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 Speyeria Thatcher received a note:
A date had been set up for you today with Percy West. 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!

"Oh my," came Speyeria's concerned voice. She felt along the walls of the maze walking softly, but listening for footsteps as well.
"Are you afraid of the dark at all? Claustrophobic?" She called to him.

RIGHT
"Hey Speyeria!" Percy called, "I'll admit, it's a little spooky or maybe I just have general paranoia of uncharted places, but I'm not freaked or anything," he said lightly, "Are you handling the dark ok?" he asked as he put his hand on the wall and followed it right. |

"I'm fine. It just surprised me. I'm sorry we didn't get to talk much before, but this is definitely a good time to. Then I can tell if I'm getting any closer."
"How have you been holding up? Anyone tickle your fancy? It's okay, I'm not a jealous person."
There was tapping as she walked the wall, as if using it to help her.

"Honestly I'm not sure, everyone's so nice and I've always been a take it slow type of dude," Percy said, "On day one I saw someone declare love and I'm just awestruck that's even possible and it makes super nervous," he said with a shy laugh. He started to tap the wall too, absentmindedly and matching the echo of her beat.
"Ummm River wants to be just friends... I think her heart is with someone else so I'm actually really happy for her and I'm talking to you and I'm talking to Cleo next" Percy said honestly, "What about you? Anyone tickle your fancy? I mean I can't possibly be jealous, we're all dating each other." |

"I can't say. I've liked so many, but I agree with needing more than a first date to decide. I like that we've got another chance to speak to each other now. I know some of the women were gushing, but I honestly wasn't paying attention."
"Where did you get those bonbons you gave me? They were adorable."

TURN AROUND, RIGHT
"Oh were they good? I actually have no idea," Percy admitted with a laugh, "I kinda just tried to articulate to one of the producers what I was looking for and she pulled up a picture and I was like "Oh yeah that's perfect! Send her those!" you know because we're like... in a fishbowl here."
"You know, I really wonder if you and me are the only ones who haven't seen fireworks popping out of thin air," Percy said. "Like last night at least half the guys had at least a top two, there were like 3 of us that didn't I think. I'm really glad I'm not totally alone in taking things slow and really getting to know you."
"But also I wanna say, I'd really like to hold your hand if you let me, and we're not in my kitchen but I'd still dance with you." |

"I have most of them left. I'm making them last," she replied. "I think it would be perfectly fine if you held my hand, if you don't mind if I give you a hug. You sound like someone who needs one."
"If we're dancing, where are we getting the music? or do we have to make something up?" she chuckled gently.

"A hug would be awesome," Percy said breaking into a smile. "I like to think I'm great at them, I had a lot of practice with a big family and well even more practice with all the kitties. I think it would be really nice to hug a person again though," he said with a laugh.
"Ooo ummm hmmm we can try to sing?" Percy suggested with a laugh. "It'll be like karaoke but acapella?" he tried as he followed the wall left.

MIDDLE
Speyeria made an "oof" sound, followed by a small thud. "Okay, I didn't judge that wall correctly, but then, it's kind of impossible to right now. As for singing, I can't carry a tune in a bucket. At least in my opinion," she chuckled.
"We can just pretend there's music, or just sit together for a little while. I'll just be happy for human contact. So how have you spent your free time?"

MIDDLE
"I won't be mad if you laugh at me when I tell you that I'm too afraid to let go of the wall," Percy said, laughing at himself. "Both of those options sound good, though I'm willing to sing to you if you want me to. I ummm... I sing lullabies to my cats most nights... not that I want you to fall asleep on me."
"But yeah, I'd really love to hold you if we can get out of this maze." Percy said sweetly, "Ummm I'm not sure I can really tell the difference between free time and work time, I just like making music. I do like to go see live music, but at hole in the wall lounges not big concerts. I read when I have time, and being a single cat dad with special needs kitties is almost its own hobby. I try to experiment in the kitchen but I'm not great at it." |

"That's fine. I don't know why I let go and thought it would be fine. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
"I think it's really sweet that you sing to your cats. Have you thought about children one day? Being a cat dad is definitely a good step towards Parenthood."
