[So Sweets is ... really confused.

He's thinking that this may just be another instance of Paradisa sending them somewhere else to mess with him for a while, but no one seems to know what Paradisa is.

The journals are gone.

He's watching a documentary about twine.

Eventually he makes his way out of the movie theater and starts wandering around Gebo, trying to figure out if there's anything he can learn about this place, but for the most part he's just really confused.

Help.]

Scott frowns at the maze he found himself in. How he got there was a mystery and how to get out was turning out to be impossible. He sniffed the air trying to find any scents to guide him, but all he smelled was plastic from the toys and plants from the maze.

His eyes narrow and he keeps walking along the corridors. The toys around him gave him the creeps. Flexing his hand, he let his finger tips grow into claws.

This isn't normally what Jax would go see at the movie theatre. Far from it. But he needed a place to think. A place that would most likely be empty, away from all this bullshit, from people, the risk of being asked "Hey, what's wrong?"

So, here he was, slumped down in his seat, feet kicked up on the chair in front of him, he doesn't care, and staring blankly at the screen. Thinking.

[All right, so the Doctor's disappeared again, but that's fine because Clara can make do until he turns back up again. At the moment, she's walking through the tunnel between barracks, admiring the sea life that swims by.

Moving up close to the glass, she waves at a mermaid, absolutely thrilled at even having the opportunity, before there's a noise behind her. Turning quickly, she's just in time to see a swirling portal and a little box fall out of it before the portal vanishes. She stares at the box for a moment, looks around to see if anyone else witnessed that, then steps closer to nudge the box with her foot.]

Okay, so my day just got a little more surreal.

[Naturally, Dr. K has gravitated to the city's one tiny bar, because being anywhere that isn't her world is something worthy of being celebrated. She's already had a few drinks, but there's still one thing missing from her celebration: bar food.]

Christ, how long does it take to make a grilled cheese sandwich? I am about this close...

[She snaps her split hook at the bartender.]

...to going back there and making it myself.

[And he's going to run smack into a biker.

Yep. Biker. Trussed up in leather jacket, kutte, patches, everything.

Jax takes a step back from that, Lance having run straight into his shoulder.]

Watch it. [A pause.] You okay?

He never liked having no memory of how something happened. It occurred to him far too often. Anxiety swelled up on the inside and while his expression betrayed nothing but a stone calm look, he couldn't help recall all those flashes. Waking up roadside; hotel room; a gun in his hand with no idea why. He's weaponless, he feels that weight gone.

The man tries to think back. He seems to be standing in the midst of a park when the last thing he remembers was that he was just about to enter the training facility. He was just about to find some kind of answer. Why, how, who? This doesn't make sense. Sharp blue eyes look around. The man's not tall but he's built and he carries himself squarely. He's a soldier, no doubt. It practically radiates off of him.

Finally there's a shift in his expression; a dip in his brows.

[Ruby doesn't understand where she is. Did she finally get sent back home to find Storybrooke overrun by a topiary maze? She wouldn't put it past Regina. But what if she was still in the Nysgod realm? What had happened now?]

Hello?

[She stops in place and listens carefully, knowing she'll hear someone also out in the maze much more clearly than a normal person would. When she detects movement not far away, she starts to move herself.]

Hey! Can you hear me? How do we get out of here?

Edited 2013-12-07 02:05 (UTC)

He's been taken again. Taken away from his family.

The explanation the Nygods gave him wasn't satisfactory. He only had one love, but it had taken David every ounce of his being to stop Delta. Stop him from doing something both of them would regret.

Your time will come.

He's certain Delta, Bourne, would be needed in this place, but, for now, he was content to bide his time. People on the network said time stopped still while he was here. Maybe it was true, part of him called it impossible. But still, he was here, wandering around a park, getting a sense of his surroundings.

He was busy looking up at a tree when he just walks square into the back of someone, staggering back.

"Oh... God. I'm so sorry."

The hairs on the back of his neck almost set fire the instant he hears someone approaching. Little too late to move, he quickly spins on a heel and takes some steps back. Muscles tense and all too ready to launch himself in defense.

When his eyes land on the other man and looks him down, he relaxes just a touch.

"Yeah," David tries to smooth it out like he had just been shocked by it, but there's no way someone would move that rigidly as the other man might know. A hand comes to rub the back of his neck for a moment. "Hey... It's okay."

David doesn't even remember 'the talk'. Seems like he skipped all of that and ended here. In a park. Nothing familiar but the ground and trees.

Why Leela was watching "The History of Twine" was beyond her. It was incredibly boring. The warrior, who was indeed clad in her animal skins, let out a very loud sigh and slouched in her seat. She never was one for sitting still, let alone watching something this boring. Of course, the Doctor might tell her she was learning something, but what was interesting about twine? Leela could weave twine for herself if she needed it, she didn't need to watch a talking-picture about it.

Though suddenly, she realized something was mewing. Blinking, Leela sat up and saw a ball of fluff sitting beside her foot.

"What do you want?" She spoke to it as though it would actually speak back.

[Helena wasn't one to frequent bars or pubs, she had better things to do with her time. But times called for a drink that day. She was at the bar with a glass of scotch when she heard a slightly familiar voice. Looking over, she saw a woman who, well, looked exactly like her.]

Bloody hell... [Helena muttered and shook her head slightly.]

That's certainly one way to get things done.

Sarah Jane has the fortune of obtaining a cat here in Gebo, but the misfortune of not being able to keep the silly creature at bay in her room! Luka seemed to run off everywhere!

Sarah Jane had been looking everywhere for a good hour, but then sighed with defeat when she stepped into the the theater where she saw the warrior woman looking intently at something.

"Hello there, is everything alright?" She didn't want to think she had lost her cat, but perhaps she really had this time.

What. Was. That?

[Sarah Jane was coming from her room, getting ready to start her shift at the ~~labor camp~~ music box line when she saw everything Clara had.

She moves forward to stand just a foot away from Clara, staring at the box that had fallen before them.]

What could it be?

[He probably should have taken a right after that second left. Or, maybe he should have gone straight through, rather than take the right before the first left. Regardless, he was lost now, and no matter what turn he made where only ended up putting Caius deeper into the maze.

So, what does a person do?]

MARCO!

[Hey, it's worth a try.]

[Mazes were always interesting and being a reader came with horror stories about the garden mazes, so there was no way that Devi wasn't going to try and have at least one honest go of the challenge. For the greatness in her sense of time, her sense of direction is crap and she's stopped at a dead end, staring at the wall of green with debates of just tearing through it.

But an honest go, right? With a shake of her head, she turns around and hears 'MARCO' called out. After a second, and no other answers, she replies herself. Can't just leave that hanging.]

POLO!

Scar was relieved to leave behind the constant bustle and noise of the shipping center as he stepped onto the shuttle back to the dorms. He hated working for these bastards, but the food and living space had quickly run out when he refused to. Surly as always, he minded his own business as he took his seat alone.

There was, however, one oddity.

A kitten, soft and a little on the thin side, had wandered to his side and settled on the chair next to him. It mewed, nuzzling Scar's side as it looked for attention. Expression unchanging, he turned his head to look at it. The kitten stared back.

After a moment's silence, he reached out with a hand nearly as large as the cat itself, and began to pat it.

Leela watched the cat as it looked up at her and tried to get her attention. "What is it, fluffy one?"

Hearing someone speak to her, Leela looked up at the other woman. "I had just been bored by this...talking picture, then this little creature seemed to have just appeared." Looking down at the creature again. She wasn't exactly certain what to do with the creature. "Do you know where it came from?"

[Now stopped at yet another leafy green intersection, not expecting anyone to answer, the Immortal stood scratching his head when he heard the female voice echo. Caius spun on his heel, and began walking towards it.]

MARCO?

"Luka!" Sarah exclaimed loudly and dashed to the front where Leela was. "Oh, it's my cat! I had been looking for her everywhere!"

She scoops up the fluffy cat and hugs it close to her chest, "Thank you for finding her!" She pulls away watching the small thing struggle to get out of her arms, "Now really, you're spoiling everything."

Turning back to Leela, "I'm sorry for disturbing you and your film." She glanced over to the screen, pausing to really see what was playing.

[The call came back and she looked left and right at her T intersection. Her ears are better then her sense of direction, and he sounded to the left, so that the way she went.]

POLO.

It's quite unusual for her to be lost like this, and Sexy is actually enjoying it. Somewhat, at least. Wandering has always been her forte, but she usually had a general idea of where she was wandering to, at the very least.

So here she is, just sort of floating about, wondering just who brought her here - and how, naturally. Because her box is missing - how very peculiar, hm?

[This was not Chicago. This was not Chicago at all.

The man in the simple clean black suit adjusted his hat as he looks around at the little bar he'd found himself in. He's not sure how he got here, but since he is..

A finger is lifted to try and catch a waiter's eye. The voice that accompanied it was accented.]

Uh, Excuse me Sir. I need an order of dry toast, please.

....Ugh...

[A low groan comes from the woman with a mass of curls resting her head against her knees. She's just waking up, from an impromptu nap? Groggily, she raises her head and tilts it back slowly to look up at the sky, only stopping once the bushes behind her hooked on her curls.

Was she in a garden? There wasn't any garden like this where she lived now, and she couldn't remember using her vortex manipulator at any point...

It took her several minutes to get her bearings, but it became clear that this was a mystery. And she liked mysteries. As she wobbily got to her feet, she decided to make the most of an unusual situation and try to solve it.]

Where the HELL am I?! Get me out of here!

[Twenty five minutes or more of wandering amidst the topiary displays made her temper skyrocket; it began to feel more like a cage than a decorative puzzle, and River Song hated cages.

She didn't even have the comfort of her blaster or a pocket knife to try the destructive way out. All she could do was shout.]

[it should be normal for Lydia to just find herself in strange places now. It's been happening far too often for her own good anyway, and usually results in dead bodies. This time around, she's feeling remarkably relieved: there have been no dead bodies so far. No screaming, no bodies.

[But then again, none of the people she knows, either.

[It's all very disconcerting, though - she knows the place only vaguely, with most of the original tour going right over her head. That's how Lydia found herself standing in the barracks tunnel, watching all manner of fish go by. It's sort of interesting, she supposes; it's definitely not Beacon Hills. But hey: maybe that's a good thing.

[Or it will be, once she gets that pretty little head of hers screwed on properly.]
