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!]

[ LOOK, SOMETIMES YOU JUST FLIRT ON AUTOPILOT. These things happen. ]

That'd probably do it.

[just learn how to be a repressed, reserved thot like the rest of us]

They are more common to climes with a true winter.

[ Nah, being a shameless thot is a lot more fun. ]

Then wherever I'm from must have a winter.

Possibly. Cultures do diffuse over wide differences, and bring their impractical clothing as well.

That makes sense.
