For the first game we're actually pairing off the teams against each other!
Group 1: Pink Butterflies | Purple Parrots | Silver Snakes Group 2: Orange Lizards | Copper Tigers | Green Monkeys Group 3: Red Jaguars | Gold Anteaters | Blue Barracudas
Three Mazes have been set up in the back of what use to be a Feild, it looked as if corn had been planted as soon as the early crop season would allow. Niflhel held his hand out as he showed the teams the Maze.
"I would like the Pink Butterflies, the Purple Parrots, and the Silver Snakes to take the Maze to my left. The Orange Lizards, Copper Tigers, and Green Monkeys to take the Maze in the middle. And the Red Jaguars, Gold Anteaters and Blue Barracudas to take the Maze on the right."
He instructed, "My Assistants will take you to your starting points, as well as give you a flag. This Flag will help us Identify where you are in the maze, and you must carry it at all times. Don't worried I tried to make sure they were light, as I managed to get the same type the high schools use for their marching band flag girls.
Through the maze you may hit dead ends, and other challenges, don't be afraid to take your time and explore all possibilities, because this challenge might not be about how fast you get through, but how well you work together.
As you can see, I have tree Stands placed at difference locations so that my assistants and I know where you are in the maze. We can also see if you cheat, so please don't take any shortcuts through the corn, as this is also about honesty."
Not that he expected any of those playing to make such a choice.
Lizards, Tigers and Monkeys Oh My!
Teams please label your posts at the top with the following in bold. Orange Lizards:
[b][color=green]Team Green Monkies[/color][/b] [b]Team Members:[/b] Pompeii + Sutai [b]Choice:[/b] (What Option you pick)
RP HERE
Prompt: The Attendants first lets the Orange Lizards Enter, after waiting a few minutes they let the Copper Tigers Enter, and finally after a few more minutes the Green Monkeys are allowed to enter the Maze. Making sure that the teams were fully spread out so as none of them could follow the other.
As your team walks along the path you come to a fork in the road, you know that going back the way you came is the way to the starting line. However, you can choose to go Straight or Right. How do you handle this situation and which way do you go?
((Because this is the first prompt you have a full 48 hours to respond, after this prompt the timer will be set to it's normal 24 hour rounds. If after the set time has passed and your group has not made a choice an assistant will come into rescue you. Please make sure your partner agrees with the choice you make even if your characters do not!
As a reminder Do Not Delete Posts or Change your Answer. It is considered cheating and if I catch it I will disqualify your team from the game. (Please don't make me do this.)))

Team Orange Lizards Team Members: Delphi + Sessrumnir Choice: N/A
Sessrumnir hoisted up his team’s flag, twirled it once for the hell of it, and let it rest against his shoulder, giving Delphi a thumbs up. “Ready when you are,” he grinned, moving towards the entrance of the center maze.
“What’s the plan? If we keep going in one direction, like always clockwise, we’ll eventually find the end... in theory,” he added, knowing there were countless variables, but doubted an exception to the strategy would be found in a maze made by teenagers.
No, no... he shouldn’t underestimate them. It’s what he warned others against, but it was so difficult to see past their inexperience sometimes.
He grinned as they reached the fork, glancing to Delphi with his free hand resting on his hip. “You pick. Clockwise or counter.”

Team Orange Lizards Team Members: Delphi and Sessrumnir Choice: Right
Watching him for a moment he nodded her head, she still kept her coat over her arm - too hot to go running about in a fur lined coat. She was not risking passing out, plus she had the hideous orange jersey on anyway and her coat would cover it up, she wondered if she could just ditch her coat on the ground here.
"That is true...so we could go with that idea." It was a game plan, for now, they would need to think of new things, change plans, as things came up and put a wrench in their plans.
When they came to the fork in the path she stood looking between the two directions before speaking. "Going straight would seem like taking the easy way toward the center - something which might be discouraged so trapped heavily." She spoke. "So perhaps we should go to the right." In her mind it did make some bit of logical sense, it was something she'd certainly do.

Team Copper Tigers Team Members: Falias + Dallol Choice: n/a
"So I guess this is it" Falias said to Dallol when their turn came up, reaching for the offered flag and absently tucking it under his arm,
They were up second, after the Orange Lizards pair made of a page wearing a lot of crystals in her hair and a squire.
"I guess we should probably get going" he said looking over at his partner and then over at the entrance of the maze in center before matching actions to words and walking over towards the maze's entrance.
Falias personally wasn't really too fond of mazes any more, hadn't been since the carnival from hell. But he was willing to do his best and it helped that the maze was a corn one rather than one made up of mirrors.
It didn't feel like they'd been walking for too long before the path forked, their options either to continue on straight or follow the path to the right. Well there was behind them too, although that as a choice was pretty pointless as it would only take them back to the maze entrance.
"Have you got any preference for direction?" he asked Dallol as he looked over at the blue-haired page. Falias was happy to follow his fellow page's lead in this, one path pretty much looking like the other to him.
Team Copper Tigers Team Members: Falias + Dallol Choice: Straight
"Indeed it is." The jersey hung loosely on Dallol's frame, obviously a size bigger than what would fit her though the fabric colour sort of made up for it with the way it blended with her translucent fuku. She let Falias have the privilege of carrying the flag for their team, nodding her agreement as she enthusiastically followed alongside when it came to their turn to enter the maze. She might have enjoyed her fair share of attempts at grabbing a pencil and tracing her path through the mazes she used to past the time with in her childhood, but this was admittedly her first time going through a life-sized one such as this and she was stoked by the experience to say the least.
"How about going straight ahead for a start?" Smiling wide at the Earth Page, she skipped ahead for a bit so that she could whirl around and jab her thumb towards her proposed path of travel, obviously in high spirits as she waited to see if Falias would be inclined to take up her suggestion this round.

Team Copper Tigers Team Members: Falias + Dallol Choice: straight
Falias' own jersey was more off a snug fit over the longish over top of his outfit, but he'd managed it even if it did look a little odd. At least the colours fit in relatively well with the overall colour scheme though.
Falias nodded as his partner spoke, skipping ahead a little towards the path she'd picked for them. "Straight it is then" he agreed cheerfully, following after Dallol, okay with letting the other page take the lead - at least for now.
Team Green Monkies Team Members: Pompeii + Sutai Choice: Right (i hope im not too late T.T)
A maze. Pompeii could do a maze. It would be helpful if she could use her yarn to leave a trail behind them but not necessary, besides it would be a form of cheating anyway. For the first time in a long time Pompeii felt secure in her skills, she had this. Now if only Sutai trusted her.
"If we keep our hand on the right 'wall' of corn we will eventually make it to the end." That was the main secret to every maze. Most mazes were made up of one continues wall and if you kept your hand on one side or the other you would eventually make it to the end. There were harder mazes where the walls were disconnected but she knew how to get out of those as well. With a smile, "Trust me, we will not lose" Pompeii headed off to the right with her right hand brushing against the corn stalks hoping Sutai would be following close behind.

RP HERE
Prompt: Copper Tigers: You have chosen the Straight path!
As you continue ahead on your choose path you notice a slight noise coming from somewhere and as you maneuver through some twists and turns it continued to get louder. Finally you a T in the road, if you venture right the noise seems to be moving away from you, if you venture left the noise seems to get louder. Which way do you choose?
Orange Lizards: You have chosen the right path!
As you turn off you hear something rustle in the corn. The further you go the louder the rustle until you come to a dead end as you reach the end crows suddenly take flight from the corn they were eating. It seems someone had left some ears on the ground. Welp, looks like you'll have to turn around and go back.
Green Monkeys: You have chosen the right path! - Assuming your partner agrees please read the spoiler below (If you want to rp it out and choose a different path then when you're finished please quote me to notify me of any changes.)

OCC TL;RD
I've added some information in the spoiler that may interest you guys. It's a bit of a TL;RD.
Short Version is; You have 24 hours to response to this post before I start taking points. HAVE FUN!
((You have 24 hours to response to this post. I've decided instead of disqualifying people yet for those groups that haven't posted within the previous 48 hour time limit (just even one person posting counts for both of you) you've been docked half the participation points. Until you reach the middle of the maze, after the middle of the maze the grace periods of having a second chance will run out; (I will note this) and an assistant will come save you. This is more about the RP team work than winning, and I want to make sure that is clear for everyone. However if you go an extra 24 hours over of not posting the participation points for that round are 0.
Please make sure your partner agrees with the choice you make even if your characters do not! It is advisable that you RP with your partners to make your choices. If something comes up and you cannot rp with your partners or cannot respond please tell us (me and your partner) ASAP; don't leave us wondering what happened to you okay?
As a reminder Do Not Delete Posts or Change your Answer. It is considered cheating and if I catch it I will disqualify your team from the game. (Please don't make me do this.) Also things that could be considered IC cheating (including using your weapon) to mark your paths may be foiled by random events within the maze. So if you want to tempt fate have fun, just be aware that there's always something watching you. OwO (IE yes I'm going to have fun with you guys if you mark paths, within the realm of realism.
Also there'll be chances to gain bonus points so no worries guys if you lose any!)))
Team Copper Tigers Team Members: Falias + Dallol Choice: n/a
Despite his dislike of mazes in general, Falias was overall feeling pretty cheerful. Much as he enjoyed working at the shop, there was something nice about getting away from the norm and his chosen partner, Dallol, had been good company to that point.
"Have you been a page long?" he asked curiously as they walked. "It's been about three months for me give or take" he admitted, as he realised with a jolt that it was three months - he'd first powered up in April, although it seemed so far away now. Then again a lot had happened in that time.
The path they had chosen may have been the 'straight' one, but it twisted and turned as it wound its way around the maze. It was on one of those twists that Falias thought he heard a slight noise coming from somewhere, he hadn't thought much of it at first, but it seemed to get louder and louder as they continued down the path - well up until they hit a T in the road.
"I'm inclined to go left but only because I'm curious about that noise" he admitted to Dallol. Whatever the noise was seemed to be definitely coming from that direction and Falias was curious enough to be interested in going and checking out what it might be.

Team Copper Tigers Team Members: Falias + Dallol Choice: Left
Come to think of it, this was the first time that Dallol was spending a prolonged time period on top of working hand in hand with another Knight. It was shaping up into an interesting experience as far as the blue-haired Page was concerned. Not in any way unpleasant at all as she made her way through the twists and turns, glancing around every now and then to see if she could discern the origin of the sound itself.
"Not really especially if you're cross referencing to eons or years as a long period of time." She remarked cheekily, pausing for a few seconds to do the math before continuing. "I'm just about three months ahead of you which makes it a total of six." Giving Falias a wink, she came to a complete stop when they reached the T in the path, a thoughtful expression crossing her face briefly followed by her concurring with him to pick the route that would take them closer to the source of the sound itself. "Alright. Let's go check it out then with a left this time."
Team Copper Tigers Team Members: Falias + Dallol Choice: left
"That's twice as long as I've been at it," Falias remarked, although he was smiling, somewhat wryly as he spoke the words. To date it felt like pretty much everyone Falias had come across had been at this powered double life for longer than he had and Dallol it seemed was no exception.
Maybe at some point there would be a situation where he would be the one in the position of being at this thing longer, although Falias was hoping that that particular day was a while in coming.
But that was something to think on for another day - for now they had a maze to navigate. Dallol seemed okay with his suggestion of checking out the left path and it was in that direction Falias walked, while trying to keep an eye out for whatever it was out there causing the noise they were hearing.

Team Green Monkies Team Members: Pompeii + Sutai Choice: n/a Pompeii wasn't surprised when she reached a dead end after the first turn since that was factored into the 'hand on the wall' strategy. But she still felt bad when she realized they were falling behind the other teams. A quick reverse while keeping her right hand on the wall brought them back to the first turn. This time she turned to Sutai and asked, "Do you want to keep with the plan or do you just want to rush through and try to make it to the end first?"
If pressed Pompeii could explain the mechanics behind the 'hand to the wall' but she wasn't sure if Sutai would be willing to listen to such an explanation.... most people didn't like listening to such explinations. Pompeii wasn't dense she saw the way people’s eyes glazed over when she starts to ramble so she has been trying not to do that. It was a lot harder then it seemed.

Team Orange Lizards Team Members: Delphi + Sessrumnir Choice: N/A
”Well, maybe you were right,” Sessrumnir admitted as they reached a dead end down the path they’d chosen, ducking as the crows flew away from their feast.
“No choice but to go back, huh...? How mad do you think that Niflhel guy would get if we just cut through the corn?” he teased, wondering how closely they were being monitored and imagining how hilarious the Saturn knight’s face would look. It wasn’t as though he had anything against the guy! He was just so serious about everything. It looked painful.
“So what have you been up to?” he wondered, glancing over to his partner. Hopefully Delphi was able to keep out of danger since they’d last encountered, and hopefully she figured out enough on her own to be okay... She seemed okay, but one never knew. “Keeping away from Negaverse Generals I hope...”

Choice: Go back and go "straight"?

Team Orange Lizards Team Members: Delphi and Sessrumnir Choice: Going back and going straight.
Staring at the crows she had to duck, hands up and over her head, as she stared at the ground and all the corn; what a mess. It looked like even if she had been right they had no choice now.
"Seems like it..." She whispered and straightened. Shaking her head she smiled a bit. "Mad enough to throw us out I'm sure. I've only met him once but I'm sure he doesn't want us messing this up by cheating." She said honestly. She didn't know him enough to think he'd get mad, or to know how serious a person he was, but she doubted he would want them ruining something he'd taken time to set up.
"I've been well enough. Though I did have another run in with that General and another one as well...the Carnival as well." She answered while brushing her bangs gently. "You've been well?"
Team Orange Lizards You have chosen the Straight path!
As you continue ahead on your choose path you notice a slight noise coming from somewhere and as you maneuver through some twists and turns it continued to get louder. Finally you a T in the road, if you venture right the noise seems to be moving away from you, if you venture left the noise seems to get louder. Which way do you choose?
