Notes & Warnings: Potential prompts below the cut! Feel free to add or make up your own, especially for workspaces. Plot information.

A. Mr. Jellicles
Everything at Mr. Jellicles seemed fine three minutes ago. Children were laughing. Good natured friends were playing table tennis and joking over it. Mr. Tukkus was in his office being his usual antisocial self.

But now everything is wrong. People have run from the building because the balls from the ball pit are running amok. Bowling pins are pinging off of objects and sliding out the door. It sounds like chaos in there, and it's a chaos that's spilling out onto the street in the form of colorful plastic carnage.

There are a few people that still need help getting out, so anyone tough enough to brave bouncy ball hell would be welcomed.

B. On the Street
The day starts normally enough. People are walking down the street. Everything is calm, apparently ordinary. But then there is the most distraught noise.

“Moooooooo?”

One of Quadratus’ native oxen is sliding down the street at a brisk speed. It's not really in control of the direction its headed, either. Someone that comes out to check on it slides off in another direction, and when they bump a newspaper stand they both go off two different ways. And to make things worse, what was a firm and sure ground a second ago is, without warning, slick as ice at the next step.

C. Quite an Ordeal
The spontaneously slippery ground make it very easy to accidentally run into a friend (or enemy, or acquaintance or total stranger). Literally run into them. Indoors, inside of businesses for patrons to use help from the people around you to make it back outside. Four legs are better than two, right? Or optionally they can hide under a fixed piece of furniture together until the mess passes.

People should be careful when they make it outside, as well. Things are getting messy, and the usually very sound hovercars are even having a problem- whatever they use for traction is gone in those frictionless areas, too.

D. Optional
Create your own.
