I will make you lose The Game with me.
The Protector-Gabriel
“Even if you aren’t fit to fill a role yet, that doesn’t mean you can’t ever fill that role. And as for you, Cassius, I assume Leander is your prince. Therefore, even if he isn’t fit for leadership, you should still respect his wishes.” Gabriel sighed, why exactly, it wasn’t clear.
I’ve got to go to crew now, but I’ll be back around 7:30-8:00 EST. See you then!

#AnduthForever (💕)Barnes
Barnes meandered along the edge of the labyrinth. She stood behind the rest of the crowd, almost as if she were part of the background. Her pale skin easily matched some of the stone decorations along the directionless path. That was the only similarity between her and the place.
Home. It felt far away, although logically, Barnes must have just been there, in bed, reading out loud to herself. She wasn’t wearing her old jacket any longer, and the comforting smell was replaced with the smell of wet earth.
No, nothing important from that evening was with her anymore. She could argue her house was not her home, and emotionally shouldn’t be the destination for the crystal balls to target, but that would go into the contract details of this adventure and it wasn’t worth the time.
With her long gait, she crossed from stone to stone quite easily, and the hems of her deep red trousers brushed against the emerald moss. The air was pleasantly cool. She nudged at the moss with the toe of her loafer. The mist seemed to puff out from it like a layer of dust, floating away into the lavender-gray of the fogged landscape.
“Color,” she breathed. She reached up to brush her hair from her mask eye-hole, her hand lingering as she gazed at the vines.
…But she still had a reason to return. She hissed softly through her teeth.
In front of her, a commotion broke out and interrupted her thoughts.
“I can handle the truth, but I doubt if you truly can…”
“I’m going to prove you wrong! I – I am fit for leadership!”
“…You portray all of the seven sins…”
Barnes tuned it out. She stuck her hands in her jacket pockets and meandered in the direction of the labyrinth entrance. She nodded to the imp. “I’d ask if compasses work, but somehow that seems like a stupid question.”
The imp cackled quietly in response.
“I’m still needed elsewhere.” Barnes shrugged one shoulder, an innocent acknowledgment. She walked right through the argument between the three young men, past two great stone chalices guarding the maze entrance. The labyrinth entrance welcomed her, the vines loosening as if the walls had sighed, and the mist swallowed her whole.
Inside her mask, her eyes widened in private curiosity.

Prince Leander and Cassius
“Ha. How amusing.” Cassius frowned. “No, Leander is not my prince. And nor would I ever want him to be.” Cassius looked at Leander. “That’s fine with me.” Leander mumbled. “If I were your prince, I’d banish you to the mountains! Just for being so boring!” Leander crossed his arms. Cassius smiled. “That is why I am glad I am not under your leadership.” Cassius dropped his smile. “Now. I am going to head into the maze-” And just as he said that, a woman walked by them, right through their conversation.
“How rude.” Cassius said, as he watched her walk by. “Oh! be quiet, Cassius! We were blocking the entrance anyway!” Leander raised his hand in a gesture. “Oh well.” Cassius pushed past. “I, by myself, am going to find my way home. Please, don’t follow me.” Cassius walked into the maze. Leander watched as he left. “What a weird person…” Leander said under his breath. He watched as Cassius walked into the maze. “You know what! I am going in! And you can follow me, if you want! But I’m going to find a crystal for each and everyone here! And bring it back!” Leander walked into the maze.
Cassius ( @whalekeeper idk if you want to RP with me, or anything. But if you don’t, just tell me! Or if you do! :] )
Cassius walked by the girl he saw earlier. Cassius stopped. “you do have manners, right?” He turned and looked at her. “Because back there you had a poor display of them. But, alas, it truly doesn’t matter. Life has no deeper meaning, so who cares how you treat people?” Cassius said, as he kept up with her pace.
Moral of the story, "always listen to a carrot cake when it screams at you."
Oki
Barnes
“I don’t not care, if that’s what you’re suggesting,” Barnes said without looking to see who it was. “I’m not a nihilist.”
The walls rustled around them, and Barnes turned her head to scan the smaller hedges.
Some of the maze was smaller and narrower than the rest, like little mini gardens encased in the rest of the foliage. Over the tops of these hedges, Barnes could have sworn she saw a stone object move.
After a long pause, she moved on, her wine-colored jacket lifting in the air behind her.

Cassius
“So, I take that as a no…” Cassius shrugs. “Oh well. I never really cared if someone had manners or not.” Cassius sighs. “It’s more about how they treat… ah, I honestly don’t care what anyone is like.” Cassius looked up at the girl. (I originally had “older girl” there… but I wasn’t sure her age. His is 19.) “I do find it interesting, your word choice. And I find very little things interesting. I have never heard anyone call me a ‘nihilist’… but that is true. I don’t have any moral or religious stand points. I simply let people, and myself, be.” He shrugged again.
Suddenly, the girl stopped. And looked up at something. Cassius looked up, trying to tell what she was looking at.

I probably should have given a little bio.
Name: Lucille Barnes
Description: A young woman (older than twenty, nearing thirty) with grayish blond hair and a tall build, at least six feet tall. She has a fair amount of natural strength. She wears a ruffled cream shirt and maroon jacket and pants. I’ve already mentioned that in what I’ve wrote. She wears a full white mask with shadowed eyeholes.
She will tilt her head in different ways or wave her hands to emphasize her words, since you can’t see her face. Her voice is semi-deep and monotone.
Barnes is intelligent, unperturbed, and often hyper-fixates on things that might be important to her plans. She has a lot of different traits but I’m not going to describe them all.

Barnes
Barnes stared down her nose at the young man. When he finished speaking, she reached out her hand. “You have a ladybug on your shirt.”
Before he could reply, she picked off the bug and held it in the palm of her hand. It was brilliantly deep in color, just like the rest of the labyrinth. The only time she could remember seeing such a vivid ladybug was when she was six years old, when everything looked brighter.
A few seconds passed before Barnes realized what she was doing. She coughed and let the bug fly away. “It’s very different here.”
She kept walking, and the boy had to speed walk to keep up.

@rae @the_lost-journal @loopylin @whoever-else-is-in-the-rp
I’m going for it. Here’s hoping my character won’t kill me.
also, this is the first RP I’ve been in to have the characters as they appear in the Valve Galactic Trilogy (yep, I found a name for the universe: the game company that created the three games the story’s based off of, and then the fact that it occurs in a galaxy setting rather than a single planet. I don’t have names for the individual stories though. And yes, there will be three. The one you guys have read, a sequel whose timeline I have yet to work out, and a third, shorter story depicting something that happens in between the two.)
Huntress (might stick Sniper or Scout in here later but not now)
Ugh, my head.
Where the heck am I?
I sat up, seeing only fog for miles.
Very disorienting. It reminded me a little of standing in the cloud created by a smoke grenade, but a hundred times worse.
“Hello?” I called to the utter grayness. To my surprise, someone answered, although I couldn’t quite hear their words.
I drew my knife, just in case they decided I was a threat. Good thing I’d had it on me when this weird teleportation had happened. Unfortunately, my camouflage abilities wouldn’t be any help in the mist, where I’d still have an obvious outline.
I walked through the fog and nearly slammed into a stony wall. Okay. So there were walls. Good to know.
I followed the wall for several minutes before I finally found the source of the voice.
"When in doubt, eat cheese crackers."-me to my charries who don't even know about cheese crackers
Shoulda added a bio or something, but I’ll do that tomorrow.

(Thanks for the description)
Cassius
Cassius was surprised by the… randomness? Of the matter. “What about that insignificant bug caught your interests?” Cassius began to lightly jog to keep up.
They stayed quiet for a little while… “I apologize. I never told you my name. I am Cassius the actor. Everyone in my family goes by their job. My sister Rosemary the poet, and my older brother Jireh the provider. And you are?” He waited for a response.

OOP- I just saw loopy’s post. It’s fine if you want to RP with her.

I’m back, with aching hands because I made the mistake of gripping my oars really tight so now my hands are covered in blisters, so typing feels weird. Oh, and eating spaghetti (or attempting to) when you hand can’t even grip the fork right without hurting a lot is quite the experience. Do not recommend.
We’re all good now.
The Protector-Gabriel
“That happens to be my plan as well. I understand you do not like this Cassius, but I have a few questions for the woman he has chosen as company. But, if you would prefer to avoid him for the moment, I will wait until another time, perhaps, to ask.” Gabriel paused, looking up at the sky. “Never mind. Questions can wait. Dusk is falling, if this place is like my home, the monsters will be coming out now.”
