the tenth trial?

[hot_mess_express]

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.]

Why, thank you.

[this smile is maybe tinged with a LITTLE amusement at her reaction]

[voreaciously]

You do not have to thank me.

[...pauses a little, but]

I remembered that I have a sister.

[voreaciously]

Older or younger?

[acts_her_age]

Older. About Randy's age, probably. I only called her "neechan," so I don't even remember her name.

[voreaciously]

You must have been close.

[nods]

Remembering people from home is something of a mixed blessing, here.

[voreaciously]

That is true.

[She considers Coral.]

Are there options you do not wish to do?
