Elizabeth leaned over and looked down the hole. "wow. I would hate to be the poor person to fall down there and have no one save them. anyway, shall we move on?"

Sliver gave the girl a nod and started to walk away. However, she took another glance down the hole, then back at Nebi. "Do you want the coin back?" She asked him in his head.

(where in the order of replies shall I pop in?)

Nebi flinched when the girl's voice once again entered his head. He hated that--but then at the mention of the gold coin, he couldn't help but brighten a little bit.

"Y-yeah, sure, but...how are you going to get it?" He glanced around, noting that there wasn't anything to grab to lower someone into the pit.

(ooc: anywhere you want, Olthain, just hop right in!)

(Hm, is it okay to reply after Apprenticedmage so that you'll be in the order?)

(I was waiting for a good moment, but that's alright :p )

Elizabeth turned around when the offer came up. "Can you do magic silver?"

(sorry I can't pick in on that can you guys just keep going? I'll follow the RP and jump in a soon as I can)

(That's fine. ^^ If it makes you feel more comfortable then just find an opening ^^) Silver nodded and walked over to the hole, hovering her hand over it. Within seconds, the coin flew out of the hole and into her hand. She slim fingers curled around it then she held it out to Nebi.

Nebi's eyes went as round as the gold coin when it flew out of the pit to land in Silver's hand.

"Whoa. Thank you!" Apparently his discomfort with the mind-speech had vanished with this sudden display of magic. Or what he assumed to be magic.

Happily he accepted the coin back, looking it over. "Have you always been able to do that?" It was a handy trick.

Elizabeth stood at the end of the hall they were on and seemed to get the feeling they weren't alone in here. She didn't know why, but she felt that both someone was watching them and someone else was about to enter The maze.

(Sorry dude I meant to post something like this so you could join in but I had a brain fart on my last reply.)

( Brain farts happen ^^ it's alright, thank you, I can post on this one )

Elizabeth was right, the three of them weren't alone at all. In a connecting corridor was a young man, probably around 18-19-20 years old who had just woken up from an odd dream. It had shown him a man, or at least a shade of one. He blamed it on his blindness, since he couldn't envision the looks of an average human being at all, only the general shape.

He moved to sit upright and then froze. Underneath him was not his bed, but cold hard ground. Hesitantly he put his hand on the ground and closed his eyes, concentrating. He gave a soft push into it, then remained motionless as he could feel the ripple of his vibration spread out. A corridor... Multiple corridors... Lifeforms close to him.

Instead of checking again to see how many corridors there were exactly, he got up and started walking through his corridor while brushing his hand along the wall, keeping a constant "view" of where he was going. He then rounded the corner into the next corridor, the one where the others were in, if he was correct that is...

"Hello? Is anyone there?" The question would immediately give away his blindness, since he was seemingly staring down the center of the corridor where the three others were so obviously standing. He didn't care, he just wanted answers.

Silver shrugged at Nebi, but flinched when she heard a voice. Her head swiveled to the right as she looked down the long corridor. She blinked several times at the figure that stood at the end, staring at them.
Her eyes rested on him as she scanned his features. She frowned, not wanting to scare him off with her telepathic communication as she almost did with Nebi. She remained silent, letting the others handle the talking.

Nebi turned, the end of his chain clinking in his surprise when he heard another person hailing them.

"No, we're apparitions," he called back, totally missing the fact that the guy was blind. "Who are you and where'd you come from?"

He headed towards the new arrival, peering at him closely. Great, one girl who couldn't talk and now a guy who couldn't see? He waved his hand a little in front of Jayce's face experimentally.

Liz looked at the man. She didn't expect to see a blind man arrive here but then again she didn't expect to be in this situation in the first place. She rolled her eyes at nebi's comment and politely grabbed the man's hand to help him into the hallway. "Come this way, sir."

Jayce had to work hard to keep him self from grabbing a hold of Nebi's hand. Though he was officially blind, he had his way of sensing movement. For now though, maybe it was best no one knew of his ability. He didn't quite trust them yet.

He smiled in the direction of Elizabeth. "Thank you." and for good measure, added "so there's only two of you?", further showing that he had no idea about Silver's presence. Or at least making them believe so.

Silver frowned at his comment, shifting uncomfortably. Figuring that she was going to be with everyone for awhile, the might as well know. The only thing that she could do was hope for the best outcome.
"No... I'm here." Her voice echoed in all their minds, though it was small. Silver started at her feet, shuffling them shyly and nervously.

Nebi winced as the mind-speak once again echoed in his head. It was just something he wasn't used to--though he had a feeling he'd be getting more used to it, depending on how long it would take for him to get out of this maze.

He turned to check on the hole, making sure they didn't accidentally trod back over it as he reached into the coin purse and flipped another coin experimentally with another ting.

"There's three of us here," he replied, "but one of us doesn't speak normally. "Well, four of us now, I guess," he included Jayce. "You have a name?"

(Can't think of anyhting to reply with right now. Go ahead olthain.)

Jayce, while having noticed Silver was there, was surprised at the sudden echo in his head and couldn't hide it either.
"Right, I'll assume that'd be the third person?" he asked, quickly recovering from the initial shock.
