The winding, twisting, turning slide finally ends, leaving you dumped out into the entrance to a forest. Before you can get to it, two things block your way. One is a long, glimmering pool. There is no way around, or over, because sometimes, things just aren't that easy. But right in front of the pool is a table filled with sweets and delights. Each and every little cake is placed on its own separate tiny plate. And attached to each plate, is a tiny sign.
Eat Me.
Bottles and glasses of every size, shape, and color surround the treats. Attached to the neck of each one is a sign as well.
Drink Me.
Choose carefully. You won't have time to do both.

This thread is also an ORP for anyone who's on this step of the event, and you can roleplay in it as much as you want! Feel free to take as long as you want deciding before you move on.
Did you choose Eat Me?
The moment the delightful treat touches your lips, you feel swollen with bliss at how good it feels. In fact, your lips are the first to swell, followed by the rest of your face. Soon enough, your entire body is growing at an alarming rate, until you slam into a ceiling you didn't realize was there, and break through it. Your only choice is to climb out here.
Did you choose Drink Me?
The liquid is your favorite flavor, and quenches your thirst like no other. Before you can put the glass away, it seems to grow in your hand, slipping out of your grasp and crashing to the floor. The world spins and goes dark, and you can't see a thing. When your head stops spinning, you crawl away, until you can find a giant curtain to pass through.
But as soon as you do, you realize it isn't a curtain at all. It's part of your clothes, that did not shrink with you. You are now 1/8th your original size, and at least one article of clothing did not make it. Your only choice now is to evade the giant pieces of broken glass on the floor, and head through a tiny mousehole to your right. It leads you here.

"-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Yes, Tseng was still shouting as he landed on the ground, feet first at the end of the slide. Dusting himself off a bit, he looked around to see where the rabbit hole had taken him. It looked like he was by a rather long pool of sorts. It didn't seem to end. Oh! But that wasn't all, there was a table nearby.
"Curiouser and curiouser... how strange!" he remarked as he stared at the bottles and food labeled for consumption. Why would they be labeled as such? Were they truly poison? No. That was nonsense.
Freya landed right on her head, and flipped her body over, only to have half of it land inside of the pool. Her legs and shoes were now soaked, and she pulled them out as quickly as she could, scuttling away from the water.
There was only one other person in the room so far, but she wasn't noticing him. She was in awe of their surroundings - this was no badly decorated little room. It felt like they were in some sort of cave. Calling out a sharp sound led to an echo that comfirmed the notion. It was so cool down here.
Except for that pool. That pool wasn't cool, it was cold.
There were food and drinks here, but she wasn't very interested in them.

Kettil had landed gracelessly onto the ground some inches away from his ghoulfriend. His shoulders took the brunt of the pain as he fell and he swore he heard something crack. Stars of pain dazzled his eyes and danced along his nerve endings. He hurt so much it even squeezed some tears out of him. The rest of him fell rather harshly to the ground almost as if boneless, much like a doll made of rags.
His breathes came in short, quick gasps as it seemed his lungs got so surprised from the fall that he apparently forgot how to breathe for several moments.
He dimly noted there was someone else here, along with his ghoulfriend.
Wonderful.
Did pain count as a presence? He hoped so. He was feeling a lot of it just then.

While Tseng was looking over the various goods when he heard a couple of loud splashes from the pool. Turning, he saw a pair of students now drenched thanks to their landing.
"AHOY! I see you decided to brave the hole as well!" he waved to them before deciding to pick up one of the vials of mysterious liquid.
"Hm..."
The horseman peered down the bottle... then downed it. Tasty! Almost immediately, he realized that the glass was growing strangely enough. And before he knew it, the whole world had grown! Or rather.. he had shrunk.
"ACK!" he cried out, "EVASIVE MANUEVERS!"
He got out of the way of the falling glass. Fast.

It was the crack that made Freya turn back around to see Kettil slam into the ground, and she rushed back to his side, pulling him away from the exit of the slide just enough to keep him out of harms way. She pushed his hair out of his face and put her hands all over him, feeling for any weird bumps or blood or anything. "Yeh all right there, Hooter? Does it hurts anywhere? Needs me teh calls someone?" Her fingers checked along his face, looking for any swelling.
When she came to assist him he was finally able to move with her assistance. He shifted along with her until they were out of harms way. Kettil felt her hands on him, and thus far he was not bleeding just yet, his gaze for a few seconds settled on her only so he had something to focus on. The pain slowly subsided and he held up two thumbs, "I'm okay, I think," he wheezed quietly at her as he now took a look around.
"Think Endy left me because she didn't want to risk falling like that as well," he muttered thoughtfully giving a bit of a cough.
So far the only trouble they caused was to their own bodies, "Did you make it alright? I didn't see how you landed.."

Relief flooded her when he assured her he was all right, and she squeezed him gently around the middle, helping him up to his feet. "I landed in teh water. Now my shoes are all wet." She squished them hard to let him hear it. "But not hurt. I was just lookings around with the boil-"
When she turned to point at Tseng, she realized he was gone. Now that she thought about it, hadn't she heard him screaming? All that was left was some broken glass on the floor, and a missing boil.
"Good," he said softly. He let her help him stand. As he heard the squishing sounds her shoed feet made he raised an eyebrow and uttered a short laugh, "Hope y'don't catch cold." He said as he leaned and kissed her cheek lightly.
He was looking for the other boil she mentioned but found only air.
The mention of food made him look at her again, "Yeah I could eat! Want to share with me?" Kettil asked cheerfully.

Her eyes fluttered when she felt his warm kiss against her skin, but when he asked her if she wanted to eat as well, Freya made a face, sticking her tongue out. "Is sweets! I don't wants teh eats any of that. I will take one of the pretty little bottles to drinks, though."
He wrinkled his nose at her, "How you know you can trust the bottles?" Kettil countered back at her. The boil shrugged a shoulder as he stared down at the selection of treats and sighed a bit.
They didn't even look filling now that he was staring at them. A mournful expression crossed his face.

The question was valid. Even as she walked over, and picked up one of the pretty little bottles, she hesitated. "Well, for that matter, how does we knows we can trust teh cakes? Now yeh makes me not wants teh touch either, but I thinks if we don't, we'll be stucks here forever."
As cool as the cavern was.. she wasn't prepared to live here.
He let out a quiet hum as he reached over and grabbed for a bottle rather than the treats. They looked tasty but if he was truly hungry then he wouldn't be satisfied with them, or so he felt. He was thinking with the endless empty gut that belonged to a boil that was still growing a bit.
"Mmm, I'll try the bottles with ya, together." He announced, deciding for them.

"Okays." Freya picked up one bottle, and put it in his hand, before picking up one of her own. Then she clinked the bottles, and twisted her arm around his, so that he had to give her his to drink, and vice versa. Whatever happened, at least they would do it together.
He let her put the bottle in his hand even as he reached for one and then clinked his bottle on hers. As their arms twined up he nodded, "Bottoms up, m'ghoulie," he agreed as his head tilted and he took a drink.
The effect was almost immediate after liquid went down. It was good and it quenched his thirst but there were other things going on. Darkness filled his vision and he felt dizzy. As soon as his world seemed settled enough for him to move he managed to crawl from under the massive cloth only to realize his tie had been what was covering him. There was no real love lost for it but still...
He liked that tie. ( ;A; )
"Frey...YA!?" His call for her ended abruptly as he noted the broken pieces of glass.
"FREYA!? ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" He was suddenly panicked. What if she got hurt? He moved toward the mousehole while trying to avoid sharp edges.
