"So I have to ask, where can I get a pair of glasses like that?"

It was a pretty honest question all things considered. Maybe the way she stopped them right in the middle of the street could have used a little work but it was an important question. Wasn't everyday someone had such a stylish pair of shades out in the city.

"I mean I'll say it outright they look really cool. And all I got are some pretty big ones but they aren't nearly as practical as yours!"

These things were bound to happen, from time to time, in his line of work. Currently his feet were off the ground, his body being lifted and crunched against a wall via his collar by a large, but stony-faced, man.

Breathing was slightly difficult, but he attempted to speak anyway.

“S-sssir, I-I understand that....you’re, just doing your job. B-but I assure you, g-given the chance to ssspeak with your employer, this sssituation will...c-conclude, far sssimpler.”

The man pressed his burly hand harder against Byron’s throat and he sputtered and coughed. A warning. Ah well.

“W-why do all this--this extra, work, when you can take me to...to your, employer? N-no dry-cleaning, or find-ing clev....er ways to dispose of my body.”

He understood he wasn’t in the best area of the city, considering this goon was harassing him right out in the open and no one had protested, but his eyes still scanned along those walking by, hoping someone would stop.

Not that he needed help, necessarily, but a distraction would help him get out of this.

Why he even bothered to participate and set foot in this place was beyond him... Well that’s a lie. He’d done it for the hefty reward at the end. Of course... 20,000 dust?! You’d have to be Daft to try and pass up such a shining opportunity!! But still, the deep seated feelings weighing in Cortex’s chest made him tip-toe through the maze slowly. Volunteers they may be, but those Ascended costumes certainly didn’t help. Blessed with night vision as he believed vampires had, making his way through the labyrinth was hardly a difficult task!! Take a left, go back, take a right, take another right, pass come to a crossroads, and run in fear at the mortifying creature barreling towards his person!! Nyarlathotep? No, thank you!! Quick feet carry him around a sharp corner, forcing the ‘creature’ to hurry past, barely avoiding capture. “Haahhh... Haaaahh... BLAST IT!! I’ll never get to the end at this rate!! Bah... That twenty thousand dust is beginning to look less and less appealing...” Pinching at his beard, he gives it a few strokes before continuing the conversation with himself.

“Mmm... Perhaps if there was a way for me to fix the odds to my favor... Ah-hah!! A quick stun blast on those oafs should do it! Hmhmhm...” But doing that would certainly get him kicked out in an instant, now wouldn’t it? Barred from participating a second time. Bye-Bye prize money. “Oooh!! My hovercraft should-” One glance at his smartphone and he could see the app was restricted. Cheeky, showrunners. Very cheeky. “UUUUGH!! Come now, man!! You’ve devised the most devious devices!! Gotten through the worst of the worst!! Even lay bare your traps, tricks and inventions in the most devastating manner that would be an insurmountable level of hell even for the most knowledgeable beings!! Like yourself!! Ugh... Why I arranged those lasers in that manner is beyond me... in my own castle even. And was it REALLY necessary to litter those Nitro Crates EVERYWHERE?!” A pause. ...A very long pause. “Who am I kidding? Of course it was~!! Hmhmhmh~ If I can overcome THAT, surely I can navigate through this simple little maze~ ...But How?!” Truly, this was just a small obstacle in the path towards his inevitable victory!! Rubbing at his temple now, Cortex kicks his feet up, trying to strategize. “Come onnnn!!! Think, Cortex! Think!! ...Ah-” Wait just WHAT did he kick his feet up onto?

...Nothing. He was reclining in midair... He’s Hovering. “...Hohohoh. How did I overlook such a crucial detail?! I have the mastery of flight now!!” Pride brimming, he plants himself back onto the ground, eager to test this further. On three, he’d bound into the air and simply fly above the maze!! Of course!! One... Two...!! Knees bent, he pauses. Before he even gets to three, the haunting echoes of footfalls approach. No, not footsteps. The clicking of hooves... Something equine? Straightening up, Cortex hesitantly peers over his shoulder to see what awaits him. A Minotaur? Kirin? ...Headless Horseman? What he lays his eyes on... “AHHH!!!” With another attempt to try and fly away, he leaps off the ground. Gravity is quick to reclaim him however, as the cape around his neck tugs at him uncomfortably and forces him to the ground. What?! What?! What could it b- ...Really? “AHHHhhhhh...
