Hammett calls out to "Merlin", "If you don't like all the attention, maybe you should go and inhabit someone less famous?"

Now Kat was really confused. Edmund was obviously crazy and was in league with someone who was associated to purple, though what a colour had to do with all this she really wasn't sure. It didn't sound good though and Edmund had never been stable since she'd first met him and Eivor hitting him made all the more sense now. Hammett on the other hand was Flora's number two scourge and on her wanted list. For some reason in Kat's view, Lorelei even beat Hammett out on the 'people who annoyed Flora the most' chart. On the other hand Kat liked Lorelei and Lorelei trusted Hammett, enough to go to his party.
However now he was saying that the person calling himself Merlin was not actually Merlin and his motives for being here were unclear. For a minute Kat had her hopes up that Merlin was her father and he'd come to help her and make everything wonderful. A fanciful notion that was only likely in fairy tales of course. Was it possible that this was in fact Malficious had shifted as Merlin and was trying to now oust them all from the Maze whilst his army had her people on the run?
Kat decided to watch for a moment longer, but she readied herself to change her cloak to its mirrrored form in readiness in case something kicked off. Here next to the Mirror Maze she hoped its power would be enhanced.

#s://i~ibb~co/VVJgGZv/jurt~png "Hammett isn't here to destroy the Mirror Maze. The truth is that we are also trying to save it. What use is it otherwise? -" Edmund says. Kat begins to felt the mental pressure of a trump contact so she misses some of Ed's words. "- but if things go bad we may need to destroy the Maze in order to save it." "Like hell you will," not-Merlin snarls and draws his sword. Hammett sees a strange glow begin to emanate from the man. "We need this, so you and Hammett step aside and let her go first. That'll give you time to think on this plan of yours and if destruction is still your goal then you'll both be diced."

[[OCC: Is the "strange glow" similar to the "strange glow" we saw on top of the mountain during the fight with Lady Vada? The strange glow with two figures in it/or two figures who were both glowing?]]

Kat steps back into the entrance of the Maze to cover the way in as she answers the Trump. She keeps ready to reveal her mirrored cloak if she needs to, keeping her eyes on the others
Hello? Really busy at the mo. She answers.

He was there trying to decide to go in or not when first Edmund, then you and the general, then non-Merlin got here. So he is blocking anyone from getting into it right now, and also preventing anyone from stopping him from entering it, if that is what he decides to do.]]

Okay, time to get out of here before the fighting starts, and with Edmund in the mix, Hammett was pretty sure there would be fighting. He just hoped Kat and the General would be okay.
"Everybody just play nice, and don't do anything you'll regret. Like I'm probably about to do."
With that Hammett turns and enters the maze before anyone can stop him.

Damn. Kat thinks to herself as Hammett slips into the Maze. Too many things are going on all at once and even though she's clever she can only concerntrate on two at once. Hammett would just have to take his chances with the Mirror Maze. Either he'd be helping guard it for the rest of his life or he'd be making a pact with it.
The other threats though she had to concerntrate on, though the Trump call was not revealing any results. Whoever it was seemed incapable of getting through. She had two people that she couldn't trust. One who was posing as Merlin and could be the Demon Lord Malficious and another who was Eivor's crazy brother in league with some bunch of purple people or somesuch. She readied her cloak to defend the mirror.

[OOC to Hammett: this is a whole new strange glow. We're really collecting them these days. Might be time for a culling. Since others see a strange aura about Hammett, you might not approve of the cull.]

#s://i~ibb~co/VVJgGZv/jurt~png Edmund follows Hammett to the start of the maze and then turns to face the others. "He walks the Maze. Any who tries to stop him will die by my axe." he tells them. "Remember if you destroy the Maze or anything then your hobo friend here will die and I'll hunt you down anywhere in Shadow. You can't hide from me!" the man yells at Hammett. Kat, could you describe what the walk through the Mirror Maze is like? Thanks.

[OOC - Admin - Sent you a PM with the description from my background. The Mirror Maze is a dangerous place]
Kat makes sure that she is behind Edmund and that he doesn't get past her.
"No one else goes into the Mirror Maze. The Maze will judge Hammett and if he is found wanting then he will serve the Mirror Maze in other ways." She tells them. "Now Not Merlin reveal your true self, for I have suspicions of your true nature and those suspicions do not lead me to good conclusions."

#s://i~ibb~co/VVJgGZv/jurt~png "Hammett? Is that his name? Thanks for the info. What about mister lumberjack here?" the man replies not taking his eyes off Hammett entering the Maze. "Someone else will walk the thing once we see what happens to Hamm."

Hammett begins to traverse the outer region of the maze, steadily making his way toward the center and the entrance to the second section of it.
[[OOC: Assuming no real issues...]]
He makes good time in this simpler region, none of the guardian's Katrina had warned them about approached to close to him, or ever served to give him much notice at all, but he was certain that could change at any moment, and apparently on the whim of the Maze itself, if it really was sentient like, apparently, everyone else believed.
