As the third dates were started you were told that this date would be much different than the ones you've experienced so far and they would take place in a location other than the pods. No real hints were given other than considering sensible shoes and maybe not going in your pjs.
Before this date Gemini Matteson received a note:
A date had been set up for you today with Hugh Pennington. Do you accept?
Yes OR No
Please circle your option

Instead of being taken to the pods you are lead to a completely new part of the studio and a door you've never seen before. The door is opened for you and you step inside to a completely blacked out room save for one blue light that allows you to see the dimensions of the room. You step inside an approximate 6ft by 6ft space and you see a path ahead of you. As the door closes behind you, the light goes out, completely blinding you.
A recorded voice in an almost robotic tone plays overhead.
"Welcome to the blind maze. You may not be able to see but you can feel your way through. To get a visual, the maze is a square. You and your date are on the upper two corners of the square and the exit is at the bottom in the center. You must first find each other and then find the exit. You will be able to hear each other. Best of luck."
A small ding was heard that signified the beginning of the maze.
As you head down the path that you saw before the room went dark you eventually feel your way to your first turn. Do you go LEFT or RIGHT?
GUIDELINES:
- The maze is dark enough that you can't even see your hand in front of your face. You'll have to use feel to guide you through the maze.
- I will keep on top of these dates to guide you and tell you if you chose correctly. (Post order: Person A, Person B, Me. Person A and Person B can switch if you would like to. So if GIRL is A and BOY is B. Then it could go A, B, Me, B, A, Me if you want to)
- To make it easier for me so I don't have to read every single post please put the choice you make AT THE TOP of your post IN CAPS so I can see it easily!
- You may talk and chat while you try to move through the maze.
- Once you find each other you MAY touch, hug, etc one another! Yay! Due to this, you will also be able to describe certain physical descriptions of yourself. Remember that you can't SEE each other, only feel. Things you can describe if hands find their way there are for example: height (it'll just be easiest to say your specific height so you know who is taller haha), facial hair, length of hair, bony body or beer gut? (lol), texture of skin (soft, hairy, oily, acne prone), smell (sweaty? perfume?). You should not describe things like the color of your skin, eyes, hair, or anything else that can only be seen.
- Also each maze is predetermined and different from every other maze so no one can cheat and know the answers from previous dates ^.^
- There is no word count or post number restriction for this thread as it will be determined by how many wrong turns you make.
OTHER NOTES:
- I know there are people getting close to proposals. Please do NOT propose during this date. You may do so at any time after this date.
- When proposals DO happen please let me know so I can set up your reveal thread!
- HOWEVER, there is currently no rush! This is only day 3 remember and there are approximately 10 days (ic) before you'll run out of time. (I do not have a specific end date for stage 1 in mind yet, I'm playing it by ear based on how everyone is doing, but there will be a limit at some point)
- After this date it will be up to YOU to start further dates. Further details will be provided in a PM as we get close to the end of this date.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!

RIGHT
"Gem!?" Penn called out with a smile in his voice. "Are you ready for this?" He asked. "I still can't believe they are doing this!" He said, moving forward and deciding to turn right. "I haven't been somewhere this dark in years."

LEFT
"Penn!" She called back, joy in her tone. "I don't know how I feel about this. But...I can't wait to find you. Do you have any insight on the best way to go about it?"

LEFT
"It's so good to hear your voice." Penn said happily. "I found it best to keep one hand on the wall at all times so you can easily feel the turns." He told her.
"And I'm really excited to find you too. Hang in there. You got this." He said encouragingly.

LEFT
"O-okay!" She said after he gave his advice. "Penn...I don't like the dark." Her tone communicated the shame she felt in admitting that.

LEFT
"Hey, that's okay." Penn said soothingly. "There is nothing wrong with that. Just remember that it's just you and me here, just us and a bunch of walls. And if you feel like you can't do it then just stay where you are and I'll come and find you, okay?" He told her gently as he took a left turn.

STOP
Gemini hit the dead end, and as she heard Penn's words, she sank to the floor.
"Okay." Her voice was higher in pitch, clearly frightened. "I'm stopping. I can't keep walking forward. I--I'm sorry!" She sounded on the verge of tears.

Correct to RIGHT
"Hey, hey, it's okay. Don't be sorry." He assured her. "I'm coming okay." He casually turned around when he hit the dead end, not telling her of his wrong turn.
He got back to the turn and went the other way.
"Let's just talk okay." He said soothingly. "Get your mind off of it. Tell me about your favorite childhood memory." He suggested.

REMAIN STOPPED
Gem's voice was muffled. "Uhm...that's a hard one. My childhood was...not typical. I guess...holding my baby brothers for the first time. They were real baby dolls, and I always loved baby dolls."

RIGHT
"That must have been a memorable moment." He said with a smile in his voice. "What is the age difference between you?" He asked, to keep her talking as he made a right turn.

"Three and five years. I was only a child, too, but...I haven't forgotten. They changed my life."

RIGHT
Penn pushed on, making another right turn. "It must have been really influential for you to remember it so clearly." He said softly. "You mentioned you like to read. What have been some of your favorite books?" He asked.
