[ if claude tries to sacrifice him cloud WILL push and hold him down in the pool, he's vindictive. i hope the wall is full of faint marks of all the maze's previous victims. ]
Ever been in a maze before? [ this is a genuine question as they try to make their way downtown. walking fast. hear some growling. walking faster. ] Can't say they're common back home.
How's "we might die but it won't stick" lightening the mood?
[ CLAUDE. anyway there's an immediate annoyed noise as they have to backtrack, which is also immediately covered by a louder growl and the feeling that they should maybe be running faster 🤔 ]
Kinda feeling like a lab rat right now. [ stupid jogging in a labyrinth ]
[ they turn! right into fork in the road! i hope claude is keeping track of these. cloud is too but he is not sharing currently. ]
Anyone ever tell you not to say it could be worse?
[ you know how some mazes have traps "do they" you know this very common fact about mazes having traps, well this one does too! a pit of spikes in this dead end. get it? it's a dead end? cloud's stop is very abrupt. let them bump into each other ]

week 0, monday
claude is also conveniently in the hallway, so he stops with his hand on the handle ]
Looks like you didn't get sick after all.
[ he does not know why he says this. it will only be misconstrued as concern again. ]
no subject
I hope you didn't stay awake at night worrying about it.
[ Also, I'm going to rng against and transform door #9 into door #17 because I can't rp boardgames. ]
no subject
I wasn't worried.
[ HE IS GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR ANGRILY TO TRY AND GET AWAY FROM CLAUDE ]
no subject
cloud's escape it pointless given that claude just follows him through. ]
I can see it in your eyes.
no subject
[ he looks at him with his pretty eyes! that glow a little! it's fine. it's normal.
they are now in a maze and that's not great. the door closes behind them. ]
...
Damn it.
no subject
Well, this seems fun.
[ Something... growls in the distance. ]
no subject
Think that's our cue to get moving. [ growls are bad? he is just going to pick a direction at random and go? surely this is how mazes work ]
no subject
[ He can be serious for a moment, looking around at the walls. ]
no subject
gestures at the giant ass sword magneted to his back ]
Are you?
no subject
whatever ]
I'm a damsel, you'll have to— No, I can't. [ He sighs. ] Yeah, though not as obviously as you.
no subject
[ the growling is too close for comfort? he is even nicely ignoring the half-quip. time to pick directions at random!!! ]
I don't want to see what lives in this maze up close.
no subject
[ He looks behind them, trying to catalog their surroundings in an effort to keep from going in circles. ]
Maybe we should try climbing the walls.
no subject
Think we can stay on them and skip this maze?
[ the answer is. the walls will grow taller the second they attempt to truly climb them.
no cheating ]
no subject
You've got to be kidding me.
[ Off they go again!! ]
You don't think you could take whatever it is that's hunting us?
no subject
[ tiny maze corridors... because... it's funniest if the buster sword is a problem. ]
I might manage it, but I don't know how well I could protect us both like this. And we don't know what's chasing us.
[ and he like, does not wanna find out ]
no subject
So they go. ]
Better to avoid conflict then.
[ He grabs a stone, striking it against the wall to make a faint mark. ]
Might as well try to keep from running in circles.
no subject
Ever been in a maze before? [ this is a genuine question as they try to make their way downtown. walking fast. hear some growling. walking faster. ] Can't say they're common back home.
the way i totally missed this notif
[ He's walking at a brisk pace now. ]
But the chances we'll actually die are fairly small.
no subject
[ it's monday so they can't die? ]
Pretty sure there's a few people here who had people die every day wherever they were.
no subject
But I mean, I was in the room where you fall to your death, and while I definitely felt like I died, I didn't. So I think it's a trick of these rooms.
no subject
[ he does not want this. ]
no subject
[ To no avail.
Especially since they turn the next corner to find a dead end.
Great. ]
no subject
[ CLAUDE. anyway there's an immediate annoyed noise as they have to backtrack, which is also immediately covered by a louder growl and the feeling that they should maybe be running faster 🤔 ]
Kinda feeling like a lab rat right now. [ stupid jogging in a labyrinth ]
no subject
[ LOOK anyway, Claude is running now, but still carefully enough that he's taking in their surroundings, keeping an eye on the markings on the wall.
They reach another fork, making a turn. ]
It's definitely entertainment for someone. This really sucks.
