The Evaluation [site event]

The mixture of apprehension and excitement in the air is electrifying... You already know why. Today's the school-wide evaluation! But there aren't any packets or quizzes laid out on any of the desks, only cushions and water bottles, and your usual teacher isn't standing at the head of the class.

It's gray and overcast outside, and as students begin to fill into the room, a light drizzle begins. It's beginning to look a lot like autumn these days...

The instructions are simple.

1. When the clock hits 8:20 AM, the school nurse will sing over the intercom. Due to her gift, every participating student will immediately be knocked out cold.
2. The moment you fall asleep, you will wake up in your own unique simulated 'danger zone.'
3. Every simulation is different to some extent. One student might have a burning forest while another might have a flooded
building. No two students will share a simulation.
4. Each simulation is designed specially with personality, powers, abilities, and personal limitations in mind.
5. You will enter the simulation with your weapon, if you own one. Your clothes may change depending on the environment you're placed in; for example, if you were to wind up in the Siberian taiga, you might wake up in a winter jacket, while you might be wearing a swimsuit if you were to end up in the middle of the ocean.
6. You may wake up in an odd, uncomfortable, or even dangerous position once the simulation begins. You might begin the simulation standing, sitting up, falling through the air, hanging upside down, or laying flat on your back. It'll depend on your situation.
7. As simulations are all unique to every individual student, it only makes sense that the dangers in each will be different as well. Some will contain supernatural obstacles, others will contain dangerous wildlife or enemies (human or not), others will be confronted with natural hazards such as falling rocks or sudden splits in the ground. You might even face personal manifested fears, such as giant spiders or evil clowns. The Mirage Master has complete omnipotent control over the simulation, which means the world and environment can be changed at whim.
8. The criteria for passing is simple, but different for each student. To put it simply, you'll have a goal. This might be as simple as escaping the 'danger zone' and making it to safety, or it might be destroying a certain amount of enemies, or rescuing a loved one, or diffusing a series of bombs and making it out alive.
9. "Dying," or receiving a serious crippling injury that prevents any further progress, will automatically end the simulation. The pain will be very real, but no harm will come to your actual physical body in the waking world. Once the evaluation begins, it will be extremely likely that you will forget that you're inside a simulation. Students may mutter to themselves or thrash around in their sleeping state, but this is normal and to be expected.
10. Using telepathy, each evaluation will be "recorded" and projected onto a screen in another room, which will then be recorded into a video format. The school will keep these private, of course, but they may be used in the future...

The clock strikes 8:15 AM, and an electronic bell rings throughout campus, signifying the beginning of first period. With all other classes cancelled, once you are dismissed, you will be free to spend the rest of the day however you wish. However, students will not be permitted to leave until the entire room is done with their evaluation, which may take several hours. Until then, you can quietly chat, read, or pass the time however you wish as long as you do not disturb or wake any "testing" students.

Are you almost ready to begin?
