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.]

[ Still looks unsure... ]

... all right.

[bowtiedbones]

We can do a side-hug too, if that's better? Extra-casual!

[spreads both her arms wide, his pick]

[malignstar]

[ He will do a normal hug, as side hug just feels awkward ]

[bowtiedbones]

[hugs!!]

There, now that wasn't so bad, was it?

[malignstar]

I guess neither of us exploded.

[bowtiedbones]

Of course not. I'm only strengthened by hugs!

[malignstar]

Now, there's a fact I didn't know about you.

[bowtiedbones]

Mark it down! 3 points: hugs make Eliza strong!

[malignstar]

It's very valuable information.

[bowtiedbones]

Hand-holding is also very good.

[wiggles her fingers at him]

[malignstar]

Now, you're just fishing.

[ But he will hold out his hand ]

[bowtiedbones]

[yaaaay takes his hand]

Yeah, but it worked.

[malignstar]

You know me, I can't say no to a pretty lady.

[bowtiedbones]

Charmer.

[malignstar]

I try. Though I have to say that Crow over there is pretty good competition on the charmer end.

[bowtiedbones]

I don't know if you want to reach the level of "called out in the rules" though.

[malignstar]

That's because I'm a gentleman charmer.

[bowtiedbones]

I see, I see! A classier kind of flirt.

[malignstar]

The classiest.

[bowtiedbones]

Want to try one the other point tasks, debonair?

[malignstar]

Which one did you have in mind?

[bowtiedbones]

How about learning something new?

[malignstar]

Sure, that sounds easy enough.

[bowtiedbones]

Did you know I have a brother? His name is Jonathan and he's older than me.

[malignstar]

I didn't know that. Is he a magical scientist too?
