The Labyrinth discussion

Pluvia walked into the third sector and looked around.

Pluvia saw the two other girls and glanced around nervously, not sure what to do. Finally she held up her hand to get their attention, "hey."

She stepped back, and held up her hands, "I'm not going to hurt you." she replied, "I'm just glad to see another person here."

Pluvia frowned, "cheery?" she snorted, "hardly."

She nodded, "I know. That's why I'm here."

Pluvia shrugged, "well some are here for themselves... But I'm here for the rest of them, the ones yet to be born, to turn 13. If I get through, this will be the last Laybrinth."

She glanced at the felled monster behind her and the turned back to Rye, "I'd be a fool not to," she replied, "sure." she pulled a map out from the pack on her back, there were several lines swirling on it, "I've been recording all the paths... It'll keep us from going in circles, and maybe get us out of here."

Pluvia carefully skinned a chunk of meat and stored some in her pack before taking a bite, "not bad... And thank you."

Pluvia nodded, "Well if I can figure out the general layout of the maze, it'll be easier to map."

She nodded, "yeah, then we'd have a much better hope of at least one of us getting out."

Pluvia nodded and stuck out her hand, "I'm Pluvia, by the way."

She nodded and went back to eating.

Pluvia took up a rock and pulled some ivy down from the walls and started up a fire.

Pluvia looked up at the darkening sky, searching for stars.

Pluvia turned to her, "Not no one... Some have."

Holly walked down the hallway about fifty feet and sat down. She was ready to die.

Pluvia looked up, sensing someone, "hello?"

Holly jumped up. "My name is Holly! I'm..I'm peaceful!" She turned to run, and then stopped. She turned back around and walked straight towards the voices.

Pluvia watched as the girl approached and stepped cautiously towards her, "I'm Pluvia." she told the girl.

Pluvia looked over at Rye, wondering what her problem was.

Pluvia shrugged, her expression replying, why not?

Holly quietly lowered her hands. "I..I can run. And hide. And I'm a good cook."

Pluvia looked back and forth between the girls. Holly seamed trustworthy, but Rye was pretty much the leader, or so iit seamed, so she decided to wait and see.

Alex walked over, watching the girls talk and listening to their every word. She leaned against a wall.

Pluvia searched the faces of all three girls and spotted another figure leaning against a wall.

Alex looked over, "What? I'm just sitting here! There's nothing wrong with that!" but she walked over, anyway.

Pluvia watched all four of the girls wearily. She was pretty sure she could trust Rye, but the rest were strangers. She ran her fingers through her short hair and held tight to her knife, just in case.

Alex held out her hand to Pluvia, "I'm Alex," her brilliant green eyes were narrowed, but she had a slight smile on her lips.

Pluvia's dark eyes searched hers and she removed her hand from her knife in her belt and took the girls hand. "Pluvia." she replie,d her voice smooth.

Alex smiled, but she was still wary. She slid her hand so that it touched the knife, "Hello Pluvia," her voice was soft and smooth, but had a suspicious tone to it, "And who are you?" she turned to the others, her eyes dangerously bright.

Pluvia pulled back, watching the other girls' movements.

Pluvia moved to Rye's side to show that they were a team. She looked over the three girls.

((yeah))

((K))

Alex bit her lip, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully, "I... I guess so," she said slowly, looking uncertain, "I'll join."

Pluvia stuck out her hand, "Welcome then." she said smoothly

Alex shook it, her eyes narrowed, deep in thought. "So... I guess we should learn a bit about each other. You may have already talked about this before I came, but I'd like to know," she looked at the small group, "I can run really fast, and I'm pretty strong."

Pluvia nodded, "I have a map... And I'm fast. And determined."

Holly took a deep breath. "I'll join. If you will let me, I mean."

Alex glanced over at Holly. She didn't trust any of them, but it may be good to be in an alliance.

Pluvia nodded and looked over at Rye.

Alex bit her lip nervously, looking unusually suspicious. This place is getting to me she thought, shaking her head to clear her mind.

Alex glared at Rye, "I am totally together! And I will make it out!" she turned and leaned against the wall, knowing that she had been short with her.

Pluvia stepped between them, "hey guys, we'll get no where arguing."

Alex continued to glare, but then sighed, "Yeah, you're right. Sorry Rye."

Pluvia stepped over and stood next to Alex, looking over at Rye.

Alex looked thoughtfully at Rye, "You have pretty eyes," her eyes swept Rye's face.

Holly smiled, and then touched the walls. "We can get out" she wispered. "I hope..."

Pluvia looked over at Holly and smiled, "We'll get out. All of us will."

Alex frowned but didn't say anything. She wasn't sure about Rye, something about her...

Holly smiled at Pluvia. "Thank you."
