This time Miyako went straight for the sweets. She did not want to end back at that dangerous table of gnomes. Besides, she loved sweets anyway. So she happily scarfed down the treat. This time expecting to grow huge, she climbed out the roof. Though she was afraid of the upcomming maze.. what if she didn't make it again..?

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Came Junko's approaching squeal of delight as she flew down the slide, landing on her butt in the middle of the forest. She stood, smoothing out the skirt of her dress and making her way over to the table. She needed to avoid the Mad Hatter's party. She knew what went on there. She was not a running kind of girl, she didn't do physical effort.
...And then she forgot which treat was for which course. Crap! She bit down on the end of her thumb and looked from the cookies to the bottle and back again. Which one was it?! Ahhhh! Um...um...!
She picked up the bottle and drank it without another thought. She really should have eaten the cakes, something she only realized when the world got bigger. Jackdamnit! The world went dark, too dark for her to see. Whining, Junko ran in a random direction and hit a wall. She ran in another direction...another wall..and here! And--wait. Her head felt lighter. A quick check told her she'd lost her crown. Oh no! Where did it go?!
Junko got down on her hands and knees and started to crawl, hitting another wall and noticing it budged this time. She pushed at it once more to see if it moved. There it went. Junko blinked. Maybe if she lifted it? Did it lift? Junko was able to lift the wall, flipping the thing over her head.
Oh. It was her crown.
She sighed, making her way around the broken pieces of bottle and to the mousehole. She knew what this meant.

While Jay didn't mind getting wet, she really would have liked a warning first. She squawked indignantly as she climbed out of the water. Frowning, she took a moment to try to dry herself off before curiously wandering over to the table. She didn't hesitate when she reached for a treat and ate it.

Apparently nothing much was happening, so Clyde decided to snag a treat and eat it.
...
Jack. His head just hit the bloody ceiling.

Heidla was stubborn, and never learnt her lesson. So when entering the familiar place, she naturally grabbed a familiar bottle. Well, was it her obtuse character, or her acquired taste of the drink, you'll never know. As she explained it to her interior questioning voice displeased with her behaviour, she just wanted to make sure whether it was a hangover, and whether it could be cured by a little gulp of the same thing.
Well, it wasn't. Instead, she was once again turning small and helpless and rushed into the familiar hole to meeting the gnomes? cakes? make her home run? Ah, who cares! This is Heidla at her best, acting first and thinking.... well, after the whole adventure she will definitely think it over. Besides, the drink was really delicious.

After landing at the bottom, Akhem looked around. Interesting place, he thought. He wondered how he was gonna get across that darn pool. But might as well take a rest first.
He spotted a table with some cakes and bottles. He WAS pretty thirsty... He looked around. Akhem decided to take one. There wasn't anyone to see anyways. They shouldn't have left their bottles there. He downed it in one gulp.
Suddenly everything started to grow. WTF? Why was he getting smaller? His vision went black. Nothing new there. When his vision returned he saw a door. Where the hell had that been when he was by the pool? Oh well. He opened the door and walked through.

Alex came rolling down off of the slide much as he had done the time before. He stood up and brushed himself off before stumbling over towards the table full of snacks and drinks. He knew what would happen if he took one or the other, and he knew what to expect if he shrunk down and went back to the mad tea party but....
Shrugging to himself, he reached out for the drink and downed the bottle, feeling himself shrink once more, the bottle crashing into the ground and shattering among the many other bottles that had already done so before.
And then it was just a matter of making his way around sharp and pointy objects to get to the mouse hole again.

Just for the sake of research, Eisheth studied snack and drinks again. Apparently, despite the visible variety, they all served the same purpose: she was quite tempted to experiment with the snack, but decided to leave it for a next time.
Picking up her skull, the alchemist drank a drink again. This time her beads didn't make it growing smaller, so she had to leave them near the table while proceeding to the mouse hole.

The fall felt infinite, even though Amarus knew it could not possibly be so long. By the time she had made it to the bottom, something about this environment had almost returned her to her original state: slate-calm, iron-willed, and yet lost and without purpose. She was empty and unfocused, but moving forward because, well, she had to.
Eventually. For a long while, she simply stood and stared at the pool, wondering. She could not cross it at the moment, perhaps, but what could be done? She looked at the food, and at the drinks. First, she examined the food: sweets, delights, tiny cakes on tiny plates with tiny signs. As much as she had learned to love baked goods because of Xiu, how much more luck could she have with pastries? She had already excelled, somehow, at cupcakes.
Surely it could not work out in her favour again, could it? Unless she naturally had an affinity for baked goods. And on the other hand, the bottles... Well, normally she loved beverages, like the punch, and technically the punch before had made her loosen up, had made her happier. So perhaps it would not be so bad to drink the bottle? Although, okay, after the last time a land shark had eaten her and she'd ended up in the Nurse's office.
Which wasn't all bad, because now she was here. Disoriented, yeah, but here. And it was fascinating. And she might be lost, and in a place which she did not understand in the least, but she felt calm. Probably because while playing with the plants earlier, her fingers had gotten quite a bit cut up without her noticing, little cuts that let her essence out so that its scent floated up towards her without her realizing. After all, it had been too strange before the fall, and the air had already smelled sweet. So her own essence was calming her.
Amarus chose a bottle that was so dark it was nearly opaque, but when held up by her glow, it appeared to shine blue-purple. It was beautiful, as far as she was concerned. She uncorked it and raised the glass mouth to her lips. Here goes nothing, right? She took a swig of the bottle. It was perfect, somewhere between sweet and bitter, with a honey-like finish and it left her warm as if she'd took a swig of rum. Just... perfect. Something she had always wanted to taste, but would have never known it. And it smelled faintly of lotuses in water, which made her feel as though surely her ghostly eyes were going to well up.
Thankfully, she was promptly distracted by the fact she was transforming rapidly. Shrinking, in fact-- she sucked in a breath and waited as several layers of her own clothing shed and she had to push out of them like she was pushing out of a tent. A curtain. Whatever. Huge amounts of fabric. She ended up picking up one of her discarded previous sleeves and pulling it on as if it was an evening gown, using one of her old ribbons attached to a bell to secure it on. She jingled as she avoided, gingerly, each piece of shattered glass... Where could she possibly end up next?

The ride into the hole was exhilarating, like freefall, and Taima suppressed the urge to giggle like a scareling on the trip down. She tumbled out at the bottom, stumbling a little before finding her feet. As odd as the presence of this place was, Taima had to admit that she was curious about it. She wanted to explore it more, but the obstacles in her way prevented her progress.
Oh, well, at least whoever inhabited this place had been kind enough to leave free drinks! Taima perused the variety of bottles on the table before selecting one at random. She briefly inspected it, suspicious of its contents and origins--this was Amityville, after all--before shrugging and taking a sip from it. She was surprised to find that it was actually really good. She received a bigger shock when the dizziness set in. Her vision went dark, the bottle dropping from her fingers to fall to the ground. She closed her eyes and waited; when the world stopped turning, she cautiously reopened them, only to find that she couldn't see anything anyway.
Taima took a few cautious steps forward, her hands outstretched, and found her way obstructed by some kind of cloth. Pushing against it didn't do anything, but she followed the edge of it until she finally found an opening. She was startled to find that everything was so much bigger now. She walked around what seemed like massive boulders of shattered glass until she found a hole in the wall. Well, there was nothing left to lose, and nowhere else to go, so she went through it, all kinds of questions running through her mind. Where was she? How had she shrunk? And, most importantly, where the hell had her sock gone?

Miyako quickly grabbed a cake. Of course it was the sweets, no way would miyako choose the bottle every again. Those gnomes were way to scary for her. So she ate her cake, she was hungry anyway, like always, so then she started to grow big and climed out. She felt better this time around. Maybe she would do better now that she was more herself again.

Through the slide, her face landed onto the grass. It hurt a bit, why the rabbit being so rude to her?
Here she was again, the glittering pool. After knowing the truth from Riley that it was just a game, why not trying everything she could?
She picked up a treat and chewed it. After she swallowed the last bit of the heart-shaped treat, she felt herself growing, soon she was so big to see the treats and drinks on the table. No way she could go through the mousehole like last time.
Before she stopped, she reached a.......ceiling? and broke through it. Well, Arynek had no choice but to climb up, hoping for an exit.

Looking around, he casually wondered where he was. This seemed to be a theme for him whether it was trying to find the gym or a certain booth. At least every moment was sort of an adventure...
The cakes looked too good to pass up, so he picked up an orange colored cake with green frosting and took a bite.
The cake was delicious! He couldn't stop eating it.. wait a minute. Why was the plate smaller?
He dropped the plate in alarm, at first panicking that he was turning back into his monster form, but no... he still had fingers, not talons. He stared at his fingers as if hoping they would change, but hit his head on the ceiling and broke through it.
Looking around, down his sides, he saw no other way out but to start climbing out the hole.

his time, the ride was smooth, much to damien's relief. The landing was even smoother as feet found ground and not into a wet slide to home plate. The pool was still shimmering in all its splendor. it was a wondrous sight."No time for sightseeing pup." melas grumbled from the back of his mind. damien in response was rugging at the side of his skull. "Right right, time to go big."
The tiny one bite morsel was delicious, again, glad there was no chocolate for this one as he touched the ceiling with ease and from that, the same opening as last time.

Despite warning Jove about the pool of water and being careful, she ended up tumbling into it anyway, getting her hair and dress wet. After some pouting, she managed to phase the water off, and proceeded to float over to the table where the treats were. Combing through her hair with her fingers, she patiently waited for her new friend to join her.
