VANARA

[soulping]

[You're wading in a low river, trying to advance as fast as you can--is the apparent setup, anyways. There's a table in the center of the room with a die to roll--and as you do so the world moves around you like some kind of VR deal. Everything looks, smells, and even sounds real… but it can't actually hurt you.]

[A monitor is lit up on the table. It reads: '24 spaces remain.']

[ Smoothing out her yukata despite the water and actually...smiling, just a tiny bit. She looks pleased for some reason. ]

[... That's cute. It's cute seeing her actually having fun.]

Do you want to roll the die?

ROLL - 5

OBSTACLE: AN INEXPLICABLE WATERFALL THAT FLIES IN THE FACE OF PHYSICS

[fangirlitis]

[19 spaces remain]

[You're going across the river, but the current is suddenly pulling you towards a sharp cliff that's appeared right in front of you. You can't see the river past it, but you hear the familiar rushing of water, the crashing of it against the rocks below. Somehow, you're about to go down a waterfall. It seems like even the laws of physics are against you since this is clearly impossible, but--what do you do?]

> Question the validity of this waterfall's existence
> Ride down it in a barrel
> Grab the rocks near the cliff and try to find a safe way down
> Run away
> Break into a killer guitar solo

[ From that wild ride, he can't help but laugh a bit. ]

It seems like the ridiculous paid off there.

Re: ROUND 2

I suppose so...

OBSTACLE: A GROUP OF SINGING CYBER FROGS SO AMAZINGLY COOL YOU HAVE TO STOP AND WATCH

[fangirlitis]

[12 spaces remain]

[On a rocky outcropping in the river is a number of cybernetically enhanced frogs in tuxedos. Three have microphones, and the others have a small band put together. As they see you approach, the three fronttoads start snapping. The band kicks up a tune, and the most amazing three part harmony you've ever heard fills the air. It's positively mesmerizing--what do you do?]

> Stop and watch
> Plug your ears
> Try to fight them off with a convenient stick
> Run away
> Break into a killer guitar solo

ROUND 3

Re: ROUND 3

[wittlich]

We're not using the guitar solo again.

[ ow???? her knees?? ]

Re: ROUND 3

[unlimitedcoffee]

Fine by me.

[ At least it isn't a trauma game kneecapping... ]

Re: ROUND 3

[overfull]

Unless it seems like a particularly useful idea...

Re: ROUND 3

[unlimitedcoffee]

Looks like that wasn't the best choice for that round.

[ Or even a decent choice. ]

Maybe breaking out into a sweet guitar solo isn't always the right answer.

Re: ROUND 3

[overfull]

Maybe not...

Would you like to roll the die this time?

ROLL - 4

OBSTACLE: RIVER RAPIDS

[fangirlitis]

[9 spaces remain]

[What's a river without rapids? The water rushes faster in this part of the river, beating against rocks and swirling in a chaotic pattern of white rapids and swift currents. It ends a short distance ahead, but getting through it unscathed might be hard. Since you left your white water gear at home--what do you do?]

> Slow down and proceed carefully
> Try to rush through using the rapids as leverage
> Don't change your pace at all
> Run away
> Break into a killer guitar solo

ROUND 4

Seems like there isn't much left for us.

Re: ROUND 4

Mmm...we just need to roll acceptable numbers for the next two turns. Knock on wood.
