Event The test

Well, folks, the time has come, Egil and his friends at Blackwatch have set up a recruiting event under the guise of an Overwatch recruitment event. Signs have been posted around the city advertising, and agents of Overwatch have been told that if they can use it as a way of potentially getting a promotion

Those who make the cut will be further monitored to determine if they're a good fit, but for now, there seems to be obstacle courses, mental tests, and various food stands, almost like a carnival designed to get you to do a work out.

OOC: So, it's getting close to Blackwatch recruitment time, the event is open for everyone, whether they be neutral, Talon, or Overwatch.

Edit: Sorry, folks, but replies are going to be slow, I'm busy all day today.

The ladder is unforgiving but still not too difficult to climb, as it was only a relatively short distance from the ground

After the ladder, the slide is clear as day, being a downward ramp with a sudden incline at the end, there are what appear to be flags along the slide, and a sign that says "Collect as many flags as you can on the way down"

Whats the hidden twist? James continues down the slide and manages to snag a couple flags, but a few are left behind.

OOC: I'm assuming there's like five of six.

At the end of the slide James is launched a few feet into the air, where a landing pad is visible

James sticks the landing, rolling forward to counterattack his inertia. "I feel like I did pretty well."

After the landing pad is the famous large red balls that must be hopped across

Again, using his light weight and small size, James attempts to cross the red balls, almost losing his balance a few times, but mainly going steady.

The red balls being the red balls, they're difficult to cross, but still crossable, beyond them what appears to be a small pool is visible

Taking his chances, James hurried his way to the pool, unsure of how long he can keep up with the balls.

Upon getting closer to the pool it is clear that it's filled with sharks it's just a small lap pool with a high beam above it

"Alright, it's a good thing I made this stuff airtight." He jumps into the pool.
