[Well. You’re all in some kind of. State. A rather chagrined voice mutters on the wind;]

That isn’t quite how I envisioned it going…

[At any rate! There are new stars in the sky in ginger goldenrod, thyme apple and senna terracotta.

Well how are you all doing?]

[I'M JUST A BIG LIZARD I'M NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH THIS]

[if you, anyone, look remotely sober for half a second she's going to try and climb your leg, please get me off the ground]

[desirestruth]

[I am so glad my pants are leather.]

H-hello?

[bowtiedbones]

[scrambling all the way up to hide on her shoulder, wrapping her tail around Naeva's neck for extra security]

Hi!

[desirestruth]

Wh--Eliza?

[WHY ARE YOU NOW A LIZARD?]

[bowtiedbones]

Yes, hi!

[desirestruth]

Hi. Quick question: what the fuck?

[bowtiedbones]

I don't know, I think it's a penalty??

[desirestruth]

A what.

[SHE'S GONNA YEET A FUCKING VAMPIRE.]

[bowtiedbones]

There were some incorrect guesses.

[desirestruth]

Guesse--Eliza, I wasn't at the trial. What happened?

[bowtiedbones]

[sticks her face under Naeva's shirt collar, making herself very small. can't see anybody can't see me.]

We played with our own teams. We picked from a list of traits to describe ourselves. We got a set of items and tried to figure out which matched which of the other teams.

[desirestruth]

...And incorrect guesses did...something like this?

[She's alarmed--deeply so--for Senna. For Licorice. She knows Lucien wasn't at this game for...reasons.]

Not good.

[bowtiedbones]

I don't know. This didn't happen until the game ended. It— was fine until then? It was normal?

[awakenerd]

[Um??]

Hey there little guy?

[bowtiedbones]

[scuttling up onto his shoulders]

Girl, actually.

[awakenerd]

--! Eliza?

[bowtiedbones]

Hi!

[awakenerd]

You're looking, uh, small and green, today. What did I miss?

[bowtiedbones]

I don't know. The game ended, and then I was a lizard.

[awakenerd]

I... You know, looking around, I think you might have gotten lucky.

[bowtiedbones]

Maybe. This would be cool if um, everyone else wasn't unlucky.

[awakenerd]

What even happened for the trial?

[bowtiedbones]

Nothing happened. We picked some traits to describe our team, and then we picked items we thought matched the other teams. It was fine.

[awakenerd]

[Looks at everyone else??]

Eliza you're a lizard. Everyone else is--I mean?

[bowtiedbones]

I know, but that's all that happened. I didn't turn into a lizard until the end. It was just... normal. Completely normal.
