The Labyrinth Awaits...

[thejareth]

WHO || Jareth, Jordan, Fiona, Faith, Rose, Bo, Brantley, Faye, and Andie
WHAT || Several of Andie's party guests are whisked away to a strange world...
WHERE || The Labyrinth
WHEN || April 2nd, middle of the night (past 2am)
HOW || Actionspam

What seemed like a great idea for a night out took a bizarre twist when Andie's surprise birthday party at some new club called "The Silver Band" turned wild, as some kind of intrinsic magic in the place lowered all the guest's inhibitions. Certain guests found themselves led away down the labyrinthine halls of the clubs to unusual rooms full of decadent scenes, where joining in has an unintended consequence...

For they've all been whisked away by the club's real owner, revealed to be a flamboyant figure - called the Jareth. What he wants with them, and what they'll find here remains to be seen...

Faye! [Andie bites her lips, looking around anxiously at the flames. They seemed so much less scary before Faye had gone away. Unlike Faye, Andie's pretty much powerless against flames. She starts to run after the figure (is it Faye?) hoping she's faster than heat.]

[thejareth]

[Andie beats Faye out of the flames because speedster speed what, but the figure she was following is gone in the smoke. Faye is close on her heels, walking out of the fire right next to the other girl.

There is a sudden 'woosh' sound from behind them and both flames and fireplace are gone when they look, leaving behind nothing but a puff of smoke and some lazily falling glitter. They have stumbled into a gloomy forest, the large trees, rocks, everything seems covered in glitter and dust. The lighting through the trees is odd, not only for the fact that the last they knew it was around three in the morning, but that it looks almost like the sun is setting from what they can see through the thick branches.

They would notice they are standing on what looks like a very old, nearly hidden path that winds off through the forest away from them.

Oh, and lets not forget that both Andie and Faye are pretty nearly next to naked thanks to their escapades in one of the private rooms of The Silver Band.]

[reallywicked]

Andie-! [Faye shouts because she saw the speedster zoom past her.] Wait up!

[The forest is more than a little creepy and she doesn't want to keep walking around alone. But then she's right next to Andie, and that's a little jarring.]

Hey. Where are we?

[asap]

I... have no idea. [When Faye catches up to her, Andie grabs her arm because they're in a very creepy sparkle forest and nearly naked and whatever else is going on Faye's pretty tough and it's reassuring to stick together. Maybe she won't run ahead again.] This doesn't look like the club....

[thejareth]

[Yeah it is definitely...not the club anymore. the normal sounds of the forest once more begin to chime in around them, a slight breeze rustling through the leaves, brushing against them and leaving both with a chill.

the breeze picks up some of the leaves laying on the forest floor, swirling them up and up towards the glittering canopy above them, then in a huge rush of wind they shoot down and out, straight as an arrow along the path at their feet, disappearing around a bend in the trees.]

[reallywicked]

[Faye watches the leaves, then looks back to Andie.]

I guess we just need to keep going. Maybe we can find that guy. [She doesn't really want to find that guy anymore. But all of this is a little too weird, even for her.]

[asap]

Or, you know. The club. The castle. [It's really weird. But following the path seems like the best plan here. Or the worst one. The one most likely to get them... somewhere. She starts moving. Slowly. Well, slowly for Andie. Faye might find it brisk.]

[thejareth]

[and so on down the path they go for quite a while, following the twists and turns of the forest as the light seems to grow just a bit dimmer. the wind picks up a bit more, cold and tickling along their mostly bare frames.

finally, as they round the next bend they would notice a tall figure standing to the side of the path leaning against one of the massive, glittering trees. a slow, wolfish grin spreads across his lips as he pushes off from the tree to stand in their path, crossing his arms as the wind billows his cloak out behind him.]

Well well, what do we have here. The birthday girl in her birthday suit. How scandalous.

[reallywicked]

Who-? [Faye moves to stand in front of Andie by instinct. She's got magic and Andie's mostly just good at running away (or so she thinks). She's not going to let some jack ass hurt her friend on her fucking birthday.]

Who the hell are you?

[asap]

[Andie can do more than run away, but she's also more inclined to run than fight most of the time. She wouldn't abandon Faye, though. She stands a little behind her, clutching Faye's arms, and stares out at the guy.]

Is... is this some kinda trippy dream thing? Did you spike our drinks?
