Welcome to Gaia! ::

STAGE 2 START! (Attempt 2)

The second stage. He had lost here last time. However, Mot had returned with a burning passion to beat it to the ground.

In fact, while he did stumble over his lanky legs a fair bit, the reaper was running through each obstacle like a pro.

"Yeehaw! Bring on the next one!"

(pass)

STAGE 1 GO! (( Attempt 1 ))

Shehk probably shouldn't have failed that first trial. The very first trial. Oh hell's bells. Had she really just...??

Shehk wasn't sure how she'd failed at the angled platforms when it looked to be relatively easy, but a misstep sent her spilling right off of that first challenge, leaving her with a really angry look on her face when she'd surfaced again, crawling back up to the start to try that again.

Epic.

Fail.

Catastrophic Failure

STAGE 1 GO! ((Final Attempt))

Here we are again.

The reaper was rather sore from the failed attempt previous to this one. He was starting to lose his temper.

Calm down. Just think of it like a game. Just a game.

It was insult to injury that the reaper who had been failing in many other parts of his life was doing so poorly at a mere game.

Mot barreled through the first set one last time, hoping running blindly would do the job.

((Pass))

STAGE 1 GO! (( Final attempt for the day. Shehkkkkk..stop faiiillinnnngggg ))

Shehk had taken a minute, after her lovely near-drowning-catch, to eat her find. It was probably morbid for her to be sitting out in front of the course with a squirrel, crunching into it..but she seemed content enough with it. Squirrels were delicious after all. It had been long enough for her mind to stop feeling like a pile of funk and allowed her to move on with things.

In her third attempt, Shehk's beginning-of-the-course run had gone about the same..only with less screaming and headache from that log rolling thing going on. She'd closed her eyes this time and managed to not puke up that squirrel all over. Which was fortunate. The second log expedition had gone relatively well. No squirrels to run by and distract the pricolici as well.

She seemed pleased.

However, the wall challenge seemed to earn a couple of confused faces. Shehk wasn't sure how she'd managed to jump such a..strange...looking wall. But it had been an interesting leap, none the less. She scrambled up onto the top platform, puffing her chest out ever so slightly, before looking at the last challenge.

...
...

Apparently she needed upper body strength for that. She guessed she could deal. Maybe. Never the less, Shehk managed to not let go of the ropes as she swung around like an idiot. Although she did end up clinging to the last one awkwardly and had to swing her legs back and forth to get it moving again before her feet would touch the track ground once again.

She panted, doubled over at the end of the first stage.

"i-I did it!" she seemed pleased, though her arms were killing her.

YAY! SHE DIDN'T FAIL!

STAGE 1 GO!

Lattice came forth deciding to give it a try mostly egged on by her Sister. So she was here now, sight challenged for the most part but she was there wanting to give it a try.

First obstacle was the Sextuple Step which she managed stumbling along and barely managing to make it past each gap once or twice she had to wave her arms about to maintain her balance in a way that didn't mean that she slipped through to her doom.

Soon she got to the Rolling Log. This one was a bit more ... challenging. She grabbed on to the log her needles embedding into it by the sheer power of her hold and soon she was rolling, rolling, and rolling. The needles helped and hindered her at the same time when she got to the end as she struggled to get off of the log and were embarrassingly stuck for a good five seconds.

Stumbling away from the Rolling Log she got to the Jumping Skitter. This one was much more difficult for her as with a lot more effort than she anticipated she leapt from one side to the other sometimes needles got her caught on the wall when she landed against him with a bit more force than she meant.

Feeling a bit dizzy she stumbled yet more toward the Blades of Death and she stared at the bridge with the large object at the center she couldn't quite define...She took a deep breath and ran across flailing her arms wilding and managed to make it passed unaware of the true devious nature of what was in the center.

She felt foolish and was even more foolish when she got to the Warped Wall and struggled to climb against it, sliding down it a time or two before she managed to get over it with a few frustrated huffs as she made her way to the final obstacle: The Tarzan Rope.

The rope gave her a bit of a struggle but with sheer grit and determination she climbed the rope to the finish. It wasn't the swinging part was the easiest part of the whole ordeal. Phew!

STAGE 2 START!


She went to the next stage and she went to grab a chain so she could start to swing only to trip and fall face first her needles embedding into the ground getting her stuck.

"....FFFFFFFFFF."

STAGE 1 GO! [Attempt 1]

Yuki wasn't really here for the competitive aspect. It just sounded like something that would be fun to watch. However, once he'd arrived on the scene of the intricate obstacle course and watched a few of the students participating, he decided to give it a go.

Convinced that he'd watched enough times to get the idea of how this was all supposed to roll, Yuki took some time to stretch in preparation before signing up and approaching the beginning of the course to take his turn.

The sextuple steps were surprisingly easy, with the ghost hopping his way across them without so much as a slip. Certainly, they might have been more of a challenge had he hit a spot that had managed to get wet. The second task was strange to him, but rather hilarious to watch. Getting into position on the log, he managed to give a hard kick to the edge of the platform to get it going. He was considerably dizzy once that much was through, but he managed to run on and leap on the trampoline that took him up to the walls he had to quickly brace himself between to work his way over the pool of water below. Offhandedly, Yuki wondered just how deep all of these pools were.

Truth be told, Yuki honestly wasn't too confident in making it across the bladed and wobbly bridge. When he did, it was a bit of a shock. The warped wall, however, was a breeze for him. He had no trouble lifting up his own weight once he had run and grabbed hold of the ledge, pulling himself up and continuing onward to the final test of the first stage.

Grabbing hold of the first rope, Yuki swung out hard and snagged the next rope to climb up. It felt to him as though that final act took the longest, but when the boil at last made it to the top to stop the timer, he had made it.

Yuki passed Stage 1!

STAGE 1 GO!


Plucking herself up from the ground with a lot of effort since she was stuck she then shuffled her way back to the first stage of the whole ordeal.

Once again she stumbled her way through the Sextuple Step. She Managed to cling to the log at the Rolling log without getting horribly stuck. She leapt gracefully at the Jumping Skitter and with a little less grace she flailed passed the Blades of Death again not wishing to linger.

At the Warped Wall she managed to make her way up and again she took on the Tarzan Rope with blind bravery.
