The Eleventh Trial

Who: everyone
When: Day 23, evening
Where: The Trial Zone

[Just as twilight darkens the clearing, you hear the train's customary shift, the sign of a Trial.

Outside in the clearing, a brick building has appeared. It's shabby, paint peeling from the heavy door, but the windows are full of neon signs advertising various brands of liquor. From inside you can hear the thumping of bass, and the faint sounds of a rowdy rock song.

A voice chimes in, lazy but amused.]

You all know what this is. I'm not "come hither"ing you. Just get in here.

But I wanted to.

But... don't....?

...Okay.

This trial was pretty low-key, but they can get... really really dangerous if you fuck around too much.

I've been told bad things can be asked of us.

Yeah. We've been cornered into life or death situations fairly often.

I heard they asked us to behead teammates once?

[He's way too chill about this.]

Yyyyes.

... Are you doing okay?

Oh yeah. I'm okay.

How about you? You look stressed.

[He's so chill man.]

You don't... seem okay.

The injury is only superficial.

Emotionally.

Oh. I guess those are a bit distant right now.

Yeahhh, that is alarming.

Sorry. I feel okay though.

Distantly okay? Shit, I didn't think there were gonna be effects like that in this trial...

Pretty much. He didn't seem bad or anything, I'm sure it'll wear off.

[Not that he could be fussed about it it he's not fussed about it.]

...All right. If you say you're okay, I believe you. But please be more careful.

I will.

[For Rean values of careful.]

...All right.

[reaches to headpat!!!!]

[Accepts!! But without much reaction sorry.]

I think it's better I screwed up now than later.

[nooo my embarrassed Rean... well this is cute too tbh]

The timing sure could've been worse, but I still don't have to like it.

I know. I do feel bad about worrying you.

[Just not very keenly right now.]

Yeah, I know. I can tell, even with you like this.

It was a valuable lesson but ultimately one I probably could have avoided. Oh well.

How're you doing?
