THE TWELFTH TRIAL

Who: Those who would love
Where: The Final Frontier
When: ?? (to be inserted into the timeline later)

Come hiiiiither, Heroes! Prove thy parenting skills!!

[ As usual there’s a tremor and then silence -- and then, as may be familiar to a few of you there appears a glittering void, points of light twinkling in the air. As you step into the space it expands, seeming to consume you, the Aurora, and all that exists in general. There’s a feeling of vertigo as this happens, frozen lights swirling all about you and once again it's all accompanied by obnoxious giggling.

When the darkness fades, you find yourself in an empty, featureless room with three doors, and on a pedestal in front of you: matching keys for each door. ]

Have you not?

[He says with a tone that makes it obvious he's not actually interested in anything else Rean has to say.]

Don't just dismiss me because you're done you jerk!

Forgive me. Perhaps I'm too accustomed to outranking you. Tell me, what is it you need to tell me so badly?

[Groaning. Why does no one take him seriouslyyyy]

I'm older than you by a few hundred years at least, you brat.

And yet you're the same as ever.

[He will not bow to your seniority!!]

At least say I've aged well.

Aging well would require gaining a graceful maturity. You've just stalled.

I haven't let go of my youthful spirit, that's all!

That's what dirty old men say when they act inappropriately at a party.

Now I'm a dirty old man??

An old man who still acts like a child. It's all the same. In the end, you'll always be my little brother's classmate to me.

Your little brother huh? What's he like?

Cuter than you.

[Well it's not like Rean has self esteem even after 500 years or so so it just seems natural that that would be the case.]

Haha I bet. I'm guessing you being good with kids is from having a little brother?

Probably. We've a ten year gap in age, so I had some hand in bringing him up.

[He is genuinely so much happier to talk about Jusis. Rufus is a very proud big brother.]

Of course much of his success in life has nothing to do with anyone but him. Jusis is a strong, intelligent, & resourceful young man with a driving sense of justice and duty. He's an example to his peers.

You sound just like a doting parent.

Someone needs to.

[Hi my family is Troubled.]

...Do your parents have impossible standards or something?

[I mean just looking at Rufus that's definitely either a standard no one can measure up to or Rufus was driven to be this perfect and well. Considering the conversation he'd guess the latter. ]

Haha.

[Oh boy. He did this to himself but.]

Our father is a selfish, cruel, & arrogant noble, and my mother wanted nothing to do with the result of his affair with a commoner.

Oh.... yikes.

....But you still love him a lot huh? He's lucky then.

So he tells me.

[bleeeeeeeh these feelings]

Regardless, he's an exemplary person and you were close to him. It's a shame, really. He was here, but left just before you arrived.

...Is he the guy from the empty cabin Crow told me to ask you about?

Crow did? Why?

He just looked really upset about it when he was showing me around but wouldn't really say anything.

Ah, well. He doesn't remember it much yet as far as I'm aware, but Crow was also a part of your class. I'd say the three of you were all quite close.
