The Sixth Trial

[hot_mess_express]

Who: unfortunate (?) souls
When: Day 15, afternoon
Where: some shady tent

Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth.

[Oh boy it's Trial time guys!!

That is to say there's the usual slight shake of the train, and outside a trial area appears! This time it's a highly decorated cloth tent, reminiscent of a fortune teller's stall, and the voice calling the heroes forth is a deep, aged and manly one. A warm light peeks out from behind the curtained entrance, welcoming you inside.

Those who go in, by their own will or compulsion, will find themselves in what seems to be a theatre lobby. There's a pretty, golden fountain with bench seating around it and lovely flickering oil lamps on the brocade walls.

For a little while, you're left to mingle.]

You probably should.

[ SIGHING. ]

But it's not like that was the end. Things were falling into place without the bloodshed I had believed to be necessary.

[howlsitgoin]

...How so?

[cawnflict]

I'm not doing all your work for you.

[ licking his thumb and now he's using it to smooth out a fruit tuft of fur that's been staring him in the eye. it's a good distraction. ]

Why are you believing me, anyway? I lied to you.

[howlsitgoin]

Because it also felt familiar when I kissed you.

[take THAT honesty to the face, you dumb bird]

[cawnflict]

[ you little shit. ]

Maybe to you! It was a lot different than how you tasted the last ti... me.

[ ah.


he's realising the dam kind of broke there.

ah..... oh. ]

[howlsitgoin]

[CAUGHT YOU RED-HANDED YOU CRIMINAL]

Oh, so we did make up!

[cawnflict]

[ tsking. ]

I still hate them. It's not like everything is immediately perfect. But you wanted to get along and I was open to it, even when you puked all over my home.

[howlsitgoin]

...Did I really...

[cawnflict]

Yes! And then you kissed me, promised a better one later, said some embarrassing things, fell asleep and then forgot everything!

[ he's surprising himself with that. he's had it bottled up for awhile. ]

[howlsitgoin]

Wh-- Then that was right before here?!

[cawnflict]

That's right. It's not your fault, but I was very annoyed at you regardless.

[ he is expressly bitter because of it, thanks. ]

[howlsitgoin]

Well I'll work on remembering now.

[Instead of. Putting it off.]

[cawnflict]

Don't get mad at me if you remember something from a long time ago instead of your confession.

[howlsitgoin]

I'll get mad if it's you doing something I should be mad about.

[cawnflict]

[ pinches his ear!!! ]

I've been waiting patiently for you to remember any of this. Give me a break.

[howlsitgoin]

No way. You seem like the kind of guy who needs to be picked on.

[cawnflict]

After forgetting me like that, you're being very cruel.

[ he already misses the nice wolfman from two weeks ago!! ]

[howlsitgoin]

Pretty sure I'm just being myself, who you apparently like.

[cawnflict]

Right now I think you're a pain in the ass.

[howlsitgoin]

Well you're a liar and I guess a criminal, so you can't complain.

[cawnflict]

... you were cuter the last two weeks. Go back to that.

[howlsitgoin]

Too late.

[fluffs CB's hair tho]

[cawnflict]

[ he's wrinkling his nose. ]

Now what are you going to do?

[howlsitgoin]

[pinches that nose]

I'm going to take a shower. You should too.

[cawnflict]

[ DON'T TELL HIM WHAT TO DO!!!!! AND STOP PICKING ON HIM!!!! ]

Oh good, you can leave me be then.
