ALECTRYON

[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.']

So...we just have to roll the dice. That's easy.

[Hi Holly.]

Oh.

Not bad.

OBSTACLE: RIVER RAPIDS

[fangirlitis]

[19 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?]

> Try to rush through using the rapids as leverage

Not quite what we'd hoped...well, let's keep doing our best!

[rolling again! got a 6]

Re: ROUND 2

[purrtylittlewires]

[Welp]

I guess hot blooded isn't the way to go.

[Your luck, man.]

[appleofhiseye]

[laughs a little]

Perhaps high rolls will make up for our poor decision making skills.

OBSTACLE: CLOTHING EATING CYBER-PIRHANAS

[fangirlitis]

[16 spaces remain]

[There are several other people trying to cross the river around you as you move on. While you push through them, you notice an ominous burbling from the water. Suddenly, one of the NPCs is screaming, covering themselves, and running for the shore. It seems you've waded into a swarm of clothing eating cyber-piranhas! Showing up for your hot date without a pair of pants would probably go over badly--what do you do?]

> Question the validity of this creature's existence
> Embrace your new nudist nature
> Try to fight them off with a convenient stick
> Run away
> Break into a killer guitar solo
