'Where are you?' he thought to himself, even as he quickly positioned himself to apparate out of this marker once he saw the signal.
.....and it was then, he realized that he couldn't move his feet. Jackson quickly looked down, as he tried raising one foot again. His feet were solidly stuck to the ground. "What the heck?" Jackson cursed, shaking his head. He was now facing his first obstacle, the Stickfast Hex!
Without a second moment of hesitation, Jackson drew his wand and pointed it at his feet. With an upwards flick of his wand, followed with a quick twirl at the end, he called out, "Skurge." A red beam of light shot out and hit his shoes. Jackson raised one foot and smiled when it lifted off the ground. The Stickfast Hex had been neutralized...and just in time too.
Up flashed the green light! Quickly taking a step back and turning on the spot, Jackson focused on his next destination and apparated over to where the marker was flashing green.
This marker too turned red upon successful apparition into its zone... but before this happens you're already under fire from the Death Eater practice dummy, an slew of hexes and jinxes - some more harmful than others - directed at you. Should any of them hit, you might find yourself blind, dancing, being attacked by bogies... or worse.
But be quick, you don't want to miss the next
marker!

The auror took a brief that focused look around the area to take in his surroundings, apparition hoops and practice dummies the most noticable in the landscape of the enchanted room.
A card appeared with the task at hand, explaining what they were to do. At least the minimum facts. There were usually surprises along the way. Apparition had already been labeled the name of the game on the notice that had advertised on the bulletin board and it hadn't changed.
He took a deep breath and made sure his wand was out and ready at his side before stepping in even more fully into the room. His footfall landing inside a red hoop that marked the start of the training. His eyes quickly scanned the training area for the first green hoop that was his target landing field. Locating it, Simon focused on where he was and where he wanted to be, following through with the task concentration of apparition.
Pull behind the navel
Uncertainty
Pop.
One auror in the middle of the green hoop. Easy enough...for now.
An easy task for an Auror, landing in the marked space with ease and finesse... but how might you handle the defensive cloud of dark smoke hindering the ability to see past your own nose?
And who's to say the next marker isn't already glowing
green?
