The Maze Runner (Role Play) discussion

This is where the new Gladers, or "Shanks," are received. There is usually a group of Gladers, with the exception of the Runners waiting when the elevator arrives.

Seven Years Ago

Dark, Cold, Metal... wait, Metal? What the hell is with the metal? The girl patted the cold metal underneath her butt and legs. multiple things ran through her mind and, which of course, were bad things.

the sound of gears in work and the power of moving upward rushed threw her system. The feeling made her light headed and unsteady.

Who the heck am i? What, wait...

The girl flies her hands to her chest, then squeezing her boobs. a small expression of understanding gestures flow on her face.

Okay... i'm a girl... A-And my names is... What the hell?

As the girl looks up, the squeaking of the gears stopped, then blinding light seeps through the top if her, revealing her surroundings. The area around her ways a box.

the girl then moves her hands from her chest to her face, she glides her hand along the surface of her face. She feeling like there is something there that reminds her of who she is..

then, on her cheek, a scar is felt underneath her finger tips. A few things start to fly threw her mind. things like fighting, calling people nasty names, the ruthless person she was. A small smile crawls onto her face..

My- My name is Wendy...

((Just to post this here so everyone can see :) ))

Alex stands at the elevator and remembers when he arrived at the Glade, seven years ago. Seven years, four months and six days. He had never stopped counting.

But that was a long time ago. He pitied the next person to come through the elevator. The next poor kid whose life was about to be ruined.

((Pst, want to RP?))

Sure! Sorry, I was busy for a while... ;)

Ah, it's okay. Wendy left the Homestead and is heading to the map room to find scissors. Be warned that Wendy is wanting to cut her hair, so it's long right now.

Suddenly, the elevator opened and Alex was running again, offering a hand to the person inside. As he pulled...her out, he noticed something incredibly familiar about her thin, drawn face and pale blue eyes.

He turned to Wendy, wondering if she saw it too.

Then the girl spoke.

"I--I don't remember..." She moaned.

"Yes, that's normal," Alex said, gently. "Welcome to the Glade. What's your name?"

"B-Britney," the girl stammered. "I think I'm here to...I mean, I'm looking for my brother."

Alex felt a sense of dread, but soldiered on.

"What's his name?"

"That's easy," Britney said. "His name is Stanly."

"Stanley...... who?" Wendy asked as she walked over, offering a hand.

"Johns," Alex said.

Everyone looked at him.

He looked stricken.

"Her brother...Wendy, her brother wa--is Stick."

Alex summoned the nearest Glader who gave him a smile and Wendy, after some consideration, a salute. Alex spoke to the girl quickly and the girl replied with a few words and a shake of her head. Then Alex instructed her to show Britney around. When Britney was gone, he ran a hand through his already tousled hair and sighed.

"No one has seen him since he left the map room. Wendy...there's not much we can do. I'll send Lena and the runners out, but we can't risk our runners, for STICK of all people... Poor Britney. If we don't find him, she'll have nothing more than a pile of bones for a brother by morning."

"Dear god.. This is my fault.." she says, running hand threw her now short hair. "i made the kid piss his pants."

(GTG)

Alex suddenly kicked out at the nearest tree and the wood splintered beneath his shoe. He kicked it again and again until some of the anger and worry burned off and the roots of the tree were a mess of splinters.

"Wendy. I HATE this. Why does nothing ever work out? We solve one problem by starting a new one," he fumed. "I am sick and tired of that stupid kid, and now we have to get him back so his sister doesn't start Glade War One on us."

Alex looked down at Wendy through his burning eyes, but the rage was fizzling out, returning them to their calm, sapphire blue.

"So." He cleared his throat. "What do we do about it?"

Lia finally spoke up, after being here the whole time. "If he's smart enough, he'll make it. Lay out some food, and trap him." She shrugged.

Alex jumped about two feet in the air and shoved his hair out of his face with his hand.

"Oh, God. Um, I mean hi! Have we met? I'm Alex. Um...how long have you been here?" He stammered.

Lia smiled, "The whole time. I just followed after Wendy, we were talking before. I'm Lia."

"Oh," Alex was embarrassed, and felt his cheeks flushing as he surveyed the damage at his feet. "Hi, Lia. Are you...new to the Glade? Have you met Wendy?"

"I've been here about a year now. Most people don't know that though." Lia smiled, "Yeah, I've met Wendy."

Alex chewed his lip before speaking. He towered over Lia and was about twice her size. He smiled. "So you heard everything. Can I--we--trust you, Lia? Will you please not tell anyone, because this is kind of important and...there could be big problems if you tell. Which you probably heard about two."

Suddenly Alex smacked his forehead. "Are you...Eowyn's friend? Fellow Keeper of the MapMakers? Or is that...?"

He hoped he was right. He made an effort to know everyone in the Glade, but some people he just didn't...notice?

"I don't talk to much anyone, so that's not a problem. Most of the time I've been here, I've been quiet. I watch people, not talk to them." Lia sighed. "It's actually quite easy. I'm just the MapMaker no one knows."

"So...you're not the Keeper? I thought I saw at the council...oh. Right." Alex broke off and looked at her.

*you

"I stepped out of that elevator, alone, and wandered off. I ended up in the Map Room. I watched people. I don't think many people know I exist. No, I don't think I'm a Keeper." Lia pointed at the elevator, then the direction on the Map Room, she smiles politely. "It was nice to meet you though Sir."

Alex laughed at that.

"Just Alex," he told her. "Well, I have to go do some top secret leader work," Alex joked. "But it was nice meeting you, Lia. Hope to see you again soon."

((Gtg, srry!))

(KK) "Maybe you'll just have to start looking harder, half the time I'm there." Lia smiled, "Bye Alex."

Wendy was gone from view after the two's conversation.

"Wendy?" Lia called for her, but decided if she wasn't here, Lia would head back to the Map Room. After waiting for a bit, Lia went back to the Map Room.

The sound of gears and creeks are heard from the elevator's opening.

Alex hovered above the elevator, ready to help, as usual, bracing one foot against the side of the elevator and one against the other on the rocky ground.

Wendy stood waiting for the arriving person.

*Then, the creaks stop.*

"GET ME OUT! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" A boy screams.

Wendy stood waiting for the arriving person.

*Then, the creaks stop.*

"GET ME OUT! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" A boy screams.

Alex hauled the boy out easily. Then he offered his hand.

"Welcome to the Glade."

The boys seemed rather confused, and looked as if he were searching for someone. "Alec." He says, then taking Alex's hand.

"Alec. Eh? Nice to meet you." Wendy had then suddenly stated. "The Name is Wendy."

Then, out of nowhere, Alec's eyes slightly narrow.

Alex stepped between them, unknowingly blocking off Alec's view of Wendy.

"Funny," he smiled at the similarity. "I'm Alex.

Alec only nods to Alex before taking a step to the side, looking at Wendy.

"Funny, when i came up here, i had remembered your name."

Wendy gave him a quizzed look, obviously confused.

"What?" Alex's welcome face was a slightly stony shade of confused now.

"Yes, and.... she's evil!"

Alec take a charging step forward. But only for Wendy to take a step back as well.

Alex grasped Alex by the shoulder, fast. Alex was amazingly strong, and held Alec back easily.

"What's your problem?" Alex hissed, releasing him. "What are you talking about?"

"She's Evil!" Alec yells. "Her name is the only one i remember besides mine! I had the urge that she was bad. evil.

Wendy's fist balled out of sheer anger. She had problems, yes, but it didn't mean she was evil!

Alex was also angry.

"Who do you think you are?" He snapped.

"I don't know! I have no memories, no knowledge, no freaking idea, man! All i know is that She is evil!" Alec yells.

Wendy started to feel off steady, like she was about to punch the greenie. Though, the guy was at least four inches taller than her 5'11 well being.

Alex squared his jaw and scowled at the new kid. Alex was about an inch shorter than him, but broader and stronger.

"I don't know what your problem is," he said. "But we're all in the same boat now. If you want to start fresh, you can do so now. If you don't, your time here won't be pleasant. So, your decision."

"And who put you in charge!"

POW!

Wendy's bad fist collided with Alec's jaw, which the action makes him fall. As Alec wipes blood from edge of his out, then giving a death glare to Wendy.

"See! See what i mean!"

Alex couldn't help but laugh. "Her punching you in the race makes her EVIL?? I don't think so, greenie. Anyway, what's your decision?"

Alec would stand up and look at Wendy. He then dives and drags Wendy down with him, the two getting into a death brawl.

Alex intervened fast and pulled Wendy off Alec. "Calm down," he whispered. "Don't lose it now, or he's going to end up with a broken arm or something that we can't cure very well." Alex was only half joking.

Wendy was pulled back by a large glader, she was thrashing around with a bloody bandage of a hand.

"He's an ass! He deserves a black eye if it would be anyone!" She shouts.

"Wendy," was all Alex said as he set her down. Then he turned to Alec.

Lia pulled Britney with her to a small corner near the elevator. Where she was standing before. She put her finger to her lips, and motioning for her to be quiet and watch.
