week 5: slumber party?

[polterguests]

[ The maze is prone to its twists and turns, and today you find it doing much the same. Perhaps you're trying to head back to the Heart. Maybe you were finishing up at the Observatory, or paying your respects at the Goodbyekitty Temple...

Regardless of where you start, here's where you suddenly stand: in a long hallway, lit only by cool florescent lights overhead. Not all of them work, leaving parts of the hallway shrouded in darkness. Behind you, there's only endless hallway. Ahead of you, there is one single door—though this week, it seems to be decorated by string lights. Aw, that's nice. It almost... looks inviting? Well, step right on in.

When you enter, you're in an enormous pillow fort. It's the type of thing that sleepy, social teenagers would only dream of. If only they had the architectural knowledge of structural integrity to pull this thing off! Everything is plush, the area is illuminated by cute string lights, and it seems like there are already a few shadowy figures in the room waiting for you...

Won't you play their games?

Cards that explain the games are scattered throughout the area, bringing you up to speed. It seems like each slumber party participant has one they'd like to try.

2 Lies and a Truth

The classic game as you know it—but this time, it seems like there's misdirection all around. Guess the truth among the selection that the Game Host presents.

You must win 3 rounds before the shadows recede.

Would You Rather?

The Game Host will present a Would You Rather? scenario, however you must guess what the Game Host would rather choose between the two options.

The Game Host may be a bit deceiving when you engage in a debate with them to get a better idea of the scenario.

You must win 3 rounds before the shadows recede.

The Ranking Game

The Game Host will name one category where they've ranked three things/people/places/etc. in order of most to least suitable. However, they will give five options total.

Ex Category: Most Babygirl in All of Purgatory, Ex Options: Rafayel, Obikawa, Tokinaga, Tsukasa, Thorns

If you correctly place a name into a ranking (ex: Rafayel as No. 1 Babygirl), you win one round.

You must win 3 rounds before the shadows recede.

(OOC) House Rules

Only one person should play each round. (In essence, reply in one long thread and you can tap each other in and out but it'll be easier for the Game Host to answer sequentially instead of multi-threading.)

The Game Host may be merciful or cruel. (The Game Host can decide if they come up with new rounds for 2 Lies and a Truth/Would You Rather every time you get it wrong, or let you pity choose from remaining options.)

There is also a few packs of Uno around. You're welcome. You're also all walking in in PJs. Once again, you're welcome. ]

[aspirings]

[Okay, well!! Here we are again.

Tsukasa's been put in cute pajamas. He's unbothered by this.

He is instead just chilling in the pillow fort, holding a star-shaped pillow to his chest. This is fine, it's way less weird than the other ones they've been through.]

The best marriage proposal...

[Hm!!]

Maybe Lucien? He would undoubtedly be very princely about it.

[ordimame]

[remember the pajamas. they are back! and so is Lotte, tucked nice and warm in his arms]

Party games again. . .

[depressured]

Let's try to be quick about this. Injuries are probably likely.

upon seeing his name in the ranking game: ]

Well, I think I can be removed from the options.

[tenebrescent]

[He is in adorable fuzzy pink pajamas, as expected.

This would be kinda fun, but...]

Does anyone else find it kinda messed up that we have to play games to rescue injured people?

[The cowardly shadow invites you to play a game:]

Would you rather be a buff shrimp or a beautiful lobster?

[aspirings]

A beautiful lobster, of course!

[he does not perceive the death and destruction rn I guess.]

farewell...

[polterguests]

[ Outside, there is the sound of running water.

You may collect your tired companions from the half-dead states, but you'll find that once they last person exits the location, this new place will disappear entirely into the fog. You may try to retrace your steps, but you will be unable to find it again. Instead, you are only able to return to the Heart and the Maze itself until a new Maze will replace it tomorrow.

But if you wish to follow that sound of rushing waves... The Akheron still runs through the center of the Heart. Listening to it is calming, peaceful, and you may even feel drawn to its embrace. Don't you know that all water heals? Certainly it might come at a cost, but isn't that better than this pitiful existence? Dip your feet in. The water welcomes you.

you may use this as a tl for your river party if you would like so no one's inbox gets destroyed ]

river

[transmit]

[ let's all take ibuprofen together



for the people emerging from the river he has towels because he has just accepted that this is a thing that happens on a regular basis now. be free ]

[ilulu]

[She is just hanging out with Tokinaga's soul while his body gets healed I guess]

[handfast]

[ if you are at the river at any point after The Chaos there is a strong chance you will see hak just sitting here with soo-won's head like a fucking freak. please feel free to ignore him. ]

[recrowns]

[ ok well hak probably got to soo-won first but maybe you were distracted and didn't see. posting this under hak is super funny. anyway assumes this happens... after......

either way, he is going to eventually slosh his way out of the river to everyone else, trying to wring water out of his hair. asking anyone who's around, ]

Is Hien alright?

[ king (literal) you also just died (literal) ]

[paenitete]

[ SORRY TO RUIN VIBES but once fiammetta gets out she is immediately checking her shard, taking that towel with a murmured thanks, and heading back to purrfect penance unless she's stopped (unless you are her cyoa mates, i am tagging you both)... guoba guoba goobye ]
