MARCH/APR TEST DRIVE
MARCH TEST DRIVE
[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]
[CHECK OUT MORE ABOUT THESE LOCATIONS HERE]
A.SPRING FLOWERS INTRO - GARDEN
[Things are starting to warm up in the garden! Slowly and gently, things have begun to defrost. The saturated pink flowers from February have given way to gentle speckles of clover and bright flushes of green, knocking away the winter frost. Daffodils in bright yellow and white greet garden visitors.
Your local cherubs and imps have noticed that getting people to meet each other can be hard. Perhaps people just aren't as social in the worlds they come from! Surely, everyone's just too frozen stiff from the winter weather to break the ice!
Not to worry. They've got a solution! Visitors to the Garden this month will find a nametag affixed to their clothing again, but this time the nametag is here to do the work for you. When another person approaches or even just passes by, the nametag happily speaks up and describes a fun, short fact about its wearer!
Most of these facts are correct… but there's no telling whether or not they're anything you actually want to share. After all, it's not like the cherubs— or the nametags— asked.
B. IN LIKE A LION - PRIDE RING
It's Game Day in the Pride Ring— which is every day, of course. If you've taken the elevator down to floor one today you're inevitably swept up in the crowds, each eager to participate in and cheer for the public Obstacle Course Race.
You're slapped together with a partner and made to wait in line with them as pairs catapult themselves over platforms, jump through rings of fire, climb rocky crags, and swing over pools of steaming water to try and ring a buzzer. Pairs that make it to their destination get a sinful prize— two bottles of a prized hell drink that gives its drinker an ego trip the same way an energy drink would give you a buzz, and a shiny gold-colored badge with their name on it.
The only catch? Both competitors have to make it through to the end for either to receive a prize.
Maybe you're waiting in line, or perhaps you're going through with your partner— or maybe you've just gotta try and book it before anyone catches you. If you won, why not try enjoying that drink together?
C. OUT LIKE A LAMB - HUMILITY RING
[Those who found their way to the peaceful Humility ring are subject to a much less stressful experience. A cherub has organized a small scavenger hunt in hopes of getting folks to explore more of the ring— you know, if they don't mind. It isn't much, but they just hope you'll take advantage of all they have to offer, after all.
The tasks include:
…and other such cozy things. Really, it's a relaxing place to be.
Oddly enough, the place seems a bit more fortunate during the month, too. You might end up getting doubles of anything you obtain in the Humility ring— all the more reason to share with a friend!]
Wildcard

Re: Garden
The gremlin in blue pauses as she studies the winged human, that sure is a new trait for Catrina to add to her mental collection, "Nope..my brother got my childhood toy out of a hospital dumpster!"
"Catrina has the maturity levels of a preteen and cannot handle being bored like a grown adult." The name tag responded, it seems gleeful at tormenting its chewing owner.
no subject
"Oh...sorry t'hear that. But I'm sure he washed it first, right?"
no subject
"Catrina's brother, Fernando, had to be saved by her once after pissing off an entire crew of skeletons!" The Name Tag cheerily said, the timing couldn't be more perfect.
no subject
"Oh...it's the thought that counts?"
His platitude is swiftly interrupted from his own name tag (which he didn't even notice was there) spouts out, "Maurice does the choreography from CATS when he's alone!"
Maurice lets out a strangled squawk and slaps a hand over his name tag.
"UH-- I GOTTA GO!"
no subject
"Holy shit I love Cats! The production is great! I've been wanting to take my familiars to it once Danza was done being under house arrest!"
no subject
"Sorry! Sorry!"
He is trying furiously to rip the name tag off his jacket but it's stuck on tight.
no subject
Catrina then punishes her own name tag by making it blow razberries too in the same pointing fashion as she gave a sharp toothed grin of victory.
"Hey! I fixed the obnoxious name tag issue!" Catrina called out, she is clearly very proud of bring distress upon the name tags as they only sound like the sweet song of the Razberries.
no subject
His name tag continues to tattle on him. "Maurice sings Memory when he's having real sad boy ho--PHHPTTTT PHPTTP PPPHHHTTTTT PHTTTTT!"
Maurice skids to a halt when his name tag starts...glitching out? Farting? Is it farting? He's too puzzled to keep trying to run away. His name tag struggles to reveal his secrets, only letting out ridiculous sounds instead of words.
It's getting really hard not to laugh. He turns back to Catrina, his brows lifted in something like awe. "Did you do this?" He points at his sputtering name tag.
no subject
The name tag on Catrina is also struggling big time to share any sort of secrets as it continues its marching band of farts. Ah, the magic of making things sound comical, she is a proud little necromancing Opera Diva at that one.
no subject
He can only imagine the power Catrina must yield. He wishes he were able to cause chaos like that--and then he finds himself feeling surprised at himself. He's Maurice, he doesn't cause chaos! He politely exists in the corners of people's vision, if that.
no subject
"Thank you! You wanna join in for some mischief making with sound defect?"
