[open to anyone stuck in the mazes]

With all the preparation for the confrontation with the Ohm, the battle itself, and the immediate aftermath, most of the crew were naturally focused on current events. But some crewmembers weren't so up to date on what was happening.

Mainly because they were stuck running mazes with GLaDOS. No matter what was happening the eternal, endless, quest for cake always continued.

[[ooc: okay, so this is basically just a general running-around-the-mazes log for my characters that are stuck running mazes with GLaDOS. It basically covers about a week before Lirath, Lirath itself, and a couple of days after - so anyone who was GLaDOS'd during that time can tag in. Marco, Celestia, and Daja each have their own thread, and Zita might tag in on occasion with GLaDOS herself if she has time.]]

Over an endless series of ledges hovering in the air ran Princess Celestia. The Princess was a little perplexed to find herself back in this maze so soon - but at least this time she knew the purpose. As Princess, she knew that taking care of one's health (and one's soul was important), so she cheerfully ran along charging into gigantic star statutes and leaping up to catch the glittering pixies, as instructed. Every now and then a pod of dolphins would leap up beside her, and always as she ran she was accompanied by a catchy tune.

Honestly, this was new to him. He was struggling to keep up with the frenetic pace of this. . .maze, he guessed he could call it, though there wasn't much to it. Running in a straight line and leaping from ledge to ledge with a vast emptiness stretching below him. He huffed, scrambling onto the next ledge and wishing, not for the first time, he hadn't been pulled into GLaDOS' maddening little test. Then, he caught a glimpse of--was that winged unicorn? With a very beautiful flowing mane?

What was going on here?

Oh, Celestia how company! She looked over to the new arrival cheerfully.

"Hello!" she called. "Are you enjoying your run?" she said, just before smashing another star.

Ter'thelas stared for a moment before answering in a rather nonplussed manner.

"I've had better, I must admit. Not quite what I'm used with all the leaping and. . .er. . .star smashing." He's quiet for a moment as the pair take a running leap across another gap.

"Sir Ter'thelas Baelion. I don't believe I've met you before. Come aboard recently?"

"A pleasure to meet you, sir Ter'thelas," Celestia said. "I am Princess Celestia. And yes, I have only been awake a short time. In fact I've spent much of it in these very mazes. And how long have you been on the ship?

Polite as she was, it didn't stop her from leaping up to catch a pixie as she talked.

"A few months. I think. Time is easy to lose--" He grunted as he leaped through another star. "--lose track of on board."

"The pleasure is all mine, Your Majesty." This was so strange. A unicorn with wings. That was also a princess.

"Yes, it is," Celestia said, her voice solemn. There were many things that she missed from home, but she had found that the absence of the sun, and its marking of the passage of time, was what ached the most.

"Have you been in the mazes long?" she inquired.

"Not that long from what I can tell. It's rather a recent development." He took another running leap, breathing in evenly, despite the rather long time they seem to have been in motion.

"Not much of a maze, is it?"

Celestia leaped to reach the next ledge, and then leapt again, dodging underneath a higher floating ledge at the same time. "I suppose it isn't!" she said, laughing. Her tone turned teasing. "But it is an enjoyable challenge nonetheless, don't you think?"
