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, Vanara's, and Alectryon'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?

We have two options, then. We may either leave Vanara's toy out in the cold, or let them be together and leave out our own.

The cold never bothered me anyways.

Re: DISCUSS

[unguilded]

It's ... bearable, at least!

Maybe we can wrap them both up and then put our doll next to them on the outside, so we're still at least close to something warm.

[holy shit it's cold]

What ... What's all this white stuff?

Re: DISCUSS

[goodbyenurse]

It is known as snow. It is water which is frozen in the atmosphere which then falls to earth.

Re: DISCUSS

[unguilded]

It's snow! It falls when it gets really cold. It's ... pretty though, despite that, isn't it?

Re: DISCUSS

[unguilded]

[ Rubbing his arms. ] After all of this weather change, too.

Well, it's easy enough to assume we'll include Alectryon over Vanara! But do we want to keep ourselves warm, or give it up ... I wonder if scoring will be based on how much we protect ourselves or something like how generous we are...

Whoa -!!

[ On a scale from Vash to Sirocco how well do you deal with discovering snow for the first time.

That's how ]

[The door sparkles invitingly. You're free to move on!]

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?

[Nothing happens! It looks like you're free to move on—there's a door up ahead.]

THE CLASSROOM

[soulping]

[This time you find yourself stepping into a classroom! It's very bland, very typical … there are lots of textbooks, ranging from "Boringness 101" or "Lamestacular Lecture 5000" to "HECK YEAH GIANT LIZARDS" or "Tip Top Makeup Tips!" There's also a whiteboard and pen at the front of the class.]

[Isabel speaks up:]

School is ssssoooo boring, right? Let's spice things up by spreading some rumors about the other teams!

So, like, all you've gotta do is write down the rumors you wanna spread and who they're about, and good ol' Isabel will take care of the rest! You can spread up to three, and I guess if you wanna be super whoa they could all be about the same team …

VANARA: Vanara's patron is going to make them all star in a monster movie.

RATATOSKR: Zelos has had numerous trysts with various people in Kyriakos, all within the secrecy of another team's dorm! And has even had some with that very team.

... RATATOSKR AGAIN: Ventus is secretly seeing Leo from Amalthea.

RESULTS

[soulping]

[There's a PUFF of glittering smoke, and suddenly you find that you've been … turned into a talking version of your team animal?? There are words floating over your head:

Amalthea smells like caterpillars.
Leo and Ventus make out when no one is looking!

After you've had a moment to gawk, a door at the other side of the room springs open. Engame awaits.]
