When several seconds of looking around, expectantly searching out for any sign of the elevator as if it would jump out and present itself, didn't turn up any sign of it, the little blue creature gave an indignant 'hmph', bringing her arms up to cross over her chest. She always forgot where the elevator was. Or where any of them were. The ones leading down, along with the ones leading up. You would think something that big would be easy to spot with just a quick glance. And they would be. If she could remember what they looked like.
Eventually, she did gather enough sense together to remember that she had a map function of the place in her scouter. A courtesy from someone in the EPD, who recognized right away her lack of directional sense. It had come in handy a couple times, when she remembered she had it. Most of the time that was not a thing she remembered. She was always so focused on something else, and there was only so much room in her head for remembering things outside of the immediate thing-remembering so she didn't end up aimlessly wandering off to do something else in the middle of something important. That was just a recipe for disaster, and something she always had to be very careful about so as to not wind up lost in some alley somewhere and wondering why there was no sign of something she was looking for....
....when had she ended up in this alleyway?
One hand lifted to scratch at her forehead, just under the line of her tentacular hair. "I could've sworn that the creepy abandoned alleyway was at the next street over..." She looked left. Then she looked right. Just walls. She looked up. Artificial sky. She looked back front again. Just the dead-end of the alleyway. Her head turned a one-eighty on her neck, staring back out toward the mouth of the alleyway. "...guess I took a wrong turn." With a shrug, the small blue abomination of a creature spun around to face the 'out' direction and set to walking again.
This time, with the awareness of mind to actually utilize the map function she had in her scouter. A few quick button presses, a screeching 'ERROR' as she fumbled it in her inattentive state — she was still trying to figure out how she'd managed to wander off course — and several more quick fumbling attempts finally got it properly pulled up. The map overlay spiraled down into her view on the lens of the scouter, spinning around to align itself with her orientation. Another minute or so of messing about with the buttons and controls, and she had managed to get the pointer for the elevator heading up to make itself known. It was...in the complete opposite direction. She had a permanent map marker for her apartment on the map, and it was now between her and the pointer for the elevator.
"...getting around cities is hard," she finally said aloud, before turning around and taking off elevator-ward in a light jog.
