Class 7: A Field Trip

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

Jareth walks into the classroom looking like he means business. He's dressed in black leather with spiky bits, matching gloves, and a shiny black walking stick.

"Attention!

"All students who have turned in their permission slips, line up here." He strikes the ground in front of him, then turns and opens the classroom door.



"Well? What is everyone waiting for?"

He leads the way through muttering something that ends with, "...should never have gotten that far."

He stops abruptly once everyone is through, and raises an eyebrow at the door, which closes and is not there any more, if anyone cares to look behind them.

"All right. The labyrinth is not a fuzzy place full of happy, playful things. Everything is a trap. Do not cuddle the fairies, do not pet the goblins, do not touch the walls and do not stray from the group. Does everyone understand?"

He waits, watching the students. When there have been sufficient signs of understanding, he continues, "Now, everybody pick a partner. Hold hands. If, by some misfortunate circumstance, you become lost or separated from the group, call my name. I will be along eventually to fish you out of whatever oubliette you've fallen into.

"This way." He turns and starts walking, setting a very brisk pace through passage ways guarded by high brick walls. Everything sparkles. Eventually, topiary starts to show up, and a little while after that, the topiary seems to become one with the walls.

"We are approaching the hedgemaze. Keep your mouths shut in case the door guards are awake. We'll never get them to shut up again once we wake them."

He walks several more feet, stops so fast the class almost runs into him (whichever unlucky student is up front) and spins around. "I have to go...attend to something," he says. "Stay here and try not to move." Then he walks around a corner, out of sight. If any one peeks around it, they will see a dead end in the hedges, and no Jareth.

[ooc: okay, do what you will! And if any people are on at 9 pm pacific, we can roleplay some of this in real time--that's four hours from now when I will next have internet access.

ETA: There's going to be dance number. Oh, yes.

ETA2:The field trip part 2 will be posted later tonight for the players that haven't gotten lost...yet :D If you have, carry on, until (or even IF) you call Jareth to come get you. Neither of these have a time limit, considering how bad I've been about posting in a timely manner. It's all borrowed playing time, anyway, so assume you'll be back slightly worse for the wear, at the exact time you left.]

Draco looks at the Labyrinth. It reminds him of the maze from the Tri-Wizard tornament. You know...the one where someone ended up dead. He shakes the thought out of his head. After all, it was his master that did the killing. He waits to find a partner.

Draco takes her hand.

"Well this should be interesting, eh?"

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

As Paige is the first to enter she stands next to Jareth, she doesn't have the bandage on anymore, which she guesses has something to do with him

Once he's gone Paige looks around and bites her lip

*checks exits*

*the vanishing door back to the classroom has him incredibly nervous.*

*looks over the group for a potential partner.*

::Looks around nervously and sees that the way back is gone. Tries not to freak. Feeling incredibly out of her element, she looks around for somebody to partner with and sees Han::

Uh, hey handsome, wanna be partners?

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Sure.

*offers his left hand*

You still got a raincheck out from zombie night, too, gorgeous. Any time you want to cash it in, I'm game.

*Callisto looks somewhat ruffled almost as if she'd been blipped to class whilst in the middle of a catfight with somebody infected by an evil alien parasite with a god complex, wiping what looks suspiciously like blood from what looks suspiciously like a split lip, she looks for a partner*

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus gives Callisto a look. He imagines his face carries a similar expression to hers, which is "Surely there's somebody else we can partner with... and yet comparatively I like you more than goblins."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

*gingerly*

Partners?

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Looking incredibly rushed, Angelus shows up for the field trip.

[brandnew-world.livejournal.com]

Hotaru shows up as well, looking around. She transforms, holding onto her glaive tightly as she looks for a partner.

Harry walks up, takes a look at the labyrinth. "Haven't I been here before?"
He waits for a partner.

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

"You've only been in a cheap imitation." Jareth looks distainful. Nothing compared to the Labyrinth.

[soldtoarmenians]

Xander glances around warily. Hold hands? With half the people in this class, that might be as dangerous as wandering off naked into the hedge-maze with his eyes closed and a sign around his neck reading "Get it here."

[harried-potter.livejournal.com]

Hey, Do you want to be my partner? I'm safe. Just hold my wrist, oay?

[kikidelivers.livejournal.com]

Seeing that Harry already has a partner, Kiki glances around the group again.

Susan, looking distracted, joins the field trip. If she gets separated, she can just whistle and bring Binky by for a ride or something.

[brandnew-world.livejournal.com]

Saturn peers at Susan. "Do you want to be partners?" she asks, fidgeting with her glaive.

Wesley joins the class, permission letter clutched in hand.

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

You're in time. Have you found a partner?

[ooc: aw, I can so see Wesley running up, looking nervous]

Re: forgot

[jareth-the-king.livejournal.com]

[ooc: ha, from something in game, or for real?]

We're going on a field trip, Mr. Pot.

[sunny-skyes.livejournal.com]

Queen Minnie sent the permission slip with a mote attached that the "chosen of the Keyblade was not to be harmed." Sora wsa so embaressed... she ever dotted her 'i's with little hearts. He reluctantly turned in the permission slip and joined the rest of the group looking to see who didn't have a partner yet.

[ooc: hahahaa. Just like high school. Mummy loves her boy]
