| [ The time has finally come. Hiro and Dipper had been planning this game for weeks and both boys were excited for a little friendly competition. The turn-out was surprising as well, but they were pretty pleased with themselves. ] Okay, listen up! [ Hiro’s waiting until everyone’s attention is on them. ] Name of the game is Capture the Flag! We’re gonna split up into two teams. Looks like we’ve got enough people it’ll be even. Dipper’s gonna explain the rules really quick and then get ready to log in. [ RULES. He can do rules. Dipper steps forward and clears his throat. ] Soooo...we’ve all done this before, right? But I guess in case you haven’t, this is how it works. Each team has a flag they are responsible for protecting. The object of the game is to steal the other team’s flag and take it back to your home base without being caught by a player on the opposing team. Being caught basically just means getting tagged, so...don’t try to tackle anyone unnecessarily. [ If it’s necessary, then go for it. ] Anyway, if you’re caught, you’ll be sent to the opposing team’s jail and you’ll have to wait for someone from your team to come tag you out to get free. There’s no time limit, so don’t rush into things. Be strategic. And...that’s about all there is to it, I guess. [ Let the games begin! ] PHASE I. The moment the group enters ViViD, they’ll find that they’re immediately split up into two teams.
It seems as though the game has decided for them who will be on whose team without any say from the captains. Both Team Hamada and Team Pines will find themselves in a bunker-type room filled with maps that seem to be half-complete and supplies such as water canteens, hunting knives, and rope. Just where are you going in pursuit of your flag? Good thing you brought your weapon into the game with you! No weapon? Don’t worry, you have a whole selection to choose from. Buddy up with somebody, grab some gear, and start strategizing how to break out and seek out the other team’s flag! PHASE II. Somewhere from beyond the walls of your bunker, a horn sounds. The game has begun! Your team emerges, ready and rearing to go, and you find yourself in...great, another jungle? But this one may seem a little familiar to characters who have been in the colony for awhile. The other team is out there, waiting for you. Will you go to protect your flag in the heart of an ancient temple? Or will you seek out the temple of the opposing team, and try to find their flag instead? Whatever path you choose, there are many hazards in your path in the jungle itself. You may find you need to cross a particularly rickety-looking bridge - while being chased by enemy NPCs that just want to capture and cook you. Or maybe you find it easier to swing from vine to vine across treacherous ravines or ford through rapidly-flowing rivers. Be careful where you step, too - there's no telling when your footing might give way to a pit of quicksand... The jungle is a dangerous place. But you all know that by now, right? PHASE III. Congratulations! You made it out of the jungle and right to the entrance of an ancient temple. What’s it doing out here? Who knows! But it’s obvious that this is the place you have to go to seek out the other team’s flag if the giant neon arrow is anything to go by. You and your teammates take a deep breath and burst into the temple— —only to find that the area is lit with bright studio lights? What the heck? Well okay, whatever. Let’s just focus on getting through this temple and find the flag. Surely this path will lead you straight to it! …or no wait. This path? What about this path? It looks like several of the paths will lead you around and around in circles. Certain paths will plunge you and your teammates into pure darkness. Some of the staircases have trick steps. Try not to fall! What’s behind this hidden wall? And don’t mind the creepy shadows of spiders crawling along the wall or the gust of air that blows right past your ear. It’s ViViD! This is all for fun, isn’t it? Oh, but do mind the arrows. If you aren’t careful, you may be hit with a dart and experience the following side-effects: -Spontaneous singing -Being frozen in place until someone frees you (good luck figuring out the secret behind this one. Looks like ViViD wants to emphasize team work!) -The urge to form a conga line with other players, enemy and team members alike -Re-enacting old kung fu movies At least the side-effects are temporary. After all of your hard work running through the temple though you’ll find that all paths eventually lead to a singular chamber brightly lit. This surely must be where the flags are. Be quick and steal the flag! And whatever you do, try not to get caught by the other team or you’ll have to sit it out in jail! PHASE IV. You've made it. You're in the final treasure room where the opposing team's flag is hidden. Maybe you've made it with another teammate. Maybe there is a guard about to enter the room and attempt to stop you. Either way, your trial isn't over yet. Because to unlock the chest holding the flag, you must first build...a Silver Money statue. It's only three pieces. How hard can it be, you think? Apparently, it's really freaking hard. If you're able to accomplish the incredible feat of assembling the monkey, the chest will unlock, unveiling your prize. Better claim it quick, though, because as soon as that chest opens... Well, you were all expecting this to happen at some point, weren't you? Better start running. PENALTY. Well, what a bummer. You got caught by the enemy and now you have to wait it out in jail until somebody can come rescue you. This isn’t so bad, right? ...no, it’s pretty bad. You’re in a holding cage and you’re on a platform surrounded by water. If that weren’t bad enough, it looks like this moat is filled with alligators and snakes! But ViViD doesn’t want you to worry. See? The snakes and gators are pretty harmless. What a relief. Oh well. Guess it’s a good time to get to know your team/cellmate a little better. You’ll both be in here for a loooong while. [ooc: Hello and welcome to Capture the Flag! Thank you to everyone who signed up! Ty and I randomized the teams ahead of time and we have also randomized the winner which will be….TEAM PINES! (No one is more surprised and proud than Dipper.) But how did Team Pines win? How did Team Hamada let their flag slip from their grasps? It is a mystery.jpg...let the games begin and go nuts with the prompts! Any questions, feel free to shoot either me or Ty a PM or hit up our plurks at |

Waddles? Waddles, where are you?
no subject
You didn't really bring him in here, with you? [ Would that even work? He's never tried to bring an animal into VIVID. ]
no subject
[But as Mabel continued to look for the pig, the more she gave a pout. While she tried to bring him into the game, she didn't exactly know what would happen. If he was with her in the ViViD, then he's gotta be around here somewhere!]
It's only fair when he's a Pines too!
no subject
[ And why isn't he at all surprised?
It's telling that he doesn't bother to argue much more than that - he knows he's going to inevitably help his sister look for her pig. He just hopes Waddles hasn't gotten far. Time is precious in Capture the Flag! ]
Okay, okay. Soooo I take it you want to go look for him, huh?
no subject
[But with such limited time, Mabel quicky looked back at the map and then back at Dipper! Suddenly, an idea just came to her!]
Or maybe yet, he's probably off looking for the flag right now! He's gotta, I don't see him anywhere around here!
no subject
[ Have your brother looking duly skeptical, Mabel. ]
no subject
You shouldn't unestimate Waddles, Dipper! He's a master genius and he totally knows what he's doing!
[Nevermind the loud noises coming from the background there]
no subject
[ ... ]
Wait, what's that sound?
no subject
That must be him! He's on his way to finding the flag! Quick, we must find him before he gets to it before we do!
[With that, haver her running in whatever direction the sound was coming from!]
no subject
[ Wouldn't it be a good thing if Waddles found it? But Dipper's more worried they're going to run into an unfriendly monster-type instead of the beloved pig, so he hurries after his sister. ]
Do you see him?
no subject
Nope but we'll just have to keep on following that sound! This will be the most daring game of catch-and-seek the flag ever!
[MABEL...!]
no subject
[ BUT HE WON'T LOSE HOPE. Team Pines has to pull out the victory. The Mystery Twins are back together again! ]
no subject
[Even if said mysterious noises in the background sounded like they were coming from everywhere!]
Do I need to start singing a certain song just to remind you?
no subject
[ He needs no help getting THAT SONG stuck in his head, thanks. ]
Seriously, what is that noise?
no subject
[Get ready, Dipper, because she was going to start singing until...!!]
Well, it's gotta be Waddles! I mean, what else can it be?
no subject
[ He's just saying. ]
no subject
[...Even if said noises were getting louder...!!]
