The Labyrinth of the Faun

[3kul]

((Okay, Hackstar plot is over, I can play nice with others again and get back into aaaaaall of the old RPs that I've been neglecting. ))

3kul couldn't get it off his mind now, something felt really wrong with the way that he was running. He was feeling drained far too quickly, and his feet felt like lead, it was as if he wasn't used to having to run for very long, was he just a really lazy guy or something? That didn't quite seem like the right answer, as he had no problems lugging his giant weapon or it's oversized ammunition, so there must've been something else.

Was it his shoes? Perhaps he wasn't used to these shoes. He looked down, having not really paid much attention to his own attire, to discover something that made him stop suddenly. A gunpowder leak! How long had that been going? He looked back down the path to see that the trail extended further back than he could see. That was bad, really bad. The powder was bright green too, there was no missing that against the stone floors.

Now for something else to freak 3kul out, as if he wasn't already worried enough - footsteps. Not the kind that you hear from someone wearing shoes, these were animal footsteps. How 3kul knew that he had no idea, but he was already loading his weapon with ammu- "Hey, what the?" As if on instinct, 3kul had begun to load the barrel of his weapon with a fierce-looking cannonball. It seemed a bit different from a regular cannonball, all red except for- Don't look at it, moron! "Who said that?" 3kul was confused to hear his brain telling him things that he didn't know, but then he realized that he was having a flashback.

"I said don't look at it, moron!"
"I have a name you know. It's ◻◻◻◻. And why shouldn't I look at it, I'm trying to buy it aren't I?"
"That's a PredaBall. One look at that baby and you won't be able to look away."

As far as flashbacks went it was pretty brief, no imagery included, just vague memories of a conversation. It kind of sucked that he couldn't hear himself saying his own name, but it was probably just as well that his flashback had been sub-par, as otherwise he would have missed seeing the creature that was following his trail suddenly skid around a corner and come into full view. Heartless probably didn't consider himself to be that scary, but to 3kul he looked like the kind of labyrinth dwelling beast that feasted on unwary travellers like himself. "Oh crap!" was the most intelligent thing that 3kul could think of saying, and wanting to make sure that those were not his last words, he crammed a handfull of green powder into the opening of his weapon along with the large cannonball. Who cares what it does, as long as it scares the monster away.

Pointing the end of the club squarely at the monster that appeared to be coming straight for him, 3kul pulled the trigger.

The fierce PredaBall zoomed down the corridor, hurtling towards the monster, leaving a thin wisp of green smoke trailing from the end of the barrel of 3kul's weapon. "Spicy..." 3kul commented, feeling compelled to watching that his attack was successful.

((Might as well use this oppertunity to test my character ))

Two, no, six foot-steps were getting closer and closer to what is the Laybrinth of the Fawn. A blue procupine was one, and a robot is the other.
Kasrill and Yzing (Sometimes spelled Wizing) were their names. The robotic Yzing was built in the shape of a medium-sized (Large enough to ride, but not big enough to fill a stadium by himself) dragon powerd by electricity. Yzing also makes up for the strength of the two. On the other hand, Kasrill, a anthro-porcupine with light blue fur and dark blue stripes was a scientist that worked in a large lab with many others before landing in Blackstar. Kasrill holds the remote control for Yzing and can over-ride what he's doing on his own will should she dissaprove. So, she was the brains of the two.

Kasrill looked down at her companion. Something was on her mind, but who knows what?

"Sit, Let me check the area."

Going a few steps closer to the laybrinth, she inspected the entrance and some of the inhabitants nearby.

~Aha! A laybrinth! I bet something is at the end. A reward for my troubles, more specificly. The girl nearby seems to be harmless for the most part. She's a bit to cheerful for me, however. But possibly she'll snap outta it eventually. Eitherway, annoying or not, I'll check it out.~

Kasrill walked back to her robotic pet, albit excited. Yzing raised his head, his red eyes looking attendtive. When his owner is walking like that, he knows that something's going on. Kasrill petted Yzing on the head for a bit, not like Yzing can feel it. He knew that petting ment he did a good thing, though, so he was content non of the less.

"We are going to have a big adventure really soon, buddy!"

#Ok. So what role do I play in this?#

He found out shortly what, as Kasrill manipulates the control to make Yzing stand up. Kasrill approched her robotic dragon and mounted him. ((Not in that way, Raven )) Kasrill took out rubber sleeves and wraped them around his eletric poles ((This seem to get dirty every minuet x_x)) so she wouldn't get shocked holding onto them. Yzing was not so happy to be holding Kasrill's weight, but he was stable enough. Kasrill used him like he was a horse to get to places in the past many times, and he was used to this by now. If there was one thing he can do without, it's Kasrill using his wings (AKA his eletric poles) like reins.

#Oof! Once master finishes making my voice box, I'll have to have a word with her#

And off into the laybrinth they went. Rasberry was nearby, so why not drop a little surprise for her? As she neared her special victim, she grabbed for one of her coconuts. The coconut was very hard, and should at least scare the jeebers outta her without hurting Rasberry to much. One pass and the coconut would be given to Raberry for free . . . whenever she liked it or not. Kasrill slowed down a bit, noticing the damage she'd done by mistake.

~Whoops! Oh well, at least that will get her to shut up~

She wanted to continue through the laybrinth, however, Kas wanted to see Rass's ((May I call her that?)) reaction first.

Kasrill tosses the Coconut at Rasberry, bouncing the hard shelled seed off of their head. Ouch! That’s going to leave a bump.

Tentacle was walking down a path in the maze her memory showed no signs of recognising. She was slightly confused, and she was now talking to herself to make sure her world didn't go completely out of focus.

"Oh loook .The dancinng cacctuss is baak."

Her words slurred slightly and were followed by a giggle. She carried on walking past said figment from her strange-ish form of insanity that was begining to form from various things, mainly the lack of anybody to talk to and the maze itself. Not that she particuly cared. Provided Tentacle stayed alive, she'd be fine.

She had no idea, that she was walking down the corridoor that 3kul had been walking up, and the second she turned the corner up ahead she'd see him, and he'd most likely see her.

((Net, you've just added to my list of "Why IE sucks, big time." . And the cactus thing wasn't my idea. I found it in an awesome online cartoon that I am completely hooked on.))

[TheBlackSoul]

As Heartless followed the trail of green powder, he heard something say "Oh crap!"

He looked up to see a figure of sorts load up some sort of weapon, point it at him, and fire said weapon.

Whatever it was, it made the most frighting boom that made every hair on the false lion's body stand up on end. In fact, it caused him to rear up with his eyes wide open in fear, holding out his front limbs like a zombie, then fall backwards unconscious in a very comical manner.

Although he didn't notice it, the cannonball the other thing fired flew right over him.

[3kul]

"Ah, the monster's not getting up, did it work?" 3kul thought aloud, somewhat relieved that the monster had gone down without any trouble.

The PredaBall doesn't work like that. Don't forget to get it back.

"I have to get it back? Then why'd I shoot it?!" 3kul seemed more surprised that he had to get his cannonball back than the fact that he was talking to himself once again.

The PredaBall is meant for a distraction, then you charge in and crack your opponent's skull with the business end of the ◻◻◻◻.

"The what?"

The ◻◻◻◻. Your weapon.

3kul thought for a few moments, which also gave him time to make sure that the monster wasn't faking. Just like how he'd been unable to hear the voice inside his head say his name, it seemed that he couldn't hear the name of his weapon either. Did this mean that he'd forgotten those things? That his own mind couldn't tell him what they were until he remembered?

Alright, so he only knew things that he knew, along with what seemed to be basic instructions for being himself. That was actually quite handy, it almost made 3kul overlook how totally crazy it seemed to be talking to himself. Almost. He decided to test this little ability out.

"So if I wanted to run past the monster quickly to get the PredaBall back..."

You'd press the heel of your boots down hard to activate them.

Aha, this was going to make amnesia much less annoying! 3kul did as his brain told him to do, pressing down on the heel of his boots hard. The moment he did this, wheels sprouted out from the front end of his boots, and then another set propped him up at the back. So his boots were meant to have wheels on them, that's why he'd felt so slow before!

He skated his way back down the corridor, finding that this kind of movement seemed to come naturally too him. Of course it does, you've been doing it for years. "... Maybe so, but it's still pretty cool." 3kul said, pleased that he could now maneuvre about the maze much faster. He had to slow himself down to pass the monster though, as the last thing that 3kul wanted to do was crash into it and cause it to regain conciousness.

As he slowly skated around the beast, he got a bit of a better look at it. "Scary stuff." He whispered to himself as he caught a glimpse of the creature's teeth, and he decided to stop looking and quickly get a move on just in case it decided to wake up right now. "I wonder how far that PredaBall thing went though?" He said, thinking aloud once more in case his brain had any advice for him. Not very. Jalapeno is the weakest of your gunpowders, remember? Ah, something else interesting to remember, though it didn't make very much sense - Jalapeno gunpowder? Jalapenos were food, weren't they?

He continued gliding down the corridor, realizing that this was also a good way to throw people off with the gunpowder trail. The gunpowder had stopped falling out of his bag too, which was also comforting to know, as the trail would only lead in a straight line now.

A quiet whisper resounded around the entrance to the labyrinth, smoke curled up from the ground and formed into a humanoid shape. There was an azure flash and a young human girl stood in the smoke's place. She was about five foot high, with long, golden hair tied up in a ponytail protuding from under an indigo winter hat, blowing in some unknown breeze that soon dissappeared. She wore a light purplish/pink T-shirt, with lavender jacket on top, complete with a dark pink/magenta skirt and white trainers with rose socks.

She looked around her, dimly aware that she stood in some forest,
"I...wha?" she stuttered. She couldn't remember anything...wait...her name was Jyla, she was sure it was. The haziness that covered her eyes lifted and she saw more clearly. She was, indeed, standing in a forest, but it was dark, the trees seemingly charred, a smell of burnt wood hung around the place constantly. In front of her stood a stone wall, overgrown with plants, though in this forest it seemed to be a strange sight, it was clearly old. Jyla felt an unbearable need to enter, and so she did.

It was only after a few minutes of navigating the maze's corridors that Jyla realized it was a maze, ~I should have tied some string to the entrance, like Theseus.~ she thought, before shaking her head, ~I haven't got any string...and who the hell is Theseus?~. Cursing her lost memory, she continued along the winding paths of the labyrinth, desperately trying to find the centre, she had to find the centre. She stepped out from one corridor into another, turned, and froze, something was coming up to her, seemingly gliding across the floor.
