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!]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Hmmmm. You're right, its a better look.

[bowtiedbones]

Isn't it~? This was a carefully crafted outfit!

[it's just a glittery shirt and shorts too short to be seen, but STILL]

[schrodingerscockroach]

I can tell. [Glitter for days.]

I'll take another dare.

[bowtiedbones]

I dare you to say your next seven sentences backwards.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Okay. [Shit eating grin.] Do can.

Dare another?

[bowtiedbones]

Yes, please.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Considering.]

[Then points to the stage.] You dare I. Stage on sing.

[bowtiedbones]

If you're doing short sentences, it's fair to do a short song, right?

[hops on stage. sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. HOPS OFF.]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Cheeky.]

[Raising an eyebrow, just staring at her a few moments-]

Whatsoever for asking was I what on clarity no have to and dare long a preferred have you would?

[bowtiedbones]

[breaking into giggles]

No, you're right, the only thing I got out of that was "no clarity!"

[schrodingerscockroach]

Point my made.

And that's seven.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Oh, and for another dare I got from Crow.

Five things I like about you.

You're always eager to help explain things to people. You're really smart. You're passionate about the subjects you love and that's really admirable. You're really fun and easy to talk to. And you're very, very cute.

[bowtiedbones]

[SQUEAKS]

Oh! What! Oh my gosh, thank you??

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Sorry for the emotional trolling, Eliza, you were the first response after the dare was issued.]

[He laughs.] Very, very, VERY cute.

[bowtiedbones]

[flaps her hands at him, nooo SHHHHHH

but she's laughing]

You were only dared for five, you don't need to detail it!

[schrodingerscockroach]

That's just for me.

[bowtiedbones]

[puts her hands over her cheeks, still laughing]

Geez!

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Grinning.]

I'll take another dare.

[bowtiedbones]

I! Dare you! To tell me three things you like about you!

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Gosh, do people think I don't like myself or something.]

[Haha, who would think that, that sounds fake.]

[I'd never not like myself.]

[Ha.]

I like my adaptability, I like my loyalty, and I like I know how to fight so I can protect what's important to me.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh, adaptability, that's a good one!

[schrodingerscockroach]

Does seem to be the thing people pick up about me first.

[bowtiedbones]

I can see it. You don't seem new here at all if I didn't know better.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Which does make it a lot easier to be ready for the weird things.

[And he's getting more things from Crow, so]

Do you mind if I sing to you?

[bowtiedbones]

[!! sits in a chair

crosses her legs, hands on her knee. ATTENTIVE.]

Please do.
