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!]

[ Faito takes a while getting changed, because. ]

[ Well. ]

[ When she finally does come out, she's dressed up like this. ]

Hi~! I dare you ... to tell me one thing that's made you happy today!

[bowtiedbones]

Can I say "your outfit," because oh my gosh, I love it!

[bluediligence]

[ oh NO ]

T-Thanks! [ Gives a bit of a twirl. ] I thought it'd be fun to try something different, you know?

[bowtiedbones]

It's really great! I think the tights absolutely have to be my favorite part, like those would go cute with almost any skirt.

[bluediligence]

Mmm! I love the heart design on them, it's super cute!

Your dress is really pretty, too.

[bowtiedbones]

[flutters her hen to make the sequins glitter]

Thanks! I wanted something with plenty of sparkle for the club lights! I was looking at something slinkier first, but I love the casual look on this one.

[survivaltricks]

There's a cat running this trial.

[and he jerks his thumb towards the cat behind the bar counter]

[HIGHLIGHT OF HIS EVENING]

[bluediligence]

I like the way you think, Twilight! ... Twilight-kun...?

[ how does one honorifics in magical multidimensional train-land ]

[survivaltricks]

[OH MOOD, HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM]

Just Twilight. Or, you know, Spark. Otherwise it's too formal.

[bluediligence]

Ehh, but Twilight is so much cooler! It's almost mysterious.

[ Claps her hands together. ]

I've been trying to figure out whether or not I should use honorifics for days now ...

[survivaltricks]

[his mouth twitches but he honestly doesn't mind Twilight, so. no arguments there]

Dusk was pretty clear I shouldn't use them with him, so I dropped them for everyone. No one has seemed to mind.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Seeing you.

[DID YOU WANT SAP? HAVE SAP.]

[bluediligence]

[ YIKES ]

Hitting hard right out of the gate, geez! I'm, uhm, I'm happy to see you too, you big sap.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He laughs.] It's apparently my secret weapon.

[Ruffling her hair.]

[bluediligence]

[ She actually stops him this time, lightly grabbing his wrist just before he can make contact. ]

Careful! You'll mess up my hat!

[malignstar]

Getting to play this cute game with everyone.

[bluediligence]

Heck yeah!

[ Offers her fist for a FIST BUMP ]

It's gonna be great.

[malignstar]

[ Wearing this number.

Also definitely going for that fist bump ]

In the mood for a dare?

[bluediligence]

Hit me with your best shot!

I love your shirt, by the way.

[nihilmancy]

Happy? Hm, a butterfly landed on my hand when I was out walking.

[bluediligence]

Oh my gosh, lucky!

[nihilmancy]

Then I ate it.

1/2

[bluediligence]

... [ oh. ]

[bluediligence]

I ... didn't realise butterflies were edible.

[voreaciously]

[Has to think about this a moment.]

I finished breakfast on time, today.
