THE SNOW PLAINS

[soulping]

[The first thing you notice is snow. It's everywhere, and boy, is it ever cold. There's a five inch deep layer covering the ground, and it's still falling in huge, tennis ball-sized clumps.]

[In the distance, you can just make out a door; it sparkles pretty, winking like a gemstone catching the light. On the ground halfway between you and said door, half buried in the snow, are three large, shivering, super sad plush toys … of three team animals?? Yours, Takshaka's, and Epona's. By your feet is a warm, snuggly blanket.]

[Isabel's voice echoes from above:] Your first task is BLANKETFIC! Tee hee. But your blanket can only fit around two of the toys—one of them is going to have to be left out in the cold. What do you do?

[HOLY SHIT IT'S COLD]

[Wrapping his arms around himself and shivering DX]

Yeesh, I thought it was autumn, not winter.

It seems as though we've gone through three seasons today already.

...Huh...

Can't we just like. Make the area warmer so no one has to suffer? [COLD WEATHER I feel all invigorated.]

Re: DISCUSS

[carptricks]

Somehow I get the feeling that'd be going outside of the game rules and thus wouldn't work.

But anything's worth a try.

[rubbing his arms, trying to stay warm]

Re: DISCUSS

[velveteened]

That's a good idea.

[IS ANYONE IN UNIFORM]

Supposing someone spared a cloak or coat or something for the third....?

[Tiamat wraps the blanket around Takshaka and Epona!]

[And then they wrap the Tiamat doll with Aoko's coat because Kaito's cloak is bigger and better for sharing]

[You're starting to feel a little chilly … and the only way to warm yourselves up is through chaste physical affection!]

[Well, Kaito and Aoko are already sharing a cloak, so. . .]

I kind of like it.

THE GLITTERING CAVE

[soulping]

[You step through the sparkling door, and find yourself in an equally sparkling cavern. It's warm in here, though not so warm that it dispels the chill you may still be feeling from the snow plains. In a circle of torch like are twelve team colored treasure chests: only yours is open, and it contains 11 beautiful crystals.

But you may be paying more attention to the bigass hot pink dragon lounging on an outcropping high above. It's hard to tell in the faint, flickering light, but there's something weird about its scales … is that … is that gummy candy?

Isabel's voice once again echoes from above:]

You made it! Whoo, whoo! Now it's time for Isabel's Dragon Challenge. It's, like, super easy, don't worry! Every team starts this round with eleven gemstones, see? What you've gotta do is steal one or two from the other teams. Just tap the teams' chest and say how many you're gonna steal—you can steal once from two different teams, twice from the same team, just plain ol' once, or not at all!

The three teams with the lowest score are dragon chow, bwahahaha! Seriously though don't worry they'll be, like, just fine, you know.

… and, uh, if you all end with eleven, that counts as everybody losing, 'kay?

[DRAGONS AND TREASURE AND SHIT]

Even if she says all that, is it really alright to steal?

...I wouldn't mind having to eat my way out of a gummy dragon...

Comment here with what you're stealing and from whom you're stealing it!]

[This is us. Not stealing anything.]

RESULTS

[soulping]

[The hot pink gummy dragon—which is the approximate size of an elephant—SWOOPS MAJESTICALLY DOWN from its perch and gobbles all of you up, swallowing you whole! Don't worry, it doesn't hurt. You just slide down its delicious candy gullet and find yourself back in endgame.]
