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?

[WHO BETTER TO TEST IT WITH THAN YOUR SELF-HATING TEAMMATE WHO JUST DIED!]

Yeah. Too far out gets dangerous, though. Stuff out there is pretty hostile.

[ Right I mean it's just the most logical choice all around, great way to forget you died too ]

—You know if it's hostile, we could punch that stuff instead of each other, right?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[crimeson]

I mean, yeah, if you wanna make sense about it. If we're fighting them, though, I'll be using my weapons.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[spectacularluck]

Maybe let's not go too far away, so we don't bite more than we can chew, but that'd be safer. I think we'd both prefer to avoid you dying a second time today.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[crimeson]

Definitely in agreement there.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[spectacularluck]

Doesn't feel right going out dressed like this, though.

Do we get clothes immediately if we buy them?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[crimeson]

Yep! We just pick 'em up in the lockers. That and those clothes should get replaced for free, since we never go under three basic outfits.

[ he's going on a spending spree today I guess because guess who's whipping out his Chain for another purchase ]

All right. There's a specific thing I wanna wear for this.

[ and a couple taps later— ]

Lockers first, then we go out. You get your weapons ready too.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[crimeson]

Already got 'em.

[this man does not appear to be carrying weapons but okay.]

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[spectacularluck]

I don't want to know where you're hiding them.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[crimeson]

[laughs and whips a giant fuckoff spear out of like, thin air? it's just here now.]

Nowhere weird?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[spectacularluck]

I'm going to assume it was deeply lodged in your boyfriend's ass.

[ yeah, he had to make that joke. And once they're at the lockers, he's gonna pull out his sweet, sweet new purchase, which is this costume. Totally showing it off too ]

I'm just saying, but apparently I have a fixation on spiders. Totally rolling with it, though.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[crimeson]

[grimaces]

Nope, pretty sure-- ["he'd kill me for that"

NVM, LESS FUNNY THAN NORMAL!!!]

-- I don't think he's into that.

[kinda. eyeballing the costume.]

That's... sure a thing, huh?
