Outside the Labyrinth

It seemed the time for research and planning was through. In Jareth's address to the island, he gave them twenty-four hours to traverse a Labyrinth that seemed to change on a whim in order to take back the friends that he had stolen.

Team Distraction was entering first. Anyone with as much power as this Jareth seemed to would probably have some nasty surprises in store. They'd go in ahead of the second group to spring as many traps as they could while the other team ghosted in and headed directly to the castle.

Well, that was the plan, anyway. Let's see how long things went as smoothly as our would-be heroes would like.

[For the members of Team Distraction, please! If you want to RP out how the teams were formed and decided, there is a place to do so here! Wait for OCD or the biting fairies will get you OCD ready to go!]

Meet up, plan, check to make sure you have some supplies. You'll be camping out in the Labyrinth tonight.

Leia wasn't use to roughing it, but she had a feeling she'd better get used to it for the future. She just hoped whatever was making people's powers not work right in the Labyrinth wouldn't affect her blaster as well, because there were some obnoxious goblins that needed shooting inside.

This was probably the first time since coming to Fandom that Jason was grateful he didn't have to rely on powers to fight. After hearing Jareth's message, there was no way he'd have been able to sit inside and do nothing. He hadn't gotten into costume, but he had brought his utility belt, figuring that made him as prepared as he could be. When he saw Leia, he gave her a small smile. "You look ready to take on a kingdom," he said in greeting.

"I'm just happy to finally have something I can do," Leia said, nodding in greeting to Jason. "The waiting was driving me crazy."

"Me too. Sitting in the dorm and hoping things will be okay isn't exactly my style," Jason admitted. "And I figured I should be out here for the folks who would be here, but can't do anything right now."

"You know how to handle yourself in there?" Leia asked. He didn't have a weapon as far as she could see.

"I wouldn't have shown up if I didn't, trust me," Jason said with a nod. "I'd ask you the same thing, but you seem like someone who can hold her own." The girls here were all a little scary like that.

"I'm counting on this working like it's supposed to in there," Leia said, flashing him a grin and holding up her blaster.

"That's more than a regular gun, huh?" Jason said. "I hope it works too. It's sucked to not have people's powers to rely on. I didn't realize how much I'd gotten used to those kinds of things."

"It's a blaster," Leia said. "And I'm an excellent shot. Which those goblins already found out the other night."

Now if only she had a shield against their stupid rocks. Well, it might make her appreciate Ewok tech more in the future.

Rinoa was here. Here, and determined. She was a Sorceress. It didn't matter if she couldn't access her powers. She was still a Sorceress, and that meant something. Namely, that no bastard in tight pants was going to kidnap her Knight.

She had, however, volunteered to be the distraction team. Because getting too close to that guy again was just asking for trouble.

She checked her supplies again and looked around at the rest of the group.

(I know she tagged into the preplay -- this is here for anyone who wants to chatter before we go in.)

'Dite had realized quite a while ago that her powers were wonky. That didn't mean she still didn't try to zap in a chair to sit on before sighing and dropping down on a large stone.

"Stupid goblins, stupid Jareth-guy, stupid tight pants. They probably cut off the flow of blood to his brain, the -- oh." She glanced at the young woman beside her. "Sorry." 'Dite squinted. The woman actually looked more like a teenager. Karla's age, maybe. "You okay?"

"I'm fine," Rinoa said, not sure if she believed it, but her voice at least sounded steady. "And he's probably compensating. Anyone needing to show off that much probably stuffs."

Seifer had never felt the need to -- okay, he'd felt the need to brag, but not walk around in pants that looked like shrink-wrap.

"We're getting them back. Right?"

"Darn right we are!" She thumped her sword on the ground. "No one takes my friends without my permission." 'Dite thought about that, then waved it away. "You know what I mean." She hoped.

"Hi. I'm 'Dite. And I'll bet you're right, he stuffs." She grinned evilly, then muttered. "But I still have bigger ones at my shop." And hoped Rinoa didn't hear that last line.

"Rinoa Heartilly," she said, offering a hand. "I wish we were meeting under better circumstances."

There were all sorts of better places to meet people. And better times, when Rinoa wasn't wishing she could kill things with her mind.

Or, worse, worrying that she could.

"I know what you mean," she said. "They took my Knight. They're going to be very sorry they did."

She would have come for him anyway, but saying it like that made it sound more intimidating. She hoped.

"A Knight?" 'Dite only knew one kind of person that had knights. "Are you a princess?"

It made sense. Karla was a queen, although not royal. Which still tripped her up once in a while, but hey. "They took my friend, Karla. She works at the store for me. And I totally agree about the sorry part. That they will be, I mean."

"A Sorceress," Rinoa said, with the same slight hesitation she always had. Except no one here knew what that meant, and so no one here feared that. It was silly to think they would. "Karla's a friend, as well. We'll get her, too. I promise."

She didn't know how, yet. That didn't stop her from promising.

"A sorceress!" Well, 'Dite didn't know what that meant in Rinoa's world, but she knew what it was here. She also sensed Rinoa's hesitation there. "Are you a good sorceress or a bad sorceress?"

Then she snickered. "This is good. The sorceress and the goddess have to team up to save the witch. Oh, Karla will never live that down!" 'Dite would never let her.

Katniss was born for this. Or at least, had trained heavily for this exact sort of thing. Her bow was slung over one shoulder, a backpack beneath it, and she was quietly -- but competently -- checking each of her arrows.

Firekeeper and Blind Seer had seen their own fair share of seiges- from both sides- and so they stood beside their roommate, doing much the same. Or at least, Firekeeper was. Blind Seer had no need for arrows, and his fangs and claws were always ready.

Bruce was happy that he checked the effectiveness of most of the tools in his utility belt last week. This way he had complete confidence in his abilities and his equipment as he hung around the edge of the group. Because of course he couldn't just dive into the middle of the group.

This was actually entirely normal for Jaina by now. She had her lightsaber on her belt and a small pack of what she considered to be the essentials, with a few extras of things because it was hard not to wonder whether everyone would have thought of them. So sue her, she thought of things like the fact that she was traveling with studnts now.
