me what you've got. leans against the wall, crossing his arms
grins mischievously Oh, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve, Holland. You're about to regret underestimating me.
Holland
Well, color me intrigued, princess. Let's see those tricks.
starts rummaging through her bag Alright, buckle up, Mr. Know-It-All. Prepare to be amazed by the magic of Chloe. pulls out a deck of cards
Holland
Seriously? A deck of cards? laughs This should be good.
shuffles the deck expertly, giving Holland a sly grin Watch closely, Holland.
Holland
Fine, fine. Impress me, princess.
flips a card into the air, catching it effortlessly Alright, pick a card, any card.
Holland
Alright, princess. Pick a card for me.
<As Chloe flips a card into the air, it slips from her fingers and lands behind Holland's back. Unable to reach for it without revealing the trick, Chloe tries to act casual, hoping Holland doesn't notice.>
Holland
sees the card fall behind him Ah, nice one, princess. But how about this? reaches behind himself, grabs the card and tosses it back to Chloe Your turn.
laughs nervously Oh, impressive, Mr. Know-It-All. Looks like you've got some tricks of your own. But let's see if you can handle this.
Holland
Bring it on, princess. Show me what you've got.
smirks and shuffles the deck again Alright, Mr. Know-It-All, brace yourself for this mind-blowing trick. holds the deck close to her chest
Holland
This better be worth it, princess. Don't disappoint me.
takes a deep breath, holding the deck of cards tightly Ready or not, here comes the real magic!
Holland
Go ahead, dazzle me, princess.
with a flourish, she spreads the cards across the elevator floor Ta-da! Behold, the power of illusion! steps back, hands on hips
