Maze Runner (V2 RP Play!)

Minho | KOTR | Tagging: Blaire| Location: Glade


"He can be when he tries, but that’s just the thing." Minho nodded towards where Newt simply... waited for people to gather, which they were, slowly but surely. "He DOESN'T try. I love him to death, but there’s a lot to be desired in the way of leadership," the Keeper decided.

"I swear there've been about a hundred times I’ve wanted to just go over and knock some sense into his thick skull. There are times when we just have to put aside our soft sides and get stuff done," he pointed out.


Alex | Med-Jack | Tagging: Chance | Location: Glade


Reflecting on how few supplies she’d had to gather, Alex noted that Chance did have a point in that there wasn’t a whole lot to pack anyway. That do it when he feels like it attitude had gotten him on the bad side of...almost everyone in the Glade at SOME point or other, she realized. Not that he seems to care, and that’s fine. Just for one day though, the whole group has to learn to get along and be one big team.

"Okay, well..." Alex shifted her weight to her back leg and let her hands drop from her hips. She didn’t want to rush anyone in the slightest, but she could see more and more people gathering by Newt. "Could be any minute now, and when Newt and Minho call for us to get moving, I doubt they’ll wait for anyone to finish last-minute packing."

She could already see proof of what she was saying about Newt. "Why doesn't he just step down? Honestly, he really doesn't even seem happy doing the position." she explained. She didn't know Newt much, aside from the occasional good mornings and work-related stuff, they never really hung out or got to know each other. Although Newt wasn't someone she saw herself being best buds with. She sighed lightly "Honestly why don't you? I mean you don't have to physically hit him to show him how to be stern. Everyone probably already looks at you as the second-in-command. Why don't you two work together, he's the softy, and you're the stern. Not saying you don't have a softy side-Although I doubt anyone here has seen it- I bet you guys could get a lot more done. plus no one talks back to you...well aside from me." she asked. She felt like if when they needed someone with more of a softer approach, Newt would be good to step in. But when work needed to be done, well Minho had been leading the runner for years now. And the runners aren't very easily controlled, but when it came to Minho he had everyone in line. Minho had it in him to do what needed to be done, even if it would hurt someone's feelings.

She's persistant...alright...I guess I play along for now...if it will get her off my back. he thought to himself. But that doesn't mean I need to like it. He slid off of the hammock in front of her, now looking down at her at his 6 foot 2 height. "Fine blondie. I'll pack, does that make you happy?" he said as his light brown eyes looked at her, before brushing past her lightly and grabbing a bag. If I could stay here....that would be amazing. I would never have to work or have anyone on me about doing something... he growled to himself quietly. He glanced back at the girl known as Alex, what did she want with him? Why did she care so much? So what if he got left behind, what was it to her?

Minho | KOTR | Tagging: Blaire| Location: Glade


Keeper of the Runners aside, Minho had never strived for any authority position. Actually, come to think of it, he'd never strived for Keeper either. His attitude, visual memory of the grounds they explored, and his overall seniority had afforded him the position in the end. But for the greater good, sometimes, someone had to step in. "I think he doesn’t step down because he’s scared. He’s scared to not have SOME influence. Even when Alby was around, Newt was Second in Command. Maybe it’s time to talk to him about recruiting a Second in Command of his own, help him shape up."

It was true. When Newt failed to give answers, often, Gladers had turned to Minho, who would give them the honest truth, even if it was brutal- unless it went directly against the few orders Newt HAD given- and wouldn’t sugar-coat anything. "He hasn’t said anything about leaving yet. So I think..." Minho shook his head. "In this case, at least, if he hasn’t said something in five minutes, I’m calling the shots and getting us out of this hellhole."


Alex | Med-Jack | Tagging: Chance | Location: Glade


More than anything, if not simply her care for ALL the other Gladers, Alex was just eager to get a move on...and talking to someone else- even if it meant pushing them to get ready themselves- was cutting her nerves a bit, but Newt or Minho had better say SOMETHING, and soon, or she was FAIRLY sure she wasn’t the only person who was about to lose her mind out of anxiety and confusion.

"Yes," she confirmed, her usually happy and chipper tone shifting to a more business-like one. He seemed more irritated by the upbeat, cheery side of her than anything. "It does."

She shifted slightly "Well, I just assumed you would be it. But if you're not, it's going to be hard to find someone to fill the position. Helping shape up Newt is going to be easier said than done, and right now there is so much uncertainty and madness and there's hardly any organization that we aren't really in the position to try to put someone there now." she stated.
Even though she never really showed it, she looked up to Minho, and often found herself following him without hesitation. He was natural at being at the head of the pack. And every time she saw him there he was leading, and today when they leave, once again he will probably be up at the front. "Well, either way, I followed you before...I have no issue following you some more. she said, although to her it sounded super cheesy and cringe. "We just...need to get out of here." she sighed as she looked to the gates of the maze changing her subject as if to ignore her previous words. But flashbacks of last night came to her mind...the terror in people's eyes and voices as the grievers came through the gates. She blinked a few times to get the images out. She was good at hiding how scared she was, she was always confident and cocky in a fight, but looking back at it, she had made so many mistakes that could have costed her life. She lightly put her hand to her ribs as she remembered getting hit with the griever's tail. If her ribs were to have broke, it could've done a lot more damage than just a bruise and pain.

Chance wasn't much for running, and he wasn't much for teamwork. So he'd probably be at the back of the group when it came to getting through the maze. He unzipped the bag and threw his water canteen in it, along with an extra set of clothes and a hoodie. There was a little bit of space left for him to put some snacks in it, but he would do that here in a minute. He found himself obeying this girl, like a dog. Was it because she was so persistent? Different than the others? He found it aggravating that he gave in so easily. He had this pouting face as his back was to her, like a boy who got his toy taken away, his eyebrows stuck in a furrowed position as he looked at the bag. He slung the bag over his shoulder and tightened the strap slightly after he had put his snacks in it. "I'm done... I'm going to sit on my hammock again or is there something else I needed to do?" his tone was sarcastic but it was less rude.

Minho | KOTR | Tagging: Blaire| Location: Glade


"Newt turns to me for advice when he needs it- or rather, when he ADMITS he needs it-, so maybe unofficially, but he’s hasn’t OFFICIALLY appointed anyone." Minho shook his head. Did it even matter now, since they were getting out and supposedly leaving behind their whole hierarchy and organization? Minho's dark gaze drifted to Blaire's hand, which rested against her side, right by her ribcage. He frowned. She’d been in the thick of the fighting the night before.

Guilt shot through him, though his face didn’t change. He should've been more out there, helping his teammates more than he did. "Hey. Griever get you last night or something?" He asked, nodding towards her hand.


Alex | Med-Jack | Tagging: Chance | Location: Glade


Alex certainly didn’t miss the sarcasm that hung thickly in the Builder's voice, but she didn’t react to it much, aside from a brief eye roll. It wasn’t worth an argument, she figured. She just straightened her posture again to compose herself. She glanced just briefly towards Newt and Minho.

"Not that I can see." She shrugged, rolling her shoulders back to ease the tension from her shoulders and upper back. "Sorry to have pushed you around, but if I didn’t do it, either Newt or Minho would’ve, or you’d be scrambling for stuff at the last minute, and...none of that is particularly ideal."

She had heard him talking about the situation, even if they were leaving it wouldn't be easy to just jump headfirst into the unknown without higher ranks. They had no idea what they were walking into, and the people relied on being led by someone. Not everyone can make hard decisions themselves, and look to someone to make them for them. Its scary to be unsure, and not having that ability to lean on someone else to lead the way, is like jumping into an ocean in pitch-black darkness. "I wonder if he just figured you would be it, without question..." this comment was more to herself but it was loud enough to hear.
Her eyes shot to her hand before she quickly removed it. "um...Well yeah...but it's not a big deal. Dont...worry about me." she said as she put a smile on her face, though she was worried it will slow her down when they go to leave, taking deep or rapid breaths were pretty painful, breathing normally was bearable. The bruising was probably looking the same since she woke up this morning, if not worse. But the pain definitely was escalating.

Was it really just because she cared? he thought. He caught the eye roll and had a smirk on his face, maybe she would let up. He walked back to his hammock "I'm sure you're right. But neither of them really scare me much." he said as he put his hands behind his head and laid back on them, the bag was on the floor beside him now. "I guess...it wouldn't have made a big difference either way to me. Honestly, it would've taken up the same amount of time. Plus from the looks of it, Newt doesn't seem to be rushing anyone." he says motioning towards the door of the homestead. Although he wasn't sure why he was making so much conversation with this girl. She was pretty irritating to him.

Minho | KOTR | Tagging: Blaire| Location: Glade


"Even if that was his thought track, he still should’ve SAID something." One way or another, Gladers had turned to Minho for answers, so he’d in his own way accidentally taken on that role. I'll have to talk to Newt about that piece later. He decided. He frowned as Blaire spoke again.

"We have to be mindful today," he pointed out. "C'mon, let me see. If it’s pretty bad, we may be able to get a Med-Jack to take a look before we set out," he added.


Alex | Med-Jack | Tagging: Chance | Location: Glade


Alex sighed. Newt looked all ready to go. So did many of the others. Who were they still waiting on, or if not waiting on anyone anymore, why had nobody given the go-ahead? The blonde knelt to pick up her own bag from where she’d dropped it, slinging it once more over her shoulder.

"If neither of them scare you much, that’s something. I’m pretty sure every other Glader is afraid of Minho's...commentary, and Newt has quite the voice on him when he decides to shout at someone. Aaaaaaanyway." Alex shrugged. "You do you, man. I’m gonna go join up with the group. I’m sure it won’t be long."

He made a good point, and she did have a feeling that Newt just figured he would take the spot since Minho was a natural at it, and if that was the case Newt should've had the common sense to say something.
She looked at him for a moment, chewing her lip as she hesitated. She wasn't one who liked to be taken care of, she was perfectly capable of it herself. But she gave in, she knew she wouldn't win against Minho with this, and it would be just a waste of energy to fight him on it. She sighed "Fine....but there isn't much a Med-jack is going to be able to do, it isn't something you can just put a bandaid on." she states plus there wasn't something that could help heal the bruise or the cracked ribs, it was something that needed time to heal. Before again hesitating, then she slowly lifted her shirt to show her ribs.
The bruise could've looked darker than earlier but she really couldn't tell, but it was definitely the same size so that was good. It was all along the right side of her ribs, stopping before her hip. The bruising did kind of spill out to her back, but it was more focused on the front of her ribs. "Last night...a griever hit me with its tail...I don't think they're broken, either bruised or worst-case scenario maybe a few are cracked..." she explained quietly as she looked down at her ribs, her tone making it seem like it really wasn't that big of a deal. "It looks worse than it is..." she stated, but she wasn't too confident about those words.

He had a smirk on his face, the two "leaders" of this place were hardly scary, too chance they looked more like a shrimp and a mouse trying to be a tiger. Though usually, he did listen to the two, mostly just because he didn't want to get stuck out in the maze by banishment, the maze was probably the only thing that really scared him, which may be the reason why he is putting off leaving. But Alex was kind of right, Minho and Newt both knew how to be scary, of course Chance wouldn't agree with her out loud.
Finally I'll get some peace and quiet... he thought as he looked her way. "Don't worry I won't be far behind Blondie." he said as he shifted his eyes to the ceiling of the hut.

Minho | KOTR | Tagging: Blaire| Location: Glade


Minho's usually apathetic expression shifted, eyebrows angling just slightly downwards, a small frown appearing on his face. It looked bad. Or the worst he’d ever seen, but had, and the Grievers' tails were HEAVY. "Okay, well..." he was about to ask if she was sure she was going to be able to make it the full run today, but there was no questioning it. They either left that day, or more people died, and Minho suspected many others would much rather take their chances out in the Maze rather than take it laying down.

"If you need to fall back on someone, get some help or whatever while we're out there..." he pointed at himself. "I’ve gotcha. It ain’t gonna be easy for anyone, so if you need any help, just putting that out there."


Alex | Med-Jack | Tagging: Chance, Bailey, Uciel, Violet | Location: Glade


"Right then." She gave him a nod. "Catch ya on the flipside!" Alex adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder, then took off at a job to join the small group. She caught sight of several people already gathered, all seeming ready to go, or physically ready. None of them were mentally prepared for what they were about to face.

"Good morning Violet, Uciel, Bailey!" She chirped, earning a small wave and a nod of acknowledgement from Uciel, who stood silently by Bailey. Alex knew she’d been injured, but she hadn’t personally had the chance to take a look.

"Hmm so you really do have a soft side. Everyone always thought you were some kind of robot." she said as she let the shirt fall back down there was a small smirk on her face. The smirk then shifted to a small smile and a more serious manner, "I should be fine...but I'll keep that in mind if it happens to come to that... Thanks, Minho." she said. She could see how the group of people were growing, and you could sense the impatience coming from them. Everyone wanted to go, so what or who were they waiting for at this point? She looked to Minho again "Think it's about time to move things along?" she asked as her hand motioned to the group.

After she had left he chuckled to himself "Catch me on the flipside huh?" he said to himself. He won't deny it, the girl was intriguing and usually, they would've given up on the conversation much quicker and easier. But she never did. Her footsteps got quieter as she got closer to the group gathering. He sighed, picking up the backpack and staying in the homestead, he would wait until the last moment, and then join them.

She was patiently waiting for Newt to say the word and for the group to be completely ready. She looked over when Alex approached and said good morning. She offered a wave and a smiled "Goodmorning! Are you ready to go?" she asked. She had finished packing and had everything she could possibly need. The bag was sitting on the ground by her feet so she wouldn't get easily tired from holding the bag for too long. "I'm pretty excited, I can't wait to see what's out there." and even if it wasn't like she expected it would still be awesome compared to the maze, they would be free and able to do whatever they wanted without restrictions.
