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.]

So you are. I need not worry about your appetite then.

See, no worries.

I am always very calm and free from worries.

I guess that counts as a share.

Probably not. I shall offer an alternative. I am proficient in playing the flute.

Oh, that's kind of cool. How did you learn that?

My mother taught me, and I continued to practice throughout my life, receiving some formal training at an academy.

Do you like playing?

Um, hm, it does relax me.

Yeah, but do you enjoy it?

Er, yes, I do.

Maybe you could play something for everyone sometime.

For, um, everyone. Er, no thank you.

What about just for me?

[She looks a little shy, but nods.]

Um, that could be arranged. I have already performed for others.

I bet it would be really relaxing.

Well, it does relax me, sometimes. I have many ways of relaxing though.

I mean, it would be relaxing for the listener too. Music relaxes me sometimes.

Yes, I like hearing performances too.

Is there anything you would like to share?

Uhhh, I can heal with my blood?

Oh. That's, um, quite interesting, actually.

Yeah, it doesn't always work right though. I don't know what decides what makes it work and what doesn't.

Hmm. You have all of your powers, such as they are, then?

No idea. Since I don't remember what I had.
