IC: David stops and pivots, using his zoom camera with nightvision to try and see what is making the sound.
“Everyone please remain calm,” he says in a tense voice. “Stay together and keep moving.”
Despite his own words, Carter does not appear very calm himself.
The sound doesn’t change volume as they continue to move. Rustling corn can be heard; first to the left, then up ahead. They come across a three way fork in the path.
Ike “Let’s go straight.”
“Welp, appears we’re being stalked by another nasty. Just great. Let’s just hope nobody here’s scared of the Predator, or we’re all totally screwed.”
Bailey did the predator noise as loud as he could, just for fun
“Alright, straight it is.” Every third step, Simon pivots three hundred sixty degrees, scanning the area around them and keeping his knife ready.
James also looks around himself nervously as they continue, hoping against hope that the zombie wouldn’t come back.
The noise fades behind them as they travel further into the maze.
Bailey shudders please no more dolls
IC: David moves to take the lead, or a leading position again, looking around with a very disquieted demeanor. He keeps looking around to and fro, as if trying to catch sight of the thing that is following them.
“Stupid frakking thing. Why is it taking us so long to find the exit? What, did it disappear or something…?”
He shuts up and keeps walking, but keeps a careful eye on their surroundings.
IC: David attempts to survey the area they are wandering in with his camera, looking for any anomalous activity.
The trio walk peacefully
Simon looks about warily.
“Where the hell is the way out!?”
IC: David shrugs, and kicks at some stalks. “No idea. Maybe we should try making a controlled fire, like a fire pit or something. Perhaps whatever is keeping us in here will let others in. At least we might get some more equipped civilians here, or maybe some responders.” He shrugs.
“I really don’t know.”
“You really want to start a fire?” Lauren asks. “You’ll burn the whole place down.”
IC: David shrugs. “Given we’ve walked more distance than the maze should realistically have, and found nothing, it would be less painful than starving to death. Though that was not really my intention…I’m not high on ideas right now.”
“so after, what, an hour of walking in a corn field you want to burn it down.” Bailey sighs “it’s a corn field. They’re big. We might strayed from the path and got lost. Maybe not. Well make it our, just give it some time.”
“You’re right, it’s been a while.” The fact seems to relieve Lauren. “Pretty soon Kara’ll come looking for us. She knows the maze. We’ll be fine.”
IC: “Wonder what she’s been doing for the past few hours then,” David deadpans. “Whittling wood sculptures, or perhaps practicing whistling? Or generally not being here.”
