Current Music: Psychonauts Title Theme

(no subject)

You find yourself in a place.

This place, in fact, is somehow, inexplicably, a reflection of your own mind.

There are a few doors scattered around. They don't belong—they are styled to belong to other places. Stepping through the doors lets you visit the places like this that belong to the people you know.

What do you do?

Oh, look. Another new person appearing out of nowhere and staring at Wyn. (She's starting to get sick of that reaction, to be honest.) "Hi." she says, looking up and lifting a hand in greeting to the new girl, then immediately returns to picking specks of dried paint off of her sleeve.

"Hi," says Grace. She seems to be a quiet one and more awkward than Sam.

Something hits her in the back at high velocity. Something small and paintball-like because... yeah, there's a splash of red paint.

Sam bites his lip.

Grace shouts "DEAD!" and assumes the position of, well, death. Sniped!

"Linda?" she asks Sam.

"Yep."

Grace makes a pfff noise. Sam just continues to try not to laugh.

Sam looks over at Wyn. "Our sniper," he says, trying to keep his voice down now. No need to give the other team intel!

"Ah." Wyn says, giving 'dead' Sam a quick grin. At least he's bothering to explain things to her, which is nice. She was prepared for the awkward silence to continue for at least five more minutes. "Does the other team have a sniper, or do they just get mines?"

"We can all snipe, but Linda's best at it. Grace's good with explosives," Sam continues, though hushed. Oh hell, he's decided. If anyone hears him, it doesn't matter. He's dead and they already know all of this stuff anyway. Grace kind of eyes him, disagreeing but not saying anything.

Oh. Hello there Chief.

"Callahan?" Chief, you see, has memorized the crew roster.

And he's here now. He's awfully quiet for being seven feet tall and weighing half a ton. Anton's visible for a moment, having lead him up here, but the young Spartan immediately ghosts off into the trees to continue the game.

Sam shoots the Chief a slightly curious look, but gets no response. Grace watches patiently.

"Hi, Chief!" Awkward smile is awkward, and so is the tiny wave she gives the Spartan.

He nods in acknowledgment, then eyes Sam. "As you were, Spartan."

"Sir," Sam replies.

"Follow me," the Chief says to Wyn. "I can get you back to the center where you can get out of here." He'll wait until she moves, then lead the way.

'Good luck', Sam mouths behind his back.

'You too' Wyn mouths back as she quickly gets out of the Chief's way. She feels uncomfortably like a child who's been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
