[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Why are you denying facts?"

"I would think that our chances of survival would increase if we ran into him," he admitted grudgingly.

"Of course," she said simply and turned to Tom, "What a shame."
She curled her fingers through his hair and then suddenly jerked his head back, making Tom cry out in pain. His eyes shot open and he struggled against his restrains, veins popping out of his neck.
"Morgana, don't," Edward hissed, eyes wide in shock.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Facts?" he said innocently. "Nah."

She smirked a little. "I think we'll be fine."

Peter took another few steps forward. "Why continue this when you have us right where you want us?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"They are totally facts," she scoffed.

"I'm trusting you."

"You speak as if I don't," she said, relaxing her grip only the slightest.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Your definition of facts must be off."

"Well, thanks."

"You certainly aren't acting like it."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You're self-perception is off."

"Don't mention it."

She hummed in reply. "Let's say I do release Tom to you," she said lightly and petted Tom's hair lightly, "What would you offer me?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Nah, that can't be it."

"I'll make an effort not to."

He took another hesitant step forward. "What do you want?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What, then?"

"I'd appreciate it."

"I asked first."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He shrugged, grinning. "Not sure."

"Why are you so hellbent on not showing any weaknesses ever to anyone but me?"

"What I offer depends on what you require."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Ooh, you're so helpful, James."

"Because people can exploit my weaknesses."

"I don't know what you have to offer."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's me."

"I don't see why anyone would do that."

"Yes you do."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She shook her head and shoved him lightly.

"You don't?" he asked in disbelief.

She raised her eyebrows. "Oh?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He laughed and responded by wrapping his arm around her waist. "Oh yeah?"

"Um. No, not really."

"You know much more than you let on. Always."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Don't touch me," she sniffed, biting back a smile.

"There are a lot of people out there that would take advantage of me," he said and then sighed bitterly. "Not that they haven't already."

"Well, you've got me," she said and exhaled slowly. "I need someone to help me carry out my plans."
"Why don't you just get someone else? Why do you need me and James?" Edward asked.
"Because you already know the ins and outs of my operation. I can't have too many people in on my trade secrets."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Aw, hey, why not?" he asked, trailing his fingers through her hair.

"How do you mean?"

"There must be something else you require."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Because you're a jerk."

"If you show weaknesses, people exploit them. Use them to get you to do what they want."

"Not really. Efficiency is what I need."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"But you love me, right?"

"Yeah, that's what people do in general. And people have tried to do that to me and I just haven't let them."

"Are you certain?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She tilted her head to the side. "Hmm, let me think .."

"Kudos to you."

"Are you questioning me?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Don't you?" he asked, kissing her temple.

"Thanks. You could afford to try that, maybe."

"I phrased my words in a question, yes."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I guess I do like bad guys sometimes," she teased.

"Try being the operative word."

"Of course I'm certain, then."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Lucky for me, I guess."

"You gotta start somewhere."

"Then perhaps you should try a different angle of negotiation. Obviously Edward is not going to settle for what you're trying to achieve."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She grinned. "Do you love me?"

"Of course. Are you keeping track of where we're going?"

"You said you had something to offer."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Oh, I don't know. Maaybe," he teased.

"Trying." She could almost hear voices from up ahead, but there was no door. She leaned against a wall, sighing.

"And you said you had something else you might perhaps want."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Only maybe?" she asked, eyebrows rising.

He frowns slightly. "At least we found other people."

"I've changed my mind."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Hey, you said "sometimes" so I think we're pretty even."

"Sort of." She leaned her ear against the wall, wondering what was on the other side.

"So soon?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Alright, deal," she laughed.

"Hope they're friendly," he said, lowering his voice.

"Are you honestly surprised?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Good."

She shrugged, still trying to listen. "I can't tell yet." She hoped saying those words aloud wouldn't alert anyone else to their presence.

"I had hope that you might change your mind."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Where the heck are they."

He nodded and leaned forward, hoping to catch tidbits of the conversation himself.

"Lucky you."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I have no idea."

"I mean, we've circled around this room, or whatever, for the past five minutes and there hasn't been a door."

"Apparently not."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"This is great. What if we get lost too?"

"Maybe there is none."

"No?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I don't know."

"Then how would they get in?"

((maybe morgana could be like "ooh guests" and just brings them inside? idk))

"No," he replied, smiling sadly.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"We're probably already lost."

"Magic, obviously."

((sounds good xD))

She opened her mouth to speak when she heard voices on the other side of the wall. She smirked when Edward visibly stiffened, then made her way to where the voices were coming from. She put her hand over the wall and an entryway soon materialized, revealing Michelle and Draco.
"Oh, hello."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"... Probably."

Mimi actually had the guts to grin. "Long time no see."
"Oh no," Peter muttered to himself.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Great."

"I'm surprised Edward let you come within a hundred meters of here," Morgana mused with a curl of her lips.
"We share the same sentiment," Edward murmured, looking both panicked and infuriated.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"We can stop here if you want."

"Actually, the path started disappearing behind us, so I had suspected you knew we were here the whole time." She sounded strangely calm.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"And do what?"

"I did have a strange feeling in the back of my mind."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Better than being lost, I figure?"

"Strange, or convenient?" Peter asked, frowning.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I guess," she said and looked behind her. She frowned. "The path is gone."

"Quite convenient," she smiled. "Why don't you two step inside?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Oh, wonderful."

She sighed and took only one step into the room so that the wall could close behind her.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Guess we just have to keep going."

"We've almost got the whole gang here, it seems."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"It's like we've stumbled into a horror movie."

"You already know where the others are, I bet."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Thanks for the comfort, James."

"On their way here," Morgana nodded.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's what I'm here for."

"Of course they are."
"And that's going to be your bargaining chip?" Peter asked, narrowing his eyes. "Everyone?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I just got chills."

"Do you think that will be the card I play?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's not a good sign.... Should we just poof out of here?"

"Perhaps."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Where to?"

"So are you also going to try and get me to release Tom?" Morgana asked, now turning to Mimi.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Anywhere."

"I mean, that would be nice, but I don't exactly have anything you want, now do I?" She took a few casual steps further into the room as if starting to pace.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What about the others?"

"On the contrary."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Can you text them?"

"Do tell."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Do we have service?"

"Well, you have something I intend to take away indefinitely," she said vaguely.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"No idea."

"If you could do that, you'd have done it already. Years ago."
