"SQUEEE!" squealed a pig as it came out of the mud.
"Usagi turned into a pig?" asked a disbelieving Makoto.
Ami made a show of inspecting the sign. "It says here 'Caution: Instant Jusenkyo Water used to make mud. Terrible tragic story of clumsy people who fall in mud turning into little piglets. Use hot water to turn back. If you are reading this you are wasting way too much time and you should look behind you.' Well, that's a curious message."
push!
Ami windmilled her arms briefly as a couple of kids pushed her towards the mud.
Splutch! "Squeee? SQUEEEE!"
Makoto looked at all the kids, their evil smiles, their magic markers and paintbrushes and other instruments of torture. She looked back at where Rei, Minako, and a pair of little pink piglets were racing down the trail as quickly as they could.
She leapt the mud puddle without touching it, quickly passing her fellow torture victims trainees.
A wall stood before her. She leapt, caught the edge, and hauled herself over.
A sign proclaimed the next section was "Traps next 20 feet. To bypass, crawl."

CLANG! CLANG!
"BWEEEEEEE!" said one of the pink pigs as its little sweatsuit became a cage.
"Buqi," simply stated the other one, now wishing she'd thought to bring a book as she had similarly been caged.
CLANG! went Minako's resistance suit as she tried to go around the wall and joined her currently porcine friends in being caged.
"If I'd known that was going to happen," said Minako, "I'd have worn more underneath."
Rei passed three of her friends, passed a cute little doggie, went to all fours and crawled the next few meters. When she reached a line scuffed in the dirt, she continued to crawl. When it looked like this section had an actual floor, she didn't look up and therefore missed the sign that called for a jump. She wondered what-
The 'floor' swung down.
