The Thirteenth Trial

Who: trialgoers
When: Day 27 all day
Where: The Cat's Zone

[Once again the Trial time has come. Just like the Eleventh, it's the Cat's bar that's appeared in the clearing, and just like then, he's not here for formalities.]

Can you believe you've been dumped on me again already? Lame, I know. But come on in and let's get going.

[But he's not the only voice! The booming, cheerful tone of the Hermit can be heard as well.]

Right, right, come along! This one should be fun for you and us.

[Once you enter the bar, you'll find... it's just a bar. In fact, you are free to come and go from it. The inside, though, has been dolled up -- there are swaths of colourful fabric above the windows, jingly dangly crystal decorations hanging down over tables, and patterned tablecloths. It's the kind of cheesy fortuneteller decor you've seen in the Hermit's tent before!

Otherwise, though, there's nothing strange. There are plenty of tables and an open dancefloor. The cabinets behind the bar are sturdily locked, but there are pitchers of non-alcoholic punch on every table, and on the bar is a jar of paper slips and a laminated instructions sheet.

The name of this game is: Fortune and Lies.]

Oh, you haven't seen, I--can turn into a jackal.

[She considers this, and his question.

And then just--

Now there is a tiny, imperious jackal with a senna-colored collar.]


It is...less embarrassing this way.

[ .... ohmygod.

he crouches down... ]

If you really don't mind?
desirestruth: (This is not a paradise)

Like this is fine...it's not lewd this way.

[She's just embarrassed by what's about to happen to her dignity.]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked such a thing from you in the first place. [ r e s i s t ]

No, I meant it--it's. Only scandalous if I'm person-shaped when you do it.

[Putting paws on his knees so she can.

Lightly pat him with a paw.

Now jackal pets you.]

[She is so goddamn soft. It is absurd. It is like petting a cloud.

She holds still and very patiently. She likes pets but she doesn't wanna give Kashuu a conniption--]


It is alright. Being touched...feels differently, when I am fully in this form. Animals aren't so concerned with such things, after all.
