[Den]

One I am freed, I thank everyone who helped me escape the corn, and look to see what my path options are.

@mdom
At the beginning you still wonder whether the corn stalks are playing tricks on you, but the longer you walk without interruption, the more you start to believe you're on the right track this time. After a while the path leads you to the left, then around a corner and back to the right. Once more you continue straight ahead, and then the path leads you left again. You stumble across the path and try your best to remember where you are. After a while you reach a junction.

Continue straight, or go right?




@Merskelly
Who needs maths anyway? You bet your old statistics textbook this teacher's students will love yet another break from calculus and algibberish. Den on the other side could really need some help. Because even though the minions work very hard to untangle the leaves, they're small and not very strong. So you gesture them to move aside and tug at the corn stalks. After a few seconds you notice yet another hand grabbing the stalk. You glance sideways and notice KittyBeary. Together you manage to free Den after a short while.

@DreadedMartian
Indeed you find one of your worst nightmares: a middle aged maths teacher! Thankfully however he is tied to a corn stalk and so doesn't pose much of a threat. You also meet Merskelly Metalien and KittyBeary here, who are almost finished wrestling with another corn stalk. On second glance you notice Den apparently was tied to another stalk. Who on earth did such a thing?




@KittyBeary
Even after pondering for a while you can't find a logical reason why you should waste your time on freeing a maths teacher you don't even know. For all you know he might be a demon in disguise. Or worse: an actual maths teacher! Therefore you step forward and help to free Den instead. With the combined efforts of Merskelly Metalien and eleven candy corn minions you finally manage to untangle the stalks and leaves that kept Den in place.

@bluebird
The maze certainly tries its best to confuse you, but you vaguely recall the entrance must be somewhere to your left. So you murmur "left, left, left" like a mantra and head that way once you reach the junction. You walk on and reach the second one from where it's only a step or two to the entrance. Looking to the right sends shivers down your spine, even though you can't really explain why. Maybe your subconscious is trying to warn you about unspeakable horrors. Looking to the left you see the entrance. This feels much safer.

Go left, or go right?




@Den
Thank heavens for good friends and loyal minions! You're happy to be free once again. The math teacher - still tied up - doesn't seem so polite anymore. His patience clearly wears thin, seeing as no one appears interested to help him. Right now he reminds you of the worst teacher you ever had in school. No way you're letting that guy roam free...

Honestly no idea where I am;;;

[Death by Mirrors]

You're in a corn maze.

[mdom]

THAT WAS SO BAD >:UU

I'll eat the corn leaves with my TEETH after that

[Death by Mirrors]

Funny you mention eating while I'm already writing the next chapter... ^^

[Death by Mirrors]

@everyone

The earth starts to tremble while the math teacher spews some insults no respectable teacher should ever use at the nearby people. However before they get a chance to react at the man's growing rage, a stalk bends forward and gags him with a cob of corn. His eyes widen in panic as the other stalks clutch tighter to his body, slowly dragging him deeper into the maze.

By now you can barely keep your balance. Yet it doesn't feel like a regular earthquake, more like a rhythmic motion. If it wasn't so absurd, you'd even think the corn maze was... chewing?

Ahahaha! Not a sentient being, right!? No way it could...

...no way...

...

Was that a BURP???


All of a sudden the mud calms down again. The corn stalks that captured the teacher spew out a single shoe. Did the maze really...? Den, KittyBeary, Merskelly Metalien and DreadedMartian decide they better don't risk turning into dessert. So they run back to the entrance as fast as they can. (in case you don't remember, from here you may proceed straight or left)

The maze grants everyone inside 20 tea lights. You are not sure if that's a thank you for the meal, or a sinister scheme to roast you over an open fire. Still, tea lights.

@Death by Mirrors: I will go right.

[Death by Mirrors]

@mdom
Straight seemed a great choice before, and so that's the direction you decide to keep. After all you haven't run into any monsters or unpleasant surprises in a while - there merely was this weird earthquake a few minutes ago which made a couple of tea lights fall out of the stalks. Probably caused by someone else setting off a trap. Who knows. Two or three meters later you arrive at yet another forking path.

Continue straight, or go left?




@Major
You go right, and then left, and then around a few corners. On your way you find yet another piece of candy corn. Alas just like the first one this doesn't give you superpowers either. Then you reach the kid spawn point. However since no kid is available at the moment, you discover a lost puppy in a ghost costume.

Take the puppy back to the entrance, or mock its costume?

[mdom]

Continue straight

gonna go head on

[Death by Mirrors]

@mdom
You chew a few more corn leaves and don't allow yourself to get distracted. But you stop right in your track when you hear a piercing scream in front of you. No one comes running for the exit however. Is that a good sign or a bad one? Grabbing yet another corn stalk for safety and a snack, you only feel air. Oh, apparently there's another path to your left right.

Continue straight, or go left right?

[mdom]

Try a left this time


goddamn ghosts!!!

[Death by Mirrors]

Gah, sorry! Why on earth did I type left here? Right. A path to the right. *enters the maze with a giant eraser and a hypnotizing pendulum for mdom* You feel tired. You saw nothing.
