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!]

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.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[....cute.]

[Okay, time for a serenade and he will take a knee in front of her and take a hand in his own and will sing for her. Which isn't terrible. Not great, but okay.]

[bowtiedbones]

Oh! Geez, this song is what you pick??

[TIME TO BLUSH FOR FOUR MINUTES]

[schrodingerscockroach]

If I'm going to serenade someone, the song should be worth their time,

[bowtiedbones]

It was, good job, I’m very wooed!

[bounces out of the chair, fluttering her hbads]

Now sit, sit, my turn to do a dare!

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yes ma'am.

[So cute. But will obediently sit for her.]

[bowtiedbones]

[KNEELS

TAKES HIS HAND

GAZES EARNESTLY INTO HIS EYES...]

[bowtiedbones]

[goes very pink]

/3

[bowtiedbones]

[and then scrambles to her feet and back across the room towards crow]

No I can't do it, sorry, be right back!!

Re: /3

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He's waiting oh so patiently, meeting her eyes-]

[Whoops, there she goes]

[bowtiedbones]

[KISSING CROW then hurrying back]

Okay, back! Sorry about that, I had to bail out.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He chuckles.] What did he dare you to do?
