Into The Labrynth with no_wait_gold

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[Remus, very suddenly, finds himself in a dim corridor of glistening stone

in an instant his wand is in his hand, and he's whispering the shield charm; only then does he give himself time to observe his surroundings]

This is different.

{Booster also appears in said corridor, but with his mask off (though his icons will say otherwise)}

...Uh.

Shit.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[his head jerks to the side - and he blinks]

...Booster?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

Oh, what's up, Remus! Well, that's better than the Riddler, or something. Guess you haven't seen me without the cowl, huh?

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

Er, no. You look - well, not that different, actually. [his voice is calmer now, relaxed, but his body is still tense, and the shield is still up]

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

{What? But cowls make people totally unrecognizable! Shame on you, DC}

Huh, really?

...Well, point is, don't tell anyone, alright? It's kind of important that no one knows what I actually look like. It'd be kind of bad if that get around.

[the goggles, they do nothing

but he nods]

My lips are sealed. Hopefully we don't run into anyone else. [pause] I could alter your appearance for you, just in case.

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

...Nah, it should be good. None of the guys and...girl here are really going to be able to figure out who I am. It's just a habit.

{Looking around} But...uh, do you know what this is? It looks like a maze, but really? That's weird, even for this place. Very Riddler.

[slight nod] I know what that's like. Secrecy becomes quite ingrained, after a while.

[and then shakes his head] I'm as baffled as you are. ...Do you suppose he has something to do with it?

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

I doubt it. I really don't think he could make a maze out of the...Plane stuff.

{He floats into the air} But hey, with any luck, it'll be easy as flying out of here. I bet it won't, though.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[he looks up, plainly impressed] Well, it can't hurt to - well, it might, but you may as well anyway.

[a pause, as his brow furrows, and then] Well. Apparating - teleporting - doesn't work so far.

{Learning from similar previous endeavors, Booster does not fly straight up at full speed, but instead reaches out as he nears the top of the walls. Yep, there's an invisible wall.}

Flying's no good either. Looks like we get to walk. Too bad I don't have Skeets. He could probably figure out a better way to go than me.

{He lands} Speaking of, is it that you're always supposed to go right in a maze? Or is it left?

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[files that name away to ask about later] I...don't think it matters, as long as you're consistent. The normal rules might not apply, though.

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

Probably. But it's somewhere to start, right?

{And Booster starts walking} Uhh, let's go with right. That sounds good.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

Why not? [follows along, finally relinquishing his shield, though he keeps his wand held high; he doesn't need it at the moment, and it's draining energy]

[no-wait-gold.livejournal.com]

{walking walking walking let's have some brotalk}

Weird stuff like this aside, , the Plane is pretty great, isn't it? If most of them didn't hate me, I would say that it has a really great selection of women. They could even contest Power Girl in.....personality.
