Job 1x4 - Run Raptor Run!

"Found you!"

Now Playing...

Artist: Xaser Acheron

Song: Welcome to Die

A kick off the ground and running madly you start traversing the maze. The goal was not to complete it but hide from The Avenger. She knew the maze damn well and the only advantage you had was that you could be quieter than her. Even though the lights shined above like any other stadium your dark clothing and ability to crouch would cover that.

The plan was already figured out as you ran, keeping your breathing in check as the Avenger counted down.

The walls were 8ft tall, randomly arranged and covered in pictures of food on them. Lollipops, bags of chips and the sorts of things you wouldn't consume in a gymnasium. Some walls had rails on them attached for traversal. Grabbing one and proving your upper strength you practically vault up and over, just as you hear a shout from the entrance.

"Ready or not! Here I come!"

You land in a peninsular section, three walls on your sides and one back. A deadend. A set of barbells sat on the ground, chained to the walls. It was here that participants were expected to do bunch of curls or something for points. You duck in the corner, trying to peer through the cracks in the walls, looking for that giant bird.

You hold your breath, or at least try to balance exasperated breathing and staying silent, practically doing it manually now. After all, Bonnie was the one with super-hearing, not Chica.

The Avenger wasn't visible for a few seconds. Then she leapt atop the wall, hand on her forehead looking around. Did that count as cheating? Her eyes had changed to a bright red.

This alarmed you slightly, the possibility of Chica being corrupted and using this as a way to take you out. But she could do that at will. You look up, finding yourself beneath the viewing box above, Bonnie standing there, watching the Avenger ecstatically. You also knew that if anything happened, Bonnie would have no qualms against smashing the glass and jumping into the maze. You hope that she wasn't possessed.

You turn away, stepping away from the crack, hoping she couldn't see you through it.

You hear her jump from wall to wall, slowly scanning the nearby area. Those walls were far stronger than they looked, easily supporting her weight.

Bonnie was still in the viewing both, both hands on the glass, jaw ajar in awe at the match. Crap. Bonnie was looking right at you, occasionally switching glances to The Avenger, looking with amazement. Would she even be that clever? With your watch you hastily type up a message and send to Bonnie.

'stoplookingatmeyourgivingawaymypositoin'

Bonnie takes a second to understand but stops, immediately glancing up and whistling as if pretending to be innocent. He couldn't be any more suspicious. "Thanks Bonnie! Now I can find this evildoer!" The Avenger shouted. Oh yeah, they practically had photographic memory. She must have seen Bonnie.

Time to run.

She was moving fast, practically leaping from wall to wall. The sounds her landing and shaking the walls grew louder as she approached.

The goal wasn't to hide anymore. It was to somehow outrun a giant mechanical bird for sub-5 minutes.

How in the- Running fast, you spot a part where one could crawl under the wall. Perhaps another shortcut you don't mull on it, practically diving under it and getting out of sight.
