Exploring! The maze! [open]

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Characters: Romeo, Molly, Tavros ?, Anyone else who wants to get lost in the maze! Or is in the maze already. The more the merrier!
Setting: Meeting at the steps about to go up to the maze
Format: anything you like!
Summary: Meeting to explore the next floor together, probably getting helplessly lost and scared. Hopefully they will emerge safely!
Warnings: not at the moment, probably fear based stuff, will keep updating

Romeo sat on the steps bouncing in excitment. He was waiting for Molly because they had agreed to go up to the next floor together! They were going to see what was up there, the other floors that had mysteriously appeared (Romeo had no idea how they had been built over night, he suspected magic) all had been really strange but fun and he was hoping the next floor wasn't boring.

He was wearing his superhero costume again, because you never knew when people might need rescued and exploring new places was a very heroish thing to do. He loooked around again wondering where Molly had got to.

The Doctor had been wandering around the Tower for some time now, investigating and doing his Doctor thing, when something caught his eye.

A child.

"Well, hello there! That is quite the costume you've got on. Very cool. Very heroic. I like it. Are you a superhero?"

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo jumped a little as the adult approached him, but most adults here were friendly and he smiled when the man complimented his costume. "Hello sir! Yes I'm a superhero!" He bit his lip, because pretending was all when and good but he knew he shouldn't lie, especially not to adults.

"Well I'm a pretend superhero, my friend Molly is a real superhero and a princess! But she said I could be a superhero prince when we played!"

[spacehipster]

The Doctor gasped.

"Pretend superheroes are just as good as the real thing. In fact, sometimes they're better. Of course, I may be a bit biased because I love playing pretend. I play pretend every single day, you know. I pretend and I pretend and I pretend until -- " The Doctor paused for dramatic effect.

"Until it becomes real."

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo found himself listening very carefuly to the mans words and at the end he grinned, his eyes wide. "Really? Is that a magic power you've got? Can you really make things be real just by pretending they are?" It sounded like a wonderful power to have!

[spacehipster]

"Well, anyone can do that really. If you believe enough. Of course, sometimes I help the process along a bit, yeah. I'm afraid I don't have any magic powers, though."

The Doctor smiled, but on the inside, his mind was buzzing. A child was here. A normal child. A child that was easily distingiushable as such. Someone was going to be in trouble for this.

"What's your name, Superboy?"

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

"But that doesn't work! Things can't be real just by pretending they are! In your head when you close your eyes they might be but when you open them again they are just pretend!" His smile was still there though, he liked this strange man.

"Superboys a funny name! My superhero name is the Bird Prince! But my real name is Romeo! What's yours?"

Hello child with a cat costume this was very relevant to her interests.

"What'cha doooiiinnn?" Nepeta asked, pretty much out of nowhere suddenly right next to the boy. She was a skilled huntress, after all. Stalking was her utmost specialty.

Romeo turned round at the voice and grinned when he saw it was a girl who looked about his age even if she did have horns and a tale, "Hello! I'm waiting for my friend Molly, we're going on an adventure!"

[furrociously.livejournal.com]

And it was nice to talk to someone her own age, even though he didn't have horns and was a silly pink color.

"What kind of adventure?" She perks up a little at this, grinning a cat like grin. She loved adventuring! She and her guardian Pounce used to go on long adventures together to find the fountain of cute. Nepeta was always in for an adventure!

"An awesome superhero adventure! We're going up there," Romeo pointed up the stairs, "I don't know what's up there because it only appeared today like the swimming pool and the forest and the spyglasses but I promised Molly I'd wait for her and we could explore. Do you want to come too?"

[furrociously.livejournal.com]

"Oohh! I'd love to come!" She bounced a little in excitement, peering up at the stairs. "Who knows what could be up there! I bet it's something fun and exciting!"

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo grinned a huge grin. "I bet it's something awesome! I can't wait!"

Because Ienzo needs to meet Romeo RIGHTNOW.

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

If there was one thing that Ienzo was good at, it was being quiet. And this isn't just being quiet by disposition (though he is quiet by disposition, so much); he is actually fairly knowledgeable in the art of sneaking around without being sound or heard. This is partly from his mysterious mental endeavor to be as completely unnoticeable as possible -- 'seemingly not even present at all' would be the goal here -- and partly from spending most of his time in libraries of some kind.

In any case, he was a very sneaky little kid. And today, he was using his sneakiness to ninja around the Tower without being seen by anyone he didn't want to. There had been new levels of the tower put in, apparently, and Ienzo had wanted to at least make a rudimentary map of the place, so adventuring the higher levels was his goal today.

Except the stairs were blocked.

By a boy.

"...Excuse me," he mumbled, slipping out from a shadowy corner of the room. "...Could you... move aside...?"

I AGREE (do you mind being dragged into main thread?)

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

It seemed like everyone wanted to sneak up on Romeo today, he smiled at the boy who was younger than him. Maybe even younger than Michealo had been. "Hello!" He said, sliding out the way like the boy asked.

"We're going up there in a second, if you want to come with us?" Romeo asked with a smile.


ooc: http://towerofanimus.livejournal.com/7408.html?thread=637936#t637936 for entering maze :D

Re: I AGREE (do you mind being dragged into main thread?)

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

"...Oh... are you?" Ienzo blinked. On one hand, it would probably be safer to travel in a group, knowing the perils and pitfalls of this odd bastion. On the other hand... well, Ienzo didn't like working with people he didn't know. Or even people in general. Awkwardness abound. "...Well... I..." His gaze dropped to the floor. "...I don't want to be a burden on you... Are you sure...?"

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo smiled kindly, he seemed like a nice person but very shy. Romeo wanted him to feel welcome. "You're not a burden, it's an adventure and adventures are better with lots of friends!"

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

"...F-friends?"

Okay, so normally he wouldn't look like QUITE such a derp when running across the concept of friendship. (Because seriously, it is an almost completely foreign concept to him. Living with a herd of scientists about three or four times your age does that to ya.) But at that moment he really couldn't help it.

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

Romeo nodded and grinned again, he guessed the boy must of not had many friends before, which was sad. "Yep friends!" Because even though the Doctor had told him the world hadn't ended there still wern't many other kids here and so they should stick together, "I'm Romeo! What's your name?"

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

+ OOC: I'm there! :3

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

[Molly comes running towards him, in her superhero outfit of course, and almost ends up running Romeo over]

I'm here!! Let's go! What are you waiting for!!

[with that, she enters the maze]

EVERYONE IN HERE!!!! Everyone who wants to enter the maze with them anyways!

[spiritsup.livejournal.com]

"Hey Mol..." But Molly was gone, Romeo turned to his new found friends. "That's Molly! Let's go!"

Re: EVERYONE IN HERE!!!! Everyone who wants to enter the maze with them anyways!

[spacehipster]

Right then! Let's get cracking!

why do I fail so much what is this three times now

[furrociously.livejournal.com]

[Omg this was gonna be so much fun.]

RAWR~!

[And she's charging right in after Molly, a big grin on her face.]

Inner Ienzo: WTF is going on here?!

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

Still somewhat unable to comprehend how he got himself into this, Ienzo quietly floated after Romeo. The others were being... dreadfully loud, so he made a mental note to attempt to tune them out while attempting to make sense of the newest floor. ...Though not completely. If he lost all track of them, it might not be easy to find his way back to the entrance.

This was going to be... interesting.

OOC: Skipping slightly ahead of the other tag thread because we all know Ienzo's gonna get dragged into this anyways.

best thread ever, I sense it already

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

Molly runs quickly into the maze and runs into a fork in the road, "WHICH WAY SHOULD WE GO?" she yells to the others in the back. She spins round and round trying to pick a direction.
