Who: Everyone
When: Day 5, bright and early in the morning
Where: Labyrinth!
What: A daring labyrinth

[you somehow land into this labyrinth with a hard thud, sending clouds of dust flying everywhere. what you're in now is a stone room that has a flickering torch placed on each wall. it smells a bit dingy in here, like what one might picture an actual labyrinth or dungeon to smell like.

there doesn't actually seem to be much worth investigating in this room, aside from a sign and three old, wooden doors before you. the sign reads:

"If you risk it all, you gain it all. If you risk nothing, you gain nothing."

somehow, very inexplicably so, you get the strange sense that the riskier you play, the better the prize.]

RULES

[royalsubject]

> Friday is the official "end date", by which I mean I'll toss a normal daze mingle up at that time. However, if you joined in late, need more time, or WHATEVER, I can gladly pull you through the weekend!

> Characters may or may not be injured! I can't promise one or the other, though it'll usually be obvious. However, if you're are 100000% not game for a particular injury that might follow an action, talk to me! Slack, mod plurk, comment to the rules header, WHATEVER! I can try to work something else out for you.

> Prizes are ranked on how ~daring~ characters are with the solutions/escapes/etc. The "better" they do, bravery-wise, the more likely they are to get something they ACTUALLY want. The "worse" they do, again, bravery-wise, the more likely they are to get something they DON'T want.

> Creativity is totally allowed! Yes, the obvious solution tends to be there, though it might be the most dangerous, and sometimes there are obvious hints that your character may or may not get, which won't be quite as dangerous, and sometimes there will be solutions that aren't immediately obvious but can be made available with some investigation, if that makes sense. It's up to how your character works! While it's encouraged to face danger for the better prize, your character might not be up for something and that's okay—it's not always the dangerous action that's considered the bravest, mind you.

> Your character will be exploring on their own! However, if you and another player do decide that you want your characters to explore together, feel free to, JUST NOTE IT IN YOUR EXPLORATION COMMENT! If you decide halfway that you and X belatedly want your characters to be working together, I can work my official Trapdoor Magic and put characters together. Again, just mention it somewhere! Otherwise, your character will be on their own in this labyrinth, though everyone will meet up at the end.

PRE-MINGLE

[royalsubject]

[gently placing a mingle here, since, you know, character probably may not see each other again until the post-mingle in case you want some quick chatter in a dusty room. this does take place in the very first room characters arrived in!]

[ eyeing up the three doors in thought, looking a bit unnerved by the water one.

you know, residual trauma sticks for a while ]

Re: PRE-MINGLE

[kingspade]

Doesn't look like this room is used all that often.

Re: PRE-MINGLE

[primetimehero]

Awright, here we go! See you guys at the finish line!

[ RUNNING TO DOORS ]

[loveinvein]

[ Mika JUST got here and already he's getting involved with labyrinths! Which suits him just fine, really. He has a wish he has to fulfill.

To anyone else here, he's clearly a new face. ]

[sintimental]

[ This is definitely a new face.

But being new doesn't stop you from wanting to explore the labyrinths, tbh. ]

WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[royalsubject]

[that's right: you have one of three doors to pick from:

> A left door with a symbolic flame etched onto it

> A middle door with a symbolic water drop etched onto it

> A right door with a symbolic flower etched onto it]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[ninetyninelives]

Eeny meeny miney moe, catch a tiger by the toe...

[LEFT]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[swordhandled]

[ ok, let's go through to the flower door ]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[kingspade]

[ let's adventure to the flower room! ]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[heroclub_5thtenet]

[Look, a tree is my god.

Which is to say, I'm going with the flower door]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[shrugsitoff]

[ me and some other swimmer are going through the water drop room ]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[primetimehero]

[ EVERYONE KNOWS THAT FIRE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS

LET'S FUCKING GO THROUGH FIRE ]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[glorious]

[...a difficult choice.]

[Lets attempt the flower door for the fun of it!]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[botamessiah]

[Togo picks the flower door and wheels through it. Fire is nope. Water is also nope, for obvious, non-working legs reasons. She also has her treasure-detecting pickaxe with her, just in caaaaase.]

Let's see...

[loveinvein]

[ Mikaela has just about enough of fire. The flowers seem too conveniently labeled too... so let's go through the water door! ]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[whopraysfor]

Fine. Fine.

[chooses the middle door]

Re: WHICH DOOR DO YOU CHOOSE?

[soulbridge]

[Risk it all to gain it all, huh? Well Rideaux does like reward, so let's see... no risk in a flower, but he still has zero interest in getting wet if he can avoid it. Which means fire room it is!]

POST-MINGLE

[royalsubject]

[at some point or another, you wind up in another dark, dusty room—one much like the beginning. at the back of this are many rows of treasure chests.

off to the side of the room is an actual exit leading up and out of this labyrinth to the town of Port Perplex.]

((Feel free to get some post-labyrinth chatter out in here, or just take it to the new mingle post. Whatever works best for you!))

TREASURE

[royalsubject]

[at the back of the final room, the one that brings everyone together, are many rows of treasure chests. you'll have an instinctive urge to open a particular one—and if you attempt to open one that isn't yours, it'll bite your hand. ow.]

ETA: your character doesn't HAVE to be done in order to comment and preemptively determine their treasure! in fact, if you answer early and want to come back and make adjustments, that's okay, too! i'm pretty chill about stuff like that.

1) Please comment with things that your character would either WANT or LIKE. or both. for instance, say Bob wants a new sword because his died, he can have a new sword, though it might have some interesting new factor to it. say you also know that if he got a hold of a record player and some weird records, he'd actually like that even though he's never touched one before!

2) If applicable, please also mention anything your character found and might be trying to keep from the labyrinth. They might have kept a weird object, or been given a thing, or they want to keep a baby.

3) IF ARE NOT PLAYING IN THE LABYRINTH, AND HAVE NO INTENTION TO AT ALL, BUT YOU WANT A PRIZE, please comment and I'll give you a prize anyway! I can't promise it'll be the thing your character wants (which you should also share!) but, you know, free things, hell yeah!

Re: TREASURE

[ninetyninelives]

Mao wants a new cloak, his other one got lava on it?? he likes magic things and fancy food

he's going to try to keep that creepy book and a REAL ACTUAL BABY

Re: TREASURE

[heroclub_5thtenet]

She kind of wants some exercise equipment. Some weights would be nice, since she couldn't bring any with her. As for likes... A pack of dried sardines! Think about the healthiness of them! I would also support just giving her something completely random, though.

She'll uh, also try to keep the fish rug, because someone gave it to her.

Re: TREASURE

[loveinvein]

Mika would appreciate money :U
