[color=silver][color=0099aa]"Pony, huh?"[/color] Duncan was unable to stop himself from grinning at the revelation. Yeah, he could see it. She definitely struck him as the type to want one, even in this day and age. [color=0099aa]"Now ain't that a cliché,"[/color] he teased, then gave a quick wink. [color=0099aa]"Cute, though." [/color]

He fell silent for a moment - [i]only [/i]for a moment - then declared, [color=0099aa]"Tell you what - if we make it out alive, we'll get you a pony." [/color] 

Despite the lingering grin and the carefree tone, there was a sense of determination to be found on his face. He was, in fact, serious. Yeah, there might be some issues with finding the money and lodging for a pony, but hell, you only lived once. If nothing else, this damn place had reminded him of that. So when he got out, boy, he was gonna [i]live.[/i] He'd get himself that sports car, too. The newest, fastest damn thing on the planet.

[color=0099aa]"We can always cash in on our story to get the dough for it. Must be [i]someone[/i] out there willing to make this a movie. Hell, I could play myself - always knew I was destined for stardom."[/color]

While he was busy blathering, Pebs opened the door without any issues. The darkness that awaited them on the other side was familiar by this point, and Duncan was no longer all that unnerved by it - especially after the discussion they'd just had. Somehow just thinking about life after they got out filled him with newfound vigor.

He pushed the door as open as it would go, hoping the light that poured through would help illuminate the way a little. At least until they found another switch. Duncan squinted his eyes and walked forth, only stopping when he realized the corridor split into three. He tried to look around in each direction to see if he could spot the familiar shape of a light switch - or some other source of light.

[color=0099aa]"Guess we found our maze,"[/color] Duncan mumbled, scratching the back of his head. He turned around to Pebs, arms crossed across his chest. [color=0099aa]"So what's the plan? Don't think splitting up's the way to go here, and we dunno how long each of these goes on for. Wanna whip out the map again and see if it fits the bill?"[/color]
