Outside the Labyrinth

[it-bit-me.livejournal.com]

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!]

"Keep it," the Junk Lady said, pressing it into Scully's hands. "Keep all of it. Yes, yes. You can't walk away from these treasures. There's so much here. Isn't there, Dearie? Look, look. Everything you could ever want is here."

Not everything, insists the cold hard rational voice of her self in her head, and Dana takes a step back, regretful. Magic. You can't trust it. What if she did find the kind of thing she wanted to see here?

"No. No, I have to go. Thank you so much, but we're on a rescue mission. And I've already spent too much time here."

"Leave?" The Junk Lady stared at Scully again, appalled by the suggestion. "You can't leave! How can you leave all of this treasure! More where this came from! Don't you miss it? All of it is here, right here! You can't go with out it!"

"I have to," Scully said, insistent, and put down the god's-eye with a pang. She didn't let go of the book yet. Couldn't, just yet. "I couldn't carry it all with me anyway. Although I appreciate the thought." And she strode determinedly for the door.

"No!" the Junk Lady shouted, all her pleasantness gone. "You can't leave! Ungrateful! Unappreciative! How dare you turn your back on your treasures! No leaving! No one leaves!"

Scully turned, jaw set, and held up the book. "Is it a gift, or isn't it?" She thought of what her father would say, and put it down, eyes narrowing. "Please. Enjoy reading it. I have the important parts memorized, anyway."

--Because one did survive the wreck.

"Then go!" the Junk Lady screeched. "Get out! Filthy! Ungrateful! Who wants you! Can't appreciate treasure! Get out!"

The random objects she was hurling towards Scully's head may or may not be treasure. Scully probably didn't want to stick around to find out.
