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.]

[nods!! and then, oh, I've unflustered enough to remember the game; looking from a placard back to her]

--Oh. Eliza. I'm very grateful that you and I are on Thyme together. Your influence helps to make our team stronger.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh! Aw! My influence..? Thank you!

[grimpa]

Yes. You're positive but realistic and don't waste time being frozen by hypotheticals when decisions have to be made. All good qualities.

[bowtiedbones]

Okay okay okay, that's plenty!

[giddy and flustered OH NO COMPLIMENTS]

[grimpa]

[looks puzzled as if he wouldn't be just as flustered if someone was earnestly telling him their favorite things about him]

Very well.

[bowtiedbones]

[swings their hands ahhhh]

Thank you, though! That means a lot to me that you think well of me.
