[Pollution's wandering around in the maze, examining the hedges with disgust]

More growing things.

[ambitious_woman]

[She continues to read, though the voice is heard quite clearly. She does not recognize it, and an eyebrow raises in subtle disagreement]

[oilyhands]

[He stops to look at the flowers around one of the benches, reaching out to take one. He smiles when it turns brown in his hand, and gently runs his hand over its petals.]

At least they don't last long.

[ambitious_woman]

[still listening, and she is not well pleased. Not at all]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Waaaagh! Have a thoroughly disoriented 12 year old stumble into the centre after having been excessively lost for the last little while]

[ambitious_woman]

[and Reinette calmly closes her book]

Are you quite all right?

[lamb_of_gold]

[Nods] This maze is enormous.

[ambitious_woman]

It is challenging.

[she smiles]

I enjoy a challenge.

[mercwamouth]

[It's just barely come into existence and Deadpool's already lost in it]

...Now I just need my father screaming and running at me with a hatchet and the homage will be complete.

[ambitious_woman]

[from the center she hears him]

It is best he is not then.

Because if he were to damage my labyrinth with his ax, I would be forced to have serious words.

[mercwamouth]

Glad to see we have our priorities in order.

[ambitious_woman]

[she almost laughs]

I would never wish to be accused of having none.

[a_pretty_fire]

I can't get lost. I can always see the sky, no matter where I run.

[Unfortunately, Drusilla's temporary soul has had no effect on her coherency.]

Even the minotaur couldn't hide from the sky, or from what his blood told him to be.

[ambitious_woman]

[she catches a glimpse of the other woman's clothing as she moves by]

Do you believe he attempted to hide from it?

[a_pretty_fire]

Everyone does.

[She glares at the nearest hedge, reaching out to grab a handful of leaves and crush them between her fingers.]

Everyone does!

[ambitious_woman]

[her expression shifts]

Are you all right?

[chansondelamort]

{She could just cheat and jump them all, but no! She will play fair today. So Diva is running along the pathways, laughing every time she comes to a dead end, which is fairly often.

Did I mention she has no sense of direction?}

[ambitious_woman]

[Reinette catches snatches of the sounds of her laughter, and recognizes the voice. She is content to read her book, and wait]

[chansondelamort]

{It takes her a while, but she eventually makes it to the center, smiling brightly}

Ne, it's not easy at all! This is a pretty hard maze.

[ambitious_woman]

[Reinette laughs then]

Well, I would not wish to be accused of being easy, I think.
