Hopefully, the more extra credit they did, the easier the directions got to compensate for the time spent on solving them. But did this one they just did count as extra credit or a normal part of the test? They had to solve it to get the directions, but the voice sort of implied they went above and beyond with the sibling crap, so- he was still overthinking this. He and Eris were both reasonably intelligent, they could probably get away with running on action rather than meticulous analysis. [color=8585ad]"Can't believe I'm letting you talk me into this- Alright, fine, we'll do the next test. But only because I don't wanna accidentally walk into whatever the fuck Other-Eric looks like he's shitting his pants over,"[/color] Max muttered as he started after the clones, yanking Eris along with a magical tug. He wasn't sure if their expressions were meant to be a warning about taking the easy way out, a hint that the next test was going to involve them getting hunted by some monster, or if the illusionist just felt like fucking with them. [color=8585ad]"How long do you think they spent setting this up?"[/color] The mage pondered aloud, hoping to set the tone of the invevitable small talk to something other than Eris prying into his life. Plus, thinking about the backbreaking labor someone had to do to put them through this torment brought him a sick kind of pleasure. [color=8585ad]"Rigging a whole forest with individualized enchantments had to have taken forever. Unless this is all some weird shared fever dream they cooked up with mind magic, in which case I better not wake up with piss in my pants."[/color] Stars forbid he had to take a shit out here, that was going to be awkward regardless of it being real or hallucinatory.
