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!]

. . . Either way, it's me.

Yes, but how you're looking at it matters.

People change. They grow and adapt and over time. A person isn't going to be the exact same person they were five years ago. But trying to be that person they once were could make it so they can't be the person they are now.

[ closing his eyes, now ]

That doesn't bother me.

[ considering for a moment, before giving a little shrug ]

Who I am without memories - that person doesn't interest me.

Not being that person - that doesn't bother me.

[ a beat ]

Not that I have a choice now.
