The Seventh Trial

Who: heroes (?)
When: Day 16, early morning
Where: the party zone

[Late in the night, the train jostles again. It feels like a Trial, but this time there's a strange, oppressive feeling in the air, and the call forth has changed. And yet it's a voice that's been heard before -- the resonant young man's voice that accompanied a military tent surrounded in white feathers.

What is a hero?

That tent is here now, imposing with its black flag and spatters of mud and blood, but the edges are tattered and the feathers strewn about are beginning to turn black. From them rises a smoke with a dark glow, sending a chill through anyone it touches.

As you enter the voice is raised again. Though still strong, it's no longer clear -- it sounds hoarse and a little distorted.]

What is your worth? What do you stand for? What... is the right thing to do?

What is Justice?

We um— they didn't sacrifice me either time, so they were whipped the first round and we were all burned with smoke the last round. And... the smoke made us grow feathers? I don't know why that part happened.

It's not... as bad as I feared the last round could go? But it was, um. Fucked up.

[probably the first time eliza has said FUCK in like three years, but this situation calls for it]

If you guys lived, it's definitely not as bad as I was worried about, but...

Is the game runner trying to turn you guys into him or something?

That's a really gross thought.
