The Sixteenth Trial

[advisories]

Who: trialgoers
When: Day 37, afternoon
Where: The Hermit's Tent

[With the usual jostle of the train, the Hermit’s tent appears in the clearing. His deep, cheerful voice rings out:]

That last Trial was a bit of a mess, wasn’t it? Well, rest assured our dear Vampire friend is very sorry about it.

Of course that doesn’t make you feel better, but how about a mood booster? “Come hither”, and let’s think positive!

[Upon entering the tent, you’ll find yourself on a round, black-tiled platform at the bottom of a clear glass elevator. Look outside and you'll spot the other two groups in their own elevators, facing you on the other walls of a triangular pit. You can't reach or hear them at the moment, but they look safe enough.

In your own elevator, you’ll find a podium with a speaker and a push-to-talk microphone. Taped next to them is a laminated paper containing the rules, titled:

Raise Eachother Up

Time for some cheer and positivity!]

[ WHAT THE FUCK, REAN?! ]

[ Okay. Okay. COMPOSING HIMSELF! Crow clears his throat and starts speaking. ]

Rufus is as cunning as he is attractive-- and that's a damned feat. Don't you ever think it'll be easy to pull the wool over his eyes. He's at least two steps ahead of you and he's thought of all the angles. You can't help but admire that kind of wit! Not to mention he can kick anyone's ass without even breaking a sweat. Don't underestimate him or you'll regret it.

Rean burns as brilliantly as the sun and warms you from the inside out. He's compassionate to a fault, someone who cares so deeply for the people around you that you can't help but be amazed. He's intelligent, with a sharp wit and sassy tongue and you can't help but want to keep talking to him just to hear what he'll come back with next. He's strong-- strong of heart, strong of will, and actually just really damned strong physically. But he doesn't draw your attention to it, doesn't brag about it. He just lets it be what it is, and that just makes him all the more admirable.

Also, he's easily one the hottest guys on the train.

Dusk is frankly one of the most impressive people on the train-- if not anywhere, ever. Faced with amnesia and tasked with getting to know people to save each other and all the worlds, he hit the ground running. You wouldn't think he'd only just shown up with how enthusiastically he's thrown himself into things. He's a hell of a guy.

...Dunno anything about Noon, though.

I know Noon! He brought me a flower crown when I was sad.

[bad_crowmance]

You wanna cover some compliments for him then? --Oh, and if you've got anything to add for the others, too.

Re: GROUP 1: Thyme, Licorice

[bowtiedbones]

I'm not going to say it's nicer than mine, but Rufus does have very nice hair. Rean you've got covered.

Noon has kind instincts. He's gone out of his way to help and comfort someone he'd barely met, and at the same time he tries not to put his own burdens on others. Of course there's people who will want to help anyways, but it's a kind of compassion to not want to worry or overwork others. He's also kind of cute! A good sense of humor, and correct to acknowledge my rank as the wiggliest and the scuttliest.

[bad_crowmance]

That sounds pretty good to me! We've totally got this.

Re: GROUP 1: Thyme, Licorice

[bowtiedbones]

It's easy when everyone's great.

Re: GROUP 1: Thyme, Licorice

[bad_crowmance]

You're right and you should say it louder!

Re: GROUP 1: Thyme, Licorice

[bowtiedbones]

I should and I can.

[HITTING THE MIC AGAIN, WHY DID ANYONE GIVE HER ACCESS TO THIS:]

Hi, no points, just a bonus reminder that you're all great!
