The Eighth Trial
Who: Heroes
When: Day 17, morning
Where:the party zone The Fairy Circle
Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth.
Just like always, the train shudders in response to some foreign power. You’ve been here before, haven’t you? You know what will happen when you venture out of the train and into the dark forest beyond in search of some old house, or a tower, or whatever fresh nonsense awaits you.
But there’s no inexplicable new castle or what-have-you. Instead the air outside the train is filled with glittering bubbles floating lazily above what appears to be a collection of large white mushrooms grown in a circle.
Obviously there is no door, and touching any of the bubbles will simply cause them to burst. Should you step into the circle, however….
Foolish heroes, destined to be swallowed by the encroaching malice… can your hearts truly withstand the nightmare that is reality?
Darkness overtakes you.
When you wake up the first thing you may notice is this game has a soundtrack. The music appears to have no discernible source and fills the entire room. ... and what a room it is.
It appears you’ve been transported to some kind of… children’s… birthday party?
At the far end of the room is a large table with a sign above it reading HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It’s a pretty impressive set up with a variety of goodies including noise makers, party hats, disposable plates and cups, and enough sugar to fuel a whole room full of grade schoolers
The biggest and arguably most important party refreshment sits right in the middle of the table, however; a giant bowl of fruit punch. Don’t worry children it’s non-alcoholic. It's also not suspicious at all.
For now, don't worry! Mingle! Eat food! Don't think about all the bad things going on right now!! And don't forget to read the rules near the punch bowl.

Well, it can wait. What combat abilities do you normally have?
no subject
[Wait--]
Beyond that, I have combat training in hand-to-hand combat, staves, spears, swords, knives and whips. I largely prefer hand-to-hand, but it's important to be adaptable. Furthermore, my full shapeshifting capabilities give me natural advantages to barehanded combat.
[JESUS.]

[ Though he doesn't sound threatened. ]
Haha, I'd love to see you in action someday, though!
no subject
[No less ominous, Naeva.]
Well, I have some of it back...and there are those geckos. We should probably bring backup, in case I'm worse at this than I expect?
[She's practical, if nothing else.]
no subject
[ Congratulations, Naeva, you're the party leader. ]
no subject
[Considering this.]
...Lucien or 80H, I'd say. Both, if they'd agree to it. It appears those without memories retain their skills, so I can vouch for the former, and miss 80H appears quite powerful herself.
[Aw, she likes her!]

[Murder double-date quest: accepted!]
...It's hard to think of more questions. What's your thoughts on the team uniforms?
no subject
no subject
[...so let's review. a thigh-length coat, waistcoat, cravat, blouse and leather pants, with knee-high HEELED BOOTS, is more practical, Naeva?]

I should buy something prettier, though. Sometimes it's nice, but the formalwear I'm used to might be intimidating.
no subject
Not bad..... What kind of formalwear are you used to?

[There's a certain Aesthetic she has to go for, here.]

Yeah, I do.
