First question.
What would you do if you got into a completely normal lift, and when the doors closed it announced that it was NOT a completely normal lift as you had assumed, but in fact was an Inter-universal Transport Lift, and was taking you to another universe?

I personally, would be all for going to another Universe. I would want to pack a few things, but to escape my mundane existence and everyday misery would be great. As long as I had a friend with me. At first, I might also be a little on the skeptical side, but seeing is believing, as they say.

I would be like, "WHAT?" and then I'd get all excited and try to ask the lift questions along the lines of Can you talk to me? Which universe are we going to? Will you take me back after a while? Should I get off and pack some things first? Can I grab a friend really quick? Do you have any food?
And then the lift would kick me out for talking too much. That would be my luck.

Out-talk the talking lift.

If it happened in real life, I'd pause, laugh kind of nervously, and worry about whether I should have packed a lunch or not. then I'd worry if I should have packed a suitcase or not. Then I'd ask the lift if there was any way the next universe might involve Lord of the Rings. I have a one-track mind. I'd also worry if I'd ever be able to come back. I mean, my theatre needs me.... You can't have a show without the old woman...

I'd freak out first, then be in denial until it actually TOOK me to another world.
Then I'd hyperventilate and go about upsetting the natural order of things ^_^

I'd probably inadvertently upset the balance of Nature by touching a newt and then accidentally cause the universe to explode, resulting in a chain reaction of universes being destroyed just becuase I couldn't keep my hands to myself. Kinda like Pippin.
*reaches out hand and touches newt**silence* *World explodes*
Oops.

Wow, thanks, everyone. That's really helpful.
Because in my latest story, as you may have guessed, two people go into a lift and end up in another world...
It's incredible, nearly everyone I've asked has said they'd be happy about it.
No-one said they'd try to out-talk the lift though...

Yeah....
I'm considering going to a department store and asking if I can use their lift tannoy for a few minutes... ;D Just to see reactions.

It would. Doubt they'd let me, though.

When I get nervous, I talk... A LOT. I either talk a lot at superspeed or I don't talk at ALL. I would be nervous if an inanimate object began speaking to me so I'd probably get nervous and talk back.
I wouldn't try to out-talk it on purpose.

I think I'd just look a little scared...and when it did actually transport me, worry about how I would get home. Although I tend to avoid lifts. I'm a little worried about them breaking down...
