Some students would find a note tacked to their door, summoning them to an exam.
Note tacked to room door Advancement ExamVenue: Classroom 13 Time: 10am - Frightday *Please be punctual; latecomers will not be allowed to participate. [OOC: This means that if you did not post in at least once within 48 hours from the time of summon, I have the right to remove you from this exam and put you in a solo exam/pass you over to someone else! Don't worry, it's not a permanent DQ from all exams, just this one! PS. The "time" stated there is just flavor text!] Professor Malcolm

Today, the students who had arrived in Classroom 13 for their exam would find themselves being ushered through a portal located near the back of the classroom... And out of a portal located in the middle of a square piece of land divided equally into four areas - a grassland, a rocky area with a volcano, a lake, and a mountainous region.
"Your task is simple," He explained, giving each student a bucket, a shovel with a long handle, a pair of green rubber boots, and a pair of matching rubber gloves, "You will have to scoop up minipet poo from around this enclosure. Scoop up as much as you can until you're too tired to continue... Oh, and unless you like being coated in minipet poo, please put the boots and gloves on." He was wearing a pair of rubber boots and rubber gloves himself.
Exam Mechanics
-> Your bucket starts off at 0%, your Energy Levels start off at 100%!
-> Before you reach 0% Energy Levels, you need to fill your bucket to at least 80% in order to pass this exam (if you are Y1->Y2).
-> For Y2->Y3, how well you do for this part will determine how difficult it is to pass the next part (boss battle) of your exam.
-> Once your bucket is 100% filled or Energy Levels is at 0%, you must return to Professor Malcolm, who is waiting at the Portal.
Poo Scooping Mechanics
-> Roll 3d6:
--> The total value is the amount of poo scooped into the bucket.
--> Every time you roll 3d6, your Energy Level goes down by 5%; this means that you can only roll a maximum of 20 times before it goes to 0%!
Picking an Area: 1d4
ICly, imagine a square piece of land divided equally into four areas; you are currently standing in the middle!
1 : Grassland (Grass/Ground minipets, like 'Slime n snails' or Natural Scareon)
2 : Volcano (Firelands minipets)
3 : Lake (Water & Some Ground minipets)
4 : Mountainous Region (A lot of Pygmy Dragons & Carry Ons)
Edit/Paste this form at the bottom of your every post!
[color=orange][b]Everyday I'm Shoveling![/b][/color]
[b]Bucket %:[/b] 0/100
[b]Energy Level %:[/b] 100/100
When you are done, please ICly return to Professor Malcolm, and quote me at the bottom of your post. <3 This will make it easier for me to check your results!

The days that had passed between when Belladonna had signed up for her exam and when she had received the notice of said exam had been carefully tracked and marked on her calendar like an upcoming holiday. Frightday had been highlighted with three separate shades of pink marker, contained far too many exclamation marks and had even been doused with black glitter. 10AM was nothing to the witch, as she naturally rose early so it was no surprise that she was the first to arrive.
Unable to contain her excitement, Belladonna at least had tempered her glee from manifesting fully in her clothing. Today she wore the only pair of pants she owned, which were still fluffy bloomer-like things, paired with flat boots and a somewhat normal, if slightly bright pink shirt. She'd even gone so far as to done a pair of fingerless black gloves, since she still remembered the dangerous journey from her previous exam.
And since the witch had yet to really interact with her examiner, it felt prudent for her to shout a chipper, "Thank you for administering this exam!" as she happily, and with a great flourish, jumped through the portal.
When she burst through on the other side, things seemed fairly normal. Even the hand out of gloves, boots, bucket and shovel did not seem overly worrying. But the unfortunate words still passed Malcolm's mouth and effectively halted any trace of happiness from the witch. With a frightened expression she clutched the items to her, not sure whether to make high pitched noises of worry or to just despair.
This wasn't dignified! This wasn't ladylike! This was menial, hard labor!!
Belladonna did mumble a tiny squeak of mingled fear and derision before she hastily pulled the boots on over her current ones and tugged the gloves on.
This was not the reality she wanted.
Still, the grassland looked... Fairly... Safe... Well, as safe as a feces laden land could be. With a heavy sigh and a quick sweep of her hair up into a high ponytail, Belladonna trudged on over to the grassland.
Belladonna has chosen Area 1, the Grasslands!

Most ghouls Taima's age got excited about boils, or boil bands, or makeup or gossip or whatever it was teenage ghouls were into these days. Taima, on the other hand, got excited about her upcoming exam. She had been waiting for this moment since she'd applied for advancement, and when she found the note stuck to her door, she had screeched so loudly that other monsters had poked their heads out of their rooms to see what all the fuss was about.
Taima arrived at the designated classroom an hour early, wired on caffeine after spending all night studying. This was the moment she had been studying constantly for months for; she was ready to kick the crap out of any test and professor here could give. True or false? Not a problem. Multiple choice? She had brought three pencils. Essay? Bring it on.
She was, therefore, understandably dismayed when the professor led her not to a desk, but to a portal at the back of the room. It led to somewhere Taima had never been before. It wasn't the classroom that Taima had hoped for, but...maybe it was a practical exam? Taima wasn't as well-versed in practice as she was in theory, but she was confident she could pull off whatever whatever the exam required. She didn't start losing hope until the professor pulled out a pair of gloves and boots and a shovel and bucket. It vanished completely as the professor laid out the objective, and Taima wilted on the spot, her shoulders slumping and wings drooping in uncharacteristic defeat.
This was her exam? This was what she had spent days, weeks, months studying for? Had lost sleep for? Had drunk an ocean of coffee for? All of the facts and figures she had carefully memorized, all of the time spent cooped up in her dorm or a classroom or the library--all worth about as much as the poop she'd have to scoop up if she wanted to advance. Dejected and dispirited, she pulled on the boots and gloves, took the bucket and shovel, and trudged off in the direction of the mountains she saw in one quadrant of the area.

On top of having to scoop the poop, she also smelled it as it filled the bucket. It only got progressively worse the fuller the bucket got. Finally, Taima deemed it "full enough"--it wasn't full all the way to the top, but it was a full as Taima was going to get it. She glided back to the starting point, landing in front of the professor. "I'm done," she said, her tone flat as she dropped the bucket and the shovel at his feet. She was angry, she was disappointed, she was tired, and she really wanted a shower. Most of all, she was done with this entire ridiculous situation.
