eightieth labyrinth [backdated to the 24th]

[lord_wizard]

[It had taken a few days of researching before Felix was relatively sure of how the situation had to be handled, and after the incident the day before, it became clear that stalling any longer would only lead to people getting hurt if the Mara felt more ambitious in it's pranks.]

[filtered away from the Mara/The Fifth Doctor]

For the safety of everyone, I believe it's time we dealt with the Doctor's loss before it gets even further out of hand. For anyone that wishes to assist, come to Chimera headquarters in room 529 as soon as possible. Bring with you a mirror or any sufficiently reflective item. I am planning to lure the Mara to the room, where I have installed some magic items - the crystals Phoebe left us - to hopefully trap him there. According to our research, showing it it's reflection will force it out of the host, where it can properly be dealt with. Stay in the side room until the trap activates and be prepared for a fight.

I have what you asked for. Please come to room 529 and we can speak...privately.

I suppose so. [Tabby put herself at risk for him, after all. He's still not sure why...]

[Felix]

[rose_of_battle]

You don't believe that?

[If they had been friends, the answer's right there.]

[Sheena]

[lord_wizard]

It's not that I haven't seen that in practice, it's that I sometimes struggle to understand why you'd do so much for someone who is not family. Friends come and go, after all.

Except for a few exceptions, friends are usually the ones who choose to be with you, accepting you for who you are--faults and all.

[Sheena]

[lord_wizard]

Maybe you don't know many people with very many faults.

[Felix]

[rose_of_battle]

Oh, I wouldn't say that. Just about everyone has faults, Felix, so it's hard not to know someone with them.

[Sheena]

[lord_wizard]

I suppose that is true...[It's more the number or severity that he's getting at. The great amount that he himself possesses - or at least, think he possesses.]

I will see you at headquarters.

[Felix]

[rose_of_battle]

It is, Felix.

[True friends don't care about how many or how great. And usually, it's the person in question who thinks their faults are more than they actually are.]

Okay! In fact, I'm actually almost there.
