The Seventeeth Trial

[catcophonous]

Who: trialgoers
When: Day 39, evening
Where: The Cat's Zone

[Have you enjoyed your day playing in your new train cars? Great! Because now it's Trial Time.

With the usual alert, the Cat's bar appears in the clearing. There's no "come hither" -- instead, just the pounding of bass from the speakers as the door cracks open. Inside there's flashing party lights, upbeat club music, and high-top tables surrounding a wide dance floor. The stage in the corner is empty except for a single microphone.

At the bar you can get free drinks, but you'll have to contend with the bartender -- a black cat curled up on the shelf between the bottles.

On the bar, and on every table, is a sign showing the rules of this game, titled:

Kiss or Dare

If you want to dress up for the club, or want costumes for daring purposes, there's a dressing room behind the stage with a magic closet. You'll find whatever you like in it, but when the trial ends you can only take home what you're wearing!

Good luck!]

[hi hello yes Twilight has found his people]

[while everyone else is playing the game, he can be found near the bar, dressed like so as he tries to coax the bar tending cat towards him]

[COME HERE FLUFF HE WANTS TO PET YOU]

[bowtiedbones]

Oh my gosh, cute gloves!

[survivaltricks]

[leans back from the bar, then wags his fingers at her]

Thanks. I thought they added a bit of style to the outfit.

[bowtiedbones]

They totally do! It's a really trendy look.

[survivaltricks]

[aw she called him trendy]

[HE'S TRENDY EVEN WITHOUT AMNESIA]

Ah. . . thanks.

[a bit sheepish; like he isn't used to compliments!!]

"Trendy" wasn't what I was going for, but it's nice of you to say it.

[bowtiedbones]

[it's a deserved compliment!!]

You're welcome! It's really fun that this trial has a chance for people to dress up.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Ah, the grand challenge of figuring out how much attention and ignoring is necessary for the cat to come to you.

[survivaltricks]

[dusk got it in one]

I was hoping my ability to speak cat would've given me an edge.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Maybe you shoukd have gone for a tanktop then for a proper cat greeting.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . ?]

[the joke flies right over his head]

Why a tanktop?

[schrodingerscockroach]

.....

Because it exposes the armpits. Forgetting our jokes, what a heartbreaker.

[voreaciously]

Good evening, Spark-han.

[survivaltricks]

Oh—hey, 80H.

[leans away from the bar and greets her with a smile]

You look nice.

[voreaciously]

[she's changed out of her combat uniform into a nice dress BUT NOW HE SAYS SHE LOOKS NICE WHAT DO]

...Thank you. I may change again, but I need a dress like this, I think.

[survivaltricks]

[ACCEPT THE COMPLIMENT!!]

To wear to the beach, or just in general? It almost seems too nice for the beach.

[voreaciously]

[HNGH]

Just in general.

[nihilmancy]

Making a friend?

[survivaltricks]

I'm trying to, but they're playing on merciless mode.

[aka cat is not responding to him yet]

[nihilmancy]

Maybe they're just tired.

[survivaltricks]

Maybe. I'm not that offended by it.

[any dramatic exclamation of offense is exaggerated for humor's sake]

Anyway, are you playing?

[nihilmancy]

Um, y-yes, I am.

[malignstar]

You came back!

[survivaltricks]

[looks to the left]

[then to the right]

[then points at himself]

. . . me?

[malignstar]

Yeah you! You're Akira, right? You don't have any of Kiryuu's cool accessories.

[ Frowns ]

You didn't forget about me already, did you?

[survivaltricks]

[uuuuuuuh]

[?????]

Someone said there were a few people here to looked like me? Maybe you're getting me confused for one of them. . .

[I'M SORRY HE HAS AMNESIA NOW]
