πŸ’ LET'S STEAL PROM! πŸ’ Round 3!





ROUND THREE: Conquer the Maze!

You couldn't miss today's event if you'd tried. The entire atrium has been repurposed for the grand heist and much of the open area is blocked off by ominous modular walls, each of them stretching over eight feet tall - the freshmen insisted that none of the upperclassmen giants be able to spy on their work.

A set of ominous doors mark the entrance to this strange contraption. And just outside, a row of familiar briefcases wait on a table. Participants are asked to open their briefcases (and those who could not solve their puzzles last round are assisted by an especially smug freshman), because the key to solving this week's puzzle is waiting inside: a map. What's beyond the walls is the final event: a maze full of shifting pathways and frankly obnoxious traps. And somewhere, in the middle, the grand prize.

If you're going to pull this heist off, you'll need to conquer the maze.

Welcome to Round Three of Let’s Steal Prom!

HOW THIS WORKS

  • Competitors are limited to those teams which previously signed up. In the first round, each team was presented with a set of cards listing their 'role' for the event. These roles are for flavor purposes only and have no effect on the final outcome.

  • Stewart Ocean and his band of merry freshmen were still primarily responsible for this round, but Ursula did make sure nothing in the maze could seriously harm someone. If something seems too complicated for a freshman... assume staff helped.

  • Post your pair under the THE MAZE heading, and play out a scene based on the current round's scenario. For every tag, Manx will RNG a number between 1–25 to add to your pair's score.

  • Current Scenario: As soon as your team enters the maze, the wall closes behind them. That's not the only wall moving - every 30 seconds, the maze rearranges itself, but thankfully your map updates itself as well. Throughout the maze are trip wires, pressure plates, statues that resemble various staff members and magical proximity sensors that can trigger a variety of traps (see team assignments). At the end of the final hallway, there they are - a pair of crowns! Unfortunately there's a magical laser maze that has to be bested first and a team of eager looking freshmen perched high atop the maze walls ready to dump buckets of green slime if they hear the buzzing sound of one of the lasers being tripped. In a final twist, once obtained, the crowns explode in a burst of confetti and there's a note saying the winners will be announced at prom. In the distance, you can hear the sound of a wall opening. Have fun getting back out!

  • Please note! This information is being provided for flavor purposes. There's no need to encounter all traps or actually reach the crowns. Just pick somewhere in the maze and have fun putzing around. All gas effects encountered last 1 minute.

  • Up to 6 tags per pair will count for your score each round, i.e. you only get a maximum of six RNG numbers to add to your score. But feel free to tag more or less!

  • Double jeopardy! Team lagging behind in the weekly rankings? At some point during the maze each team will encounter a door labeled "SHORTCUT???". Passing through this doorway could bring a team closer to their goal... or it could land them back at the start of the course. Teams that opt to try the shortcut will receive an additional RNG score between -50 and +50.

  • The team with the fastest time through the maze will gain 5 bonus points.

  • Scores for round 3 will be rolled on all tags posted through Friday, May 25th 11:59 PM EST. For the sake of suspense, third round rolls and results won't be revealed until prom. Scores from prior rounds will carry over.

Hey Manx! Let us know how you want to handle shortcut rolls for your teams. :o If you've got a spreadsheet calculating this, you can totally just roll for yourself, that's fine.

Spencer's feet have long since come loose from the nefarious vegetation, but his lips remain planted on Ira's. They're not gonna win this thing anyway, way more competitive couples are out there, desperate to be prom royalty. Illegal prom royalty, but ran by Event Committee, so still some kind of school-sanctioned prom royalty? WHATEVER it doesn't matter! Sometimes Ira's got the itch to take first, and so does Spencer, but mainly when there's, like, a sport. His sport.

This is all pointless justification for when he slides his arms around Ira's waist and kisses him again. Then the corner of his mouth. Then his jaw.

Stewart had gone above and beyond again, and Jade's proud of the smartest freshman she'd gone head-to-head with. She's also not great at direction, and there are trip wires to avoid here. Her fingers are curled between Ari's, so if one of them fell afoul of something, they'd at least have a point of contact.

"They did so well, didn't they?" She sounds a little delighted, even as she sidestepped what looked like a funny tile. "I'm...oh!"

She doesn't get to fully wax poetic about the accomplishments of their freshmen friends, as she does land on a strange tile, or something, and without much warning, a net falls from the ceiling.

Does Archie want to play in a ball pit with Nisha, and do they want to take a shortcut?

Yes and yes. Archie is far too curious to resist a mysteriously labelled door.

The last time they'd encountered cursed mistletoe, it had been awkward. Ira had wanted the whole time for it to turn into something a lot like this, but he'd been too scared at the time. Or something. Whatever. Now, it's different. Ira's hard-pressed to remember this even is a competition. Maybe he should be in a hurry. He isn't.

His breath catches when Spencer's lips start wandering. "We're gonna be late." is a weak protest at best. His hands catch Spencer's hips to pull him closer, and actions are louder than words.

How much do they hate the freshmen right now: Probably somewhere around a 7, which I assume is generously low for both of them.
Did they take the SHORTCUT???: That SHORTCUT??? is suspicious as fuck. No way.
Anything else?: Maze Runner, but with losers.

god. yes. do you have a preference for g&g? i like to imagine georgie using all those points she has in flexibility toward nailing the laser maze and then griffin just walks in after her and they both get turned into slime monsters.
