The Seventh Trial

[hot_mess_express]

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?

Last round, I thought sacrificing the "king" for a bunch of fictional people was stupid. She said she could bleed out without dying, so we tried that instead. I told her if it didn't work, I'd pay her the sparks she'd be losing out on.

[bowtiedbones]

...you tried the whole gallon?

[bad_crowmance]

Is that how much blood a person has? Because if so, then yes.

[bowtiedbones]

Technically it's a quart or two more than a gallon, but... That is a lot of blood.

[bad_crowmance]

That's a lot of blood we had to avoid because apparently hers is toxic.

[bowtiedbones]

...um. You should all probably take showers.

[bad_crowmance]

Oh, I'm definitely going to be.

[bowtiedbones]

One day we're all going to end up using up all the hot water after a trial.

[bad_crowmance]

As long as it doesn't get used up until after I'm done with it.

[bowtiedbones]

I don't know, there's going to be competition for it.

[bad_crowmance]

I'm willing to fight them for it.

[bowtiedbones]

You might have to. I, for one, am going to wash my hair three times.

[bad_crowmance]

Three seems like a reasonable number.

[bowtiedbones]

It's a necessity!
