Ask Museums Are Wormholes

[Ruzaan Kai]

Well, Lem was eventually fished out, and the Pyke either didn't notice or didn't care that Ruzaan was a Force-user. Throw in an exit from The Hedge Maze, and the Togruta was feeling much better about himself than he had several minutes ago. Even the Pyke's outburst at the all-too-cheery Herglic wasn't enough to dent Ruzaan's mood, and he mouthed the word "sorry" over the man's shoulder at the front desk agent.

"Find?" came a voice from behind them; older and shaky, as far as Ruzaan could tell. A kindly woman with a shawl wrapped tightly around her shoulders stepped forward. "Can you find my son? Please, I think he wandered in by himself!"

Ruzaan swung his head back to the Herglic, who shrugged. "It's possible, lady. I was away for a few minutes."

"Help me!" begged the woman, moved to tears- perhaps she had seen one of the screens overhead where a flamethrower had nearly burned a couple's honeymoon. "You're my only hope!"

Ruzaan turned to the others, resigning himself to his duty as a Jedi but unsure how much support he'd have in returning to the dreaded maze. "Well, what do you think?"

At the desk made for giants.
Maybe built by Herglic clients?
A Lemon’s on tiptoes yet again.
But she just can’t see overhead!

Meanwhile, Pyke’s on the right.
Threatens the Herglic with his life.
Try he might, he can’t escape the guy.
Not so much the Herglic—maze, more like.

The uncanny and certainly unlikely trio turn to.
Many a face in this place, in this very strange maze.
A Herglic’s, a woman’s, girl’s, boy’s, Pyke’s violet gaze.
Leh’Min’Ayd sympathizes with the child’s plight and the rue.
She remembers a face, an orphan’s grace—Nan was her name.

“We will help you!”
Leh’Min agreed with young man Ruzaan.
“We’ll do whatever we can!”

Two Twi’lek Jedi were of one mind.
Hummm but what about the Pyke?

“Hey helmet guy!”
Hand pat—not shy.
“One more time?”
Not friends, all right.
Still—reasons why.
Both Jedi and Pykes can fly!
“Find the kid and ya get a ride!”

The Herglic’s eyes were so wide open that they looked like they were about to pop right out of their sockets. The whale man looked at something behind the Pyke before looking back.

“I’m sorry about your… experience. Would you like a refund?” Tysjor extended a hand, and there was the money. At least he’d gotten that back, but what were a few credits compared to his sanity?

He turned around and put them in his pocket, ready to leave this horrid maze. But he saw the two kids looking at him again, and this time he couldn’t hold in the exasperated sigh when the girl patted his hand. He was done with this. The missing boy could find his way out himself. Hippo Mando was still here— couldn’t he take the speeder in again?

Tysjor glared down at the Togruta. “I don’t care what you’d pay me, I’m not going in there a second time. But I won’t stop you if you want to get lost again.”

[Ruzaan Kai]

Ruzaan grimaced inwardly, preparing to reenter the Hedge maze of doom. This was, without a doubt, the worst vacation he'd been on. Well, maybe except for that time when he'd met a Sith and had gotten stuck on Kabal right before it was invaded... maybe he just had terrible luck when it came to these things.

Ruzaan turned to the Pyke, unwilling to condemn the man for not wanting to return to the maze. "Good luck in your endeavors" he said, with a polite nod. Then, he turned to the cheeky Togruta to his right. "Ready for round 2?" he asked Lem.

A Herglic is a kind one.
Offers them a refund.
Nope. Can’t be undone.
Still…day and night won!
We win again, kids!
Thinks a Leh’Min!
But with a fist!
A fist can kiss!
She swings it!
Not at her!
Not at him!
There at thin air!
Her energy burns!
In a little Lemon!
Pyke has no urge!
TO GO—GO AGAIN!
No, next time 'n' turn!

“Then may we meet again, mah friend!”
Waves good bye, arm high, our Lemon!
Off goes the Pyke.
Still the other guy!

“Ready for round 2, my dude!”
A hand falls upon his shoulder.
They’re Jedi—like two soldiers!
“Let’s go rescue that kid then!”
They were kids too and friends!

The gate opens just then.
As before, again they went.
Between bush, step by step.
Against threat…Bush Jade…
Time’s spent but not on pain.
Jedi had their eyes on little guy.
That boy who was lost in a maze.
So...well...for someone like Leh’Min…
It didn’t matter if it was night or day!
From cave she came—Leh’Min’Ayd!
Rage—Rage against the dying light!
Day or night, Padawan is Jedi-bright!

Lessons were learned!
Lemons…night and day…
When life gives you lemons
Let them sing in the rain!
So ends the night.
So ends the day.
So ends this play!
There in a maze!
