EASTER 2015: EEE EGG EXTRACTION CYOA!

[Scaramouche Fandango]

Choice Eight Results!

If you chose A...

The fake rocks are an integral part of any laser tag arena. What good are all the blacklights if there’s not fluorescent spray paint everywhere? They seem to be made out of spray foam- nobody ever said that laser tag courses were the type of establishment to spare no expense. It’s not too terribly hard to see that among the neon colors, a few spots of pastel stick out. Easter eggs! There’s a bit of a scramble, but you do manage to grab one.

If you chose B...

The plywood wall is slightly tacky and rough to the touch; still, it provides good cover for the laser battle. There’s not a lot of places to hide an egg along it, though- but the second and third people to look here do find eggs tucked into the inky black corners where the wall meets the supports that keep it standing.

If you chose C...

The low boxes are made of thin plywood; while they aren’t particularly heavy, they serve their purpose as obstacles. They are stacked haphazardly and painted black, and these boxes don’t open- they’re really just kind of a barricade to make it more difficult to get to your team’s base. They’re just there to give you something to rest behind as you occasionally peek out with your weapon, nervously looking for other, better laser warriors. You know, something to monologue against once you’ve been hit, giving your last words to your teammates. Something on which to make a dramatic last stand. Whatever they are, they aren’t hiding any eggs.

If you chose D...

The allure of the rope lights hooks you and pulls you in. Little dots of LED illumination chase each other around and around the central column. It’s mesmerizing, the way all the little bits of light play with each other. Speakers are mounted around the column; this is where the music is coming from. It’s loud and bright here, and if you wanted to dance, this would be the place to do it. However, the shaking and thumping from the bass doesn’t shake any eggs loose. Still pretty cool to look at, though!

If you chose E...

You look under an archway for the eggs. It’s a very cool archway; there’s blacklights that make things glow! White shirts, white fur, teeth, socks- all kinds of things are lit up by the blacklights. If you rolled an odd number, one of the things the blacklights light up is an egg! But if you roll an even number, you are having too much fun seeing what does and doesn’t react with the light to actually find an egg.

If you chose F...

You search the bright barrels for eggs. They’re filled with a strange, glowing goo. It’s sticky and almost translucent, and you can see some shadowy shapes in the bottom. What is this even supposed to represent? Nuclear waste? Alien nutrient gel? The theming of this laser tag arena is a bit off in places- but then, what laser tag arena anywhere has truly consistent theming? You fish around. The gel sticks to you, but it’s not really that unpleasant; if you’ve ever experienced Gak, it puts you much in mind of that. You make contact with an object and fish it out of the goo. If you rolled an even number in your first post, it’s an egg! If you rolled an odd number, it’s… a gachapon capsule! There’s a tiny plastic rabbit inside. Kind of weird, not an egg, but also pretty cute.

Suddenly, the lights come up, the music stops, and the fog machine hisses off. Jump Scare has lost the spandex and has changed into… is that a Power Glove? It’s so bad. He uses his gloved hoof to wave you into the next room, where you discover that the games aren’t over yet. This room is full of old arcade machines! Most of them are out of order, but some still seem operational. In one corner, several machines have been gutted for parts; it’s a cluttered mess, but maybe there’s some eggs over there. Jump Scare hands everybody a few game tokens as they file in. “No refunds! Don’t tilt the pinball machines!” he says as you file in. As Holly Mistletide walks past, he slips her a yellow egg that has "NUMBER ONE LASER GUN" on it in black marker. As Shrill X slides by,
he hands her a blue egg that says "LASER GUNS ARE REALLY FUN." Both of these eggs count for the hunt!

You approach the semi-dark arcade boneyard with a bit of trepidation. Canvas hangs over many of the machines, and the ones that work are little islands of light in the pool of dusty darkness. Chirping chiptune can be heard from a few machines; the loudest voice comes from a functional dance machine game. There's a ton of places to hide eggs in here. Where do you look?

A. The innards of the machines in the “graveyard.”
B. Over by a functional Skee-Ball machine.
C. Over by a working UFO catcher.
D. Somewhere by a working pinball machine.
E. Near an out-of-order pinball machine.
F. In a box marked “PRIZES.”

C- UFO catcher
eggs = 4
Well, he had done less than well in the laser tag arena, but here. Here was where Paws was going to shine! An arcade! She couldn't believe it! After all this stuff this was definitely going to be here favorite, she just knew it!

A lot of the machines didn't seem to be really in working shape, which was a little disappointing. However the UFO catcher seemed to be working fine and with a little hop in her gallop she made her way over to the game.  

[Fea Line]

Having got caught up in dancing instead of laser tag, Foxtrot counted her lucky stars she was able to at least snag another egg before being herded into the next room. Apart from the fun time edible room of joy and deliciousness, these next rooms didn't seem to get any more fun looking.

Ok well. Dancing. Obviously that took number one. But still. This arcade room looked more like a funeral for machines than an actual arcade. But at least some of the things still worked. Moseying on over to one of the working games, Foxtrot began inspecting this UFO catcher thing. Only to notice her daughter had the same idea. "Great minds think alike!" she cooed, giving Paw's a gentle nudge with her hoof.

C. Over by a working UFO catcher.

Eggs: 5

Eggs: 7
Choice B. Over by a functional Skee-Ball machine.

After such a fun game of laser tag and finding an egg, especially at the end with another phony that she had to find later to thank for such a fun game, she had not expected to have Jump Scare hand her an egg saying "NUMBER ONE LASER GUN". It counted?! Oh wow!

Onto the next room and... this room too looked fun as well! Sure it wasn't the laser tag room, but it did look like a fun room! Heading over to a game that looked rather interesting according to her, she began to see if there were any games there. Maybe she would even try the game out?

Eggs: 4

Oh, wow! Yushika seized up an egg and plopped it into her basket, humming a merry tune. Sliding past the others, she meandered over back to Jump Scare, eying him slipping eggs into phony's baskets. Hey, maybe he wasn't the worst.

Her eyes lit up once they were brought into the arcade boneyard. Sure, none were functional, but it reminded her of the time she spent with her grandparents at the pinball museum years ago. She immediately headed for the pinball machine, scooping up her basket along the way.

E. Pinball machine.

As she headed over to the skee ball machine, she had not been expecting for someone to call out congrats to her, causing her to blush and rush off to the skee ball machine. As she searched for an egg, she began to try out this machine game, startled by the phony who had given her congrats talking to her ", Oh! Ummm... of course!" She was quick to finish her round and let him try, startled by him too much to continue playing.

Eggs: 3

Huzzah! Another egg was found under the blacklights. It probably didn't help that the lights made lighter colors glow, making an Easter egg and easier find among the other things there.

As they moved forward Wisp could hardly choose where to go in the arcade. there were so many options she wasn't sure where she wanted to look first. Then she saw the box marked PRIZES and curiosity overwhelmed her. What was in the box! She just had to know ... Was it Chinese finger traps? Wind up chickens? Perhaps it would be even better than that, and maybe just maybe if she played her cards right she could get Jump Scare to allow her to keep the contents.

Choice F: box marked prizes.  

[Tristam Lockhart]

Lettuce laughed as followed after the purple phony, finally feeling like his old self again.

His eyes widen at the old arcade, curoiusly moving from machine to machine, touching buttons and pushing levers before his attention was taken by a large box


F. In a box marked “PRIZES.”

eggs= 5

Finally joined the diceless club  

[Ruriska]

She didn't find an egg but Jump Scare handed her one anyway, presumably because that 360 No Scope had been spot on. Still on a high from the laser tag, she found her way towards one of the pinball machines, only to realize it was the one that wasn't working.

Shrill gave it a kick and took a look around the area.

E. Near an out-of-order pinball machine.  

[elvyralani]

Rock hadn't even realized they were playing laser tag until the game was over and was even more surprised to learn he'd hit someone! Sadly no eggs were to be found, well the lucky ones to search with him found some.
He looked over the arcade area, some of the places seemed so obvious that how could they even think to hide eggs there? Or how this place is going it would make sense to hide eggs in. Anyway he had some tokens and he couldn't pass up a game of skee ball!

B. Over by a functional Skee-Ball machine.  

[theCorniest]

So Neg didn't end up teaching anyone much of anything about laser tag after all - honestly, how could he have, having never played a game before? - and Haute only came out of the laser tag room with a cute plastic bunny and forelegs still a little slimy, but so is life. Sometimes you find the eggs, and sometimes you don't.

The dim arcade looked pretty promising, though. While Neg made a beeline for the nearest functional arcade machine, Haute wasn't really too interested in playing any of the games. After handing over his tokens to his dad (much to the older phony's delight), Haute decided it'd be best to look in the piles of old arcade machine parts (A). What better place to hide an egg than a big chaotic jumble of metal and plastic scrap?
