the tenth trial?

Who: everybody
When: Day 22, starting bright and early
Where: the jackal zone


[What was it...ah, yes. Come hither, Heroes, prove thy worth.

The familiar tremor of a trial comes with a voice that's probably familiar to a lot of train denizens. Entering the door to the trial reveals that somehow, yes, it is in fact Naeva who's done this.

The game room is a beautiful tea garden with elegant, victorian-style tea tables set out throughout. Naturally, the tables all have tea, a variety of snacks, and flower arrangements featuring the herbs from each team. The garden is also full of crystalline jonquil, though they can't seem to be picked up normally.

There are baskets set out for everyone who arrives, and a sign explaining the rules of the game. Across the top it reads Bonding Game.

Cardamom, you've made a huge mistake.]

[hmmm looking back over the list]

...Do you feel like you have anything to share about yourself that I wouldn't already know? Have you regained any more memories?

Just the three, but I earned some that I haven't had reviewed. Have you seen all of them?

I have the sparks to buy tokens for a few more. Perhaps after this trial.

[nods!]

We'll have to do our best. Would you like to see a memory as part of the trial, on that note? I don't have anything particularly interesting to share, but there shouldn't be anything upsetting either.

If you don't mind. I know they can be private.

[shakes his head]

I don't mind at all.
