auroraexpress | 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!]

T-Thank you.

Give me a dare.

I dare you....

To tell me three things you like.

[Also worth knowing what people like.]

Theater. Red wine. Novels.

The same dare, if you please.

Cats, sweets, and weapons.

Are there movies in your world?

I have never heard of "movies."

I think you're going to love them.

It's like being able to watch a play in your own home.

...Odd. I know some magic can, ah, record and project images but to do so on a mass scale is-- quite strange.

That is the wonders of technology. I'm getting some DVDs for a movie night in the lounge car, I should be able to play it on the big screen.

I dare you to tell me your favorite story genres.
