Game Over Labyrinth

[Gifted]

Gifteds

A plain, white room, with a single door. Perfectly square. relativley small. No features. There is nothing in the room, nor in your pockets.
A TV screen comes down from behind a panel in the wall. The following words are on the screen:

Welcome (Your characters full name here)! Welcome to The Game Over Labyrinth. You have been transported here via illusion, nobody will know you are gone.
Don't let that placate you however. When you die in the game, you die for real. Find your way through the maze and reach the end boss.
You are not the only player in this game. Three allies will also be moving through the maze, trying to find the exit.
But just as there are allies, there are enimies as well. A team of agents has been sent to hunt you down. Avoid them, or kill them off, for they seek your death.
If you search carefully, you may find a powerup in each room you come to.You may have to take risks to get them, but if you do, the rewards will be staggering.
Good luck. Your going to need it.
Let the game begin.

Agents
A concrete bunker, furnished on the inside with simple cabinets to store wepons, and large white capsules against the back wall. Each capsule has a pair of numbers beside it. 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, 2-6, 2-7, 3-1, 3-3, 3-4, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4 and 10-10 are all there. Also there are small white handheld devices, which show a map of the maze with five dotes on it, each a different colour. Four are at the starting point, but one is in one of the rooms. There is a large white button on the bottom of the device, and a clip on the back so you can clip it to your belt. A projector points at a white screen on the far wall. It turns on, and a message is displayed:

Welcome, Agents. Welcome to the Game Over Labyrinth. You have been transported here via illusion, nobody will know you are gone, and it will take up none of your time.
Four Gifteds have been sent to their own starting points in the maze. The maps you see on the table will help you track them. Gifted Number one is blue, Gifted number two is red, Gifted number three is yellow, and Gifted number four is green, as shown. The pink dot will not leave the room she is in currently until she is set free, by yourselves or one of the Gifteds. She could be a powerful resource or a deadly enemy for the side that sets her free. Risk it if you choose.
If a Gifted manages to kill you, do not worry, you will siimply respawn back at base after a few seconds. This effect is not permanant, however, after three deaths, your lives will run out. You will die if you are killed four times, so use your freedom wisely. You will be let out, if you haven't died, when all four Gifteds are dead. Each of them need only be killed once.
When you exit, you can move down the hallway directly in front of the bunker and knock twice on the wall you meet. It will swing open, allowing you to join the labyrinth. If you prefer a quicker method, you can use the teleportation devices you see behind you.
Each room is labled with a pair of numbers, and each pod transports the user to one room. To return to base, simply press the white button on your map.
Lastly, each room is equipped with a hidden weapon, which whomever finds it can use. This includes the Gifteds, of course. The weapons are the only ones in the entire labyrinth, other than powers, obviously.
Good luck. I hope you don't need it.
Let the game begin.

Where am I?
The hazy thought comes to mind as he stares up at the blank ceiling. As he sits up to get a better idea of his situation the screen comes into view.
Welcome Lark!
It reads then continues.
After the explanation is passed he sighs deeply.
“Great... If normal life wasn’t difficult enough, now they had to make a game for it.”
At this statement a sharp chirp comes from behind. He turns, expecting he knows its cause, but is surprised none the less. A dark blue cockatiel sits resting on the strings of a polished wood violin, its feathers fluffed up it its confusion.
“Truly, you’re here a well?”
Truly looks up blinking, and responds by fanning its head crest.
Lark kneels down to pick up Truly and the violin, he paused on standing, looking for the violin’s bow. Truly clambers up onto his shoulder and squawks, pointing to a corner of the room where the bow lies. After retrieving the bow they spot the door. Truly looked to it with a cocked head. Seeing as it was the only way, Lark tries the door and finds it open. With cautioned steps he heads out into the maze. Once in the maze Truly climbs up onto Lark’s head, blending in somewhat, as Lark’s hair color matches Truly’s feather coloring. Though Truly could also blend in well enough on his shoulder, being as Lark wore blue as well. While deciding which way to go Lark looks to a thin gold band strapped around his left wrist. A long string of numbers circulates it. He’s had it on him since the first day he remembers. Though that isn’t much, considering he only remembers about a year back.


“Wooooot! We get to play a game. A game with an advantage with out using cheat codes first.” A redheaded female agent says excitedly. She looks around at the maps and pods that line the room.
“This is like... A movie or something. Or some random role play you’d see on some board.” She said in conclusion to herself.
While passing back to where she’d stood before she suddenly shape shifts to a different form. This one being a green haired male.
“And there are like, weapons and stuff.” He says looking to one of the maps, wondering where the hidden ones were.
He looks to the pods and starts walking over towards them. Half way he shifts into a female gray tabby cat and examines the pods more closely. Not even Malice can state what his or her actual gender is. As from the time Malice was born it was continuously changing forms, not being able to hold one for more then a minute at a time. Now Malice is able to hold a form for about an hour if concentrating, but when excited or stressed shifts forms rapidly. Malice was chosen as an agent for its keen ability to copy others not only in looks but in voice, temperament, and actions; even from a simple photograph. Though seeing the one to copy worked more efficiently. It is unsure of which is Malice’s greater weakness. It’s inability to hold a single form for very long. Or being somewhat insane.

After the screen,Tuesday sighed deeply. She was surprised that the fist thing that came out of her mouth was "Is this legal?!" and she was surprised to find her voice echo through the room. The room looked suspicious, so she ran her icy blue eyes over it quickly, for she was not a girl of cautiousness. At seventeen years old, she thought life was a joy ride. She shuddered, making her long, curly, red locks fly in her face. She had the odd feeling of being watched... but shook it off, and went for the door. Just as she touched the handle, a hand grabbed her arm....

[Raven]

Pierce woke up, looking around. Waking up in strange places wasn't a new experience to him. Waking up with instructions was. "O-o-oh n-no," he murmured, but he didn't have any more time to react before Zach came out to play. After quickly reading the message, he sighed. "God dammit. I hope Sandra's okay." With that, Zach stood up and exited the room.

If there was one word you could use to describe Ryu, it was uncomfortable. She moved as far away from the others as she could, pressing into a corner of the room.
Shatter grinned, grabbing one of the maps, and a capsule at random. He wondered how the capsules worked.

[Gifted]

Lark walks, and after several twists and turns, he comes to a door. It is unlocked. A gold plaque on it reads "Level 1-1"

[Jay]

Tuesday turned "H-hello?" she asked a tall man "You must be an agent...." she said slowly, the man nodded.He had a hold of her green shirt. Tuesday swallowed hard. Then, smiled. He held a lazer gun, pointed at her. "Guess you didn't get the memo..." she said with a smile as the blast hit, she absorbed it, and sent the man on the ground. She ran quickly through the door,shutting it behind her.

[Gifted]

Ruby grinned. "Interesting. You up for it, Wenkeling?"
"Of course. It'll be nice to finally have a challenge again," Joan said curtly. After capturing and imprisoning her so-called "friends" she'd remembered Ruby and gone back for her one Friday night. She'd found Ruby with her hand around Nicoles throat. "Hey, Ruby. We don't want any of our subjects killed before testing" she called.
"Oh, bite me," Ruby'd snapped, not letting go of Nicole, who struggled uselessly.
"You don't want to be doing that. I may reconsider my option to let you join the agency."
"I don't wanna be a stupid agent," Ruby had retorted.
Joan had smiled. "Oh really? But you'd be able to kill gifteds any time you want," When she got no response, Joan had added "And nobody's going to try to let Cristel back out,"
Ruby had stopped. She let go of Nicoles throat and Nicole sunk to the floor. "You drive a hard bargain," She'd said with a smile.
"Damn straight. So you in?"
"Alright. Get me out of this infernal cage,"
Since then, the two girls had been practically partners.
"Pity they took your knife though," Joan commented.

"Meh, I'll get a new one somewhere. These teleporting devices are cool," Ruby smiled. "Let's get moving. I want to find a gifted so I can make them scream,"


Justin watched the two girls go. He was here to serve his country. The government said the gifteds were dangerous to the country, so he helped wipe them out.
He wasn't sure all the people here had the same noble reasons.
He wasn't intimidating to look at. He was 21, but small and thin for his age, with thin hair of an ugly mouse brown colour, small features, and sometimes glasses. Today he wasn't wearing them, but his brownish-black eyes looked too small without them. But he'd been trained for the army before the gifted threat had emerged, and was skilled in all manner of weaponry. His power was not useful in a combat situation, not unless he happened to have guns in that hole he created. But his hole had been cleaned out the day before, and he had no weapons on him. he'd have to find these weapons hidden fast. Then he'd be able to be useful.
Then he could preform his duty.

Tuesday ran until she came to a door. The door was unlocked. a gold plaque on it read "Level 4-4"

Zach walked until he came to a door. The door was unlocked. A gold plaque on it read "Level 2-2"

As Shatter stepped closer to a capsule, the white button on the map turned blue. The capsule he was nearest to opened.

[Sparrow]

Lark sighs after reading the plaque,
“Well... Here goes everything.”
Truly bobs its head in agreement. With that Lark opens the door and peers in, ready to slam the door shut if need be.

[Gifted]

Lark is standing at one end of a long, black hallway. The floor seems to have dissappeared, it looks like a long, long fall. A music box sits on the ledge Lark is standing on.

[Jay]

Tuesday opened the door slowly, quivering. "H-hello?" she called weakly. She hoped these "allies" got here soon.

[Gifted]

Tuesday is in a plain white room with a high ceiling. There is no door. There are red crayons on the floor, and a sketch of a grenade on a wall.

[Sparrow]

Truly nearly takes flight but Lark calms it. He looks to the music box.
“Okay, this has bad written all over it.”
Cautiously he attempts to pick the music box up to better examine it.

[Jay]

"What the heck is going on here?" she asked, looking at the room in wonderment. "Well, here goes." she said slowly, walking through...

[Gifted]

Lark can pick up the music box. it's rather unremarkable, and doesn't lock.
