Ishtar was a goddess, the greatest and wisest goddess of Mesopotamia (yes she is, shut up Ereshkigal!), being trapped in an elevator should not be a problem for her. Being trapped in an elevator with the mini version of goldy should definitely not be something she has to deal with!
With an over dramatized sigh, Ishtar floated down to the ground of the elevator and curled up in the corner, Kid Gil pulled a bean bag out from his gate of Babylon and sat down beside her.
"So, wanna hear a joke?" He asked.
"No!" Ishtar snubbed, "I don't like jokes."
"Not even a knock-knock joke?" He asked sweetly. Far to sweetly for a version of Gilgamesh.
"No."
The mini-king let out a sigh of his own and nestled himself into his beanbag, folding his arms behind his head he cast a sidelong glance at Ishtar, "It's really funny."
Ishtar scrunched her face up into a petulant expression, if she said no again he'd probably throw a tantrum and then she'd be the jerk who upset a kid. "Oh alright, fine, one joke."
"Knock-knock." Kid Gil began.
"Who's there?" she responded disinterestedly.
"Max."
Ishtar arched an eyebrow, "Max who?"
"Max wants to come in and go crazy!"
A little bit of light died in the goddesses eyes.
"Okay, well, that's not really a joke is it? You see because it makes no sense."
"It doesn't?" He asked in genuine bafflement. "It does if you know Max."
"But I don't know Max!" The goddesses exclaimed.
"If you did you'd be laughing so hard it would give you stomach pains."
Ishtar began pulling on her twin tails so hard they were at risk of coming lose from her head. She threw herself against the wall of the elevator and slammed down on the comm button.
"Get me out of here!" She yelled into the speaker.
A voice that sounded strangely like the archer version of Gilgamesh crackled back at her, "You still in there? It was our indication that you got out."
"What gave you that indication?" She was definitely going to lose her hair at this rate.
"That was just an indication that we had." The voice on the speaker didn't even have the gall to mask his smugness.
"Now you listen to me" She growled, "I have been stuck in here for ten hours with a little boy telling me jokes, and the whole things making me nauseous, now do something!"
"Okay first, don't panic second, don't throw up." The voice responded in a tone she did not appreciate. "Now we're going to try and dislodge you by having someone jump up and down on top of the elevator."
When Ishtar moved to complain, Kid Gil pulled another bean bag out from his gate of Babylon, and securing himself inside both of them like a turtle shell.
"Wait that-" But she was cut off.
"Go Enkidu!"
And suddenly the elevator was harshly volted up and down, Kid Gil was protected by his Babylonian bean bags, but Ishtar was flung against every surface of the small face in a manner that all to painful and not at all graceful.
"Okay, looks like we dislodged you, so now we're going to gently lower you to the ground floor."
A wobbly smile crawled onto Ishtar's mouth, she smiled to soon.
"Go Enkidu!" The voice on the speaker signaled, and the clay bully on top of the elevator jump down onto it again, sending it plummeting down like an asteroid.
When the jaws of life finally pried the doors open, Kid Gil was lying comfortably amongst his cushions and Ishtar was sprawled out on the floor, her tiara skewed and her eyes scrunched shut as she tried not to cry.
Archer Gilgamesh and Caster Gilgamesh stepped inside, promising to help them both out, but then one of them 'accidentally' kicked the jaws of life backwards and the door slid shut behind them.
"Uh oh, that wasn't very smart of us now was it?" Archer Gil asked sarcastically.
Caster Gil lamented, "It would seem we'll be stuck in here till the next shift."
All three pairs of red eyes looked down at the goddess who squeaked at that proclamation.
"Say, you guys know any knock-knock jokes?" Kid Gil asked, far to sweetly.
"Sure," Archer purred, "Knock knock."
"Who's there?" Asked Caster.
"Max."
And with that, Ishtar did burst into tears.
