[when the sphere comes on, it is obviously unintentional. Oliver is currently quite distracted, wandering down a hallway with hideous carpet. he is bobbing his head and humming along with a tune that the sphere doesn't seem to be able to pick up, snapping his fingers as he goes and grinning happily. if he was injured badly a week ago, he

[watches Oliver for a moment, honestly unsure of what to say right then. even before the Puppeteer, did he ever see this level of carefree happiness from his friend?]

[all he can manage to say is:] Uh...

[oliverplus]

Doctor, there you are! Have you been down to the maze yet? You're gonna love it!

[bit_impossible]

[slowly] No...I haven't. Ollie, how long have you been there?

[oliverplus]

I don't know! A while, I guess. I'm trying to search the whole thing!

[bit_impossible]

Well, considering the size of the ship, makes sense why you've been there for so long...

But how do you know you've been to some place new and not the same place?

[oliverplus]

[blinks] I guess I don't. But if I keep searching long enough, I'm bound to go everywhere!

[bit_impossible]

True, true. It's statistically possible, like a chimpanzee eventually banging out all the words to Hamlet...

[oliverplus]

Yeah, exactly! And I've got a good start. Plus, I'm not the only one searching. We've got at least like three chimpanzees down here. Probably even more!

[bit_impossible]

[arches an eyebrow there.] Searching for what?

[oliverplus]

The captain, of course! What else would we be searching for?

[bit_impossible]

[stares at him for a second, processing that. how come he didn't know about the captain being in there? he's already on his feet and heading out the door of his suite.]

When did the captain get in there, Ollie?

[oliverplus]

He's the one who opened the maze up. Didn't you hear over the spheres? It was in the middle of the night, like...I don't know, a couple days ago.

[bit_impossible]

If it was a couple nights ago, then no. I was...[thinks back on his newest nightmare.] I was trying to meditate and I fell asleep. The Yogi would be dreadfully ashamed of me if he knew.

[oliverplus]

Yogi? Like the bear?

[bit_impossible]

Oh yes, of course like the bear! Him, Boo-Boo, and me were going to steal some pic-a-nic baskets but that awful Ranger Smith thwarted all our plans!

[oliverplus]

[laughs] I used to love that show! I didn't know you liked it, too.
