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!]

Yeah.

Whether or not that's true, its not a recognized possibility. Its not something that should be happening. Something that's still seen as a malfunction. Which makes it weird when it does, especially around the weird group of soldiers who had someone who was probably a ghost in their number.

Aahh, good point ...

[ She's not sure how much she likes the idea of the possible development of sentience being considered a malfunction, BUT, ]

Well, all I can say is, it's a good thing they've got you as a friend.
schrodingerscockroach: (Its kind of sweet)

[Really its all about how its still weird!!!!]

I'm trying, at least. Was not happy at how Locus was treating them.

Guy who set off every danger instinct in me. Captured us before a semi-incompetent army kind of hired us.

Also I dare you to tell me what obaasan means.

[ ...?? ]

Did the semi-incompetent army rescue you from him, or something?

[ Her lips twitch. ]

Obaa-san means grandma.

So, he works for the semi-incompetent army and probably why they lasted as long as they did with a leader who faints after simply having a gun pointed at him. Its a whole stupid thing where my men are split on both sides and they're going to try and indoctrinate us and we kind of need to go along until we find the others. And hope they haven't bought into the narrative too much.

It sounds like a war where no side is really right.

....ah. Definitely need to bully him.
