The Seventeeth Trial
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!]

I know I just met you recently, but I have something to say to you.

Done.
I don't need a response to my feelings, but... I thought you ought to know. That's all.

[SNORTS IN AMUSEMENT since this is almost what he expected, but. he swallows that down quickly and plants his own hands on Crow's shoulders]
I hate to say it in the face of such a heartfelt confession, but. . .
[a pause for DRAMATIC EFFECT]
I'm running away to join a convent and become a nun.

[ NUNS AREN'T CELIBATE IN TRAILS UNIVERSE. ]

You know a lot about nuns and their chastity. Or lack thereof.

Isn't it strange how some knowledge sticks with us, even with the lost memories?

[that sure is an eclectic spread of random knowledge isn't it]
What about you?
no subject
Let's see... I remember a lot about card games, darts, pool, chess... cat toys, how to put on a show....
[ He grins at Spark. ]
...and nuns, apparently.
no subject
[said with amusement and no judgment whatsoever]
Cat toys is kind of an outlier. Why do you think cat toys is on that list?
no subject
[ He grins, though he's only halfway kidding. ]

[OBVIOUSLY!!]
All right, then. Hit me with your best dare.
