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!]

Just a few minutes.

[Fear the man's poker face.]

[bad_crowmance]

That... was beautiful.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Thank you.

[bad_crowmance]

I've gotta play poker against you sometime. It'd be a real challenge to figure out if you're bluffing.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I'm pretty good at the poker face thing.

Though I think my luck might be terrible.

[Judging by how their blade card game went.]

[bad_crowmance]

That's true.

[ HE REMEMBERS. ]

Well, it could still be fun.

[schrodingerscockroach]

See if my ability to bluff can overcome whatever luck might throw at me.

Also excuse me.

[Because after his lie, he has to also get dressed. Getting a pink dress and just gonna come back, calm as can be.]

Kiss or dare?

[bad_crowmance]

Nice dress, it suits you! And it'll be another dare, of course.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Thank you.

I dare you to let your favorite person here braid your hair.

[bad_crowmance]

My favourite person, huh...?

[ YOU KNOW DAMNED WELL WHO THAT'S GOING TO BE. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yep.

[:)]

[bad_crowmance]

[ It is being done. When he comes back, he's shaking his head. ]

You're enjoying yourself, aren't you?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Absolutely. Gotta say, the strip thing was great. Just hit 'fuck it' right away.

[bad_crowmance]

See, I'm a helper!

[ He regrets nothing. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

You're a terror.

What else you got?

[bad_crowmance]

That's the job description~

Anyway, I dare you to shout out the first thing you think of at the top of your lungs.

[schrodingerscockroach]

THAT IS A STUPIDLY EASY DARE TO DO.

[Also maybe a mistake because he can both get a really high pitch for a guy of his build and squeaky.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Give Crow a moment, he's too busy laughing. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

I really don't know what you expected. I was acting drill sergeant for a while.

[bad_crowmance]

It wasn't meant to be a hard dare, just a fun one.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Glad you're enjoying yourself.

[bad_crowmance]

Of course! This is the kind of trial I can really thrive in.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I can tell.

I dare you to put on make up. Might as well complete the look.

[bad_crowmance]

I don't even know how to put on makeup.... but I can give it a shot.

[schrodingerscockroach]

All the more entertaining then.
