EASTER 2015: EEE EGG EXTRACTION CYOA!

[zippedsiren]

Wisp didn't find the fish too disgusting to eat, but was oddly pleased with the idea that she helped to release it's totrtured soul. The egg was just a bonus.

When it was time to move on, the mare was looked in the directions offered to her and decided to follow her instincts... though some of that may have been effected by the aftertaste of fish she now had in her mouth. She moved to go in the direction that was closest, opting to go E) RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT .

Eggs: 1

I am dumb, Rolled a 3 here  

[zippedsiren]

I am dumb in the morning.  

[Aric Val]

E. Right, left, right
Eggs: 4

Well that was.. annoying. The bear cub was stuffed with this abomination for nothing. Grumbling and trying to get the nightmare off her tastebuds.

And then suddenly--a maze! The cub would have been more excited about it if it wasn't for the previous experience of the food. Dazed and a little confused on what was happening, the little bear was headed to the right.  

[EchoLimaFoxtrot]

C. Left Left Right
Egg Count: 3

Spear Mint kept smacking his chops, trying to get the nasty taste out of his mouth. He ate that whole pineapple-looking liver dish for nothing except a bad taste. His stomach grumbled angrily, even after the antacids. Blindly, he went to the next room and just followed some feet going left, left, and right.  

[Maxx D]

Choice D
After the oddness of the hi-hat, the acceptable snack plus a bunch of eggs plus sneaked plushies rendered Fireflight unable to take any other routes besides right. Right, right, right. He was currently not an ambi-turner.

Eggs: 5  

[theCorniest]

Neg and Haute tactfully spent the entirety of the food challenge room cleaning the molasses out of the older phony's mane - with their mouths. A little unsanitary, maybe, but probably way tastier than anything on the table. After that, they settled the giant sweets they'd nabbed from the previous room into Neg's saddlebags and prepared to face the next challenge, for real.

As they were ushered into the labyrinth, Neg paused to think, and turned to advise his son - who had already set off according to his own wild whims. Haute turned right, right, and left (F) - and what did he find?  

[Jun D]

C. Left, left, right

Diamond was not feeling well. At all. Rather reeling, she staggered into the labyrinth, and lurched automatically towards the left. And again. And - wait, did she already turn left twice? Right, then.

Eggs: 2  

[NymiiNym]

Option E

( On phone! Sorry if there's a typo! )

Yushika wasn't sure why the milk was so difficult, but it was. She didn't succeed in finishing it, and she also did win an egg. By the time they moved onto the maze she was a bit frustrated. Mazes had never been her forte!

Eggs: 3  

[Blue Eyed Melloon]

Eggs: 2

D. Right, right, right


After eating his meal, the pegasus had a nasty stomachache, but held his vomit in his throat. He would not be the one to throw up out of all the contestants. It nabbed him an egg anyway, and that was good!

The next round took place in a maze, something he was only familiar with in books. He had read that if you keep going right, you'll reach the center faster. So he started going right, taking the same direction at every turn.  

[Araucana]

Emmy was disheveled, dizzy and only just barely regaining her bearings as she found herself launched into a maze. What on Earth (was she even on Earth anymore??) had she taken and landed herself in, aside from now, a labyrinth?

Bumping into walls all her way, Emmy ends up going left, then right and then again left. (B)  

[Araucana]

In her disorientation she also forgets to roll!  

[Scaramouche Fandango]

Choice Six Results!

If you chose A...

You read once that if you keep your hand on the left side of a maze, it’ll lead you to the exit because if it’s a closed maze and all the walls connect, you’ll get out eventually by sticking to a wall. That’s absolutely true with this maze and you are spit out into the exit of the maze. Jump Scare stares at you, blinking confusedly- you’ve caught him in the middle of changing into some sort of ladies’ outfit with exaggeratedly large fake bosoms. A single false eyelash falls to the floor. “So… you’re done early…” he says. The look on his face makes you very happy he’s contractually obligated to keep you alive. You get no eggs for ruining the surprise.

If you chose B...

As you wind your way further and further into the labyrinth, you catch a distinct whiff of… cheese? Is that cheese? Something runs over your feet, then another something. It’s rats! In little ties and glasses! One rat trips over you and glares. “What’s the matter with you?” he squeaks indignantly. “Don’t you know? You have to run!” He scurries away as more rats follow him. Eventually you get swept up in all the commotion, and not finding a way out, you scurry along as well. Some rats pull ahead, while others lag behind, but nobody really gets too far ahead and it all seems very repetitive. You begin to get annoyed. Eventually, one rat pulls you over. “Hello, buddy, what’s happening?” the rat says. Before you can speak, he continues. “Uh, we have sort of a problem here? Yeah, you apparently didn’t put one of the new coversheets on one of your TPS reports.” You try to explain that you don’t work here, but the rat doesn’t really pay attention to you. “Mmm, yeah, you see we’re putting the cover sheets on all TPS reports before they go out. Did you see the memo about this?” Irritated, you try to explain that you couldn’t have seen the memo because you don’t work here, but he continues on in that slow, condescending voice. “Yeah, if you could just make sure you do that from now on, that would be great. And, uh, I’ll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo. OK?” You continue to get more and more annoyed, but despite all your rage he is still just a rat in a maze and he continues on to bother the next rat. Eventually, you manage to find a way out. You get no eggs, but you do learn a valuable lesson about how nobody really escapes the rat race.

If you chose C...

You travel along the labyrinth’s undulating paths. A thick smell of smoke hangs in the air, along with the stench of blood and the acrid tang of fear and sweat. As you come into a larger open space, a cluster of Athenian youths huddles in a corner, their eyes wide. One of them whimpers as he clutches a ball of string. You begin to be very afraid as you recall your Greek mythology- per the myths, Athens had to send Crete youths every year (or was it every seven years?) as tribute, which were then sacrificed to the minotaur that lived in the center of the labyrinth designed by Daedalus. The practice was stopped when Theseus, the son of the king of Athens, volunteered as tribute and fell in love with Ariadne, princess of Crete. She helped him by giving him an enchanted ball of string to help him navigate his way back out of the maze, but clearly this time it didn’t work. You only have a moment to marvel at this extremely specific mythological knowledge before you come to what seems to be the center of the labyrinth. A minotaur sits at a desk, idly filling in a crossword puzzle. He opens his mouth, presumably to roar before biting your head off, but all that comes out is “Do you know a three-letter synonym for eggs?”

That… that wasn’t what you expected. “A-aren’t you the minotaur that lives at the center of the labyrinth and eats people?” you stammer out. The minotaur shakes his head. “Nah. Temp agency,” he snorts. He taps his pen on the desk. “Do you know this word?” You think for a moment. Three letters, means eggs… “Ova?” you say. The minotaur grins. “Oh, ja! That fits!” he shouts, filling it in. You try to sneak away, but he yells at you to stop before rifling through the desk drawer. He hands you an Easter egg and pats you on the head before sending you on your befuddled way.

If you chose D...

As you traverse the winding path, chatter draws you into a large chamber. This room has opened up to a large chamber absolutely jam packed with goblins. A tall man sits in a chair; his extremely tight pants and extremely large hair reveal him as the goblin king (it’s well known that in any labyrinth infested with goblins, the one with the tightest pants and largest hair gets to be king). He doesn’t look much like a goblin, though; more like some sort of fae who came in and took over the goblin kingdom. He reminds you of a babe- surely this good-looking man will share some Easter eggs with you, right? It even looks like he’s got some on his lap there! But as you approach the throne, you realize almost too late that that’s not an Easter egg. You try to search for more eggs, but the goblin king has spotted you and is now singing a song about magic and dancing in your direction, so you decide to cut your losses and party hardy with these funky goblins. After a while, one of them hands you a bag of party favors. Inside is an Easter egg! Everybody who chose D gets one egg.

If you chose E...

You follow the labyrinth’s twists and turns until you find yourself in a hall lined with corn. Popcorn, canned corn, corn on the cob, candy corn, corn syrup- any kind of corn you can imagine, it’s probably there. There’s even some cornucopias and corndogs. It seems that the maze has turned into maize. Heh. Maize maze. That’s pretty corny. The corn maze eventually spits you out, but you didn’t find any eggs. That’s not a corn product, after all.

If you chose F...

You wander down the maze’s paths, trying to pick what you think is the most likely way to go. This is harder than it sounds- odd sounds from all over bombard you, and you’re not sure which way to go. Eventually, the maze walls turn to... hedges? Everything seems a bit more topsy turvy than it was before. A white rabbit darts out in front of you, and you assume you're about to be thrown into another pop culture reference, when a brown rabbit follows the white one... then a black one... then twenty rabbits... oh my god there's so many rabbits. Rabbits everywhere. The rabbits cannot be stopped- there's just dozens and dozens of rabbits hopping about the maze and nibbling on the hedges. Their noses twitch as they hop about. It occurs to you that these might not be normal rabbits- they might, in fact, be Easter bunnies! If you rolled a 1, you got too distracted by the rabbits to look for eggs and just started petting them and playing with them until Jump Scare ended up find you and dragging you out. If you rolled a 10, you just weren't lucky enough to find any eggs, despite being surrounded by rabbit feet. But if you rolled a 2-9, you found a rabbit with a bow tied 'round it and attached to that bow... an Easter egg!

 

[Scaramouche Fandango]

A noise like thunder crashes and Jump Scare, channeling a much funnier bunny and dressed as some approximation of a Valkyrie, appears. Yarn braids swing from his horned helmet as he yodels an aria. “Time to move O-ON, time to move O-ON, time to move O-ON, TIME TO MOVE ON!” He pokes at the stragglers with a rubber-tipped spear as the group moves into what looks like a small theatre. Cobwebby costumes suggest that this was perhaps once considered for development as an area for stage shows; a wide variety of motheaten props and backdrops lends credence to this theory. A red velvet curtain coated in a thick layer of dust cordons the group off from the front of house, though if you wanted to, you could look out there- there’s an orchestra pit that looks as though it might be promising. In addition, there's a small dressing room in the shadows of the wings- this also could be a decent place to hide eggs.

What do you choose?

A. A row of metal racks with costumes hanging from them- mercifully, none of them are awful mascot suits this time.
B. A jumble of dusty furniture
C. A dingy dressing room
D. An old filing cabinet stuffed with scripts and playbills
E. A wardrobe full of oversized costumes and masks
F. The orchestra pit

Glad to be free of rats and no eggs the wiser for it, Foxtrot galloped into the next room on command just like all the others. Peering around at all the possible places to look, the purple mare decided on an old filing cabinet fit to burst. Glancing at a drawer side ways, she braced herself and began to yank it open.

Eggs: 3
