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.]

As long as you are satisfied, Crow-san, that is what matters.

[ Hmm. He thinks maybe he likes it better when she's not this submissive. Time to tuck that thought away and not say it out loud. ]

Hmmm. So that makes "sharing something about yourselves" and "learning something new about someone" as the next ones on the list.

[hi crow, i'm dead.

No, but not for the first time, she has considered telling him. She does not know when, but she has, at some point, decided that she should tell him, that he should know.

She just...cannot. It would mean talking--thinking about Forest actively, more so than usual, and to do that in the privacy of her mind is one thing, but to bring another entity into that, who may react badly is entirely another.

She is just...tired and wary.

But she keeps this to herself, thinking all of it in the space of a moment. It's become less conscious thought and more instinct.]


I will attempt most anything at least once.

I am choosing to learn something new, which mandates telling me.

"I'm choosing to be difficult, Crow." Fine, fine. I picked up a copy of the Kamasutra. It has illustrations!

[ There, that's something she didn't know but probably suspected he'd be doing. ]

[ He looks clearly doubtful that it counts but fine, he'll take it. ]

Yep! I haven't gotten very far yet, but I'm looking forward to learning new things.

[ He's still holding his hand out. TAKE IT. ]

By "usually," I mean "you haven't yet but speaking in absolutes sounds like a bad idea."

You don't do this very often, do you?

[ As if he does. ]

I was not aware you were an expert on the subject of hand holding.
