[enter!]
Since it was one of the most easily seen buildings, Poke ventured forth to the funhouse with a ken interest of what she might find. She walked through the gate with no care, entering the building.
But as soon as she stepped on the floor, she found it wasn't quite as solid as she first thought, and nearly fell over from the movement. She kept her balance long enough to scrambled to the end of the room, holding onto the wall for extra perchase.
Well, thatw as certainly interesting.
((stage 1 pass))

Entering the next room proved quite a shock. She hadn't expected to see herself reflected so many times over. It was quite errir, and she fund herself starting at the mor ebizare versions of herself (she wasn't that fat...was she?)
It got even weirder when she oculd of sworn that one image of her was winking. Or maybe it was some kind of illusion, she owuldn't put it past them to think up something like that.
At least they weren't jumping out to attack her.

Poke quickly got over the bizzare reflections, moving slowly through the maze and making sure her tail wasn't moving around and accidentaly hitting things. Because she really didn't want to pay for a new set of mirrors (nor put up with the bad luck resulting from breaking one.
Quite soon, she had reached the exit.
((stage 2 pass!))

Oooohhh, hey... a ball pit. This was new. It looked harmless enough though, so she wasted no time in jumping in with a gracefull swarn dive.
And was imeedatly churned about by the machines roaring into life. It was disoretentation, reminding her of a undertoe current that threw her about. As soon as she managed to get up to 'swim' across the balls, she was pulled backwards.

Quote: Stage 1: MOVING FLOORS Upon first entering The 13th Gate, students find themselves in a pie-slice shaped room with floors going in alternating directions. At the narrowmost end lies the threshold they must pass, though with the walls painted with gnomish carnies giving various levels of taunts and the still quite glitter walls, a seemingly simple task can become difficult in a manner of seconds. Dusting herself off from her last attempt, Aldara made her way back to the beginning to start again...

Quote: Stage 2: DISTORTED HALLWAY In the next area, students find themselves . . . looking at themselves. Quite a lot of themselves! Mirrors upon mirrors upon mirrors line the hallway at odd angles, reflecting upon each other to create a disorienting effect that even the most sharp-eyed Halloweener can have trouble with. While faint, somewhat warped cheerful music plays in the background, a question hangs in the air: Can you escape yourself? Once again she breezed through the first room, making her way on towards the second. She took a deep breath, eyes closed for a moment as she tried to gain a sense of orientation so that she could proceed.... Opening her eyes had been a bad idea. Once more she caught her reflection in the Mirror of Distraction and she couldn't help but wish she really did look like that. So tall, such long legs... Sigh. Quote: 2-3 = You know you have to make your way out, but you become distracted by how funny you look in some of the mirrors. Fat, skinny, hourglass, round, inverted . . . Wait a minute, did your reflection just wink back at you? Maybe you've been in here too long.

If the funhouse wanted to humiliate a water dragon, then it was doing a marvelous job. In a matter of seconds the machine ha dnot only managed to drag her under, but she was soon sucked down a tube, suddenly thrown out the end and onto the carnival grounds.
With a groan she sat up, turning around to shake her fist at the place before she stomped off to find something that wouldn't embarrass her. Maybe.
((stage 3 fail! 2 tickets obtained!))

Quote: 4-5 = You swore you saw the door to the next area and headed in that direction . . . only to find yourself at the beginning of the hallway again. How can you get turned around in a hallway anyway? She closed her eyes, shaking it off, turning to head in the direction she was almost certain the door was in... And then she could see the narrow room she had come through first again. "Jack'nabit..." She muttered, turning to start again.

Quote: 6-8 = Success! Perhaps a bit dizzied from the effort, but a success nevertheless! You traipse onward to the third area. This time it worked and, upon finding the door, she was just a bit more cautious, taking a moment to prepare herself for what was ahead. The Ball Pit... Of Doom.

Quote: 9-10 = Success! By concentrating, you manage to cut through the sea of colorful balls and reach the ladder. Climb on up and pass through the door for the final stage! She was ready for it this time, diving in to the ball pit with grace only to start 'swimming' for her life the moment it began to churn. She'd gotten a head start on the whirlpool and managed to grasp the ladder before it could get a proper grip on her to pull her down. She paused at the tie for a moment, glancing back down at the pit that she had come from, across the pit to the path of mirrors... And then her eyes drifted on ahead of her. What on earth was coming next?

Quote: Stage 4: THE SLIDE You're almost at the end. Just need to get out of the funhouse in one piece . . . Aldara heard music as she stood at the top of the slide, the wind catching her tangled hair, tugging at both it and her clothes. She had come so far... Fought so hard... And now she was facing... A slide? The harpy paused, thinking of all of those who had come before her, dwelling on the seriousness of the moment and what this victory would mean. Taking a deep breath, Aldara sat down, closing her eyes as she tried to work up the courage. The ball pit was no different than swimming, this would be no different than flying, right? Of course. She pushed off and let herself go... Having, dare she say it, fun? At first, yes, and then she started to pick up speed. It was just enough speed that she couldn't quite catch herself at the end, landing in a rather ungraceful heap at the bottom. She heard a slow clap coming from one gnome, and something a little bit more enthusiastic coming from another who, upon catching her glare, held up a sign that read "4.5". The harpy huffed at that as she pushed herself up, dusting herself off as she tried not to get any more cross at the insult. Clearly her dismount from the slide deserved just a bit more than that... Quote: 76-100 = You go down the slide a bit too fast. While you don't get a burn for it, you do end up with a less than graceful landing.

She was back for more punishment. Oh yes indeed. And punishment she received, at the chattery mouth of a b*****d gnome. Manyara leveled a narrow gaze and a snarl at the creature. One day, gnome. One day.

The gnome refused to shut up as Manyara stumbled. She bared her teeth at him hard enough that her jaw creaked a bit.

Now he was just mocking her, spinning up the floors so they moved faster. She spat and kept going, grimly.

At last, she slipped through to the next area, spitting a curse at the gnome on the way.
