Weeks pass, and he doesn't catch a single card.
When cards become active, he goes looking. They just disappear before he gets there.
He's getting worried, and he's not sure he's satisfied with Kero's explanations.
He tries to focus on school.
"I'm on my way. I suspect he'll be embarrassed no matter which of us rescues him, but I do hope you get through first."
She hangs up.
So she closes her eyes and doesn't quite use magic and focuses on that feeling.
Alistair tries treating the Maze like a maze.
Does he actually have any clue which way he's going?
He calls his date.
"Sadde? I'm not sure I can get out of this on my own."
"I was trying to look at the place, magically, but it's... bizarre. All folded into itself. I could try to guide you from outside, though, maybe."
She closes her eyes and concentrates again. She is not very good at this, and remains silent for a few minutes.
Eventually: "Okay, I think I have... some... idea of where you should go. Can you take a step forward so I'll know where you're facing?"
"Ow that was confusing. Okay no, hold on." A few more seconds, then: "Do it again."
"Okay, I think I got this. Geeze, this is definitely not anything resembling something Euclidean, what the heck, why would Clow create something like this. Turn around and take a left once you find a left."
Turning around leads him more deeply into the bathroom where it does indeed bifurcate.
She continues giving directions, and sometimes asks him to retrace his steps and go somewhere else.
Scott approaches the bathroom.
Kero is in his bag, of course, but hopefully he doesn't pop out right now.
She stops giving the directions and looks at them. "The men's bathroom is, uh, closed off for repairs."
"Yeah, we're here to handle that. We're specialists. Who you gonna call? Us."
He pats his backpack, turning it away from Sadde.
"Kero, which one? Be subtle..."
