RETURN OF THE SHENANIGANS, Wednesday

[captainskullpoopl]

There was no Anakin for the usual Wednesday madness this week. Maybe because he was spending well earned time with his family. Maybe because he was tied up in a closet. Maybe because Deadpool was also now under the Disney MegaCorp umbrella and the monopoly of entertainment was well under way.

"That got kinda dark," Wade said, thinking it over. "Accurate, but dark. Anywho! I'm in charge, so there are gonna be a few changes that won't last past this week. But for this week, I'm a god."

Or something.

"It's maze time because that one hit movie that don't really remember. You know. Boy Katniss. But that's only because there's no Bowie here to make it a different movie. R.I.P."

It might have been the island (it was the island), it might have been Wade being very industrious last night, but there was now a mini laybrinth waiting for everyone to try out. Complete with moderately dangerous traps. No minotaur, though. They were hard to book.

"Now, I know Skywalker likes teams, but this shit? This is a free for all to the prize at the center."

Wade stared at them for a moment before making a shooing motion. "Go. C'mon. Get going. Shoo."

Arrive and Mingle

[captainskullpoopl]

Worry about Anakin's well-being. You know. The usual.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[built_fjord_tough]

Fjord... was not worried about Anakin's well being, nah. But he was a little bemused about the whole situation. A maze, huh?

Sure, that seemed easy enough. Traps? He ate traps for breakfast.

... Actually no, he did not eat traps for breakfast. That would be weird. He'd had a peach for breakfast.

So, same thing.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[myownface]

Eh, Skywalker was a Jedi. He'd probably be okay. And even if he wasn't, Sparkle's ability to nurse a grudge for half a decade was a talent he held dear.

So he was totally quietly rooting for you, Deadpool, one Canadian to another.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

Vette looked at the little mini labyrinth and gasped.

"Oh, please! Please let there be traps!"

She didn't even care about finishing this one before anybody else. Vette! Needed! Traps!

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[intraspective]

"Because we needed another maze!"

It was surprisingly hard to get around the island, and now they had a maze to wander through?

Iris was... Iris was actually okay with that, despite her words.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[special_rabbit]

There was...a bit of a considering pause once Amaya learned what they were doing with today's activity.

"You think it's too late," she asked, to no one in particular, hitching a thumb over her shoulder, "to head on back and get the Crumbler for this one?"

It was honestly a little surprising she hadn't brought the Crumbler with her to take care of whatever she ran into on the way here, but she had been having suprisingly good luck with this whole maze thing.

And it probably really was just luck, but she liked to think it was because the constantly growing and changing maze around them knew that she would have absolutely no hesitation in doing something exactly like pitting the Crumbler against them.

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[died8yearsago]

No. Nope. No way.

Rosa had had enough of mazes, thank you very much, so she was just going to quietly turn around and slip away and pretend she'd never been here at a--

--and there was another wall blocking her way. "Ugh!" she said, balling up her fists and about two second away from punching that wall, but, thankfully, she wasn't so fueled with rage that she thought that was a good idea...yet. "This maze crap is such bullshit!"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[in_sidon_we_trust]

While everything with the mazes so far had made Sidon feel a little befuddled and turned around a lot, he hadn't had too much trouble with too much of it, going for the water if he needed to get somewhere fast and finding that a lot of the walls weren't particularly tall, at least not for him, so he'd been able to peek over a lot of them, which...helped, a little. Things still shifted and changed a lot for him, but it did make things a little easier.

So he was very pleased to see that the activity's walls were a bit higher, because he certianly loved a good challenge! And he hoped some of the traps involved water in some way, because those had the potential of not being traps, but treats!

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[howareyanow]

This week had already been testing Wayne's preconceived notions of not oly possessing an excellent sense of direction, but also the usefulness that would go along with several years of autumnal corn maze experiences. So he might have been a little miffed to find out that the thing he was hoping would be a nice departure from mazes wound up to be...more mazes.

"Fuck," he stated, "they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas with this one, aren't they?"

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[hashtag_chocobro]

"It's a maze....within a maze!" noted Prompto, with the sort of wide-eyed, giggling conspiracy theorist tone that proved that this whole maze thing was really starting to get to him on a really deep, trapped, claustrophobic, out-of-control, nothing-in-the-world-is-consistant sort of way that he was obviously burying deep, deep down in the maze of his gut.

His fingers made little explody motions at the side of his head, complete with sound effects, to emphasize the mindblowingness he was attributing to this little statement in an effort to make it seem like totally not a big deal at all, mazes were great, there was no way all this maze crap was going to get worse like everything else had this summer or anything, noooooooooo....

Just all totally fun and games over here! He was super glad to be back for this!

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[bookbeltof_love]

Nina was still pretty glittery from Prompto's glitterbomb and so she was surveying this whole maze thing with deep suspicion and also, like, actually wondering if Bus Dean was okay.

She hoped he was.

She liked Bus Dean.

So she was looking a bit pensive in all her sparkly glory as she waited for the thing to start.

Enter the Maze

[captainskullpoopl]

Don't even think about using a ball of string.

Re: Enter the Maze

[built_fjord_tough]

Fjord shrugged and made his way into the maze, no real plan in mind. Sure, he got himself turned around a few times, but that was sort of the point of these things, wasn't it? He just kind of rolled with it.

... And whenever he hit a dead end he didn't like, he climbed up and over. Fuck you, dead end.

Re: Enter the Maze

[myownface]

"Sure, this is totally not at all a suspicious situation even a little bit."

As if it hadn't taken Sparkle long enough just to get to the park for this thing in the first place.

At the very least, his paranoia would keep him going slowly enough not to accidentally spring any traps? He had that going for him.

Re: Enter the Maze

[chirpchirpchirp]

Why would Vette care about being first out of here? She wasn't looking for the prize so much as she was taking random turns here and there, looking for traps to disarm as she went, giggling to herself every step of the way.

In fact, when she rounded one corner and realized she'd inadvertently found the prize, albeit later than like nine other people, she slumped a little.

"Aw."

Could she go back?

Re: Enter the Maze

[intraspective]

Iris did not use a ball of string (she, uh, would not even know to think of that) and sure she could have gotten out of it sooner, but it was fun, the prize was probably trash, and she really saw no need to rush...

Re: Enter the Maze

[hashtag_chocobro]

There had, at one point, been a moment where Prompto got so frustrated with his constant attraction to some seriously confusing dead ends that he just sort of...laid himself down on the ground, arms and legs all spread out and closed his eyes, figuring that, maybe, when he opened them again, everything would have shifted like it had been outside this maze and he was, miraculously, suddenly transported to the goal at the center.

Cracking an eye open and seeing that he was exactly where he'd been before, he just sort of groaned and came to terms with just how disappointed he was that it didn't actually work.

And then since he was already there and already failing pretty miserably at this, he was just going to...stay there for a while. Maybe wait for someone else to show up and then just follow them or something.

This was...not his strong point, but he wasn't surprised, either. He usually got lost pretty bad in dungeons in video games, too, unless it was a team effort or he'd bothered to sketch out a map.

"The fuck is this thing."

The fuck. Was that thing.

"And why is it singing at me?"

Poor Fjord. Missed all the fish excitement last year.

Re: Celebrate Your Victory!

[myownface]

Sparkle sulked a little about being third, but took one look at Fjord's prize and broke out in laughter.

Okay, okay, he could live with being only mostly best, that was fine.

Re: Celebrate Your Victory!

[intraspective]

"That's the best prize! You should have said!"

Shit, did Fjord really want it?

Could she steal it from him?

Re: Celebrate Your Victory!

[died8yearsago]

"Ugh!" Upon arriving to the center of the maze, Rosa had exactly the same thing she had to say at the beginning of this nonsense. "This maze crap is such bullshit!!"

Which she really only said because she was fifth; if she'd have won, she would have been singing a different tune. But fifth was crap, fifth was garbage, and fifth was especially bad because she'd clearly been beaten by Blackstone, and that was the biggest bullshit of it all!

Re: Celebrate Your Victory!

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Sidon had thought he'd been doing a wonderful job, really, enjoying the maze and all its twists and turns and surprises a great deal, so he may have been surprised, once he finally managed to get out of it, to see soEveryone has made it! Excellent! How incredibly well done! Oh, that's just marvelous!"

All said without even a drop of irony or sarcasm. For he truly was the prince of the Zora and of being a completely gracious complete loser.

Re: Celebrate Your Victory!

[howareyanow]

Okay, sure.

Sure, okay.

So mebbe going through that made with the sheer determiation to not get even a speck of glitter on him wound up taking a whole lot more time than Wayne had anticipated.

And mebbe it hadn't even entirely worked, because he definitely emerged with a whole new shirt needing to be burned (although, to be faiiiiiirrrrrr, that was from more than just glitter, because now there was a stench to it, and don't even get him started on the particular way it looked like it had been a bit shredded and ripped, either).

But....BUT...

...at least he wasn't last.

OOC

[captainskullpoopl]

Fuuuck this holiday. I have so much work on my desk.

Re: OOC

[2_old_for_this]

I totally have a minotaur.
