Round 2 Results
(post 1 of 9)
Results for couples who chose path 4 ONLYTwizz + Yipes
Atlantis + Twinkleshine
======================================================
Quote: 4. It was only a glimpse, but if they were paying attention, the couples would have seen a faint glow and flash of a female with large white wings and a golden glow turning the corner down the first path. The image would be gone with a blink. It could be someone reaching out to help the couples, or it could be one of Eris' traps. You decide to investigate.
The faint image you seen of the female with big white wings and a warm glow is etched into your memory. It makes you feel safe and it's that feeling that lets you know this is the right way. Upon rounding the corner, you see the image again, light and fog mix to create the image of Tonantzin, Our Beloved Mother Goddess. Her visage opens her arms to offer embrace, and as you step towards her, your arms open to her and you close your eyes, overcome with warmth and love.
When you open your eyes, your arms are wrapped around your date, and you are standing on the ballroom floor of Venus' temple, right where you were before being transported to Eris' labyrinth.
You have been freed from Eris' trap by Tonantzin.
((While you are safe from danger, this does mean your pae'il is out of the contest. Please stick around, and feel free to RP the aftermath, or continue your date at the ball, because we have many prizes to give away, even to those who have been removed from the labyrinth.)) |

Round 2 Results
(post 2 of 9)
Results for couples who chose path 5 ONLYParvana + Aldis
Abhisneha + Aiolos
======================================================
CHALLENGER! Very charming and the effect of his arrow is permanent.
Quote: 5. The second path offers dim light at the end, and from where they all stand, the Pae'il will be able to see that there might be a large open area ahead. You decide to go this direction hoping the open area will provide better visibility for determining where you are.
As you walk down the path, you notice the lights get brighter and you are nearing another open area. Perhaps this is the way out!
Perched up top of the hedge just above the rickety wrought iron lantern, red glowing eyes stare down at you. It's hard to make out who exactly is up there, until you see the glint of light shine on the sharp edge of an arrow as it slices through the air and lands at your feet.
Himeros' golden arrow.
Along this path, on the ground, you notice more items among orange, yellow, gold and brown feathers. There's a few pairs of ladies' panties, a bra or two, several open boxes of chocolates, with all of the caramel ones eaten, and all the rest with a bite taken out. There is also a cooler full of ice, keeping Himeros' beer cold. There's a couple of discarded pizza boxes over to the side as well. Among all of the items, there is a black bowtie, and white cuffs. The same ones he wore during the Dancing with the Erotes contest.
You have to free him from Eris' enthrallment.
((Teigra: you control Himeros here. Remember he's under Eris' control so he can be as crazy as you want him to be.
Couples: You must first find a way to subdue, knock-out, stun or otherwise distract Himeros just long enough to put his bowtie on. Remember the bowties give Venus control of her sons, so she'd be able to help. Choose a logical item, RP your Pae'il trying to use it on Himeros, and roll one ten-sided die. The combined total of couple's dice must be greater than Himeros' health (7) The first couple to knock all of his health points off successfully subdues him long enough to get a bowtie around his neck.

Round 2 Results
(post 3 of 9)
Results for couples who chose path 6 ONLYLeitha + Cadassi
Namaqua + Thaddeus
Lust + Hoity Toity
======================================================
Quote: 6. To the left of the second path lies the third option. The path is lined with thorns that appear to grow thicker the further down the path they go. This is obviously an attempt by Eris to make you not choose the hard path, right? Or maybe she knows you are that clever. You decide it could be worth ripping your fancy clothes to find a way out.
Your tenacity paid off. Just on the other side of the thicket was another clearing with benches and light. You decide to stop here to check your date and self for injuries.
Round 3
Part 1 (of 3)
As you recoop and take notice of where you are, you notice that there's hedge sculptures surrounding this area. Some are just animals, but a few are recognizable Pae. Venus, Eros, a pae with butterfly wings with her head removed (it is lying nearby on the ground, recognizable as Psyche), and one unrecognizable female with butterfly wings like Psyche, long hair, and wrapped like Eros.
Notable items spread around this clearing include several transparent-yellow feathers, transparent-white feathers and a few golden and purple feathers. There is also a round shield, a golden picture frame with the glass shattered and the photo behind ripped: the photo is of a little dark-haired girl with blue eyes and miniature goddess wings, a decanter half-filled with red wine and three wine glasses -- one with lipstick marks, and 2 decorative pink and red candles.
13. While strange and intriguing, you decide the hedge personages won't offer any help in getting out of this labyrinth and continue on down a dimly lit path to the south of where you entered the open area.
14. You decide to investigate the hedge personages.
15. Being the clever Pae that you are, you decide to use that vandalized hedge personage to your advantage. You managed to push the fallen head to the base of the hedge and created a way to climb up on top of the hedge. You help your date (and any others that may have followed) and can see the entire hedge maze from your vantage point. You start heading towards a bright light and what you assume is a portal out of this nightmare.
Choice Code:
[color=blue][size=14][b]((Pae'il 1's name)) + ((Pae'il 2's name)) chose option number ((#))[/b][/size][/color]
((Please put any items your Pae'il may pick up in bold at the top of the post from here on out.)) |

Round 2 Results
(post 4 of 9)
Results for couples who chose path 7 ONLYAquos + Princess Celestia
Thom + Amadorine
======================================================
Quote: 7. You decide to move on, noticing that there is a path heading west, with the same kind of lanterns lighting the way. It looks safe enough.
The safety and well-lighted path has you cautious. There is no way Eris would make any of this easy. You are on edge, expecting everything to be a trick or a trap. Nothing is above suspicion at this point.
Round 3
Part 2 (of 3)
In the hedge on the left side, you notice a tall, slim gap, as if something just cut through the hedge instead of following the maze. Perhaps this is the trick you are expecting?
There are not very many notable items, but you can see bits of fabric, yellow feathers and a few random bits of red fur and golden hair stuck on the branches of the hedge, giving hints that maybe someone has squeezed through there already. Maybe one of the other groups of Pae'il?
16. This is definitely a trap. You're too clever to all for any of Eris' silly traps. You decide to stay on the well-lit path and continue on with your date.
17. There is no way the gap in the hedge is the trap. The well-lit path is definitely the trap. It's only obvious. You squeeze through the gap, further ruining your fancy clothes, and your date follows behind. Once on the other side, it's dark, with the exception of the white, glowing doe at the end of this corridor, staring straight at you.
18. This is a tough decision, as you're not sure which is the trap and which isn't. You look back from where you came, and notice a glowing butterfly fluttering aimlessly in the direction you came. You take this as a sign and decide to head back. Maybe you missed something important and the butterfly will help you find it.
Choice Code:
[color=blue][size=14][b]((Pae'il 1's name)) + ((Pae'il 2's name)) chose option number ((#))[/b][/size][/color]

Results for couples who chose path 8 ONLYLillison + Lugh
Elizabeth + Xanthea
Opal + Kane
K'anpo Rimpoche + Doctor Whooves
Shining Armor + Princess Mi Amore Cadenza
Nyx + Bneut
======================================================
Quote: 8. Upon investigating the area, a glint from something half buried under a dead rose bush catches your eye. You decide to dig it up in case it might be something useful (or valuable). (Each couple that chooses this option, please dig in your own area, finding your own item.)
It's the handle to something long. You aren't sure what it is, but you want to dig it up to find out! It takes all of both your date and your strength to pull on it. Just before you decide to give up, it slips loose, and the both of you fall backwards, landing square on your rumps, but not in the dead garden. You are back in the ballroom of Venus' temple. You clever Pae'il! Somehow, you found one of Eris' hidden switches to escape the labyrinth.
When you open your hands, you find an ornate, golden skeleton key. What could it go to?
((You have been saved, but eliminated from the CYOA game. Stick around, because there are still many prizes, including some for those who are eliminated.)) |

Round 2 Results
(post 7 of 9)
Results for couples who chose path 10 ONLY
======================================================
CHALLENGER! Vain, and the effect of her dance enchantment is temporary, lasting 24 hours.
Quote: 10. You decide it's a trap and decide to move on. There's a path to the north, dimly lit with no signs of danger along the way. That looks like the safest route.
At the end of the pathway is a small rock garden with a koi pond in the center. After walking into the garden towards the pond, all the lights suddenly go out. The light breeze has stopped and it's silent. Not even crickets chirp.
"Mwahahahaha"
It's too dark to see where it's coming from, but the cackle is getting closer. You turn quickly and notice a pair of glowing purple eyes approaching from behind. Now that she has your attention, she laughs again and the lights flicker back on.
Aglaia, Grace of Beauty, gives you a very twisted smile before the lights flicker and she disappears from sight, only to reappear right in front of you.
She's been enthralled by Eris, and you have to save her, before she tries to hurt you. Her magic has been reversed, so be careful if she targets you!
Looking around the area, you noticed several items that may be of help. There is a beautiful and decorative hand mirror with a crack across the mirror; a small leather pouch with sparkling, golden sand; an over-sized rubber mallet, a spider in a mason jar, a target with a photo of Himeros taped to the center, and a broken arrow sticking out of one of the eye-sockets; and a book titled "Sociology of Human Families, 8th Edition in English." There is also a delicate and beautiful golden tiara just under the surface of the pond.
((Nafretiti: you control Aglaia here. Remember she's under Eris' control so she can be as crazy as you want her to be. Her power has been reversed, so she can make Pae feel ugly.
Couples: You must first find a way to subdue, knock-out, stun or otherwise distract Aglaia just long enough to put her tiara on. Choose a logical item, RP your Pae'il trying to use it on Aglaia, and roll one ten-sided die. The combined total of the couple's dice must be greater than Aglaia's health ( cool . Roll in pairs until you roll a combined 8 or higher. The longer it takes, the longer she has to do harm. Once the tiara is on her head, Eris' enthrallment ends and Venus can help.)) |

Round 2 Results
(post 8 of 9)
Results for couples who chose path 11 ONLYLouise + Tariq
Tocino + Navidad
======================================================
Quote: 11. What the hell, open the box!
It's either Pandora's Box or, well, can't be anything worse, can it? You flip the top of the box open. It's full of paper. You pull a piece out and flip it over and nearly drop it when you realize what it is.
A map!
Round 3
Part 3 (of 3)
You and your date study the map carefully, looking for any kind of landmark or indication that might help you locate yourself on this map. No good.
However, in studying the map, you can see that there are specific locations marked with different symbols. In the center, you can see a mark that looks like a bulls head, but you're not sure what that could mean. In the northeast corner is a butterfly. In the southwest corner is the symbol for a female, but in a heart-shape. There are also small arrows that seem to be moving around on this map. There are seven of them, but two faded right before your eyes.
But there is absolutely no way to tell where you are on that map. Or where you may have started. Time to start looking for landmarks and clues so you can get your bearings.
There are no items, as the two feathers and red scarf were already picked up, however each couple does have a map.
19. You are standing at a crossroads with three choices. Back the way you came, to the North where one group already went, and to the south where the others went. You look on the map for any possible areas that could have 3 paths converging, but unfortunately, there are many places. Time to start figuring this out. You decide to head down the light path to the north so you can keep an eye on the map. Maybe you can catch up to the Pae who already went this direction.
20. You decide to go back the direction you started, and maybe try tracking your progress so you can make some sense of this map.
21. You decide to dig in the box and see if there is anything else under the paper that might be useful.
Choice Code:
[color=blue][size=14][b]((Pae'il 1's name)) + ((Pae'il 2's name)) chose option number ((#))[/b][/size][/color]

Round 2 Results
(post 9 of 9)
Results for couples who chose path 12 ONLYAzure + Brandy
Mo + Princess Luna
Theron + Leilani
Fraise + Zoran
======================================================
Quote: 12. You also decide it's a trap, but you want to try the path heading south, because you just feel it in your gut that is the right direction. That and knowing Eris as the Goddess of Discord (and Chaos), she'd likely light up the path she wants everyone to follow. You are clever and decide to head down the dark and dank path.
The ground starts to feel soft, and the further down this path you travel, the muddier the ground gets. It's so bad, you start to feel yourself sinking and it becomes impossible to pull your own feet out of the mud.
Survival instincts tell you to stop struggling or you'll sink faster. You hold your date's hand tight and try to figure out a way to get out of this mess.
Under the mud, you can feel something wrap around your ankles, and before you can even panic, you are pulled under the mud. You can feel yourself land on something hard, and mud splatters everywhere. When you wipe the mud from your eyes you notice you are no longer in the labyrinth, but sitting in the middle of the ballroom floor, covered in mud. Standing beside you is Venus, her arms covered in mud up to her elbows.
"Eris is ruining my garden!"
Venus has saved you!
