[ Sorry, I'm really tired u.u; So I'll post it tomorrow if it's alright with you]

Star only looked at went into the left tunnel, leaving Rose to choose her own choice. "Left is always right!" Star said happily, not knowing what happened to Chidori. But then they happened to be chests, so Star decided to go with the Left Chest.

Heading towards the middle chest, I stopped a safe distance away and behind the chest, just incase. I put my hand in my pocket, ready to use a part of the fur if I needed to.

Well, I certainly could have timed THAT better... Bandaid thought with chagrin as Helios charged. All this over asking about a piggyback ride! She let herself stage-fall as Terra ran up from behind to toss her, catching an arm around the qitari's neck as Terra leapt. A few magically enhanced springs and they were well into the air, and at what Terra seemed to judge a safe distance from Helios.

The qitari paused and shifted to ensure Bandaid was stably on her back, then switched to her more human form. "Is that better, Bandaid? I apologize that I'm not quite strong enough to carry you on my shoulders." A gigantic, dopey grin spread across Bandaid's face.

Ascertaining that Bandaid was content with the situation, Terra looked around to get her bearings. Confirming the direction she wanted to head, she piped up again. "We had best be on our way." She started to fly, and shortly after began to hear snatches of a song coming out of Bandaid.

"Iiiii can show you the world, shining shimmering spleeendid"...



For any bothering to keep track of time, the flight lasted about fifteen minutes. Terra's planned location had been a fair distance from the one Helios had selected, and the occasional loop-de-loop had done nothing to speed the pair up. Warning Bandaid to tuck her head down, Terra flew through the entrance of a cave, then came to a stop just above the ground for Bandaid to dismount, both giggling from the flight.

Once the two had composed themselves somewhat, Bandaid started looking around the cave. Judging from where she had found the girl, Terra figured the girl had a tendency to try and find an option not offered, and this had only been confirmed by her asking for another ride after Helios had taken her on one, so before she could get near the other edge of the entrance, a large drop-off looking into a much larger cavern, Terra snapped her hooves.


A sliding door came out of the entrance wall and slammed shut behind the pair, while a sliding wall came out and slammed shut across the area just before the drop-off. The new wall had three slick-walled and slick-floored tubes in it, large enough for even a Ny'vene to fit, one coloured pink, one coloured yellow and one coloured blue. The area should have been dark now, barely bright enough to make out colours thanks to her own magic, but for some reason was... brighter than it had been outside, actually. Curious.

With a somewhat excited giggle at the thought of seeing where else Bandaid would be headed, Terra looked at Bandaid as Bandaid glanced back...
"You must choose a path now. I cannot provide any more help from here on!" Terra gestured at the new wall. "There are three slides. You must choose one of them. Choose wisely!"

---

Bandaid turned to examine the cave she was in. There weren't any obvious paths besides the three slides, and the excitement radiating from the unicorn qitari seemed to be genuine. It seemed slides were indeed the sort of path she wanted Bandaid to take, especially after all those loop-de-loops. Probably because they would be fun.

Hopefully not !!FUN!!, though. Being on fire wasn't a particularly exciting possible outcome if she was holding to 'da rulez'.

Still, things like this were no fun if you had to do them alone. She turned back to Terra, making the same eyes she had made at Helios before.

"Can we take the blue slide together? Please please please? These are so much more fun with friends!"

@Rose,
@Starfall,
@Luxordz,
@LunarStorm,
@BandaidMcHealerson,
@Isa,

Terra raised an eyebrow at the huge adorable eyes then giggled

"Sure, I LOVE slides! But, you are aware that even if you went on your own, they won't kill you?"

And with that, BandaidMcHealerson went to the Blue slide in the middle and sat down. Terra sat down behind her and made sure Bandaid is situated comfortably between the Qitari's legs before Terra pushed off the slide. They squealed, giggled, shrieked and screamed in sheer delight as they went through all twists and turns of the slide before suddenly sliding off the slide.

Attempt to Give Flower. FAILED!

By time Luxordz thought to give the flower to InnocentWings, she had already left and Luxordz was left hanging. A sweatdrop appeared on his head as he went to stand 3 feet behind LunarStorm. Hmm what will Rose and Starfall choose? Will they choose to pair up at a chest or split up? Who knew? OH! They made their choices!

LunarStorm pushed open the Right Chest and blinked at its contents. The woman from earlier appeared behind Luxordz and with a giggle; scooped him up by his armpits. Luxordz was lifted and thrown into LunarStorm. A very loud high-pitched girlish scream tore out of both their throats as they tumbled down the contents of chest....Huh? What was it? Oh! It's a slide of course! A loud high-pitched nose of whirling water came to their ears. Wait. What? WHIRLING WATER?! Both screamed as they landed inside the edge of the whirlpool. The screaming continued as they were dragged into the middle and went under.

Starfall went to the Left Chest and pushed it open. Her face screwed up in confusion before her shoulders shrugged. Starfall saw InnocentWings push Luxordz and LunarStorm into the Right Chest. Starfall screamed when InnocentWings turned to face her. The girl jumped into her chest, grabbing the rope en route and let loose a long scream as she slid down the rope. Suddenly the rope stopped abruptly and the girl's hands slid past the end. Starfall screamed as she realized that she was not holding the rope. She fell down through the air.

The Middle Chest got approached by Rose. It exploded once it had been popped open. Rose screamed and tossed the small pieces of fur from Wafai into air. Wafai appeared out of thin air and yanked Rose out of way of the explosion. Rose collapsed onto her knees, trembling in fright from the explosion and gratitude for Wafai. She looked up at Wafai, preparing to thank him but words died in her throat. Why? Wafai's face was one of very hungry predator. Another scream tore out of her throat as Wafai pounced onto her. She jerked back violently and her neck brushed against a smooth rock....Uh-oh, it's a poisonous rock! Poison seeped into her throat and made a quick job of destroying all vital organs. At least she died a quick death than being mauled alive. After Wafai finished his feast, InnocentWings walked over from the Left Chest to inspect the damage and sighed at Wafai

"You really need to stop hanging around Theron. You're getting rather merciless" She then looked at the Left and Right Chests.

"I hope Starfall, Luxordz and LunarStorm did not hear Rose's screams. It would seem Rose had rather quick death thanks to the rock her neck brushed against. This is the end of the journey for Rose" she muses.

However, Rose could always draw art of what happens to others if she desire to enter the raffle.


Dear oh dear, it would seems that Isa heard Chidori's death. Poor Isa. His hands gripped the blue hanger and his feet left the cliff. The Fairy Joker went straight through the fog. A scream tore itself out of his throat as he realized he could not see anything ahead of him.

BAM! THUD!

Poor boy's body crashed into a solid being. Wait what? Is that a wall?! The Joker collapsed onto ground like how a paper would flutter into the wind. Oh. He's alive. Seems Blue was the right choice after all.......
LunarStorm and Luxordz came out of the Whirlpool and landed onto wet hard ground with a loud THUD! Somewhere else, Starfall landed onto cold hard ground after falling through air for few minutes. BandaidMcHealerson and Terra landed onto the hard ground softly with thanks to Terra's magic softening the landing.

They all got up and scanned the surrondings. It was an enclosed room with one passage out in the front. The ceilings had all closed upon their respective landings. Suddenly, a magical rectangle screen appeared in front of everyone (Think futuresque?) The screen clicked on and on the screen showed a lady walking toward the screen from shadows behind her. Seems her attire had changed again. She's now black-skinned, white-eyed InnocentWings with dark gray hair. Her eyeshadows were shimmery gray and her lips got colored gray. Her outfit now consisted of Vorkid Outfit with dark gray lace and lighter gray skirt. Her shoes were now almost-white. Clutched in her hand is Elemental Staff. The Essence of Draco (Ghostly Shadows) flowed around her gracefully and atop her back sat This Is All Draco's Fault (Lotus Wings). All in all, this is one odd woman.
Her lips curled up in soft smile......Or was it a small mischevious smirk?

"Welcome, welcome, dear five finalists! Both Chidori and Rose has passed away due to unfortunate choices. You five are all that's left. Make it to the end of this dear....maze and you'll get to go home. If you don't make it to the end, you're going to die. Understood? You all have same two choices. Go Left or Right. Choose wisely, my dears.

She speaks before strutting back into the shadows. The screen vanishes. Up ahead are two bends, one leads left and other right.


[[Also, you guys have till this Friday to respond. If you will not make it, please inform me beforehand so I can give you a few-days grace. If you do not notify me beforehand I will make a choice for you or kill you, depending on my mood at the moment]]

Edit: Forgot I had Word Wrap enabled in NotePad

looking at the two choices I'm currently presented with, I figure that this maze was likely filled with traps and perhaps creatures. Experience with mazes told me that the best way out of a maze is to travel along a wall, I took out both the rock and the (rejected) bouquet of flowers finding a use for them after all. I went to the right path and without even looking around the corner I tossed the bouquet in the air, splitting it apart and making it slowly flutter down which would likely trip any trap using wires in the air. Nearly simultaneously I through the rock low to the ground as hard as I possibly could allowing it to skip lightly, likely eliminating any floor based trap. Formulating a plan, I figured that if nothing killed me immediatly that I would stay as close to the left side of the wall as I could and, assuming the rock was still intact when I reached it I would pick it up again, and begin rolling it on the ground constantly to check for traps ahead of me...

A bit hesitant, I scurry across the others and follow towards the left path. Something about the right path didn't seem clear to her, and well - she had to choose something other than right. 'Right could be right' Star said in her head, but it was too late for that! She couldn't go back now. Up ahead, she saw...

Isa twitched and fidgeted, his nervous laughter constantly quiet and invading the space around him. Left or right...great choices. This would surely end him after all this. Looking left, he walked straight for the Right Path. If nothing else, he wouldn't see what would happen.

@InnocentWings,
this sure sounds interesting. Could I be on the ping list if another round opens up?
