The audience thinks that's really dumb!

Although some of them should probably get back to what they were doing.

"I can stop time, remember?" he says wryly. "We'll be back in less than a second. Time!" Their surroundings turn green and everything except for the two of them is frozen. "What's up?"

"Remember when I decided I objected to magical card slavery so I didn't sign my name on my cards? I should do that before more get loose."

...he hands over Scott's Cards.

That about sums it up.

He writes his name on the available cards.

"I'll get started on tracking them down. You finish the show."

"I will."

Time resumes.

Scott will wander off towards the Maze, then.

The members of the audience that haven't realized they have things to do will watch eagerly.

Sadde can continue to play the host.

Meanwhile the Maze isn't too far away. Right over there, in the middle of the sidewalk.

Great. Sadde the Magnificent doesn't mind if he borrows some rope, does he? The Maze probably isn't smart enough to learn from its mistakes.

There is rope available! The Maze is probably not that smart.

Scott retrieves and applies the rope, tying it to a fire hydrant. Into the Maze.

The Maze has made quite a bit of a mess of this city. There are twin houses over there, and Scott can see the neighborhood bending Inception-style in the distance.

He's done this before. His key becomes his absurdly pink staff.

"Maze, return to your power confined."

Nnnnewp.

"Could you please turn into a card? I could help you turn all kinds of places into mazes that you can't even imagine?"

Nuh uh.

Yup. He tries calling out.

"Hello? Is anyone in here?"

"In here?" asks someone rounding a corner. "We're outside. Freaky outside," he admits, "but outside. I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming."

"Probably. Is there anyone else here?"

"Where's 'here'?"

"Oh, I don't know, did you see anybody in this area? Around that corner? Maze, return to your power confined."

"...no, what the hell did you just say?"

"...amazingly girl power Wi-Fi? Song, attract the others who are trapped, release."
