[When the game starts you find yourselves on a platform. At least this part is pretty relaxing as it's large enough to fit a table with six (or seven) chairs around and that may be the place you want to sit at for now. There's several pieces of parchment laying on the table and a box in the center.

Of course, if you were careful you might want to pay attention to what's before you. Because immediately after the platform is a slide that ends in a pit of water? That turns into a dark forest. In what looks like a mile across is another large platform, presumably the end. Though that's all you can see right now.]

ROUND EIGHT

[soulping]

Slowly the light at the end of the tunnel starts to get bigger. Somehow it seems to shine impossibly brighter. It's warm and inviting and maybe just a little bit sad and knowing.
But as they step out into the field once more, there's a feeling of FULLFILLMENT and SELF-CONFIDENCE. Because you faced the things that scared you and shouldn't you feel stronger for it? You should.

This time the obstacle doesn't seem too bad either: It's a game. Almost like croquet. You just have to hit the balls through and around the obstacles.

That's nice, right? You can't go on without spending a little while completing it though. Amazing. UNFORTUNATELY for you you can't seem to find any holes or places it's supposed to go!

[.....I am unfamiliar with everything that is happening right now.]

[Except self confidence.]

Where is it...

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

Where is it? Do you know what to do here?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

There has to be someplace for the ball to go.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

Maybe it'll appear if we move it around?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[....well, if we need a hole.]

[Grabbing the rope.]

[And plopping it in a circle on the ground.]

[hungryman]

[Grabs a mallet and hits a ball into the rope 'hole']

Re: DISCUSSION

[Grabs a mallet and hits a ball.]

[....way too hard, sends it flying, but really doesn't care.]

[... I'm just gonna putt putt mine into the hole]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Likely we have to solve a puzzle.

[What is I destroyed the game pieces too?]

[SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

Yeah, but it's weird.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Is it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

[gestures at balls]

It has to go somewhere.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

....

The balls have to be moved to a specified location? That's what this set up is for?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

A game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

Were we not already playing a game?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

Then it's another game.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

And is this supposed to have another prize?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

How would I know?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

You recognized what they were for.

They made a 'goal' by making a circle of rope on the ground. They hit the balls around until Arim inevitably loses all the balls by hitting them too hard.
