The Labyrinth ((semi-lit))

[valar morghulis]

Emilee silently follows the group, biting her lower lip as she slowly came to a halt in front of the four paths. She quickly counts each member of the group. Letting out a soft sigh as her count came back as seven. That meant splitting up into pairs wouldn't be an option, unless someone was willing to go alone. Which was probably not something any of them, including herself, were willing to do.
"We should probably try and stay together" She says softly with shrug before heading off in the direction Shylynn and Nathaniel had taken. She knew following them would be the only option since they didn't seem like they'd be willing to turn around.

((James is dressed as a boy. ))
"The left looks as good as any," said James. She moved forward boldly.

"I'm not so sure about that," Alistair purred. He sat down and licked a paw idly.
((Argh, writer's block. ;_;))

Looking to the strange--and slightly disturbing-- talking cat, Dylan smiled. Maybe this cat would agree with him as to the right pathway. "Okay, cat. What do you propose?" he asked.

Benjamin had to stop to stare at the cat, he wasn't really sure what to think of it yet. He couldn't decide if it was useful or just annoying. He stepped out from behind the knight and calmly walked over to stand beside the guy who was talking to it. Maybe I should test this thing... After watching the cat cleanse his paw for just a moment he finally mumbled, "What's over there?" Perhaps it's answer would prove it's intelligence to the boy.

((I should write more, but...nah, to lazy...xD))

Alistair lazily rubbed the back of his paw across his face, taking his time before answering. He happened to know there was a bottomless pit in that direction, but he got the feeling he was being tested.
"How should I know?" Alistair said, his eyes glittering. "After all, I'm just a cat."

"Stop toying with us, cat!" said James, pointing her sword at the cat's neck. She was tired of these roundabout answers from it.

Alistair stared calmly stared her in the eye and said, "I wouldn't do that if I were you. I might be your only hope out of here. And you may call me Alistair."

James withdrew her sword and glared at Alistair.

A talking cat with an attitude. Interesting... Benjamin pushed up his glasses and held the base of his nose for a moment, thinking. Then he looked up at the knight beside him, and then to the cat again.
"Alistair, is it?" he said, forcing a small smile back, "Well, sense you are 'just a cat', why do you think we should take your advice? I personally think that that way looks reasonable." he flicked his head toward the trail the cat had warned them about, "I might just go that way..."

Benjamin slowly turned around, his hand on his chin, and eyed the entrance thoughtfully. In reality, he was, of course, planning on taking the cat's advice, he just wanted to know what was back there. As the boy continued inching forward he was paying extra close attention to Alistair with his other senses, waiting for his reaction...and the knight's, for that matter.

Sky bit her lip anxiously. "Benjamin...be careful," she warned, quietly, watching him. She wasn't sure if she actually believed he would be so ignorant as to disregard sensibility for the sake of upper-handedness. Looking down at the cat, Sky still couldn't make herself believe he could talk, so her thoughts didn't dwell on it. Instead, they turned to how on Earth they were going to figure out the labyrinth and make it to the castle the raven had been speaking of with such an distrusting and willful group. Then again, it was only their first hours in the labyrinth, hopefully they would grow more cooperative and friendly as time progressed, if not...Sky looked down at Alistair. She pictured herself roaming the forsaken labyrinth for the rest of time as a talking cat. Quickly, she shook the idea from her mind and returned her gaze to Benjamin.

[BlissfulFarrago]

Alistair looked at Benjamin.
"Go right ahead," he said. "But I wouldn't if I valued my life." His eyes glittered again. "Many people lacking in intelligence have already died going down that path."

James watched the cat. She wasn't going to get in any more fights with it. Even if it insulted her.
((Gar, more writer's block))

Thinking the same thing as James, Dylan looked to Benjamin. "Maybe you shouldn't go down that path... I think we should listen to the cat. He may have some attitude, but maybe he'd help us?" he addressed the group. Turning to the cat, he bent down so he was level to it. "So, Alistair. Can we trust you to help us out? Or should you let us wander in the Labyrinth without ever finding our way out--kinda like you?"

Shylynn glanced back at the others talking to the cat, before the boy who was following behind her. She took a deep breath then pressed forword leaving the others behind not wishing to waste more time. She pulled her cloak tighter around her and pressed on walking slowly and studying everything.
