[ Peter just kind of grunts his assent, rubbing at the swath of bandages over his injury. Sometimes, he is little better than a moody teenager. ]

... Okay then. Off we go!

[ And as promised, she leads them to the elevator, where they thereafter enjoy an elevator that actually travels at a humane pace. If there's one thing (excluding Charlie and Peter) that Kasumi's grateful for about being stuck in this dimension, it's that the elevators don't take a million years to go down a few floors. Which is why, when they reach the lobby and exit the elevator, Kasumi laughs to herself. ]

Wait, sorry. I have to ask -- that was like, a normal elevator speed, right? The ones where I'm from always took forever.

Really? All that space-age technology and you guys can’t come up with a decent elevator?

[ Peter leans against the wall of the elevator, eyes shut, but the trip is too short to get comfortable. As they step off, he smirks a little, amused. ]

Tell me about it. Some places I've been, it would've been faster just to take the stairs. Other places, you might as well be jumping out of a window.

[ He points behind them at the elevator with his thumb. ]

[ A small smile finds its way onto Kasumi's lips, too; she's glad to see anything other than a frown on Peter's face. She turns her gaze forward again, after that, continuing to lead them on out of the building and to the promised place of pizza. ]

God, I know. They're practically useless if you're in a hurry. Might as well invest in a grappling hook and rappel all the way down. There's really no explanation for it. I guess outer space and elevators just don't get along.

All the elevator funding went towards the spaceships, didn't it?

[nostalgiabomb]

To the spaceships and the rappelling equipment, actually. And the costumes.

[ he pauses ]

Also the guns. They've got some sweetass weaponry out there.

Oh, and don't forget bright, neon lights everywhere. That's pretty much a staple for urban life in space.
