Sam Taylor

Sam starts to smile slightly when the Voice answers his question. He glances at Dahsi, when the Voice says something about her, but he doesn't think they really need to worry about it. He has a feeling they're almost there. "Alright, I might be right about this, then.. How many questions have we used? Three, right? Meaning we have twenty-two left. Should be enough." He clears his throat and wants to ask a new question, when Beck's voice is heard from the walky-talky. It startles him slightly, but he quickly forces himself to recover. Wait, did he just call himself Becky?

His mouth falls open slightly at the words of the other boy. He can't really picture the situation, but he doesn't like snakes one bit. The end of Beck's story is a bit.. well.. tragic. And Sam stares at the walky-talky for a bit, until he realizes he should confirm that everyone is still alive. "Eh.. Beck? Hi. We're all alive, so.. Oh, we got a riddle to solve and if we fail, Dahsi will probably die." Well, that sounded morbid. "But.. Don't worry! We're about to solve it!" He kind of wants to facepalm because of himself right now. "Er.. Yeah.. Good luck with those snakes.. I guess.." He coughs. "Er.. Over.."

He thinks for a moment, then holds the button again. "Beck? Don't die.."

'He had to jump overboard?' Zé says startled, blinking once or twice. 'Wow, sounds like something they'd let us do in here.' And just when Zé is feeling victorious -they had only used 3 questions so far and they were almost there already- the voice starts threatening Dahsi. 'Don't worry Dahsi, I'm sure we'll solve it,' she shouts to her. Sam doesn't look uneasy either, which practically means there's nothing to worry about at all. Really, if Sam isn't afraid, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

'Gabriel, any thoughts?' he was awfully quiet and Zé actually starts thinking he might be on the side of the organization or something. So far, Gabriel was never put in any kind of danger. He went into that cave, and he received something. The walky-talky suddenly starts making noise. It's Beck. And he calls himself Becky. Zé can't help but laugh. That's almost as bad as Zenobia. And it turns out she's lucky to be in this part of the group. They get the thinking challenge, not the jump into a pit filled with snakes one. It's actually a little bit cute that Sam says to Beck not to die.

'Alright, so, we're making real good progress here,' she says with a smile to Sam. 'The air balloon was dropping, so they had to lose some weight, ergo the clothes,' she repeats what Sam had suggested. 'Maybe he had to jump for the same reason? That would be pretty cruel, though. But I guess nothing's too cruel in this place, and this one is just a story...'

Sam Taylor

Sam is still slightly confused because of his own words, but he forces himself to recover fast when Zé starts to talk to him. He returns her smile and nods. "Probably. I'm not sure how long the story is supposed to be, but if this is it, we're practically there. Unless there's a story before the guy actually had to leave the air balloon, apart from him taking off his clothes, we only need to figure out the last part, right?" He bites his lip and looks up at Dahsi. He should probably just ask a new question. They had enough left and this task shouldn't take hours. They are so close!

"Alright, so.. Why did he have to jump overboard?"

Carrick_Fergus · Beginnend Tovenaar

Gabriel knows he hasn´t said much in the last couple of minutes, but that really doesn´t mean he doesn´t want to help. So the one who picked the shortest straw had to jump overboard, that could mean that the one on the mountain had picked the shortest straw, but still. What if they were hovering high above the mountains, and as that man on the mountain jumped out of the air balloon he would never survived that, but still he´s holding the straw on the mountain.

’But wouldn’t he be like dead or have atleast some broken bones, because I think jumping out of a air balloon doesn’t get spared unscathed. But yet he’s still holding on to that straw, so that also could have some meaning’ he says. Then Sam asks the question about why the man had to jump overboard.

Sjar · Citizen of the World **Woonplaats:** At ALL the parties.

These kids are asking some very good questions. Seems they're getting closer to the story.

"He had to jump, because the air balloon was to heavy and they would both crash into the mountain." She answers

Margo · Professor **Woonplaats:** Mystic Falls

Zenobia Meridian

'I think we're almost there,' Zé says happily, when she hears the answer. 'He just had to jump, even before they reached the mountain! That's pretty cruel.' She looks at both Sam and Gabriel. 'What d'you think? I believe we've got it all. 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, 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. Pretty heroic.'

Right, that should sum it up, but maybe to make sure, she'll ask one last question. After all, they still had numerous questions left. 'What else did they throw out of the air balloon before he jumped out if it?'

Sjar · Citizen of the World **Woonplaats:** At ALL the parties.

The voice isn't very happy. These kids were way too quick in getting the right story.

"They threw out everything, including sandbags, clothes and food," is her answer.

xMissme · Volleerd Tovenaar

,,Keep up the good work,'' Beck mutters, as he hears the problem Sam and the others got in to. ,,And thanks,'' Beck says as Sam wishes them good luck. Well: they needed it. Sam then ends the conversation, until he suddenly asks Beck not to die. Beck rolls his eyes. Ok, Beck had to admit, blushingly, that Sam was sweet, but this was just overdramatic. ,,I won't. Just make sure Dahsi survives... Over...?'' Beck hated that word. 'Over'.

Isaac amazes Beck by being able to throw that rope around one of the treetops on the other side. It didn't really look to Beck like a safe way over the pit, but since he just stated he should've gone into the pit first, Beck thought he should be the one going over the pit first as well. ,,I'll go,'' Beck says. ,,Make sure I don't fall,'' Beck says, smiling at Isaac. ,,Can you bind the rope on to something on this side of the pit?''

Sam Taylor

Sam listens quietly to Gabriel and Zé. After the answer to Zé's question he's pretty sure they have the story. Pretty much. There's just something that's bothering him. "Maybe I'm being stupid, since this is just a story, but I don't understand why the other guy left him there and moved on. I mean, why didn't they just land, put their clothes back on and try to get home or whatever. I know it's unrealistic and fiction, but if they threw out all their stuff, there isn't much to travel with anymore. So the other guy decided to just go on alone, naked, without food, sandbags, anything."

He frowns. "Is there anything we missed or do we have to tell you the story now?" He asks, a bit nervously.

Skywalker · Schoolhoofd

Isaac goes ahead and proves just how far his incompetence reaches. He just KEEPS on missing the tree, and Ivy starts to wonder if maybe Isaac isn't aiming for the tree at all. Maybe he's aiming for a nicely shaped cloud. Ivy's getting tired of standing and staring at Isaac making a fool out of himself, but eventually, he succeeds at the ridiculously easy task. And look at that - he sounds proud of himself. Dislike pours from Ivy's eyes. What a complete, complete moron. The only way Isaac could possibly win, is if everyone else decides to kill themselves.

Meanwhile, Sam dramatically tells Beck not to die, and Ivy feels the strong urge to close her eyes and massage her temples. What on earth is going on here? Is Blondie hot for Beck? That's just wonderful. Ivy is pretty sure that Beck will use this to his advantage, and Ivy just kind of thinks damn it, Blondie, because she wishes the naive bastard would be smarter about his desires~.

Beck re-volunteers to go first and he asks Isaac to tie the rope around something on their side of the pit. Ivy immediately realizes that Isaac is an idiot and probably couldn't tie his shoes to save his life. So she walks up towards Isaac and gently takes the rope from him. "I'll tie it," she says sweetly. She quickly glances at Reese to convert her current deep annoyance towards Isaac, before she crouches down and ties the rope tightly around a boulder that looks pretty unmovable. She gets up, smirks at Beck, and sits down on the boulder.

"Good luck, Becky," she says. "And leave the walky-talky here, will ya? Just in case you don't make it."

xMissme · Volleerd Tovenaar

Ivy shows herself to be nice enough to take Isaac's job from him. She ties the rope to some boulder and then sits down on it. Beck frowns as she asks him to give her the walkie-talkie. He didn't really want to give up his 'guardian angel' - the thing that made him - at least for the others - a bit useful. But Ivy was, on the other hand, right that he should be it to her, (or someone else fot that matter). ,,Sure,'' Beck complies.

Before Beck hands it over to Ivy, he speaks in the walkie-talkie, to inform Sam: ,,Hey Sam? I'm going over the pit first and to avoid losing contact with you guys, I'm giving the walkie-talkie to Poison Ivy here, OK? Over -'' Beck then throws it to where Ivy sits.

,,I'll be of then...'' Beck thinks of the best way to get over the pit. He figures it'd be to heavy for his arms alone to carry his whole weight. Thus, Beck grabs the rope with his arms, tests it before he actually hangs on to it, and then swings his legs around the rope. Holding his hands above his head, he slightly pulls himself along the rope. Now and then he looked down, into the pit of full of snakes. If he'd fell, he'd definetely be dead. Beck realized that this was probably one of the most dangerous things he'd ever done (perhaps except for the lions), but it also gave him a kick.

Beck calmly goes on, pulling himself with his hands, placed one by one further on the rope. Eventually, he reaches the other side. Because the rope was thrown around a tree, it went up slightly; Beck swings his legs off the rope, watches down, and then releases himself. With a pop he lands on the other side of the pit. A bit relieved, Beck sighs. At least he was over. ,,Who's next?'' Beck shouts daringly to the other side.

Sjar · Citizen of the World **Woonplaats:** At ALL the parties.

Apparently they weren't very fazed bij the story, as it seemed to be simple enough.

"You can tell the story at any given time. But it will cost you 5 questions if it's wrong!"

Alice · Lid Wikenweegschaar **Woonplaats:** Rapture

Sam Taylor

Sam frowns at the reply from the voice and suddenly feels nervous. He was pretty sure about the answer, but if it was wrong.. They'd only used five questions up until now, so losing five more wouldn't be that bad, but he's terrified to mess it up. So he turns to the other two for help.

"Zé, Gabriel.. What do you think? Should we just.. you know.. Go with the story we currently have or do you have additional questions we could ask?"

He's startled - once again - by the sound of Beck's voice. That boy really had a voice you couldn't ignore. He stares at the walky-talky. Apparently the thing was going to Ivy, because Beck was going to cross the pit with snakes. He grins at the nickname for the girl, though. It was a good one.

He decides there's no need to reply and turns his attention to Gabriel and Zé again, waiting for their opinion. He's not going to make this decision by himself.

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

Beck volunteers to go first, it seemed to Isaac this boy was full of surprises. He didn't really want to let Beck go first. If something would happen, if he would get hurt. Beck didn't deserve something like that. Ivy on the other hand...

Before Isaac can do anything with the rope, Ivy takes it with a sugary sweet smile. Was she really thinking that Isaac would think her smile was genuine ?
She gets it under a boulder and sits on it. Clever it was, but Isaac could’ve done that just as good.

Becks rope-climbing-skills were actually pretty good. Then it's someone else's turn. Isaac didn't want to go yet. He wanted Ivy alone and have a little talk with her. He thought she could be useful. "Well Reese, why don't you go ? " he asks her with a smile.

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

Apparently the others approve of Reese's idea. There is a discussion about who will make the lasso and throw it, but Reese doesn't bother participating. She's done enough, for now - and besides, she feels more comfortable in the background. It gives her a better overview of things.

Meanwhile, Beck contacts Sam via the walky talky, per Ivy's suggestion, and then seems to awkwardly flirt with Sam. Reese raises an eyebrow but doesn't say anything, instead watching as Isaac tries - and fails multiple times - to throw the lasso to the other side. Reese snorts. For all that the others like to make Isaac look like the hero of the group, it's quite obvious to Reese that he's fairly useless. That doesn't mean that he couldn't be a threat, when cornered, but it does mean that Reese is starting to really dislike him and the hypocrisy surrounding him.

Anyway, Beck volunteers to go first and Ivy takes the rope from Isaac to tie it around a boulder, while she shoots a look at Reese that is clearly meant to convene her annoyance towards Isaac. Reese gives her a 'tell me about it'-look and gives a nod to Beck when he starts climbing.

Beck soon reaches the other side, looking like he got a kick out of it. Isaac suggests that Reese goes next. Reese gives him a long, level look - she's sure that he's up to something, or he wouldn't be suggesting it. Ivy can take care of herself, though, she tells herself.

"Sure, why not?" Reese says with an easy smile. "See you on the other side." She pulls herself up on the rope, throws her legs around it and climbs to the other side with a quiet efficiency. Reese knows better than to look down and instead focuses on the rope, and climbing.

She reaches the other side sooner than she expected. Nonchalantly, she swings her legs down and then lets go of the rope, landing on the ground with a soft thud. "Hi," she says casually to Beck, and then yells towards Ivy and Isaac: "Next one!"
