The maze [Chaos Run Amuck] [D3MM, Courts District Streets] (Open?)

Light slowly taking up the streets. A brisk melody of heels beating the pavement. A figure in green cutting through the fog. Dare was going to work, walking with the steadiness of habit regardless of the low visibility.

Her destination, the actual Courts, was almost in sight. Just one more turn, after the Very Final Version, the quite mediocre tavern where colleagues sometimes took a drink after work by virtue of it being close by. Here she wa...

Oh. That wall wasn't there before. Either the Dabu had been busy with construction work last night. Or...

She brought her monocle out of her purse. Examined the "wall" more closely. Tch. Not even a proper magical construct, nothing more of a simple illusion. Even though...

Two steps back. Looking around. There. And also there. And there too. Everywhere really. And likely in other streets. Likely not an exaggeration to say the whole district had been remapped with illusions, passages disguised into walls and walls changed into trompe l'oeil of passages.

Great. The Bureau of Maps ("The maps must match the streets and the streets must match the maps!") was going to turn fully crazy over this, and make everyone else in the office wish they were deaf.

Unless she managed to clean this mess before they had to get involved? Let's see, if she could maintain an average of one illusion dispelled every five minutes for the next couple of hours... Hmm, yes, unlikely to be fully done in time, but possibly enough good will to tame them a bit.

She rolled up her sleeves, put on her gloves, and started meticulously breaking down each illusion, one by one, street after street. With the alertness there might be other surprises she should be wary off, unaware of who or what she was going to encounter next in that maze different from the usual maze of Sigil.
