[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/K3w1wgX.png[/img][/center] All grown up, Alice returns to Winterland as a guide for dragons interested in touring the topsy-turvy land. Will you take a seat at the Mad Hatter's tea party or perhaps play a game of croquet? Join us for an adventure in Winterland and take home a badge and perhaps even a souvenir! Modeled after the Choose Your Own Adventure books, you get to choose your path through the story via thread links in each post. This is a light-hearted (and winter-themed) take on the key landmarks of Alice's original adventure. Once you reach an ending, you can post in the thread a picture of your dragon that took the tour and let us know which route you took! Then, play again for fun if you want to check out the other paths!

Ready?...

[b]The Beginning[/b] Glancing at the time and running slightly late, you hurry into a small tourism center located in the Southern Icefields. A friendly Tundra receptionist greets you. [center][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/79531/7953099_350.png?mtime=WoMiLQAChP8.png[/img][/center] "Hello there! Are you here for the tour? Just in time! Please wait over there," she says, pointing to an area under a sign marked "Icefield Tours." Under that, in small letters, it says, "a division of Icewarden Travel." Then, in even smaller letters, "a division of The Blanket Fort of Ends ™." And, barely visible, in the smallest letters of all, "a subsidiary of the Icewarden Corporation." You raise an eyebrow, but are quickly distracted by one of the brochures on a small table nearby. It's an exact copy of the one a courier dragon delivered to you and the reason you are here. A colorful picture of a top hat and a sparkly bottle adorn the cover. In the background, snowflakes are falling.

Minor cases of madness may occur.[/i][/center] Inside, the brochure features bright, enticing photos of Winterland attractions and contains information on how to book a tour, which is how you made your travel arrangements. Done browsing, you finally notice that you seem to be the only one waiting. Perhaps you'll be getting a private tour today...

A Skydancer appears out of nowhere. Surely that was just a trick - there must have been a door you didn't notice. [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=42527680&skin=0&apparel=21215,17879,21303,17910,6027,6035,10377,21295,400,472&xt=dressing.png[/img] "Hello, I'm Alice. I've been hired as a guide for your special journey to Winterland, since I spent some time there as a hatchling. Your trip will be full of adventure! Well, perhaps it will be light on adventure. It depends what route we take. I recommend you see but don't touch, and we'll be just fine." She pulls some paperwork and gear out of a bag. "First things first - I just need you to fill out this form before we go anywhere. There's also a scarf and some other items you may need. It can be cold and warm there so you need to dress warmly and lightly." Confused, you look at her and simply take the paperwork: [center]~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [/center] I HEREBY ASSUME ALL OF THE RISKS OF PARTICIPATING IN ANY/ALL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TOUR, including but not limited to, any risks that may arise from negligence or carelessness on the part of the dragons or entities being released... blah blah blah [i](It actually says important things here, but you start skimming and skip this section entirely.)[/i] I CERTIFY THAT I HAVE READ THIS DOCUMENT AND I FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENT. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND A CONTRACT AND I SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL. [center]~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [/center] You sign the document and Alice whisks it away. "Just a formality," she says, smiling. "Now then, which way are we going today - down the rabbit hole or through the looking glass?" Uncertain, you look to her for a recommendation. "Ah well, if this is your first time to Winterland, I do recommend down the rabbit hole. It's a bit of lighthearted fun. More opportunities for souvenirs. Less being devoured by angry beasts." You stare at her in alarm. "...oh no, it's quite alright. The Jabberwock and Bandersnatch and such are protected now. There's not [i]much[/i] risk. In any case, there's more opportunity to explore if you go down the rabbit hole, as the journey through the looking glass takes longer. So, what will it be? Down the rabbit hole or go through the looking glass? Choose carefully as this will determine the course of your adventure - there's no going back once you select." [i]Choose one:[/i] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2445025/1#post_33360365]Time to take a trip down the rabbit hole![/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2445025/1#post_33360367]Being potentially devoured by an angry beast sounds like a good time - to the looking glass![/url] [right]1[/right]

"Down the rabbit hole? Excellent choice!" says Alice. "Ok then, this is very important. It's a bit of a fall. Not really a controlled fall - just a fall. It seems like it takes quite a bit of time, but it doesn't. Alright then, here we go - wait, wait. I forgot. Best to make sure you understand this now: DO NOT EAT ANYTHING. Repeat after me: DO NOT EAT ANYTHING. If - and only if - I say you can eat something, then you can try it. But the consequences can be pretty problematic if you don't know what you're doing. Oh! The same goes for drinking." She narrows her eyes at you. "That isn't going to be a problem, is it? Now, come along, we need to head to the rabbit hole." Alice takes you outside and around back, then on a short hike to a locked gate and fenced in area. She produces a little golden key from her pack and lets the two of you into the enclosure. There's a giant, dark crevasse in the ice sheet. The Skydancer smiles at you, says, "This adventure is about the journey, not the destination!" and then jumps into the hole. You don't have much choice but to follow her. [i]falling[/i] .....f ..........a .................l .......................l ..............................i .....................................n ............................................g As you float down the hole, you notice cupboards and bookshelves; maps and pictures hung upon pegs; jars on the shelves.

You are at the end of a long, low hall lit up by a row of hanging lamps. Doors of various size line the hall. Alice is waiting for you near a three-legged glass table. "Alright then! You can explore these doors or take the route I originally took - through the (now frozen) Pool of Tears and the back way."

"Brave soul!" says Alice. "Very well. Our destination is through the Looking Glass. It's still a part of Winterland, but the creatures there have been known to be quite dangerous. The Icewarden generally keeps them locked away for their own good, but we still do warn dragons going on tour there to keep their eyes open."

She pulls out more paperwork. "You can attend a security briefing to receive more information or proceed straight to the room housing all the mirror portals. If you choose to waive the briefing, you need to sign this additional paperwork acknowledging the risks."


Choose one:

Take the safety briefing.

Go straight to the portal room.

"Some of the doors have to stay locked," says Alice, "due to what's behind them. But you are free to explore any of the open ones. That one behind the low curtain leads to a very beautiful garden. You can take a look - if you want to go there, we have a dragon-size door that will accommodate your current size a bit better." Curious, you peer through the small doorway leading to the garden. The frosty flowers and frozen fountains create the loveliest winter garden you've ever seen, at least the tiny portion of it that you can view from here. [center][item=ice crystal][item=winterbelle][/center] You open a few more doors, but the passages are dark and you aren't sure where they lead. [i]Choose one:[/i] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2445025/3#post_33360405]Pick a door at random and see where it goes.[/url] [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/2445025/2#post_33360383]Take the shortcut to the garden.[/url] [right]4[/right]

"Excellent - this way." Alice leads you past all the little doors and the table. You notice a little bottle on the table, but there isn't time to examine it more closely. Patches of the floor are a bit slippery, where ice had formed. "Oh, do be careful," says Alice, as she notices you about to lose your footing. "The Pool of Tears mostly dried up, but some of the little puddles froze instead." You nod, although you are perplexed. It's far too warm in here for ice not to melt. Isn't it? You don't have much time to think about it, though, as it's a fairly short walk for a full-sized dragon back to the area that had formerly been a shore but now was just another part of the hall. A small sign labels the area as "Caucus-race." There's also a sign beside it with a picture of camera - must be a potential photo stop on the tour. "Ah yes, a Caucus-race, just what we need to dry off," says Alice. You aren't wet, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to argue so early in the journey. Just then, some animals pop out, almost as if they've been waiting for you and Alice. [center][item=dodo][item=Frosted Pocketmouse][item=Pangolin Racer][item=Riptide Clipper][item=Paradise Zalis][/center] You look around - where did they come from? [i]How does everyone keep doing that?[/i] You decide they must have been behind one of the doors, standing by to make an entrance. How odd. Alice has been talking, but you missed the beginning of whatever she had to say due to the distraction: "-- so, will it be a race or do you just want to move on and meet some of the residents of Winterland?"
