The Sixteenth Trial

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!]

[Why. Why does she have to deal with this--]

...A compliment is saying something positive about a person. Something you like, specifically, about them.
fisherofmen: (but the)

. . . Oh. I can't help, then. I don't have things I like.
desirestruth: (And fell into Hell)

...Do you have things you thing are objectively good traits?

[WHY

SHE'S NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG IN HER LIFE.]
fisherofmen: (stain will not be gone)

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-07-31 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I can do that.
desirestruth: (Ran away on it's own)

[personal profile] desirestruth 2019-07-31 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Then, that will work.

[someone please save her.]

[ it's fine he thought about it more and actually had nice things to say in a "i like these traits" way even if he

didn't say them

like that. ]
