The Maze Runner (Role Play) discussion

The map makers meet here to plot and store their maps. A small room under the homestead filled with chests bursting with maps.

"Hello", said Eowyn walking into the Map Room.

From the stair leading to the Map room, Wendy suddenly enters. Her eyes dart around to find a pair of scissors.

"Hey," Alex said, smiling thinly. He looked tired.

Wendy smiled lightly, looking at Alex.

"Have you been up all night?" The Leader asked. "Because if you have, that's not good."

Then. in the of her eye, Wendy say a pair of silver scissors. She turned and snatched them and put them in the back pocket of her jeans.

"What are you doing," Alex asked, warily. "And yes. I was up til about five. New shank wanted his mommy. We got a glade to run, you and me, huh?"

"Yup, but after i cut off seven years worth of hair."

Wendy produced a goofy grin as she looked at her Fellow Leader. Knowing that she more of the..... Enforcer.... She was best known for being an ass and barking orders.

Alex smiled back at her. She was respected by everyone, but Alex was too, for being more sympathetic and thoughtful. But the kids still knew not to mess with him. He was strong, tough and smart, with a quick temper that sometimes got the better of him. After years of keeping it in check, he was generally calm and cool, the planner, the thinker. But when he blew, he really, really blew.

"Okay! I'll be back in... a few minutes? Then we can discuss the day's agenda." After a quick wink to her loyal friend. She turned and rushed up the stairs.

Finally returning, Wendy's long hair was now short and shaggy. the scar on her cheek was finally more visible to see, making her look more tough.

"Okay! what's the agenda today? The same?"

Alex nodded seriously.

"Yeah. Lena and the rest of the runners came back with a load of information. Eowyn, the map-maker keeper, has been working on mapping it out. Same as always. I've had at least five requests for a change of job from the Sloppers. I told them we couldn't."

Wendy tapped her chin.

"Hmm, just the norm, egh? My only priority is to get the list for the box done. So we can expect to get the proper supplies tomorrow."

Placing the scissors back on the counter, Wendy walks over and grabs a piece of paper and pencil.

"Any suggestions? I think the runners are loaded with enough weapons. But that's all i can think of."

Only a few things were written on the list.

List

-Clothing
-Food
-Water and other edible items
-More arrows for the armory
-Knuckle Claws
-Swords (Wendy's personal request)
-Dummies (Don't ask)

She handed the paper to Alex.

"Well? Write along then, what have the gladers been asking for?"

"Sammy the little Shank wants his mommy. The others want other completely random and stupid things that we can't give them. Well, I think backpacks and water bottles sound good for the Runners. Lena's request." Alex smiled at Wendy. "You want more scissors? We just have the one, right now. Oh, and I want a new hunting knife. The old one is blunt. Can't cut through butter with it."

"And can we request a way outta this dump?" Alex added, sarcastically.

Wendy chuckled lightly as she wrote down Alex's request. Accidently writing more scissors. But knew it would be a joke.

"Okay! Maybe i need to get you some duck-tape...." She added, then adding it on the list.

"Oh yeah, I'll be needing that," he teased. "To shut you up."

Wendy darts him a warning look, but then murmurs to herself until she folds it up.

"Okay! Were ready!" She said.

"Go ahead. You gonna take it down, or send one of the kids?" Alex asked.

He slumped back in his chair and stared at the ceiling, drumming his fingers agitatedly on the table.

"I hate elevator days," he moaned.

Wendy turned to the stairs until a boy, the age of fifteen, came into the map-room.

"Hey, Carl." She calls out, which the boy responds with a glance. "Take this note to the Box and throw it in there." She said.

Carl give a short nod and hurries off.

"Lazy," Alex laughed.

Suddenly the door flew open and Lena burst in, her eyes flaming. She was throttling a little kid as she dragged him across the floor.

Alex immediately recognised him as Stick, the most notorious troublemaker in the Glade. He swallowed down his irritation and turned to Lena.

"What now?" Alex snapped, shortly.

"He was--" Lena began.

"You know, don't bother. Just lock him in the Slammer." Alex sighed. When it came to Stick, he had no patience.

"Sound fair?" Alex growled, turning to Wendy.

"What the hell did he do this time! I swear, if he snuck into the girls part of the Homestead again..."

Wendy's knuckles turn to fist and show white tissue. Shew as angry as Alex.

Lena growled furiously.

"He's been stealing from other Gladers all week, but today he...he..." Lena trailed off breathlessly, holding up a shredded. "Eowyn is so going to kill him, if I don't get there first. So, he did sneak into the girls' section and stole her stuff, and she kinda beat him up about it... So he got revenge. But, guys, you can't ignore this. He. Destroyed. A. Map. Our life's work, blah, blah, blah? OUR WAY OUT OF HERE?"

Wendy looked at Stick on the floor.

"Is this true?"

Wendy took a few steps forward as the leader knelt in front of the kid. Her eyes narrowing in concern. "Answer me."

Alex jumped to his feet and placed a calming hand on Wendy's shoulder.

"Come on, Stick," he demanded, his voice soft and dangerous.

Stick had tears streaking down his cheeks. "Please don't kill me," he sobbed. "I'm sorry."

"What the hell would make you think i'd kill you?" Wendy asked Stick. "Just because i'm a girl doesn't mean i'd be pissed about that. But i must admit, pulling a trick like that made me laugh. But not the stealing part, that's cruel. Even i wouldn't do something like that."

Wendy then tilts her head, then clasping a hand on the small kid's cheek.

"Did you do these things that Lena claims you did? Don't lie to me."

Wendy's voice was now slightly soft, but low enough to put enforcement into her tone.

"He won't kill me either?" Stick whimpered, pointing at Alex. "He almost did last time. Or Alena or Eowyn."

Alex sat back and glowered at Stick.

"You're pathetic, you know. Well, I'm done with you. I ain't gonna kill ya, but I'm not going to stop Eowyn or Lena."

Stick sobbed chokingly. "I didn't mean to!"

Then his face cleared and he sat up.

"No one believes me," he muttered. "Alex is so kind, Wendy is fair and just. But I know what you really are. Monsters. All of you. Yes, I stole from Eowyn, yes I destroyed the map. Because none of this MATTERS."

He kicked out a the desk.

Alex was ready to lunge, but not at Stick. He was worried Wendy would explode. Alex thought through his chances of stopping her. Wendy would win flat out in a fight, but Alex was taller and stronger. Maybe he could...

((Hey, the mod thingy is over...congrats. Must go make you a mod ;) there was no need for a poll, lol))

((Yay! BTW, i'm trying to get some of my friends to join this group. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE!))

"Why you little."

Wendy knew that her caps had just been blown. Her hands molded into fist as she started to storm forward.

Lia wandered into the Map Room, "I'm sorry for interrupting. I can go if you want..." She looks at everyone, nervously.

Wendy stops and looks at Lia. SHe covering her enraged look.

"May i help you?"

"Not really, just this is usually where I hide out." She smiles lightly and motions around to the room.

"Well, we have a situation that needs to be resolved in private. This area is off limits till i leave." She said, then looked at Stick with a growl.

((BTW, Everyone in the glade calls Wendy "Ms. Mayhem"))

(Lia just says Miss, and Sir, she's polite like that. XD ) "Okay, Miss." Lia looked up and into Wendy's eyes, then walked out, sliding down against the wall, waiting.

Wendy only shrugs before looking at Stick. Then starts to walk forward.

Pissed off she was.

Eowyn stormed into the Maproom.
"Stick! Where are you, you evil little..." Stick stepped out of the shadows and whimpered when he saw Eowyn's face. Eowyn marched up to him and said, " you stole from me and ruined my map! my materials! How dare you?! You get two days in the slammer." Eowyn then punched him and walked out of the Maoroom. No one had ever seen Eowyn get so mad, she was usually very calm, but her maps were precious.

Lia watched Eowyn, apparently she didn't know about Miss's "No going in" rule.

What's the "no going in" rule?

Wendy turns to Eowyn and storms forward, then slamming her into the wall. Wendy curled wads of the girl's shirt in her hands.

"How dare you come storming inhere and calling shots!" she screams. "That is my job, Spuck. Not yours!"

Wendy knew she had officially blown, which wasn't a good thing.

Joya wrote: "What's the "no going in" rule?"

(Wendy says no one comes in until she goes out. She was ready to kill someone, so *Shrug* )

Eowyn shoved Wendy off of her and said, "hey, I'm sorry, but I bet you want Stick in the slammer as much as I do! He stole from me! And anyway, how am I supposed to know that that's you job?"

Lia sighed, and listened to everyone fight. What a good day this turned out it to be.

"Are you brain dead?! I'm the freaking Leader of the Glade, smart one! What the hell are you, a greenie!" Wendy yells, then pinning the gurl against the wall with her arms.

"I was going to take care of this by my own terms. NOT YOURS!"

With a final bellow, the leader grabs the gurl by the hem of her shiet and pulls her face to face.

"Understood?"

Not wanting to completely blow up, Eowyn took a deep breath, pushed Wendy out of her face, and stormed out of the room. She would deal with problem later, with a clear mind. All Eowyn knew was that the day was definitely not going well.

"Goodbye." Lia said as cheerfully as she could, watching Eowyn leave.

With a realistic growl, Wendy grudges.

"Bitch." she growls, then throws her hands in the air. "The nerve! Oh hell, can some please get me a glass of water?" She finally says, then tumbling into a metal chair. "Lia, can you please?"

Wendy knew that Lia was there the whole time, and she felt like an ass for blowing up in Eowyn's face. But she dis what ahe had to do.

Lia brought Wendy some water, "Here ya go Miss."
