[ You find yourself in a section of the maze walled off by hedges sporting glowing pink flowers. Several tree stumps with rich velvet cushions on them surround a much larger stump, upon which lie a number of cards... ]

ROUND FOUR

[soulping]

[ There are now fifteen cards upon the table--the same as before, minus the last one you chose. You get the feeling you'll need to proceed just as you did in the last round. ]

CHOICE

[soulping]

[ Who picks, and which card? ]

Re: CHOICE

[secretbooty]

[Ivy, and Wheel of Fortune.]

Re: CHOICE

[soulping]

[ Control slips away from your already-twisted body as you pick up the card. In an instant, you feel yourself tugged painfully this way and that, your limbs jerked helplessly around. Dizziness and nausea set in as you trip and stumble under the command of some vast unknown force. Just to make matters worse, the world around you sways and spins wildly all the while. ]

Re: CHOICE

[secretbooty]

[... UGHHHHH. Making a point to just sit down, breathing hard even as her body jerks around and the dizziness and nausea are horrible and FUCK YOU ECHO]

RESULTS

[soulping]

[ How long do you tolerate the effect of the card, up to a maximum of thirty minutes? ]

Re: RESULTS

[secretbooty]

[all 30 minutes yo

OUT OF TOTAL SPITE AND ANGER]

Re: RESULTS

[soulping]

[ After thirty minutes, the card dissolves into ash, and what fun! With some more awful little clinking noises, your bodies start to mend themselves about halfway, and the shape on the table empties out of about half its little coins, down to being a tenth full! ...once again, for all of two or three seconds, until the shape fills back up to twenty percent. Your posture slumps and tilts, and your ribcage frantically rearranges itself, as the vertebrae of your spine begin to fuse into coins. ]
