016 - As The World Falls Down

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[There is a new arrival to the plane.

One that is quite large.

And expansive garden labyrinth has appeared, stretching as far as it is wide. The hedges are tall and well groomed, and it in all but impossible to see over any of the walls. Throughout the structure, there are many points to rest, ornately carved stone benches frames with flowers. Especially tuberose.

It is her favorite, after all.

At the very center sits Reinette on the wall of a stone fountain. Water flows from several wells within a stone Minotaur, coating its surface so that it reflects that distant lights of the Plane.

She is reading]

[Pollution's wandering around in the maze, examining the hedges with disgust]

More growing things.

[She continues to read, though the voice is heard quite clearly. She does not recognize it, and an eyebrow raises in subtle disagreement]

[He stops to look at the flowers around one of the benches, reaching out to take one. He smiles when it turns brown in his hand, and gently runs his hand over its petals.]

At least they don't last long.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[still listening, and she is not well pleased. Not at all]

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

If this can be here, I wonder what else can come... [He briefly considers breaking the pattern of the maze by killing some of the hedge, but decides he'd rather just walk, still idly playing with the flower he's holding.]

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

That is hardly my place to say.

[is the irritation evident in her tone?]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Waaaagh! Have a thoroughly disoriented 12 year old stumble into the centre after having been excessively lost for the last little while]

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[and Reinette calmly closes her book]

Are you quite all right?

[lamb_of_gold]

[Nods] This maze is enormous.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

It is challenging.

[she smiles]

I enjoy a challenge.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Nods his understanding, then wanders more into the centre, looking around curiously.]

Do you come here a lot?

[oilyhands.livejournal.com]

[Pollution pauses. He hadn't expected a response, but he certainly doesn't mind it]

What can you say, then? [He notes where the voice comes from — likely only a turn from where he is — and goes toward it, trying to imagine what the speaker looks like]

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

I can only take responsibility for what is mine.

[she has no problem with words]

Your education is your own responsibility.

[It's just barely come into existence and Deadpool's already lost in it]

...Now I just need my father screaming and running at me with a hatchet and the homage will be complete.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[from the center she hears him]

It is best he is not then.

Because if he were to damage my labyrinth with his ax, I would be forced to have serious words.

[a-pretty-fire.livejournal.com]

I can't get lost. I can always see the sky, no matter where I run.

[Unfortunately, Drusilla's temporary soul has had no effect on her coherency.]

Even the minotaur couldn't hide from the sky, or from what his blood told him to be.

[madamemoiselle]

{She could just cheat and jump them all, but no! She will play fair today. So Diva is running along the pathways, laughing every time she comes to a dead end, which is fairly often.

Did I mention she has no sense of direction?}

[mercwamouth]

Glad to see we have our priorities in order.

[smolderingdark.livejournal.com]

[Axel calmly strolls through the maze, whistling to himself.]

[contract_star]

[Hei is wandering rather idly through the maze, wondering where it came from. He has a pretty good sense of direction, so he's slowly making his way toward the center.]

[usagipino]

Haaa! [Sorry, Reinette, but have a Pino running through the maze, yelling and laughing at the top of her non-existent lungs. She makes sure to check absolutely every turn, corner and dead end, forming a mental map in her head almost unconsciously. She'll be able to find her way out almost instinctively, and she's making her loud and giggly way toward the middle.]

[Did someone say garden? 8D;]

[There is a little green snake emerging into the centre of the labyrinth (because he cheats and went through the hedges instead of through the maze).]

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Brigitta trots into the middle of the maze fairly promptly, because she's good at climbing and doesn't care much for pristine hedges. She spots the statue of the minotaur and turns her face away from it slightly but is still smiling] What a nice puzzle.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[she studies the new arrival with an accessing gaze]

Not this particular maze, no. But one much like it.

[ambitious-woman.livejournal.com]

[she almost laughs]

I would never wish to be accused of having none.
