When the students arrive at Moira's shack, they find the school janitor waiting for them, a big, bright smile on her face. "Hello, spookies!! Ready to move up a year, huh? You're all growing up so fast!!" Is... is she getting misty-eyed? She totally is.
"Okay! Come with me, spookies~ and I'll test your mettle!" The headcrab zombie turns and heads not into her shack, but into the large warehouse just next to her home. For a moment, the students are assaulted by the sound of Trashbots in operation, retrieving and processing all the refuse that Amityville Academy produces - but, thankfully, Moira doesn't go out into the processing area. Instead, she makes a sharp right and opens up a door set into one wall: a door leading to a well-lit tunnel that goes down, down, down.
Finally, Moira opens another door - a door that clearly has a smaller door set into it. A cloud of steam billows out. This room is in every way the opposite of the trash processing area above, smelling clean and fresh. With tiled floors and a line of small but perfectly clean tubs set against the wall, this room could only be for bathing!
A line of sullen, dirty gnomes stands at grumpy attention.
"All right, spookies! My gnomey friends... they just get so dirty," Moira sighs, looking at the gnomes as if they are children who have gone astray in some way. "But we have to keep them spick and span, so even if the Headmistress herself calls for one, they'll be ready!! Sooooo~ your test is to get them clean!" The zombie claps her hands and beams. "And you, spookie-" She points at Mitsu. "Since you're extra-super-special Hob-material, you get something extra once you finish helping! So don't leave too soon, or I can't pass you on!!"
She steps back and gestures at a table covered in towels, bars of soap, loofahs, and a few rubber dubbits. "Have fun~~!"

EXAM MECHANICS:
You must wrangle and bathe as many gnomes as you can! This phase of the exam, which both of you must complete, has two stages. After this phase is over, please wait for Moira to announce pass/fail before moving on: Sura, as Y1->Y2, must only complete this phase. Mitsu, as Y2->Y3, has an additional battle-oriented exam to complete after this one, which I will post mechanics for at that time.
Phase One: Capture You know that neat line of gnomes? Yeah, as soon as the ghouls go for the bath stuff, they scatter, though since Moira's blocking the door they can't go far! Before you bathe 'em, you gotta catch 'em... Dice Mechanics Roll 1d6 - you have a base of 4 turns to collect as many gnomes as you can!1: You slip on the tile floor and fall into a tub yourself! It takes you a while to get out of the water... (+0 gnomes; -1 turn!) 2: You manage to snag a single gnome by the waistband of his pants. (+1 gnome) 3: You heroically curl a towel into a rat-tail and trip two gnomes. (+2 gnomes) 4: You skid a bar of soap across the floor and trip two gnomes! Unfortunately, you slip yourself and take a while to get back up. (+2 gnomes, -1 turn!) 5: You knock out a gnome using a loofah as a blunt weapon. (+1 gnome) 6: A gnome trips you. You manage to snag him in retaliation, but ow! (+1 gnome, -1 turn!) Note that if you get a -1 turn on your third roll, that means you cannot roll again. If you get -1 on your last roll, you must instead have a single gnome escape your grasp.
Phase Two: Bathing So now that you have all these gnomes (and should you finish Phase One with no gnomes, you may assume Moira dumped two gnomes into your tub for you), you can throw them into a tub! Now it's time to get them clean... The gnomes (no matter how many there are, all counts are for the tub-o-gnomes as a whole) start with a -30 Cleanliness Quotient. Your goal is to get them back up to positive numbers! Please do RP the gnomes as struggling and being generally rude, though they can't escape the tub. Dice Mechanics Roll 1d8 - you have a base of 6 turns to raise your gnome tub's CQ!1: The gnome(s) thrash and splash and get soapy water into your eyes. It stings! (+0 CQ; -1 turn!) 2: You grimly pin down the gnome(s) and scrub them with the loofah. (+5 CQ) 3: Bubble bath! You slosh some into the tub, and soon the gnomes are lost in a sea of bubbles. It gets them cleaner, but... you can't see them for a few minutes? Oh jack, what are they doing in there?! (+15 CQ; -1 turn!) 4: You bump into a switch on the side only for the tub's jacuzzi function (!) to activate. The gnomes are smacked about and stunned by the sudden jets. (+0 CQ, +1 turn!) 5: Bath salts might help! You pour them in, and a sweet scent rises from the water. When the gnomes pause to inhale, you get in some extra shampooing. (+10 CQ) 6: You locate a washcloth shaped like a scareon. Its cuteness charms the gnomes enough that they permit you to wash behind their ears. (+10 CQ) 7: You squeak the rubber dubbit, and the gnomes fall into a silent stupor as if hypnotized by the sound. You get some scrubbing in while they're out! (+10 CQ; +1 turn!) 8: You flip some cucumber slices over the gnomes' eyes. Fair enough. (+5 CQ) If you roll something that's -1 turn on your last turn, it has no effect. Lucky you!
When you are finished with both phases, quote me for Moira's attention. In your final post, put the number of gnomes you caught and the CQ for your gnome tub. Your pass/fail is decided based on how many gnomes you caught and how well you cleaned them! Moira will announce pass/fail at the end.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me for OOC questions! For IC questions, quote me to ensure a timely response from Moira.

Sura had regarded the exam notice rather curiously, to be honest, looking it over with some confusion. Exam..wait, exams were important. She definitely would have been well advised to go and actually be there as soon as possible rather than taking a leisurely stroll down by the lake before hand or something.
Still, Sura had never met Moira before and found herself regarding the headcrab zombie curiously, her eyes flashing between several colors, as she followed after the Janitor. She really was a strange and curious individual, after all.
The inside of the warehouse seemed to be, to Sura, her sort of place - dirty. Truly, as a wild beast, she'd never actually heavily considered cleaning to be something she did. She couldn't even fuss laundry correctly. Yet, she passed a look to the lupine ghoul who had also been summoned to this little meeting they were having. She'd seen her in a place or two before.
Hmm, where, though?
The clean looking room seemed to actually cause Sura the smallest amount of unease, expressed through a yellow flicker in her eyes before she calmed again. It was just a room, though she seemed to track in the faintest amount of grime in with her. In fact, one of the gnomes might have commented that Sura probably needed as much of a bath as they did.
Which was true.
At the revelation that Mitsu was actually going to her third level of schooling, Sura looked to her curiously. She was examing with an upperclassman then?
She'd have to really do her part of everything well, then to try and match that, even if she didn't get the extra challenge after the -
"Hey!" Sura's voices rumbled and then boomed indignantly as the gnomes scattered, almost like thunder as she suddenly moved towards them to work on some herding. She was like a walking wall - one did not mess with that, but they sure as hell got out of the way. Though one gnome's attempt to get out of the way was a kick to Sura's shins, causing her to slip and tumble onto said gnome.
Which didn't sound like it ended well for the gnome.
[Turn 1
+1 gnome, - 1 turn]
