The Corn Maze Strikes Back (maze posted)
https://i.imgur.com/fzGUlcZ.png As you walk by the muddy field you notice a familiar thing you could've sworn wasn't around yesterday. Boy, did you already miss the corn maze - Nox just isn't the same without this tradition! Crystals illuminate the entrance, carnival music plays from the speakers, and a vendor even sells candy corn to the hungry scouts. Nevertheless something seems odd. Have you ever heard those rumors that sometimes, when they collect enough energy, inanimated objects or places acquire a life of their own? Is the maze really safe to explore? Only one way to find out! How to Play:
Still unsure? It costs nothing to enter the maze, except some time. And maybe your soul. But to make your decision easier, every explorer shall receive 10 tea lights upon entry to light up your way. mdom - color: red. last seen on pg 19 bluebird - color: blue. last seen on pg 19 DreadedMartian - color: green. last seen on pg 7 Den - color: sienna. last seen on pg 19 KittyBeary - color: darkorange. last seen on pg 19 Merskelly Metalien - color: indigo. last seen on pg 16 Major - color: magenta. last seen on page 18 XoGizmooX - color: lime. last seen on page 19 Mekatra - color: darkslateblue. last seen on page 12 |
"Enter the Haunted Corn Maze."
|
It has been raining all day, but once you pass the muddy field, the sun comes out. Soon after a magnificent rainbow starts to form and is leading directly into the maze. You can't see where it ends, at least not yet. It just seems to vanish somewhere between the corn stalks. So you look around for your options instead. Apparently you could go straight ahead, or you could also take a turn to the left.
Go straight, or go left? |
|
The sound of screams barely muffled through the corn stalks, one of the vendors starts to show a nervous appearance. He speaks into a walkie talkie, and after a couple minutes the carnival music plays even louder. You have entered the corn maze of mdom. No, wait. Doom. The corn maze of doom. But you see mdom standing right in front you, and obviously get the same choices offered as she does.
Go straight, or go left? |
*Apprehensively Enters The Haunted Corn Maze* |
Go left!!
|
an epiphany
mdom do u want to be my meat shield? |D
i'll just follow behind you, and if you run into a trap, i'll choose the other paths lmao. when u re-enter the maze again, u can retrace our steps, so u can end up behind me, and i'll be your meatshield this time. the system is sort of like these pencils? if we win, i'll hand the prize over to you. i just want closure from mazes because i never escaped Glitch's one. also if anyone else wants to join this conga line, feel free too. idk how the prize (if any) will be split tho. |
suydasjdajd FINE
but!! what if I die soon then you're on your own |
Enter the Haunted Corn Maze.
|
that's why u can't die mdom! XD
unless dreadedmartian and Den wants to team up too? :3c |
"Enter the Haunted Corn Maze."
(YEEE LETS GO XD ) |
@DreadedMartian
That corn maze sure looks scary. I mean, sure - on first glance it's merely the usual corn stalks you've already seen countless times in your life. And the spooky decorations can't be anything more than a nod to Nox, right? But did that tiny werewolf just... follow you with his eyes? Thankfully once you enter, the small figurine can't see you any more. (Unless maze decorations can move, but that would be ridiculous.) In front of you you can see mdom, bluebird and a tiny werewolf. Go straight, or go left? |
@mdom
After what could only have been two or three steps, you see another path opening up to the right side. As it seems, you're currently the leading explorer, so you can't rely on anyone for hints - bluebird and DreadedMartian apparently still wait for your choice before they dare to walk any further into the maze. Is this your chance to become the first user in 2019's pit? Might even score a shiny trophy. But first, the usual tough decision. Continue straight ahead, or go right? @bluebird You didn't post a specific choice, so I'm counting you as still standing at the entrance. Your options therefore are left (where mdom went), or straight. Right now she's not yet far away, and very much alive, if you want to follow through with that meat shield plan. Go left, or go straight? |
Straight Ahead
|
@Den
You're an undead being with a weapon and an army full of candy corn. What could possibly go wrong? This maze poses no threat to a skeleton! Well, except maybe for that tiny werewolf figurine that seems to eye you hungrily. Eeek - whoever was in charge of the decorations sure knew how to do a realistic paint job. Suddenly you don't feel that comfortable here at the entrance and decide to move... Go straight, or go left? @KittyBeary Excitedly you rush into the maze. Nox always is so much fun! The hayrides, the toffee apples, the games! In front of you you can see a few users. Bluebird is intensely staring at mdom's back for some reason, while DreadedMartian and Den are obviously more concerned with one of the corn maze's decorations. The carnival music still plays too loud to hear anyone else, and so you can't tell which way is the best to choose. Right now the corn maze offers you two possible paths you could take. Go straight, or go left? |
@mdom
You walk straight ahead for a while and then almost bump into a wall. Have all these thoughts of death led you straight to a dead end? But no, thankfully another path opens up to the right. Since it's the only way, you continue on. The path leads right again, and then a third time. There you encounter a little boy in a witch costume, who holds up an empty pail. "Trick or treat?" The witch sniffs as you explain you have no candy, and then asks you if you can lead him out of the maze. Accompany the kid back to the entrance, or argue with him for the rest of the day and then resume from your current location tomorrow? |
Accompany the kid arguing
Bluebird - don't go left and straight |D |
@mdom
Alright. You help the kid back to the entrance, where this little witch then cheerfully hops off to annoy the candy corn vendor with his "Trick or treat!" and gap-toothed grin. Now that you're back at the start, would you like to: Go straight, or go left? |
Go left
let's try this again... |
@mdom
Just like before you take a turn to the left. After all there was this one other path you chose to ignore last time. Maybe it will lead you to fame, glory and tea lights. Or you just end up at the place where the maze workers hid their porta potty. If you don't explore, you will never find out. From here you can: Continue straight ahead, or go right? |
Go right this time
|
*Merskelly floats into a creepy mist and Enters the Corn Maze, after mistaking it for a land-kelp forest, disappointed that the stalk's leaves taste really dry and nasty, and not at all like breakfast cereal* >~>
|
@mdom
You follow the path for a few meters where another junction appears. Once more you have the option to go right, should you decide to do so. Or you can just walk further on the path straight ahead. Again you're the person who ventured deeper into the maze than anyone else (they're probably still discussing whether corn cobs or popcorn makes a better snack). Continue straight ahead, or go right? @Merskelly The bite marks you leave on the closest corn stalk blend in nicely with the rest of the Nox decorations. But that scratch you got from one of the other stalks upon entry must have been a coincidence. Vegetables would not attack anyone, haha, right? You try to distract yourself from sudden flashbacks of the Nox night years ago when you watched that killer tomato movie. This is a nice, friendly maze with nice, friendly paths. Which one will you take? Go straight, or go left? |
-lounges on a cloud above the maze-
|
:/ uhhhmm..*decides to go straight ahead until it's no longer possible*
|
Are you sure? As in: do you want to pick "go straight" at every maze junction until straight isn't an option? I'm telling you that you will skip four choices this way.... but I won't tell you where you end up until you confirm that's indeed what you intend to do.
Alternatively you can take a much slower approach and just walk to the next crossroads. |
:} *Chooses to walk straight ahead instead of left then, until something weird happens*
|
*Continues going straight* |
@Merskelly
You walk straight ahead, and after a few meters the path takes a turn to the left. A few more meters and you have to turn to the right. And then right again. Still there have been no other paths. Just some dizzy serpentines. Then it leads you left, and after some more steps, left again. Once more to the right, and finally you arrive at a junction. Here you could turn right, or continue on your path. What do you want to do? Continue straight ahead, or go right? @DreadedMartian You decide to team up with Merskelly for now. Maybe later you will pick your own path, but for now it seems nice to have some company. So you also get to enjoy the serpentine path that leads you left and right and right again, then left and left and right. At least the tiny werewolf doesn't seem to follow you. It probably was an innocent decoration after all. You arrive at the same junction Merskelly Metalien is pondering the next steps. Will you... Continue straight ahead, or go right? |
@Death by Mirrors:
>Go left |D |
@bluebird
You take a step or two to the left, and very soon after the entrance you see another path open up. Here you can go right, or also just follow the path straight ahead which you're currently exploring. Continue straight ahead, or go right? |
Straight ahead I go
|
Hmm....I hope I dont regret this later.. **Goes Right** |
I will go left, with my army of minions.
|
I'll go left!
|
:] Right. *decides to go to the right, picking some stalk leaves along the way to fashion into a stupid cool headdress*
|
>Go right
sdsds this plan isn't working as well as i'd thought. i post too slow OTL |
I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED BY THE POWERS OF SPOOKY.
>enter the corn maze |
@mdom
You decide to ignore the new path. No one got time for such distractions anyway. It's only maybe a meter after that you reach the end of yours. A dead end? Just as you familiarize yourself with the thought of going back, you realize you don't have to. There's another, smaller path opening up at your right. So you turn right and follow that one to its end as well. Another crossroads, another decision. From the left you faintly hear a hissing noise. Nothing can be heard from the right. Go left, or go right? @DreadedMartian Two steps to the right, then you reach the corn wall. From here you turn left, and after several meters left again. This time it's a shorter walk before you need to take another turn to the left. To the right you go and brush off some cobwebs on the way. Another turn to the right, and then the path leads left again. Even more cob webs. And two more turns to the left. Then you run into a little girl dressed as Spiderman. "I'm lost", she claims. "Can you help me?" Take Spidey-girl back to the entrance, or tell her she should just use her spider senses? |
