[ staircase - ball pit ]
"Come on, come on," Ren said good naturedly when Jove stopped abruptly, bumping into the puppy. "We've gotta keep moving; standing in the same place - warrgghhh!"
The staircase had started to tremble violently, twisting and contorting, and then with a heavy shudder it shifted flat. Ren lost his grip on Jove's shoulder, fingers scrabbling to grab the nearest thing to hold onto, but unfortunately his scrambling was a bit too late and with a squawk and a flailing of his wings Ren tumbled down onto -
Wait. That wasn't floor. Ren popped his head up out of - ...er, what, exactly. ...am I in a ball pit..? He waved his arms uselessly, attempting to figure out just what the Jack had happened.
Except it was sort of like swimming in molasses - he didn't really get very far.
"Jove?" he called out, flailing a bit. "Jove? Are you here? Are you okay?"
"JOVE IF YOU CAN HEAR ME SHOUT 'BAZINGA!'"

((Staircase))
The pup's ears flicked backwards as he picked up the sounds of shouts from lower down, and froze as the entire staircase gave a wobble. It wasn't until he glanced back at Ren that he noticed the stairs behind them slipping into a very flat, downwards plane.
Not good.
The pup started running, leaving sparkles on the stairs behind him as he went, trying to outrun the stair transformation. Behind him Ren slid, and it wasn't much longer before Jove found himself sliding tail-first into the fruit-scented ball pit. That was more overwhelming for the poor pup than the chiming that arose from his flailing. He couldn't smell anything but whatever it was that was in that ball pit, and floundered around in a disoriented mess until he heard Ren call out.
The pup didn't call back, like any normal kid might do, instead he picked up one of the jingling balls and threw it at Ren. Of course he was okay! And no, he wasn't shouting Bazinga! What did that even mean?
((Into the ball pit!))

Something weird was happening. This was weird. Weird was the only way to describe the situation.
“Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird,” Cuinn repeated to himself, watching as several more students fell into the ball pit near him. At first the cu sith was not particularly worried or concerned. He was even inclined to play around in the ball pit. Sure, it smelled awful and made annoying sounds, but it would be an interesting thing to explore. While others did their best to make it to the edges or climb out, he happily stayed put… until Rykier was suddenly sucked under.
“Ry…?” he asked, his voice dripping with surprise. “Rykier, are you there? Don’t mess around like that!” No response. Okay, no big deal. Maybe the hippogriff was playing, too? “I’m sorry for grabbing your hair. Ryyyyyyy…?” Nothing. Now Cuinn was very very nervous. He glanced around, watching in awe as several other boils and girls were grabbed. "You should all get out of there before there's no getting out." Oh dear. This was not good.
The instinct to run hit Cuinn a few seconds too late. Suddenly the ghost canine felt himself being grabbed and dragged under. For the first time in a very, VERY long while, fear shocked his system. This felt all too familiar. He could no longer see the surface. He was buried on all sides by balls. Oh jack oh jack oh jack oh jack. Cuinn did not understand why, but he was absolutely, terrified. Not here – not now!
And then Cuinny was gone.

[ staircase ball pit - captured! ]
They smelled like fruit - why did they smell like fruit. Ren attempted to (somewhat pathetically) doggy paddle around the ball pit, looking for his little brother and wailing like a banshee.
"JOVE. JOVE IF YOU CAN HEAR ME JUST SAY BAZINGA, OK. JOVE WHERE ARE YOU? JOVE? JO - OW."
Something bonked him in the side of his head. Ren twisted around, rubbing his temple, but a broad grin crossed his face at the sight of the boil - who, judging by the stubborn glow on his cheeks, was not exactly pleased about big brother shouting obnoxiously for him.
"JOVE!" Ren cried, attempting to fling his arms around the boil.
Except he didn't really get very far and faceplanted into the ball pit with a fwoomp.
Then he was promptly sucked underneath.

Maybe he shouldn't have thrown that ball...
The pup, still covered in sparkles, took one look at Ren's ridiculous antics before turning around and trying to flop his way to the edge of the ball pit. The jingling was driving him crazy, and there was no way he was going to be attacked by one of Ren's hugs out here where other students might see!
With his back turned he didn't see the gryphon get pulled under, and when he felt something brush against his foot he thought it was just Ren being silly. Until it gave a firm tug and pulled him under the surface as well.

Someone was clutching his arm. And kittens were crawling all over him. Merope continued to stand there, petrified as the adorable cuddly creatures climbed him like a jungle-gym. Their little soft paws were batting at his clothes, watching with interested eyes as his fins moved back and forth before clamping down tightly.
And then they exploded in glitter. And confetti. It was getting everywhere: in his eye socket, his exposed flesh. The fact that there were kittens on his shoulders made him positively sparkle in horror.
He stood there, visibly startling and shaking the glitter off of him when Riley touched him. He jumped away from her and flared his wings, flapping them as best as he could to get rid as much of the glitter on him as possible. His hands reached up and he shook his hair as if he were shampooing it, sending out even more flakes of glitter. It was a good try -- at most he succeeded in dousing nearby students with glitter.
But in the end, Merope was still covered in a fair amount of glitter. “Arrrgh! How do you get this stuff out?!” He whined as Riley dragged him with the group of unfamiliar students.
The boil stopped and turned, coughing up a cloud of glitter before following. “I hate being undead.”

[[staircase]] Tail swishing lightly behind the visiting boil, Krovi was uneasy of how he convinced himself to go into the haunted house. His ears were pinned against his head as he walked the stairs. His eyes moved around to see the other students that have gone on the staircase as well. The stairs began to wobble from under his feet. His heart raced as he turned to see that the stairs began to turn into a flat surface. He was able to land on the landing, but looked to see that other visitor and students had fallen into the ball pit bellow. "I hope they are alright..." He said with a slight whine as his tail wrapped around his waist. [[Landing]]

Xiu was at a loss at what to do. Did she stay here and look for Shun? No matter what happened though, the reaper did seem like the type who could take care of himself, right?
One glance at Mitsu, however, and the Baku was running back up the stairs, flinging her arms around the other ghoul in a big hug. "S-she's right, Mitsu." Xiu said, gesturing towards the dragon ghoul, "This is Shun we're talking about, right? Of all the people we know, doesn't he seem like one of the most reliable?" She gave Mitsu another reassuring squeeze, even if she herself was still quivering and frightened from what just happened.
"You know him best, Mitsu. W...we should believe in him." Looking up at the other ghoul, she offered a weak, and faintly apologetic smile.

[ The Stairway ]
Van was about to reply to the Hippogryph, heading back up the stairs, but he felt... something moving? He didn't feel good about his current predicament, and suspected he should have kept running. Could he still make it? He wasn't particularly concerned about the demon and the monster he had just met, in fact, had they already started to leave without him? So Cervantes eyed the stairs and wondered if the next landing was within reach. In his hesitation, he didn't move remotely quick enough. So instead, and he saw the Hippogryph plummet with him, he tumbled down into some kind of fruit-scented horrible ball pit. For Cervantes' delicate nose, it was overwhelming. Aloud, he exclaimed, "This smells even worse than the water demon and the hippogryph combined." It sounded like he was truly mortified. Slashing away at the balls with his tail, he tried to figure out what to do.

[ Stairway - Inside the Ball Pit ]
Get out before there was no getting out? What did that mean? What had he gotten himself into, that puppies in t-shirts and fruit-scented balls were all over the place. And the pink, for Jack's sake! It was everywhere. Cervantes felt like he would drown in the terrifying plastic pit of cuteness. He couldn't even see his acquaintances any more, though he'd been ready to ditch them in a hurry earlier. He wondered, very briefly, if they were okay.
He certainly wouldn't be, if he couldn't get his a** in gear. Which didn't happen... the smell of fruit was so overwhelming on Cervantes' sensitive hound nose that he felt himself passing out. Consciousness was slipping further and further out of his grasp, and he made one last valiant effort to escape, but the balls merely slipped beneath him. He grabbed onto what he thought was a solid object, but could very well have been another living or dead being, and hoped that whatever had him in its grasp would relinquish him soon.

Although Pickles's shoes pinwheeled in quick, desperate circles, they didn't find any traction (even belated) and he belly-flopped onto the chute before sliding sadly down into the ballpit.
He only had time to hold his nose before disappearing into the colorful, fruit-smelling plastic.
His other hand flailed above the balls.
"H-help!" he squeaked. "I can't swim."

Riley cringed away from Merope as he shook the glitter out, but there was no getting away from it. She looked as though she was about to climb atop Demi in a last minute attempt to get away, but her arm was bathed in a fine layer of glitter. The muscles underneath clenched in horror.
I wish I knew, Merope. She growled, wiping her arm off on Demi. I wish I knew.
Though, from taking a good look at the leviathan, it was clear he had the short end of the situation. That glitter was getting in everywhere..
Come on. She curled her arm around Merope, and dragged him along beside Demi and his company. When we get to the end of this, I'm sure there will be some.. accomodations for removal. And if not, then.. you may have my tentacles, because I will be cutting them off rather than walking around this way. Her voice growled desperately.

His hand disappeared dramatically below the surface of the balls.
Then it came back up, because the first dramatic enactment was so good. Then a third and decidedly final time, before disappearing completely into the plastic.
At about that time, Pickles realized what exactly he was surrounded by (a sea of jugglable materials), and popped up again, forgetting entirely about the swimming. Floating on his back in the pit with absorbed nonchalance, he juggled a string of balls through the air and back-peddled his way past the other unfortunates and straight to the staircase.

Even the simple movement of swishing his tail from the left to the right stirred up a cloud of glitter behind him. Merope looked over his shoulder, giving it a half-frown as glitter tinkled out of him. It didn’t fall with the gentle hiss of rain like he expected. It tinkled. Like little bells. BELLS.
Merope turned away from the group and coughed again, scowling at the resulting cloud of glitter as Riley dragged him away. This sucked. This sucked, this sucked, this sucked. “I don’t think,” he began, running one hand over his exposed teeth in an attempt to wipe the glitter off. It didn’t come off. “I want them. I don’t know what I’d do with them.”
He fell silent, soaking in his glittery upbeat misery. As he glanced over to Demi, his eyes literally lighting up with an eerie green glow as he glanced from Riley’s arm to Demi’s and back again. “Wait. Waaaait. I think --” he coughed, one hand moving forward to swish the air in front of him to dispel the glittery cloud, “I think I have an idea to get rid of the glitter. Think.”

[RANDOM EVENT OVER]
(STOP ROLLING)
The lucky students were safe on the landing, or had crawled out of the ball pit successfully. All they could do was watch in horror as each of their companions tried to wade through the balls but inevitably were caught and drug down, struggling every bit of the way.
Seconds passed, then minutes, and just when it seemed that all hope was lost and maybe their friends had suffered a terrible, childish fate the balls began to vibrate. It was soft at first, and then louder, making the high-pitched bells within them hum and sing out in a grating jingle. Then there was one last loud CHING and all of the balls popped and dissipated in the air like a fine mist.
As the mist fell down and coated the captured students sprawled at the bottom in a fruity perfume, something else rained down with it - tiny little spheres. With the balls gone and whatever creatures had been hiding within them nowhere in sight, the students were free to crawl out of the pit and return to their friends.
There appeared to be.. little kisses on some of them though, staining their skin with horrendously bright pink lipstick. What had been in that pit?
-
Congrats to: Blade Kuroda, Ririka, MKVC, Kuromeez, Grey Dragon, and Face Your Demons. Please PM this account with your minipets username and your prizes will be sent shortly!
All students, including the captured ones, are now free to return to the group. Students that were taken back to the ground floor may choose to go back to the staircase or can instead go down the hallway.
Everyone can continue with the ORP, more games will be coming soon!
