Who: You all!
When: Day 2, just after dawn
Where: Outside the town
What: An experimental labyrinth is open...

[The horn sounds again (so soon) and those that choose to follow the sound find themselves standing before...a door? Or a wireframe of a door to be more precise, though only those who have some vague knowledge of the concept of 3D modeling would recognize that that's what it is. Everyone else is simply left to wonder why there seems to be a door comprised only of lines.]

[Will you step through?]

↳ Instructions

[royalsubject]

As this is a more of an experiment in terms of OOC mechanics than anything else, this labyrinth should be ICly straightforward and simple!

Your character's goal will be to enter rooms and complete a small task (or not…!) before choosing between two paths to move onto next room. At the third room, your character will find a treasure highlighted in gold to grab, before completing one last small task to leave the labyrinth. Remember that your characters cannot backtrack, so if they choose a path they are ICly committed to it.

However, if you OOCly wish to 'cheat' by looking ahead and planning your next move that way or by going back and changing a response, then know that cheating is 100% okay! You are participating in an experiment today, so it's okay if you cheat for the purposes of science...or the purposes of sending your character one way or another. We're all understanding RPers here. ♥

Items and tasks of importance will be highlighted in red; just to make it easier OOCly to know what you can do. There isn't as much interactivity this time to keep things from being overwhelming to players OOC, but if this formula works out well then I'm sure we can expand on interactivity in the future. ♥

When you're ready to begin, your character will start their dungeon explore here.

[ooc: Question.

This labyrinth is... not very handicapped accessible. I do want to participate and I understand WHY but. Some things that happen after the first two doors could result in the destruction of Togo's wheelchair. She kind of needs that to move. At all. Will replacements be provided?]

Re: ↳ Instructions

[glorious]

[THAT IS A FAILING ON MY PART but yes, replacement wheelchairs are available so for any room that requires it, you can assume that the labyrinth was considerate enough to accommodate by having a replacement on hand. '^'b]

Eventually, you all find yourselves all back in town and each of you are perfectly fine! ...Though a few may be more 'fine' than others...

I made it...!!

[botamessiah]

Good job.

[Togo nods and smiles as she wheels over. She's a bit worse for the wear, but okay mostly!]

You're a new face.

A new, traumatized face.

Re: ↳ Post-Explore Mingle

[botamessiah]

[Togo sighed, coming out looking dirty, arms and legs smeared lightly with blood.]

I survived...

Re: ↳ Post-Explore Mingle

[ninetyninelives]

That was different.

[Still smelling of saltwater and wearing clingy wet clothes, but not... unhappy... ? Pretty happy, actually.]

That was a lot closer.

[Scratched and scraped and battered and bruised, this is the face of a man who did not have fun.]

[someone is nursing bruised and cut hands with broken nails... and bruised and cut everything else. Also form his breathing and repeating something under his breath, he's coming down from an emotional state]

[heroclub_5thtenet]

[And this one seems to be arriving in different clothes then she left in, and seems to be carrying a glowing plant with her.]

Well, that could've gone worse.

[Salty, watery, exhausted and elated; the first building he comes to is one he leans against, eventually sliding down to sit on the ground. Anyone near enough might hear him chuckling to himself.]

[Still determining, but probably the fish! Just the fish. Although he might still have the magic talking paper, which he's never interacted with; if he does, it's been through a lot and is probably very distressed (at least as a physical object).]

Re: ↳ Treasure

[botamessiah]

[Submitted for approval: three gems (one ruby, one sapphire, one emerald) and a pickaxe. Thanks for the loan, brah.]

[soulbridge]

[The three gemstones—emerald, ruby and sapphire, is the prize a pokemon?—and... nothing else!]

Re: ↳ Treasure

[heroclub_5thtenet]

[Welding goggles, shimmering plant, and maybe one or two flame-resistant seeds (most of them have been planted, though.)

Re: ↳ Treasure

[whopraysfor]

[a hardhat and a gemstone (a sapphire if he could get that one)]

Re: ↳ Treasure
