Now that the peculiars have been “reacquainted” with each other and they’ve had time to feel more at ease and become familiar with the facility, The E.V.E. has requested them to help with a trial. They want to conduct an experiment to test their strength, wits and endurance, in order to “prepare them for the dangers of the outside world.” Thus the peculiars will be taken to a part of the facility they haven’t had any sort of access to as of yet… THE MAZE.
THE MAZE is located underneath the facility, and while its size is unknown, it is said to be at least ten times the size of the facility itself. There are three area’s to be explored, all of which will test the peculiars of their critical thinking skills and their overall perseverance, but the main goal is to escape the maze within the appropriate time limit of 24 hours while working with the (very little) resources provided. Now what will you receive in recognition of service, you may ask? Well, how does a trip out of the facility and into the city sound? But only those who exit the maze will receive this reward.
PHASE ONE beings when the peculiars are dropped in different locations within AREA ONE. Whether they look for each other or go off on their own is up to the peculiar. They will have 10 hours to escape area one and find AREA TWO. As they look for a way out, a task will be given to them, which will help them enter area two later on. In the meantime, perhaps they should watch where they're going… looks like the maze has a life of its own…
001. While the maze test will be taking place over a period of 24 hours for the characters, the event, itself, will be lasting all the way through next MONDAY ( 8/6/17 ).
002. Phase one will begin today, and will last until WEDNESDAY ( 8/2/17 ). The other phases will be announced accordingly.
003. Each phase will include a riddle sent to each individual character through their askbox, and this will need to be answered by the specified date in the form of an in character self-para.
004. Though the first task should be answered on WEDNESDAY (not before or after), we're giving everyone plenty of time to do it by sending it in now. Also, all task replies should be published publicly so everyone is able to see.
005. One wrong answer will not result in an elimination, but two wrong answers will call for the character’s immediate removal from the maze. Eliminations will take place at the end of phase 2 or phase 3.
006. There will be several other obstacles, such as the maze's walls changing positions. There's a 90% chance your peculiar will get lost, but watch out for those secret passages.
007. Each peculiar has been given: 1 x water bottle, 1 x protein bar. Use them wisely!
008. It is very likely that the characters will come across one another within the maze, which is how interactions will work during the duration of the event.
009. Those who make it through all three phases/areas will be deemed the “winners” of the maze, and will be taken into the city for the first time as their reward.
010. For all open starters pertaining to the event, make sure to use the tag peculiars:maze, along with our usual starter tag
011. Though other replies outside of the event can still be done throughout the week, event threads will still take priority for the time being. So make sure to focus on starters and replies that involve the characters in the maze, rather than any of your other previous interactions, while the actual event is still going on!
