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!]

[ He blinks a little at the "sweet" comment but rolls right past it. ]

Dare, of course!

[bowtiedbones]

I dare you to gel your hair back.

[bad_crowmance]

....Do you have any hair gel I can borrow?

[bowtiedbones]

I don't, but I bet there's some in the closet.

[bad_crowmance]

Alright, gimme a sec!

[ He wanders into the closet and when he shows back up his hair is gelled back! ...He is, however, still wearing his bandanna. ]

Ta-daaaah~!

[bowtiedbones]

[crow WHY]

Oh my gosh, now that is a new look!

[bad_crowmance]

[ BECAUSE HE LIKES IT! S U F F E R. ]

Don't think I'll be adopting it permanently but it'll do for now.

[bowtiedbones]

It's not bad! No bangs is a big change though for sure.

[bad_crowmance]

No kidding. But hey, I know I can make any look work.

[bowtiedbones]

Maybe next dare I should put you in a suit.

[bad_crowmance]

I actually already own one. I haven't worn it yet though because I have plans for it.

[bowtiedbones]

Oohhhh?

[bad_crowmance]

Yep!

[ He grins, not adding anything else. ]

[bowtiedbones]

Ooohhh, secret.

[nods like, ANYWAYS,]

My turn for a dare now!

[bad_crowmance]

Just for now! Glad you understand.

[ He winks at her. But let's see, a dare... ]

I dare you to confess your love to someone loudly and dramatically.

[bowtiedbones]

Okay! I’ve never done any kind of confession before, but I’ll do my best.

[bad_crowmance]

I believe in you!

[bowtiedbones]

[WELL





she tried.]

—nevermind, cancel, veto, forfeit, I want the kiss instead!

[bad_crowmance]

[ Oh no that's so cute! Crow's grinning when she returns. ]

I'd be more than happy to kiss a cute girl like you.

[bowtiedbones]

[puts her hands on his shoulders and bounces onto her tiptoes, hi kiss please! there's no embarrassment for THIS at least]

Well then lucky you, guess what you get to!

[bad_crowmance]

[ He hooks his arm around her waist and pulls her in for a kiss. It is... not an entirely chaste kiss, though he is at least behaving enough not to grope her so there's that at least? ]

[bowtiedbones]

[really a wise choice on behaving, because as is Eliza seems more than happy enough to kiss him back]

[bad_crowmance]

[ It would be nice if it could be called restraint but no, he was dared to behave for ten minutes. Which is also why he pulls away after a long moment, grinning at her. ]

You're pretty good at that.

[bowtiedbones]

[laughing a little]

Thanks, but maybe you should thank yourself for that! You and Morgen are still the only guys I've really kissed.

[bad_crowmance]

I'm definitely thanking me for coming up with a dare you absolutely had to refuse.

[ He winks at her. ]

Now I actually got the same dare, so if you don't mind...?
