[RPG] Labyrinth

Everyone seems to agree with Dahsi's logic. At leasts she doesn't hear any counter arguments. On the one hand she can't wait to get to the next stop, because she's hungry, but on the other she is a bit petrified by the idea of what's awaiting them. "So that's decided then... two it is," she states for the whole group. Then Reese and Gabriel start to argue; like that's what they needed right now. She decides not to meddle, again thinking of the reason she's here - to stay unbiased, get her article and apparently try to stay alive at the same time. She opens her backpack and grabs out her water bottle. She drinks a bit from the water and hands it to Reese, hoping this will interrupt the argument. "Pass it around, everyone's probably quite thirsty. Thankfully I'm stubborn and take this bottle with me everywhere, despite the fact that they told us there'd be food and drinks aplenty in the labyrinth," Dahsi explains with a grin.

As her hands are free again, she looks in her backpack again and finds a pen. She draws a circle around number one and three and draws a line of where they've walked. She makes a small note next to the numbers; the word 'objects' at number one and the word 'lions' at number three. She looks up at Beck who's talking to her. "Well... I guess when it comes to life or death I can act a bit insane," she answers him with a chuckle. "And I'm okay. Just some cuts on my hands and scratches on my legs, but it's not bleeding, so I'll be fine. I was a rough kid... nothing I can't handle!"

Dahsi wants to ask if Beck himself is okay, but is distracted by the sound of the gate reopening. 'Thank god, we're free! Or at least... I think I'm happy about that...' she says to herself. "Look, the way is cleared up! Let's go guys,"

Once again Dahsi takes the lead and back the way they came. The temperature going down to about 20 degrees Celsius. After passing the start and having set about 120 footsteps, they arrive at what seems to be the entrance of some sort of cave. There's a small table with a large plate of sandwiches. There's also a can full of orange juice and some glasses. Dahsi immediately grabs a sandwich.

The voice gets a bit annoyed at Beck's comment

"Oh I can get much more evil if you like. I could lead you to the pit of snakes awaiting you somewhere within the labyrinth, if you like." he answers Beck's comment "And there's not just poisonous snakes, but also ones that will squish your little neck, just like that!"

Then he starts laughing. "Ha. I'm just kidding! Or... am I? Man I haven't had this much fun since narrating that crazy Koala movie."

He then remains quiet up to the point of the group arriving at the cave.

"See! There's orange juice for all of you. Because some people would consider me considerate. Pah." he mentions. "Well anyway... welcome to the next stop. It's very simple. Only ONE can enter. Choose wisely."

Gabriel gives some kind of excuse, 'it happened really fast'. Reese thinks that's bullshit; it happened very fast for everyone, yet Gabriel was the only one who didn't participate until it was actually safe. She surmises that by 'Mr. Perfect' Gabriel means the guy in the suit. "He took down a lion on his own," Reese says shortly, "which is a lot more than you did. But whatever, I'll just know not to count on you having my back."

At this point, Dahsi hands Reese a water bottle. "Thanks," Reese says, somewhat surprised. She takes a few sips from the water and then, in a reluctant peace offering, tosses it to Gabriel. She puts her hands in her pockets, ignoring the radio that's in the right one and is speaking again.

When the gate opens and Dahsi takes the lead, Reese immediately follows, glad to get away from this place. While they walk, Reese slowly drifts over to Ivy and Sam. Though Reese has dried up by now, she still feels cold, and she has to force herself to stop shivering. She hopes Ivy pulls herself together soon, because she has the feeling that she's going to need a partner soon.

Eventually they reach some kind of cave, where the voice starts talking again. Reese decides to hold back from voicing her opinion for now and instead takes a sandwich. She does know that she's not eager to go in there, though. There might be something wonderful in there, but it could also be another monster, and Reese is not willing to take her chances so early in the game.

'What do you want me to say that I was acting stupid, that I'm indeed a moron...I can't turn back the clock to make a better effort, but I will do so with the next challenges' he says.

Gabriel caught the bottle out of mid air. 'Thank you' he smiles faintly to Reese. He follows Dashi and Reese when the gate opens, well what will bring them next.

When they reach a cave, the voice starts speaking again in which Gabriel takes his time to listen to what is said. Gabriel starts to think about he kinda let everyone down in the fight against the lions, so maybe this would be a chance for him to make it up. I'll do this, because I let you down earlier and besides it looks pretty dark in there and I do have the flashlight' he says.

Lupos · Volleerd Tovenaar **Woonplaats:** Over the rainbow

Isaac turns to Gabriel when he says something about him, that he didn't do anything or something like that. So Isaac feels like responding."Euhm Mr who likes to come in at the end and play the hero, I did kill a lion so I did actually save some lives. That cannot be said of you.". When Reese protects him he smiles a sincerely smile to her and mumbles. "Thanks".

The gates open and Dahsi leads the group out. Isaac walks away from Gabriel and decides to walk next to Beck and Zé "You're both okay ? What you did was amazing Beck, without you I don't think Sam could've killed that Lion. You to Zé I didn't know you would be able to do what you did. It think we all did a great job working together like that, but I honestly hope we don't need to fight any animals anymore"

When they arrive at a cave. There is some food and juice so Isaac immediately gets him a glass of juice, it was really refreshing. Then the voice starts speaking again. Only one can enter that cave, and Isaac doesn't really know what could be waiting inside there. He didn't want to find out, and he does not know who should go in. He grabs a sandwich and hears Gabriel opting that he should go in. Isaac couldn’t agree more “If you say you want to go in , go ahead then.”. He wouldn’t pretend to be friendly to this man after what he said about him earlier.

While Dahsi eats her ham and cheese sandwich she listens to the newest instructions. They had to choose someone to enter the cave? It seemed rather dark in there. Again, she doesn't want to have any influence on the decision, but then again, she sure as hell did not want to enter herself either. Gabriel proposes a solution to which Isaac gladly agrees. If she agrees and he dies, she'd feel quite guilty. Then again, it could be something useful or really worthy. Either way, Gabriel is offering himself up to take the risk.

"If you're sure..." she hesitantly says. "It's kind of you to offer and obviously I'm not going to turn it down."

She smiles at him and suddenly realises she still doesn't know his name. "Can you at least tell us your name before you risk your life?" she asks.

She takes another bite out of her sandwich and fills a glass of orange juice.

Carrick_Fergus · Beginnend Tovenaar

Gosh appearantly Gabriel can't say or find the right words without Isaac or Reese getting angry with him, he allready have admitted his mistakes and that he should be their to help. Ofcourse he should be paying more attention, but he just didn't notice it was Isaac that killed a lion on his own. But how on earth did he do that. Anyway still it's in the past and Gabriel still can't turn back time. He doesn't feel the need however to apologize to mr.Perfect aswell, and besides after this is all over everyone will go their seperate ways, alive hopefully.

'I'm sure, it's the least I could do after I wasn't that much of a help with the lions' he says to Dashi 'and it's Gabriel' he introduces himself finally. 'So is everyone agreeing for me going in he asked, before not everyone is going to agree with him going in and he has an argument about that. In how he didn't listen to the opinions of the others.

The voice isn't a very patient person it seems, because once again he can't help but open his mouth.

"Alright, that's three votes from crazy jumping girl, mister useless and mister lion-killer. Two more and Usless goes inside. I wonder if he comes back out..." he says with a small giggle.

Zé doesn't really participate in the discussion on where to go next. She's just glad she survived the first challenge. And when Beck says they make a good team, she even smiles at him sincerely. 'We did well,' she says, while she pats him on the shoulder. Once again, Zé flinches, damn there's something really wrong with her shoulder. She just hopes it will get better overnight.

She picks a pen from her pocket and over Dahsi's shoulder, she quickly scribbles a line as long as the way to number three was with "75 steps" below it. 'So, that's settled then,' she mumbles, before she quietly follows the group to number two apparently. Number two was fine. That way they wouldn't miss any number along the way, so Zé doesn't bother getting in the middle of it.

The voice claims only one person can enter this challenge. They have to think about it carefully. Gabriel immediately volunteers. Zé doesn't know if it's such a good idea for him to go. The voice clearly said they had to think carefully about their choice, so why were they sending Gabriel in without any apparent good reason? Well, she guesses putting themselves out of danger is a good thing, so she just shrugs. 'Fine by me, Gabriel can risk his life for us this time,' she then says, as she takes a glass of juice too.

When Isaac asks both her and Beck if they're okay, Zé frowns. 'My shoulder really hurts,' she sighs, 'so I'm glad I don't have to go in. Hopefully it will be better by tomorrow.' She slowly takes a sip from her juice, enjoying it as much as possible. Who knows when they'd get another chance at a decent drink. 'Yeah, I'm done with animals for now,' she agrees. Even though she doesn't have to participate in the next challenge, Zé is all but at ease. She doesn't really believe that they'll be able to just stand here and do nothing while Gabriel is in there. She's not letting her guard down.

Skywalker · Schoolhoofd

Sam seems to think that he and Ivy are buddies now. He puts a hand on her shoulder and starts talking about how she 'did well'. As if she needs to hear that. "I'm fine," she repeats, shrugging his hand off. "This isn't the time to get sappy and nice, Blondie. Let's go." She lifts herself up and looks at Sam. Maybe his caring-and-sweet-exterior is just an act. If anyone knows how to fool people into thinking you're something you're not, it's Ivy. She shrugs and looks around. Reese and Gabriel are arguing, but Reese seems to manage just fine, so Ivy doesn't tell him to shut up and move on.

At any rate, they move on, and Ivy hangs behind the group, in case there's some monstrosity waiting for them. But all they find is a cave and food. Ivy manoeuvres herself towards the sandwishes and grabs two off the plate. Apparently, they have to choose who will enter the cave. She doesn't want to go in for two reasons: 1) there might be danger in there, and Ivy would much rather live than die, and 2) she's not going anywhere without Reese. That was their plan: they do everything together, and they bring in the price together.

Ivy thinks they might all start arguing again, but instead, Gabriel volunteers. What's his angle? He can't be serious about the oh-I-feel-so-guilty-thing, right? And this isn't brave, it's stupid. But Ivy shrugs. If he wants to go ahead and risk his life: go right ahead. However... What if this isn't what it seems? What if they're supposed to cast one person off into the darkness, just to have it turn out that they sent that person into safety? What if some kind of hell will fall upon them, because they all stayed? Ivy shifts uneasily. Either way, she's staying.

Once she swallows a bite, she smirks slightly and says: "Well, have fun in there!"

"Very well! Useless goes into the tunnel. Go on then boy. No changing your mind now, or you'll be disqualified!"

OOC: Carrick_Fergus heeft een PB gehad met informatie. Jullie kunnen er van uit gaan dat hij nu de tunnel in gaat. Afhankelijk van de reactie op de pb volgt meer informatie.

Carrick_Fergus · Beginnend Tovenaar

Well it seems that everyone is agreeing for him to enter the cave, but not because they think it's a noble thing of him to do, well except for Dashi maybe. She seems the only one with a little concern for him. When the voice confirms that he's the one that has to enter the cave and that he can't change his mind or else he will be disqualified. Well he wasn't planning on changing his mind anyway.

Once Gabriel enters the cave, he follows a tunnel for about 100 meters until he comes to a dead end. There's a wall with a lit torch. There's a table in front of the wall with two boxes. There's a small note which instructs, which Gabriel reads very carefully so he won't make any mistakes. He picks the box on the left and opens it to find a ticket inside of it. He takes it out of the box to read what it says, it appears to be a free death pass for someone else. Only now it's up to him who he'll give the ticket to, he can give it to Dashi, because she impressed him the most in some way. But he also can give it to Sam so the boy won't have to think about or he's going to die or not.

He takes the same path back, but when he steps out of the cave he hasn't made up his mind yet. But he will have to do so before the end of the Labyrinth. 'Well I had to follow a path, where I found two boxes on a table and in the box that I picked there was something inside of it. What that is, you'll found out soon enough' he says, because he didn't want to say anything about the ticket yet, since he doesn't know yet to who he's going to give it to.

Yuuki · Lioness of Casterly Rock **Woonplaats:** King's Landing

When Isaac thanks Reese for defending him, she just nods and smiles. Then, to Reese's surprise, Gabriel volunteers to go into the cave. She had not pegged him as the sacrifice type, but apparently she was wrong. "If you want to... go ahead," Reese says. The others seem to agree, which is fine by Reese. Ivy even contributes with a snarky 'have fun', which lightens Reese's spirits for a bit, because it's a sign that Ivy might be recovering from whatever her problem is.

"Good luck," Reese says shortly, after the voice tells Gabriel to go into the tunnel. She doesn't like Gabriel, but if he dies... well, Reese would feel guilty if she didn't at least wish him good luck. Stupid conscience. You're in it to win it, Reese, who cares who dies, whether that be humans or lions or whatever. Idiot, she thinks.

For the next ten minutes, Reese focuses on eating her sandwich. There is an awkward silence and though a part of Reese wishes to break it and maybe get to know her companions - and competition - a bit better, she is in too much of a depressed mood to bother. She wishes, again, that she hadn't let Ivy convince her. This is different from conning rich men or stupid tourists, and way more dangerous. Reese really, really needs the money though.

Gabriel returns and explains what he had to do. Reese isn't surprised that Gabriel doesn't tell them what was in the box; she wouldn't either. "Well, it doesn't look like you were in mortal danger or anything, but thanks for volunteering anyway." It sounds more dry than heartfelt, but she does mean it a little. Entering an area with unknown dangers takes courage, even if it turns out that it wasn't that much of a big deal. After what happened with the lions, she still doesn't trust him though, despite the slight improvement in her opinion of him.

Beck starts to doubt if the voice really was unbiased - he had to watch his words. What if this guy really just plays with them? What if number two was that pit of snakes he was talking about? Beck wonders if this guy was making jokes, like he said, or if he was telling the truth...

,,My knee got hurt and I might have some bruises, but in general, I'm Ok.'' Isaac was kind of a cool guy - Beck would hang out with him. ,,Thanks man,'' Beck responds to Isaac, as he compliments them on their way to number two. ,,You showed some bravery yourself too!''

As Beck gets himself a sandwich and some juice too, he's a little amazed by what's happening in front of him. Gabriel offered to go into the cave, which represented number two, and nobody really seemed to care - everyone thought it was fine. Well, who's Beck to protest against the majority of the votes?

Gabriel, seemingly unharmed, steps out of the cave again and tells them what he'd been doing there. Beck frowns. Gabriel must've got some kind of bonus, or extra objects or something. He didn't look frightened at all and he decided to keep secrets. Gabriel probably got something amazing. ,,So... that was all? We can pick a new number?'' The dialogue with the voice continued!

The voice starts humming the tune of Darth Vader when Gabriel reappears.

"Congratulations boy! You got a pretty good prize there. Bet people will like you now..." he snickers. "And yes yes you can pick a new number pretty boy."

During the time that Gabriel was in the tunnel, Dahsi had finished her sandwich and made some notes in her notebook about the others and the challanges. Then Gabriel comes back out of the labyrinth unharmed and Dahsi puts her thumbs up at him. The voice on the other hand is being very annoying again, but from the sounds of it Gabriel found something good, so she is very curious as to what he got. "You sure you don't wanna tell us what you got? I bet you would enjoy telling us" she says with a cheesy smile.

Once again she grabs the map as the voice confirms that they can once again move on to the next number. "Let's see... Well the next logical number is 9, I guess." She mumbles, while walking towards Beck. "Wat do you think?"

Zé also takes a sandwich. She not very hungry yet, but she's sure she would regret not eating now later. Everyone seems really relaxed as Gabriel enters the cave. Zé doesn't say anything to him, but she tries to follow his steps with her eyes for as long as possible. She's curious what he'll have to do and if he will survive.

She then looks at Isaac again, realizing that it's stupid to think she'd know what was going on in there by just looking at the fcking entrance of a cave. 'You didn't get hurt badly either, right?' she then asks him, realizing she's just talked about herself instead of showing some concern towards him too. He did take down a lion by himself, which was pretty impressive, she has to admit.

And suddenly Gabriel reappears, he didn't have to fight at all. No, he got a prize! Gee, things are quite unfair in this labyrinth it seems. 'Ah well, volunteering payed off, it seems,' she says with a faint smile to him, but not planning on actually thanking him. He was fine, he even got something out of it. Right now, she wishes she got to go into the cave, just to be able to know what it was he got. And off to the next number. '9 is fine,' she mutters, she doesn't really care about the map anymore. The would have to go to every number anyway, so what did it matter?
