[RPG] Labyrinth

Carrick_Fergus · Beginnend Tovenaar

Gabriel listens carefully to what Zé and Sam has to say, the story Zé sums up sounds cruel but this Labyrinth isn’t exactly friendly either. 'Maybe the balloon couldn’t land anymore since they had already thrown out much, so the balloon would keep going higher and higher again, so if the other friend would’ve jumped out to be with his friend he would never survived the jump, so the heroic deed of his friend would be for nothing. But then again how can his friend land save to the ground again and wouldn’t he just die aswell because of the cold atmosphere in the air, being naked and with no food…So maybe it was indeed all for nothing after all then’ Gabriel says thoughtfully ‘so maybe we should ask first or the friend in the balloon did really survive and how…Although the story we have now sounds good aswell, since this already a real cruel place and if it’s incorrect we still have some questions left right’ he asks.

Isaac is surprised that Reese agrees to go. When Reese starts to climb , Isaac slowly turns towards Ivy. With a broad smile he walks to her and seats himself next to her on the rock.

" So dear Ivy, I know you don't think highly of me , or even hate me, and why shouldn't you? I’m an arrogant asshole, am I not? But still here we are now, together, separated from Reese and Beck, but even more separated from our other four comrades." He starts smiling cunningly now.
" Don't you think that us four alone have a far better chance of getting somewhere then with the whole group. I mean , come on, Zé's arm is broken and she seems to be of little use know. Sam is a little sweet boy but after all still a boy. Gabriel , well, we still don't know much about that one, do we ? And our sweet Dahsi, well , she could've been useful, that’s true, a pity she isn't here with us." He takes a little pause and looks Ivy right in the eyes.
" I think we should try and do a couple more challenges with the four of us, with better chances of winning. The others seems stuck on some riddle and it looks to me that they still didn't solve it. So why shouldn't we take that precious time and go on. They can follow, if they want , or not. " He looks one little moment to the other side of the pit and then whispers :" Oh , and I think you should propose this to the our dear friends on the other side of the pit. They won't be surprised, after all you are still our little bitch. I even think that this whole plan is something you have been thinking of as well, and you seem to go on well with Reese, so she'll follow you for certain." He pauses again and watches Ivy, to see how she would respond to this.

“ Then , one more thing, don't go trying to tell someone this was my idea. Look at it this way, who are they going to believe when you come up with a story like this? Bitchy Ivy who always tries to blackmail people, or oh so sweet Isaac who comes over so amazingly gentle?" He says ironically.

Isaac slowly raises from the rock , giving Ivy a sly wink. "Think about it. This move could help you winning this game and could get you out of your foster care and spare you from more terrible families" he says, smiling painfully sweet. He turns away from her and starts walking to the rope, ready to get to the other side.

Ivy gleefully takes the walkie-talkie from Beck. She watches him throw his scrawny limbs over the rope. "What's up, Blondie," Ivy casually says into the walkie-talkie. Apparently, the rope could handle Beck's weight - lovely. He's alive. Didn't get eaten by snakes. Pfjoe! Ivy neglects telling Sam this. Another person needs to go, and Isaac suddenly comes forward and suggests that Reese goes first? That's... peculiar. And by the looks of it, Reese thinks it's weird too. But what's Isaac going to do? Bore Ivy to death with his trademark dullness? So Reese starts climbing the rope in a far more gracious manner than Beck had done, leaving Ivy and Isaac behind.

To only make matters stranger, Isaac sits down on the boulder next to her. Ivy raises an eyebrow and shuffles a couple of inches away from him. And then, he starts to talk. As his speech continues, Ivy's face stays as neutral as possible. Her thoughts, however, are racing. Wait - so Isaac The Idiot wants to join forces with her, Reese, and Beck? Isaac has some good points regarding the other group - Zé is a cripple by now; Blondie is basically a kid; Gabriel is weird and Dahsi, well. So Isaac wants their Relatively Cool Group to continue on without the Loser Group. He calls Ivy a bitch in the process (hah, did nobody teach him how to win an ally?), and sort of implies that she and Reese are bound together~. "I don't get along well with Reese," she contradicts him. "I tolerate her, because contrary to most of the people here, she seems like she could actually be of use." She leaves out the part about trusting Reese and that, frankly, she does really like her.

But Isaac's not done! He decides to end his monologue with some old-fashioned blackmail. Ivy squints at him. Is he serious? "Oh so sweet Isaac who comes over so amazingly gentle"? Is he not aware of the incompetent, ridiculous aura lingering around him? Is he not aware of how little Ivy thinks of him? He is not a threat. He should be in the Loser Group, because that's where losers are supposed to go. Ivy can't take him seriously - not really.

He gets his ass off the boulder and says something about foster care, causing every muscle in Ivy's face to strain. She feels kind of pissed off, at this point. He's insulted her, blackmailed her, and now he's decided to belittle her? Yeah. Okay. She takes a couple of seconds, in which she takes a breath. She looks up at Isaac. He would be the most horrible ally to have. Ever. He's stupid, incapable and mindlessly arrogant. She couldn't trust him even if she wanted to. Plus, she kind of feels the urge to strangle him.

So that alliance is off the table. But what to do, then? Her eyes flit to Beck and Reese on the other end. She looks back at Isaac. "You know what, you have a point," she says. She gets up, too, and gives him a long, hard look. "I think you're right. I don't think that we should split off though - we'll get more done when we're with more people. But if the four of us are allies... Hell, even the three of us... We could eliminate the rest. We could win, and divide the price."

Honestly? Ivy can't wait to stab Isaac in the back, and twist the knife around. That'll teach the bastard.

Beck watches Reese climbing the rope, admiring her flexibility. With relative ease Reese gets to Beck's side and greets him. Beck smiles friendly at her. ,,Hi.'' She then proceeds to call for the next one, but, as Beck watches Ivy and Isaac on the other side, Beck frowns. Isaac seemed to discuss something with Ivy.

,,What are they waiting for?'' Beck asks Reese. ,,Really. They're just chatting like that? Aren't we in quite a hurry?'' Beck wants to meet op with the others as soon as possible. He preferred the company of Dahsi, Sam and Zé much more than of Ivy or Reese for that matter.

,,Hey you two, hurry it up! We haven't got all day...''

Sam nods while listening to Gabriel. "We can ask some additional questions about the fate of our guy's friend." He bites his lip. It unsettles him to be parted from the rest of the group. As if on queue, Ivy's voice sounds from the walkie-talkie, sounding relaxed as ever, as if she doesn't have to face a pit of snakes. Sam doesn't know what it looks like, but knowing the drill of the labyrinth, they probably weren't able to just jump over the damn thing.

He doesn't know what to say to Ivy, so he ignores her for the time being. Instead, he looks up at Dahsi. "Okay, our sixth question.. What happened to the other man?" He rubs his eyes - his head is starting to hurt from exhaustion and the lack of food. Still, he wants to find the other four, before he can even think of sleeping.

Isaac turns around when Ivy starts talking. He's surprised that she is not angry with him, after all he did say some things that should've hurt her feelings. The only thing he noticed was her face when he said the things about her past. That really seemed to be something painful for her. He got her there, just as he wanted.

She looks hard at him, did he expect something else? A sudden friendliness , not really, but still it made him wince. When she's done talking , he didn't really believe a lot of what she said. Ivy would likely never share the price, he did think that he knew enough of her to be sure of that. Still she agreed with making a alliance. He knew he couldn't really trust her, after all she was still Ivy the bitch. But it could help to pretend to trust her fully.

"Well lets get to the others then." he decides, agreeing with what she said to stay with the others. Then he walks with a charming smile to her, pats her on the shoulder and ironically whispers "See you on the other side , dear lady alliance". He turns on his heels, walking towards the rope. Then Beck calls out to the pair of them. "I'm on my way Beck" he cries out to him. Then he grasps the rope and slowly , inch by inch he starts to move to the other side.

When he arrives on the other side he greets Reese and Beck with a broad smile.

"The other guy went on to live happily ever after," the voice tells the group a little bit annoyed. That didn't even matter to the story, why did they need to know it exactly?

"CONGRATULAAAATIOOONSSSSS" the voice booms. "What are you going to do about the rope though ladies and gentlemen?"

'Okay, we have plenty questions left, let's give it a shot,' Zé decides, they could go on asking questions forever.

Citaat:

'There were two of them in the air balloon. At some point, their air balloon was dropping, with a huge mountain in front of them. I imagine they'll have dropped the bags of sand at the sides of the air balloon first and everything in the air balloon plus their clothes-which is why he's naked-, but that still wasn't enough. Then, in order to save one of them, they picked straws. Our friend here had to jump, naked, out of the air balloon, so his friend could be saved.'

'So, is it correct?' she asks the voice. And she's pretty sure it is. After all, they know the story of the naked man. And the tone of the voice clearly gave away that the other man's story really didn't matter.

Sam Taylor

Sam frowns at the annoyed tone of the voice. Seriously, they made the rules and the tasks and his group was just trying to stay alive here. He glances up at Dahsi again and then turns to Zé, who puts the story together. Hij bites his lip a bit nervously, but even if the story is wrong, they've used only 11 questions. He carefully lays his hand on Zé's back, not daring to touch her arm. In his other hand he holds on tightly to the walkie-talkie. With a hopeful smile, he keeps his eyes on Dahsi's platform. It should come down if they solved the riddle, right?

Isaac smiles at her in a way she finds incredibly slimy, says goodbye and then he slings his body around the rope to climb to the other side. Ivy heaves a sigh. She half hopes that he'll lose his grip and falls into the pit. Sadly, he survives. Oh well, a person can hope. Ivy flexes her fingers and then she, too, manages to climb over to the other side. It kind of startles her when the voice starts screaming "CONGRATULATIONS!" He asks what they're going to do with the rope. The rope doesn't really matter to Ivy a lot, so instead of thinking about that, she subtly glances over at Reese. They seriously need to talk.

"No idea," she says indifferently. "Okay team, put your thinking caps on." She yawns. It's getting darker. Maybe it's time to stop running around here. Set up a camp. Her eyes flit to Reese again. Would they be able to have some privacy? Not from the organisation - Ivy doesn't care about them right now. She and Reese have already let the organisation believe that they only just decided to team up. No, would they be able to get privacy from Beck and Isaac?

"CORRECT!" she answers the group. Finally these buggers could move on. It was getting kind of boring out here. The cage slowly comes back down and the Dahsi is let out.

Afbeelding

Dahsi has been standing in the cage for quite a while. She decided to sit down, for the time being. She was terrified to be crushed into a million pieces, that was so much worse than having your arm broken. She decides to just remain quiet though, the others would handle it. Sam and Zé were really smart and Gabriel probably had one thing or another to offer. After Dahsi notices that it's becoming dark, she's starting to feel more unsure every time. Was it a very difficult task? Would they be able to do it? What if they couldn't.

She's starting to get more and more frustrated. It was after all her task to give a complete report on every task and drama in the Labyrinth. Unfortunately, the group was split up and she could barely here anything. She nearly jumps when the cage starts moving again. Had they solved it? "Wooohoo, awesome guys! You saved me, thank you so much!" she yells while moving back down slowly. Finally she's free! She stretches her legs and runs to her 'enemies'. "Let's go. I'm not particularly fond of this place and we need to catch up with the group," she decides.

Carrick_Fergus · Beginnend Tovenaar

Why the hell was that voice so annoyed about, they're the ones that have to risk the life of a team member. So now they're going with the story they allready had before the last questions. Immediatly he stares at the platform where Dahsi is standing. Luckily the voice says the answer is correct, because it just would be an awful and very painful sight if they got it wrong and well poor poor Dahsi.

'It's good to have you back again, and you're right the sooner we get out of here the better' he response to her.

lame xD

Alice · Lid Wikenweegschaar **Woonplaats:** Rapture

Sam Taylor

Sam is relieved, when the voice tells them the story is correct. Dahsi comes back down and comes running at them, happily yelling and thanking them. Sam smiles at her and pulls her into a short hug. "What Gabriel said; it's good to have you back, Dahsi. Let's go find the others." He says, while he lets go of her again.

Practically skipping, he starts walking again, every now and then glancing back at the rest of his group. He has slightly memorized the map, but he isn't entirely sure about which way they need to go. So he turns to walking backwards, while he eyes Dahsi and holds the walkie-talkie against his chest. "Which way do we need to go?" He asks.

Then he realizes he should check up on the other group again and let them know they got past the task. So he turns to his walkie-talkie. "Beck? Or.. Ivy.." He adds a bit confused. "We just solved the riddle and got Dahsi safe. We're on our way to number 29, where we will meet you guys again. If I remember correctly, you just need to follow the path and you'll get there too. Is everyone okay and safe over there? Over."

Reese looks at Ivy and Isaac on the other side, with a frown on her face. She can't hear what they're discussing, but Ivy looks somewhat pissed off, which doesn't bode well. "No idea," Reese answers Beck when he asks why they're taking so long. But Reese does plan on asking Ivy; she and Ivy need to get together and discuss their strategy anyway.

Finally, Isaac starts crossing the rope. Quite slowly - not half as fast as Reese did, she notices, with a feeling of self-satisfaction. When Isaac smiles at her and Beck in greeting, Reese ignores him, instead looking at Ivy, who is also crossing the rope and has now reached the group as well, prompting a 'congratulations' from the voice and also the question: what are they going to do about the rope?

Reese notices Ivy's look at her and subtly nods, then quickly looks away, towards the snake pit. It looks sufficiently deep, so if she were to try- well, Reese has plenty of climbing and swinging experience from back when she used to run around on roofs all the time, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Her chances are good, considering the risks involved.

"Geez, you boys can't come up with anything, can you?" Reese says to Beck and Isaac. She is careful to keep her voice light, though; it's a bit teasing, definitely not antagonizing. Though it is true; Reese figured out how to get to the other side of the pit, Ivy how to tie the rope into a lasso and how to make sure that the rope would stay put. Beck and Isaac haven't contributed... well, anything so far. "I'll get the other end - we'll probably need to use it for another task too, so. Stay here."

She goes back to the rope. Because the rope got stuck in the top of the tree and was tied on the other side around the bottom of the boulder, she has to climb down for a bit - which is good, because if the rope had hung straight over the pit, swinging over it wouldn't be a possibility; she'd just drop straight down into the pit. Not something Reese would be happy with, suffice to say.

Reese soon reaches the other side, where she unties the rope from the boulder with some difficulty. Ivy is good at tying things up, apparently. Anyway, she manages it, and then steps to the edge of the pit with the rope in her hand. Reese is very, very careful not to look down at the swirling mass of snakes, though she is very concious of what the consequences would be if she falls somehow. Why didn't I get Isaac to volunteer? It wouldn't be a problem if that useless ass dies. Me on the other hand...

Biting on her lip from nerves, Reese takes a few steps back, until the rope is taut in her hands - then she runs forward and flings herself into the air, climbing up the rope mid-jump. The rope swings towards the other side and Reese keeps climbing, because if she doesn't get high up the rope, she might end up in the pit anyway. She comes a bit too close to the snakes for comfort, but then she hits the wall of the other side, just underneath the edge. Reese climbs over the rim of the pit, and finally ends up next to Ivy. "Hi again, guys," she says in a careless tone, though her heart is racing in her chest and her hands are sweating. She rubs them together, ignoring the pain it causes. Rope burn. "Well, time to join up with the-"

At that moment, Sam starts speaking through the walky-talky again. Looks like the other half of the group made it through their task as well. Reese motions for Ivy to reply, then puts her hands in her pockets.

OOC: beetje gekloot met de timeline zodat het radiocontact na Reese's Tarzanactie is, mijn excuses. :')

When voice states their answer is correct, Zé can't help but to jump out of happiness. 'Alright, we did it!' she says happily. She gives Dahsi a hug when she is freed from that cage. Or sort of, because Zé can only use one arm to hug her. Apart from the fact that Dahsi's life was on the line, this challenge was not bad. Not bad at all. If only there would be more challenges like this one. Then she could be of some use. In contrast to any physical challenge, she would only be a burden to the rest of the group.

'I think it was number 29,' Zé says, when they decide to leave this place behind as fast as possible. 'It would be nice to reunite with the others before it gets really dark.' Zé has a feeling that sleeping in this labyrinth won't be easy. Their safety was never guaranteed, especially not at night.
