Dungeon Residential Camps, Somewhere, Friday

A strong wind tore through the hallways. Inside the camps, it was only audible: no breeze flicked into the large chambers themselves. Outside them, though, torches would flicker on and off on their own whim, exposing the dungeon's residents to errant grues.

There was something to be celebrated, though: when the maze shifted overnight, its paths crossed and connected all three camps. Time for a reunion.

[ camp one | camp two | camp three | ooc as of yesterday, everyone in camp 1 is free to assume they know about the first key and the vault. ]

"You don't think the figure's random?" Maddie asked, not having been here long enough to recognize anything.

"Nuh-unh." Dinah broke off a bit of cupcake and offered it to the other girl. "They had a locker the first day. There's one at the school that'll eat you and spit you out somewhere else if you're not careful. And there was some other stuff that you can only find on the Island. This is beyond creepy."

"Thanks," Maddie said, taking the bit of cupcake. "That's so messed up. So I guess they have to mean something?"

"Maybe?" Dinah frowned at the kraken, biting her lip. "I wish I'd been paying more attention to these little guys, if there is. Our luck, it's been spelling out an SOS for the last four days, and we missed the part about how to get out of here." She glanced over and smiled. "I'm Dinah, by the way."

"Maddie," she said. "I wasn't really paying attention, either. I just thought it was a random stuff. For the next crisis, I promise not to be so new."

"First one's always the worst," Dinah said, leaning against the fireplace. Okay, that wasn't quite true. But at least you knew you weren't going randomly crazy and the world wasn't out to get you by the second one. "We had harpies attack the island. God, they stank. How long have you been at Fandom?"

"Since January. We got through gender reassignment and kids and all that, but this is new," Maddie said.

Well, it was new for her in Fandom, anyway,

"If you or someone you know turns into a random animal, you might complete your first row of the Bingo card." Dinah took another tiny bite of the cupcake, and asked, "How are you liking it, aside from the random horrible kidnappings?"

"I like it, for the most part. Kind of thought I was getting away from the random kidnappings, though," she admitted, gesturing to her bandage costume. "And half the people from my universe are in Fandom. Cool classes, though."

"So that's a thing for you, back home? Suck." Dinah winced and tilted her head. "I was going to say, that's kind of different, but I wouldn't have asked."

"Yeah," she said with a sigh. "This is such a thing back home that I actually was grabbed by a villain who expected me to play games like this a few months ago. Makes this especially annoying."

"UUuuugh. How'd you get away?" Dinah had had that happen a couple times in New Gotham, but she always had Helena and Barbara watching her back. "And any particular reason, or is your world just infested with super villains?"

"Well... it is kind of infested with supervillains," Maddie admitted. "I was trying for the superhero thing at the time. The thing was, the guy wasn't as smart as he thought he was and accidentally left me an out, so I turned the tables on him and found my friends. I actually thought he was the one doing this at first, but he's a lot more... gloat-y."

"Yeeeah. This doesn't feel very personal, does it? Whoever this is, they're getting enough jollies that they don't need to do it face-to-face." Dinah grimaced. "Although if they did, maybe they know they'd get punched in it by however many people he's stuck in here."

"He's finding other ways to get personal." Maddie was going to be stuck with yesterday's thing for a while. "That's true, though. If he's been watching this place, he has to know it's going to end with a fight."

"Yeah." Of course, he transported them here without any effort, and had a whole insane mega-maze laid out for them. "There were clockwork robots at the room where I got my eskrima sticks back. And the whatever-they-are in the halls that have disappeared people." She gritted her teeth. "Still. If he bothered bringing us here, he knows how to send us back."
