"Jake!" She didn't call too loudly, not wanting to attract a whole ton of attention. She did keep an eye out for the blue minipet, but saw no sign of him. Instead, she narrowly missed falling into a pit, and then missed being squished by some falling rocks.

After finding a dead end, Sherry took a few moments to catch her breath before waddling on.

And then BAM! she rounded a random corner, and found that she was out of the maze. Slightly singed, bruised, and looking a little bit worse for wear.

"Finally."

Stamina: 30

gaia_crown [ Round 3: ]

- The palace itself is quiet, peaceful, oddly beautiful despite its decaying and ruined nature. You see strange statues everywhere, depicting odd figures. You begin to hear a song and then feel slow, sluggish almost.
- All players must roll 1d10. If any player rolls a 4 this is everyone ends up turned into a minipet and you are stuck like this for an IC 24 hours. You will immediately get portaled back home. (YES THIS INCLUDES HUNTERS). Otherwise match your rolls to the results:
1: You are now a minipet (just for you)
2: Nothing happens
3: You are now a minipet (just for you)
4: Everyone is now a minipet (and are portaled out)
5: Nothing happens
6: Nothing happens
7: - 50% of your remaining HP
8: Nothing happens
9: -50% of your remaining HP
10: You are now a minipet (just for you)

- All players need to roll 3 times to make it to the next round EACH
- If you are turned into a minipet (individual) you can still continue on with the quest!
- If you are turned into a minipet twice you simply change species.
- If you are portaled out you must start again from Round 1! Yes, you can attempt this quest again as a minipet!

Tilting his head this way and that, he stared the familiar ruins, wondering, waiting, for something to happen.
And then Sherry appeared, and... was she burnt?


Jake merely shrugged, looking at the ruins again. She was alive, they were here. That was all that mattered.

Taking a deep breath, he took a step forward.
Ok, he was here. He was NOT going to be stuck as a furry turtlecat creature forever.
He... would now be stuck as this.

The place was still oddly beautiful. Even the song, faint as it was, was pretty. Very, very...Sherry shook her head. She couldn't loose focus now.

"Ok, we-" Sherry stopped short. It would appear that Jake had changed shape again. "Whoa." Sherry's ears flattened in concern.

"You still alright?"

Jake stared at his paws, and flit about irritably.
"Really. REALLY?! ARE YOU ******* KIDDING ME?!"
His wings beat rapidly as he lashed his tail around, wanting to break something.

No. He was not ok. Far from ok.
HE WAS STILL A ******* MINIPET.

Sherry flinched slightly at his outburst. She was going to have make this whole fiasco up to him later. Somehow.

For now, though? "We'll work something out! You won't be like that forever." She continued to watch him as her feet moved, carrying her forward. There had to be something in this place that could help.

Ears still pinned low, Sherry continued on, going deeper into the palace. It was lovely, and the music helped to create such a nice atmosphere. She almost paused to examine and odd statue before shaking her head again. Focus.

"Stick close."

He glared at her.

"I sure hope so, considering this was ALL YOUR FAULT in the first place."
At her request, he only flew higher, the only consolation about this new form was that he could fly, and she couldn't.
To hell with that. He would figure out this out himself.

"I already said I was sorry!" Sherry called up after him. Then she shook her head. Off he went, more or less running off again. Predictable. "I'll make it up to you," she said quietly, more for herself than for him. Not that she knew how, but she'd figure something out.

Sighing, Sherry continued on.

((Hahah. Wrong dice.))

Walking was much slower than flying. It didn't help that she felt a little bit drowsy...or at least calm. She couldn't quite be certain. The music was nice, though. So were the statues, and the plants and...

She almost didn't notice the change in her balance. When she did, she looked down and let out a little yelp of surprise. She was no longer a turtle thing. She was now...well, still furry.

It was a good thing there were no mirrors handy. Sherry would have been distracted by her own cuteness. Very, very distracted.

gaia_crown [ Round 4: ]

- You finally make your way to the very epicenter, where inside, you see exactly six statues, each bearing an item. However, the area is very unstable as it seems like someone is watching you! Generate a number between 1 and 9. This is the item you end up with, congratulations! This is now your item to keep! Match the correct roll of yours to the item, and read the results carefully! If you roll 10, you can choose any of the items listed below.
- There is only one of EACH item so if you manage to claim the item in your quest, please come back to THIS THREAD to post the form below to claim that item. Make sure you also pick up its image HERE and read general instructions of use.
- These items can be targeted on another player.
- Once again the max you can ever obtain period of these items per character is one status effect and one battle effect item throughout all the class C items.
- These are first come first serve that means if someone else has already posted here claiming that item, you cannot get it! Instead, you can look one number above or below the item and select that item instead. Ie: I roll a 1, but 1 is already claimed. I can look at 2 and claim that instead IF I can.
- New items, will be imported in once this list gets cleared up/ claimed almost all the way up.

1.Calliope's Stylus: This simple stylus easily fits into any pocket, its weight feather light.
Status Effect: This object can be used once every three OOC days and once per battle. Its target is subjected with their voice changing into that of a movie trailer announcers: really deep, and everything is epic. Everything. They must also talk in third person, narrating their activities, for the 24 hour duration of this effect.

2. The Scroll of Clio: This scroll is made entirely of gold leaf, and has solid gold handles. Better be careful-- it's delicate!
Status Effect: Once per OOC week, you may use this item on a target. They now think everyone they meet is a famous celebrity, and want to shake their hand, take their picture, etc. It lasts for 24 IC hours.

3. Erato's Kithara: This ancient instrument's closest analog is the guitar. Its a beautiful and lustrous red, and it's impossible to play a sour note on it.
Status Effect: Once every OOC week, this instrument can be used on a target. For 24 IC hours, the target can only communicate in lines from romance songs. They are probably pop in nature, but epic love ballads are acceptable, too.

4. The Aulos of Euterpe: An old style flute, carved from ivory and other bones. It should be creepy, but instead, it's just hauntingly beautiful.
Status Effect: Every four OOC days, this flute can be played, and affects both the target AND the user. They have to communicate by SINGING THEIR WORDS in a chosen style (country, rap, pop, death metal screaming, etc) for 24 IC hours.


5. Melpomene's Weeping Mask: This mask is plain white, with a weeping face carved into it. Its eyes glow blue, and tears leak from its eyes.
Status Effect: Once a week, whenever this mask is worn, whoever the user is talking to is forced into a deep, harrowing depression. Their soul is blackness, their tears are infinite, they want to wear all black, and Nobody Understands. It lasts for a single conversation, up to 20 IC minutes, and can only be used on 1 target.
Careful!! Looking in the mirror forces the user into depression!

6. The Torn Veil of Polyhymnia: This somber veil is about eight feet long, and feels sturdy despite its delicate lace appearance. It's a little tattered and threadbare in places. At the right angle, some of the threads gleam silver.
Status Effect: Once every OOC week you may wield this object against an target. They become overly serious, and think simply everything is too mainstream. They find the urge to drink alcoholic beverages/pumpkin cider of low quality. Their clothes change to be that of a hipster. (Pick one from http://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/articles/2012/11/02/evolution-hipster.jpg here, or make up your own!)
This effect lasts for 24 IC hours. When it wears off, the target remembers their inevitable shame.

7. Terpsichore's Silven Lyre: This lyre is all the colours of the rainbow at once, and is truly opalescent in nature. The strings are barely tangible, and tingle the fingers when played.
Status Effect: Once every three OOC days, this Lyre can be used to make the target subject to dance - the effect varies from target to target from 10 seconds to 1 hour. They challenge anyone they see to a dance fight. Anyone.

8. Thalia's Hysterical Mask: This white mask is painted with red and gold filigree along its edges, and it's hard to NOT smile when looking at it.
Status Effect: Once per OOC week, wearing the mask and looking at someone causes them to be overwhelmed with an urge-- an urge to write terrible fanfiction about their life, and they ship themselves with everyone. Mary-sue, overpowered, intense fanfiction urges.
They HAVE to narrate it as they write at a furious speed. It lasts 3 IC hours, and the quality of the writing is...just...It's dreadful. So dreadful.

9. Urania's Compass of Stars: This tool is made of obsidian, and is slightly larger than your usual compass. It is the compass for math, rather than for navigating. If you tilt it just right, you can see the stars in it.
Status Effect: Once every OOC day, you may use this artifact. It turns you and one other person into an alpaca-- and arkpakassu minipet, in fact. It lasts for one IC hour. You are the fluffiest thing since the great fluffening of 2003. Enjoy!

Finally, it seemed they reached the center of... whatever this was.
He eyed the statues warily before turning his attention back to Sherry.

"Ok, we're here, now just-"
... Wait. Did she change too?


NO. DON'T. EVEN. YOU PROMISED.
<...Fine.>
Jake could almost see the imaginary pout.

Perching on top of one of the statues, he covered his face with his paws.
"Just pick something. Hopefully that will change us back."

"Ok, ok," Sherry didn't bother looking at Jake as she spoke. She was busy taking in the sight of the room, or whatever the proper term was. Statues, like the ones outside, but different. And if she didn't know better, she'd swear they were being watched. Not that she did know better. Anything could be watching them, and they might never have a clue. This place was just odd.

Sherry took a few steps farther in, and was suddenly glad she was small. The ground seemed a bit, unstable, for lack of a better term. She wasn't entirely sure is would hold her in human form.

Still, getting out of here quick-like seemed it would be best. Sherry dashed forward, but didn't get very far before things started to...rumble. She pulled up short. "I think I made it mad."

((Item Forfeiting!))
PostPosted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 8:24 am


"Oh for crying out loud, just PICK-"
The place started to tremble as he felt eyes on him, and he flew off the statue's head.

"Dammit..."
Luckily, though he changed species, he still had the pendant around his paw.
"Deus Ex, Deus Ex!"

He tapped at the pendant furiously, and teleported out.

Sherry didn't hesitate to follow Jake right outta that place. Sometimes it was best to retreat and approach a situation from a different angle.

Not that she knew of another angle for this situation. She could worry about that later, though.
