Avalon didn't know how to feel about all this bouncing. For one, it was kind of fun, and a pretty mindless activity, save for trying to capture the mushrooms. But on the other hand, she felt kind of stupid, her hair was falling out of its ponytail, and her legs were already getting a little tired. She only had one toadstool so far, though, so she knew she had to keep bouncing.
She leapt to the next toadstool, spotting a few mini toadstools floating above it. Bouncing a few times to get her balance - she knew now that she needed to let herself adjust to the mushroom before trying to grab anything - she looked around the room. At least everyone else looked just as silly. After another bounce, she snagged a purple mushroom. YES! She then set her eyes on a red one floating a little bit higher. Avalon used all of her strength to bounce up, but she just missed grabbing it. Well, there was no use wasting time.
So she set her sights on the next giant toadstool, ready to capture a little green mushroom hovering by it. Avalon tried to leap over to it, but overcompensated for the distance, landing on the far side of the mushroom. She wobbled a bit, trying to regain her footing. That was a close one. After another few bounces, she was able to reach for the green one. Three mushrooms captured! She wondered how her other housemates were doing. It would be nice to get those extra house points.
