    Absolutely nothing, because I wouldn’t want a stranger to talk to me in an elevator and I was raised to do unto others.

      I feel awkward being in public without interaction. It’s like my brain goes into overdrive, trying to predict a sudden interaction incoming like a quick time event

      I’d comment on something slightly more relevant than the weather, because the conversation can then fade to comfortable silence (for me at least) knowing no more conversation is likely, or I’d do what I always do when someone engages - everyone has something interesting about them, I’ll throw the conversation in random directions until I find a topic worth speaking about

    Considering it’s only 8 seconds this must be the fastest fucking elevator ever so I’m probably screaming

    I make brief eye contact, purse my lips to form a half-smile, and nod my head downward. Then i move to an open corner of the elevator, i pull my phone out, and i end my turn.

      The elevator stops at the next floor and a Chadbro™ enters. He does not notice you, and does not press any buttons on the elevator. He sniffs his pits before posting his hand on the wall beside the woman and whispers something in her ear. Her face changes to disgust and she darts a pleading glance in your direction, silently asking for help.

            “haha roll initiation for what? im in a elevator :p”

            Chadbro slowly begins to turn. A smirk creeps across his face as he stares daggers into my soul.
            He draws a broadsword

            “Oh”

    Lady in red. It’s a simulation, no experiment is going to show anything worthwhile.

    “Look again.”

    looks

    “Fuck, I wish you’d stop doing that, Morpheus.”

    Nothing and just awkwardly stare on the floor or wall, like with anyone else.

    Well, considering the only elevator I take is to a secure area, I’d ask to see your visitor’s badge and inform you civilians aren’t allowed here unescorted.

    Second 1: introduce myself

    Second 2: Andrew Tate pose

    Second 3: obtain phone number

    Second 4: go on date

    Second 5: head home with them

    Second 6: get touchy

    Second 7: undress

    Second 8: get off at my floor because I already came at second 1.

      Hey. Some of my best conversations have taken place in an elevator.

      But yeah, I’m not worth talking to

    Well, Pac-man was originally called Puck-man. They changed it because… Not because Pac-man looks like a hockey puck. “Paku Paku” means “flap your mouth”, and they were worried that people would change, scratch out the P turn it into an F, like…
