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'm no coward. But seriously, what do they even put in this?

I'm going to say that you're better off not knowing.

I dare you to eat a cat treat next.

Uh-oh, I should have seen this coming, huh?

[BUT... TAKES A CAT TREAT]

Yep. Your lack of foresight was the only flaw in that plan.

[takes a cat treat.......... small wincing nibble]

I brought this on myself, but I’m holding you to blame.

I'll gladly take full responsibility and credit.

[for stealing her idea]

You're super welcome. Why is this so gritty?

Weren't you the one who told me it was better for us not to know?
bowtiedbones: (45)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-08-16 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I know what's in it, but I don't know which part is the grit.

Some questions aren't meant to be answered.

Not even by science.

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2019-08-17 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
For our sake, it remains a mystery.

Personally, I'm okay with that.

Care for another dare?

[one that does not involve cat food]
