AVANTE EN GARDE

[idolpro]

[you find yourself in this derelict village, with not a soul to be seen—but before you is this station wagon:



for all intents and purposes, this baby is a simple "honk, steer, pedal to go, brakes to stop" vehicle that anyone with opposable thumbs can drive. despite its age, it does have a handy GPS system that displays paths you can take, but fails to identify anything like landmarks or other worldly features. last but not least: its paint job is done in your unit's color!

The following can be found in the trunk/dashboard:
• Icepicks
• These 5 Bone Saws
• A surgical set
• A single miniature of 99 Bananas
• one large first aid kit containing nothing but bandages and bandaids]

STARTING POINT

[idolpro]

[the GPS can talk, and it sounds a lot like God's voice]

Do please choose between the following blessed paths!

[the GPS screen then shows four paths fanned out in different directions, and reads aloud the vague directions in, once again, God's glorious voice]

1) LEFTMOST PATH

2) LEFT PATH

3) RIGHT PATH

4) RIGHTMOST PATH

[the GPS does not give you any hint as to which goes where. just like God herself, it's entirely unhelpful.]

Avante will take the right path
Surely it won't lead them wrong

ROUND 1

[idolpro]

THE ABANDONED ARENA

[idolpro]

THE ABANDONED ARENA
The path you've chosen sends you through an old battle arena that clearly hasn't seen any use in quite some time. As you drive through, you might feel small; the vacant seats all around you could have held a million cheering people easily.

EVENT: It happens at once—a dozen snowballs whiz past everyone's heads, with not a thrower to be seen. However, one member of the unit is pelted with multiple very hard snowballs concealing rocks, with it feeling as though a boxer beat them with several good punches in succession. The last flying snowrockball strikes them on the temple and (temporarily) knocks them unconscious, with a mild concussion.

Look out--

[Nemesis at least makes an attempt to find where the snowballs are coming from, attempting to get it with laser arm pew pew thanks Intensity]

[However, that is a different direction than the rocks, and when one strikes her temple she goes down like a sack of potatoes]

DECISION

[idolpro]

[the GPS speaks again and shows a forked path]

Will you take the LEFT PATH or the RIGHT PATH?

ROUND 2

[idolpro]

THE SNOWY HILLS

[idolpro]

THE SNOWY HILLS
The path you've chosen has you passing through the hills. Unlike other hills out there, these do not have eyes. The sky is a periwinkle blue that casts a similar blue over the snow. The station wagon miraculously has no issue ascending the mountain.

EVENT: Suddenly, an eclipsed sun rises from behind the hills. With such great odds, it must be that everyone missed looking at something so precariously dangerous. That is, however, everyone but one person—the surface of their eyes burn, and though their eyes still remain, their sight does not. They effectively become blind with eyes that now sting painfully on occasion.

REACTION/DISCUSSION

ONE OF YOU ARE FREEZING!

[idolpro]

Tsukasa will find themself affected much more by the freezing temperatures. Please OOCly pick one from the following:

Hypothermia: you're freezing, and if you don't get body heat now (or through the night) from at least one other person, you get the feeling you won't make it through the night.

Frostbite: one part of your body (a finger, a hand, a foot, a limb, a patch of skin, ANYTHING) is being consumed by numbing frostbite. If someone doesn't help you remove it stat, you will not make it through the night.

DECISION

[idolpro]

[the GPS speaks again and shows a forked path]

Will you take the LEFT PATH or the RIGHT PATH?

ROUND 3

[idolpro]

THE WATERFALLS

[idolpro]

THE WATERFALLS
The path you've chosen is taking you under a scenic waterfall. The area here feels colder, and water is splashing everywhere. Better keep your windows up!

EVENT: Just kidding, keeping your windows up will do nothing. A stream of water crashes through the flimsy roof and onto just one person. The water is so strong, and so cold, that it takes with it a large area of your skin entirely.

SOME OF YOU ARE FREEZING!

[idolpro]

Nemesis and Gold will find themselves affected much more by the freezing temperatures. Please OOCly pick one from the following:

Hypothermia: you're freezing, and if you don't get body heat now (or through the night) from at least one other person, you get the feeling you won't make it through the night.

Frostbite: one part of your body (a finger, a hand, a foot, a limb, a patch of skin, ANYTHING) is being consumed by numbing frostbite. If someone doesn't help you remove it stat, you will not make it through the night.

DECISION

Will you take the LEFT PATH or the RIGHT PATH?

ROUND 4

[idolpro]

THE CHASM

[idolpro]

THE CHASM
The path you've chosen leads you to a suspended bridge hanging over a deep chasm with no bottom to be seen. You won't be able to ride your vehicle across this bridge—it's literally not wide enough to accommodate it. And as daunting as it may be to hop out and cross, you can see a "FINISH LINE" sign in the distance on the other side. This bridge definitively leads to the end of this hellish adventure. You know it.

EVENT: As you cross the bridge, everything seems fine. It creaks and sways with the weight of everyone crossing, until the boards beneath one person give out. They can hang onto a rope for dear life, they can struggle with all they have while unitmates try everything to help, but this person Will eventually fall, for this death is inevitable.

DECISION

[idolpro]

[there is no GPS, but do you choose to leave for the finish line in the distance without one of your unitmates?]
