The Ninth Trial
Who: everyone
When: Day 18, starting just after dawn
Where: The Hermit's Tent, and all around
[This morning as the sun begins to pour through the train's windows, there's the tremor that signals a Trial.]
Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth. Or something like that!
[It's the same older man's voice from the sixth trial, and outside is the same fortune teller's stall. Today the front flap is lifted to show a normal interior -- there's a wooden table, carved with geometric patterns and painted in bright colours, lit by teal-coloured carved candles.
At the table sits a man of indeterminate age, somewhere between 30 and 60. He's wearing what appear to be monk's robes, teal with patterned trimming. In front of him is a crystal ball and a stack of bingo cards, along with a stand-up sign bearing the rules of this Trial.
Across the top in large font, it says:
Icebreaker Bingo
Good luck and have fun!]

[ That'd be inconvenient. ]
You'd probably get flustered before Lucien, so not him either.
no subject
[She's considering this.]
...I don't know if Eliza gets flustered.

[She's met him but they got too snooty and never bothered to introduce themselves.]

Well, I think I've seen him around. If you think this would work on him, then...

So, lead the way.
no subject
[ Not that he plans on attaching to anyone but let's not address that. ]
It's good to know who you're going to be spending a lot of time with, after all.
no subject
[A pause.] Oh! I forgot my teammates.
[THEY'RE JUST ALL VERY QUIET...]

[A long pause.]
And Ciabatta would get revenge and I live in the same car as him, so, no.

[Because he does not, Naeva.]

[POINTING.]
no subject
That's the guy, huh? I've seen him around.

...But then, it's the same for anyone else, so it's not like we have it worse.

[She knows Lucien has at least three. But, hmm.]
Curious. I wonder why memory tokens are cheaper? I suppose memories must be easier to restore...
