Nodding, she started towards the table with him. "Yup! You owe me at least one dance before the night's up, okay...?" Trailing off, she turned her attention to the buffet once more, not sure which she wanted more. It all looked soooooo good! First thing's first, she carefully picked up another glass of that delicious bubbly drink, finding that she had an affinity for it, as she did for the other sweets that lined the table. Taking a sip, she glanced back towards Atlantis. "Which do you think looks the best to eat?"

Eris watched the couples still playing and decided that there just wasn't enough to toy with. She wanted to see them encounter more of her pets, but they just kept on finding a way out. Slippery little things.

In the ballroom, the familiar grey and purple started swarming around Mo and Princess Luna's hooves, and the moment they notice it, it completely swallows them, transporting them back into the labyrinth, just the same as it had before.

Except this time, they were standing in a green garden with a fountain in the center. The open area is round, and there's a fountain right in the middle. There are statues of three women. They're dancing around each other, with their right hands up holding the bowl in which the water flows. They should be recognizable as Thalia, Euphrosyne and Aglaia, Venus' daughters. At the opposite end of the area is a golden archway that seems to have been skipped when Eris painted this garden with her dreary grey and purple scheme. Come to think of it, this whole garden area surrounded the statues seems to have been skipped by Eris' magic. The plants are lush, green and living, the fountain is flowing, and everything is colorful and very reminiscent of Venus. Even the lovely little pedestals with decorative eggs that line the rim of this garden look vibrant and lively.

((They've been put back into the game at Path 13. You can choose from the 3 prompts located there. ))

((Picked up some apples))

Thom had read her quite well, and sure enough Amadorine had taken a step towards the doe. When Thom stopped her, she blinked, then looked back at him. She was about to argue when she shook her head. "No, you're right..." She was acting foolish. In the dim light, she could see that Thom had picked up a basket and, after a bit of searching, she found apples scattered about. Taking the basket, she began filling it with the hard fruits, planning to use them as weapons for if they were taken by surprise again.

"Never again will I be leaving the lantern at home..." She muttered to herself, once more greatly upset and furious with herself for having left the light-giving item at home. Seriously, what was she thinking?! Oh right... that this was going to be a romantic evening at a romantic dance with her beloved Thom. Her own, self-battering thoughts were cut short by the angry, bellowing voice from right where they had been.

"Ok... I vote we keep moving as well." She kept close to Thom, hooves easily keeping balance among the ground littered with apples and other hazards.

Leitha is taking one water balloon, the journal, and the buzzing jar, and uncorking it

Inside that tiny jar emerged thousands upon thousands of moths. But not just any moths, RABID MOTHS. Rabid, hungry moths. Any Pae'il nearby would only have a few minutes to run before they decide Pae'il is what's for dinner.

"Promise, I will give you a final dance" he said, feeling bad he hadn't actually been dancing with her more as he picked up a glass of bubbles this time and looked over the food "I don't know, it al looks so good!" He said as he picked up a rum ball and ate it "their good" he said pointing at the rum balls as he finished what was in his mouth.

Softly picking up one of the balls and plopping it in her mouth, she hummed, grabbing a small plate and placing quite a few more on it. Then she moved over, grabbing a couple of devil's food cupcakes with raspberry icing, some chocolate dipped, marscapone-filled strawberries strawberries, and more truffles, these unowingly filled with irish creme. Taking it all, with her glass of sparkling wine, she moved off to a table to sit herself at.

Louise + Tariq chose option number 27
[Assuming that's the correct number, I thought it was strange that it shared the same numbers with prompt 17]

Louise had been turning the maps over to see if any of them were different from the one they had. It was all the same though. It didn't seem like they were going to get anything out of staying here, until Tariq told her what he found. As she looked at the arrow pointing the ground, she didn't have any doubt in her mind they should follow it. Louise followed Tariq through the newly created path, "Wow, good job Tariq!" the other couple that had gotten a map hadn't stuck around, so she wondered what had happened to them. Louise looked over Tariq's shoulder at the map again as they were coming up on a small space. Her eyes widened as three new paths appeared before them. "Oh dear..." she sighed, she couldn't make heads or tails of this thing. "Right sounds right!" she suggested to Tariq enthusiastically, she was trying to be good spirited about this whole mess, and so far things had seem to go well for them, if only they could figure out these clues.

((The numbers are deliberate.))

Terran would find inside his box two things: a little comb accented in opal, with a pink sapphire butterfly on it. And a little pot of honey. Hidden behind the honeypot a small little honeybee buzzed and flittered out, making a few lazy dips and turns, before flying down the second path. (path 27)

Atlantis grabbed a plate and filled it with several different things, some sweet and some savory and grabbed his drink and went and joined his date, sitting opposite her he took a sip of his drink and then ate one of the strawberries.

Everything happened so fast. Too fast for him to react. Before he even think he felt something hit him in his heart. He let cough as the air left his body and he gasped for a moment. He looked at the arrow to see a thin strand of light connecting himself to the Princess. She had been hit too? His his panic he ran forward. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE PRINCESS?" He stopped just before the crazed Erotes and threw the contents of the pot he had been carrying all this him in the poor god's face, still unsure of what it did.

After his little stunt Aquos rushed back to Celestia. "Princess are you ok? Are you hurt? What happen...." His voice trailed off as the scene around them became clear. This...A wedding chapel? His eyes fell on the pedestal beside the Princess...There were...Rings. He could feel his heart sink in his chest and he spoke in a quiet voice that was afraid and confused. "Did..Did we just get married?"  

[Dementia Requiem Asumi]

Leitha smirked, dropping the pot. "Run!" She stated, not seeming to be in a rush. The naiad was almost thinking of waiting for another little while, letting the rabid moths have a chance to catch her. No, she had to leave.

The naiad ripped her dress some, briefly considering just throwing it at the moths. That is what they ate wasn't it? No, she needed it to carry things right now. Without any more hesitation, Leitha ran. She only hoped that Cadassi was along with her so that she could make him carry more items. Leitha would never admit why she wanted him along with her. Not in a million years.

Terran + Moana chose option number 24
[*crosses fingers*]

Teigra

Terran peered in the box, pulling out the comb and the honey. He didn't even notice the small bee fly out of the box and head down one of the paths. the pink butterfly made him think of his companion and he turned to Moana and gave it to her, hoping it might cheer her up. "Here," he smiled weakly at her, he was still traumatized. "You should have this."

The box didn't help with his decision at all... he frowned, "Well at least it wasn't anything bad..." he held onto the honey jar and discarded the box, it was too much extra weight. "Well... now what?" Terran looked at the deer, catching its eye as it looked back to... make sure they were following it? He wanted to follow it, he was a faun, this creature was akin to him. "Lets see what this deer is up to..." Terran offered a hand to help Moana up, "I'm sorry we got into this mess..." he apologized to her.

Talk about a huge cockblock.

He remembered this. The sadness, the depression...The despair.."If you ever wanted to know how I felt before you...This is it..." He patted Nama's shoulder for a moment before nodding. "I'll be back...If I could smile I would...Love you." He wiped his own eyes as he moved around, looking for that tiara. He spotted it in one of the moving topiary. Aw man this was just hopeless! He was never going to get that...He and Nama would die here and it would all be his fault! URRG this spell sucked hard. He never wanted to think like this while with Nama and this witch was making him do this!

He sighed and thought about how to get this tiara down before just giving up. SCREW IT! It wouldn't work but whatever. He threw himself at the plant lady and reached for the prize. "Give me that!" Heavens this was so pointless.

Something seemed to die in the princess in that moment, as her escort spoke what she was fearing, what she believed had happened. Her. Married. Married? And for what? For some silly, pointless game borne from a goddess's petty jealousy that had absolutely nothing to do with her, her family, nor her subjects. And now, not only had it tainted a day meant for love, it had destroyed the sacred meaning of a union of two's souls.

That was enough.

Carefully, methodically, the princess took her makeshift satchel off from around her neck, placing it just out of the way and standing herself up. Her eyes narrowed as her wings flared out, her teeth grinding and her fists clenching as she barely whispered. "How dare you..."

She moved slowly, deliberately, towards the chapel, taking one of the torches into her hand as she glared at the god of weddings. With a strong voice, booming, not unlike that of her sisters, she addressed him directly. "How dare you! What right have you to bind two whom are not in love." Moving the torch in front of her, she approached him. "You have disgraced the utmost sacred meaning of marriage, and for what? For some insignificant b***h's game? That is pathetic, and weak."

Stepping even closer, she moved the torch closer to her face, distorting her features, already twisted with rage, with changing oranges and reds. "You have no right to your title, deity of matrimony" She went silent, before raising her arm high, closing both hands to the wood of the torch, embers flying from its top and her eyes closing shut as she forcefully swung it towards his face, shrieking, "HOW DARE YOU SHAME ME!"

In all this, the princess failed to notice the bow tie laying on the ground, not far off.

The mystery liquid that was in the pot Aquos was carrying around contained a sleeping draught. Smart thinking carrying that around, even if it was difficult.
