The Trials: Only Then Can We Begin
As noted in the OOC info post, your Trials will all begin on December 15th. As many of you will not be deposited into your trials with food and water (or any items of your own at all, in most cases), the Trials will last only as long as December 18th. If you've failed to complete your Trial by this deadline but have not used up all the deaths allotted to you, you will awaken by Maati's mana pool at the event's conclusion. If you have not failed your Trial by using up all your deaths, this will not count as a character death, and you will not need to submit for a penalty; you simply won't be able to obtain the reward you would get if you had succeeded!
Should you reach the end of your Trial, you will step out onto the rocky cliffs of Maati, exiting from one of the seven doors set into the cliffs at the seven points of the island's star shape. You see, those doors you discovered earlier weren't the entrances to the Trials at all. They were the exits. And set into the towering cliffs...why, those house the winding mazes that comprise the Trials themselves.
There will be a top-level below for each Trial. Remember to plan with your groups and communicate with your thread partners! Whether you choose to do mingle-style threads or lengthier group threads is up to you.
Once you know the outcome of your Trial, success OR failure, please do let us know so that we can ensure your character gets the reward that befits their triumph...or lackthereof.
Remember also to let us know if your character uses up ALL their deaths during this event. While death penalties will not be inflicted during Trial deaths, if you use up all the deaths allotted to you and die for real, your death penalty will NOT be reduced.

The Water: Don't Let Them Get Away
The rest of you have plenty to contend with as well, of course. If you've opted out of this month's event, be advise that the waters creeping across shores of Ensō, along with the rest of the island, aren't going to take evasion kindly. They'll seek you out, spread along every inch of the island if they can, until they can find you.

since someone still hasn't given her a name of any sort.. "Well, I could always whack you over the head with it, but that wouldn't be conducive to getting us all out of here."Despite him high-tailing it at the first sign of trouble, at the very least Taako seems a semi-decent sort and easy to get along with. This asshole, on the other hand...
One breath in, one breath out. At least the smile aimed at her is slightly more benign. At this point she'll take what she can get.
"That is enough." Calm, almost cold like ice. "None of us are happy we're in this situation, but we need to work together if we are to get out of here. She points to the dead body on the other side of the hole. "In case you haven't noticed, there are far more brainless creatures here who are more than content to attack on sight."
The least they can do is act better than savage beasts. Allura kneels down, holding the stick tight. It's a good thing it's bent on one end; it keeps her from dropping it. "This is not hell." Hell is knowing that one's entire people are gone and it's been ten thousand years. "Grab on and hold on tight."
Everything inside her screams that this is foolish to trust the strange centaur, but either they do so or they will remained trapped in here.

(Foster is fully aware that he probably makes up like half of Taako's current irritation, but that doesn't really deter him in any way.)
"No," he agrees with Allura, although more because he has physically been to hell, more than one of them in fact. "It's not."
The second time he went to hell actually involved Taako. The other Taako.
He hesitates to lay his paws on Allura, though--in part because he doesn't know where, but more because he actually has reservations about touching other people, regardless of purpose. Even with explicit instructions, it... seems inappropriate of him to lay hand (or paw) on anyone in any way. So he hesitates, struggling to shift barriers both instinctive and conceptual before finally putting his claws around her waist--if she waits long enough, anyway.
If not, yelling at him will certainly get him there.
Either way, he's holding her more by his padded digits than with the full grasp of his paws. It's a weirdly ginger way to do it, even if his grip is firm. But Taako's light and Allura is strong--and Foster is, if nothing else, a nine foot tall centaur with three-inch-claws, so it's not like she's gonna slip out of his hold.
