daisy
[Daisy struggles against the shadow's influence, but eventually it comes to a standstill. Abruptly, the shadow laughs, a howling evil cackle, and turns tail to run right into one of the mirrors. A cloud of darkness surrounds the mirror, and you can hear echoes of the shadow's laughter. An aura of power surges from it, and you can imagine a battle going on inside. If the shadow isn't subdued quickly enough, it may destroy Daisy completely.
If you decide to jump through the mirror, you will find yourself somewhere else...]

RULES
In each room, there will be a puzzle that must be solved before the Eluvian will activate and the way will be clear. You can solve the puzzles in any number of ways. However, the longer you take to solve them, the stronger the shadow will become. You can choose quicker/easier methods to solve the puzzles in order to reach the shadow sooner. Be warned, though: you also need to gather power to defeat it, and you can only gain power boosts through careful, deliberate problem-solving.
You have essentially three ways to solve each puzzle:
(1) Work at your own pace. This will take some time, but you will gain an equivalent amount of strength and fortitude necessary to defeat the shadow. The actual amounts will vary, depending on how you decide to go about it.
(2) Call out to the shadow. Its retorts will make it easier to find. This will take very little time, but you won't gain any power boosts.
(3) Ask the mysterious voice for help. They will lend you their power in order to bypass the room. This will take more time, but you will gain a considerable amount of boosts.
Each decision you make will be GRADED, and you will receive a time allotted amount and a power boost number. Note that it will be much more difficult to defeat the shadow if you aren't powerful enough or if you take too long to reach it.
As a reminder, the IRC channel is #abicyclebuiltfortwo. I am on as Merrill, ping me if you have any questions.
Good luck!
THE LIBRARY
In the middle of the room is a low table with an impressively large tome lying open on it. The pages are moving swiftly of their own accord, and don't seem to be reaching the end of the book anytime soon. There's a quill nearby, but no ink. A few candelabras sit next to it, the flames giving an eerie flicker to the scene.
A hushed voice whispers in your mind; at first you can barely understand it. It's a rush of words in a language you're not entirely familiar with, but the more it speaks, the more you begin to understand:
You understand the intent of the whispered words: you don't have much time. What will you do?]

Re: THE LIBRARY
[Putting weird voices aside... that magic book looks interesting, but he can't really check it out when the pages are flipping like that. What if he just smacks a palm down on it to try and get them to stop turning?]

THE FOREST
The scene before you is quite lovely, however. There are thirteen flowerbeds, each one labeled with the name of a team, and the colors of the flowers match. Purple violets for Takshaka, beige hydrangea for Ratatoskr, blue cowslips for Amalthea, and so on. It's all very colorful. However, there's definitely something off about them.
Also, there's a cat.]
Re: THE FOREST
Hello, sir cat. Can you speak to me? Can you give me any direction?

THE FADE
Because one of the first things you'll notice is that you're not alone anymore. All your other companions are here, some of them hovering in midair as well, or upside down, or sideways. Gravity doesn't seem to be a big deal anymore.
The second thing you'll notice is that there are two people sitting silently in the middle of the rock, back to back. They are completely shrouded in darkness.
You may catch up with what everyone else has been doing, exchange information and items, or investigate the figures.]

[he sure is floating over here! wow. Marigold has a spellbook and a knife, as well as dirt on his clothes (ew) and a big cut on the back of one hand (ewww).]

SUDDENLY...
It's Daisy. She stumbles up with a cry of relief, tears streaming down her face, and she looks like she's about to say something to you... when the other figure shatters, as well.
The second figure rises violently, shards of obsidian striking out at you, and howls with rage. It looks like Daisy--only this time, you can really tell the difference. Her sclera is still black, with bright yellow pupils, and her hands and feet have warped into something inhuman, something monstrous. Instead of fingers and toes, she has long, animalistic claws, and dark purple veins running up her arms and legs. She grins at all of you, an angry, bloodthirsty grin, and you can see fangs protruding from her maw.
The shadow surges with power, and grabs Daisy as though she were a ragdoll, lifting her into the air by her neck.]
(( do not reply yet, more comments forthcoming ))
Re: SUDDENLY...
[Daisy struggles in the shadow's grip, and then cries out as the shadow begins to absorb energy from her. She goes pale, and the shadow actually starts to grow physically larger, its claws and fangs even larger, its gaze even more monstrous.
This is it: the moment of truth. Use the items and abilities you have gathered thus far to fight. You have to stop the shadow before it's too late!]
