    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”

    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

    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.
