The Eighteenth Trial

Who: Trialgoers
When: Day 41, morning
Where:

I hope you were expecting to suddenly find yourself in a very different body from the one you're used to. No? You weren't? Ah, that's too bad … It's happened, and you're just going to have to Deal With It. In your hands is a foldable waterproof map, a six-sided die, and a whistle that you can hang around your neck.

To add insult to injury, you cannot, no matter how hard you try, reveal who you are or what team you're on.

Turn 6

[Landing on fifteen!]

[And getting hit by a deer to land on 14 and minus two HP.]

[....]

[She could just]

[Eat the deer]

[She is a wolf, SHE COULD JUST EAT THE DEER]

[Fights that temptation A While]
plscoffeeneednap: (This is so dumb)

Turn 7

[Rolled a four for eighteen and]

[Hate]

[HATE HATE HATE]

[Even turns back into a human to see if that'd get her unstuck, but no dice, and lacking the endurance to really air crunch to get at the rope and UUUUUUUGH]

[Whistling for help.]

[ A HERO IS COMING ]

Hey! Are you -

[ Oh. They see the problem now. Skids to a stop beneath the tree, blinking up at them from beneath the rim of a dashing cowboy hat. ]

... I guess "are you okay" would be a stupid question, huh? Hang on, I'll get you down!
plscoffeeneednap: (This is so dumb)

[personal profile] plscoffeeneednap 2019-09-06 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
A little bit, yeah.

[Well, at least she can sass.]

Appreciated. I've already been light headed as is, don't need blood all up here.
eightleggedfriend: (Down came the rain)

[personal profile] eightleggedfriend 2019-09-06 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's a relief, if nothing else. ]

[ Follows the rope along to where it's tied, and, okay, this might take them a minute or two. ]

Ugh, I bet. This place is bad enough as it is without feeling unwell. Almost there ...
plscoffeeneednap: (This is so dumb)

[personal profile] plscoffeeneednap 2019-09-06 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. And my rolls have been terrible. So just getting to enjoy more fun.

[Will shift so if she falls, she'll hit shoulders first and not head first, just in case.]
eightleggedfriend: (And dried up all the rain)

[personal profile] eightleggedfriend 2019-09-06 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Mine have been ... uhhhm, interesting. To say the least.

[ Aha! There we go! Rather than let her fall, they grab hold of the rope and try to lower her more gently. HECK YEAH STRENGTH. ]
plscoffeeneednap: (....well okay)

[personal profile] plscoffeeneednap 2019-09-06 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
At least you got a hat?

[I mean, better then getting hit by deer and neck deep in water.]

[Tenses as the rope is loosened, but oh. Yes, good, slow descent. Will get her arms under her as soon as she can and help lower herself with a sigh.]

Thank yooooou. [Sitting up is another head rush.]
eightleggedfriend: (The blooming bloody rain came down)

[personal profile] eightleggedfriend 2019-09-06 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
It is a pretty cool hat, mm! [ They tip it, like a fancy gentleman, except really that just makes them look like a huge nerd. ]

[ Comes over to crouch beside her. ]

Maybe you should sit down for a couple of minutes.
plscoffeeneednap: (....well okay)

[personal profile] plscoffeeneednap 2019-09-06 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[She giggles.] You look quite dashing.

....yeah, maybe. [Sighing and gonna put her hand between her knees.] Gonna sit her down after this, I think.
eightleggedfriend: (And dried up all the rain)

[personal profile] eightleggedfriend 2019-09-06 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Blushes faintly, and quickly tugs the brim of the hat down. ]

... I guess I shouldn't be embarrassed when it's the body you're calling dashing, but still, it's a little weird to hear it.

[ Puts a light hand on her shoulder. ]

Are you guys friends? You and Eliza, I mean.
plscoffeeneednap: (:D)

[personal profile] plscoffeeneednap 2019-09-06 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, dashing is also partly state of mind. [Glancing up and grinning.] I'm sure you can be very dashing if you want to be.

[Nodding.] Yeah. Not the most out of character thing if she's hiding something.

Though it could be a cold or a caffeine withdrawal.
eightleggedfriend: (And dried up all the rain)

[personal profile] eightleggedfriend 2019-09-06 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Is it? [ Pfft. ] I don't think "dashing" is a word anybody'd use for me.

[ Light squeeze! ]

Hopefully it's nothing serious. Eliza's always seemed sensible when I've talked to her ... Ah, but then again, I don't know her well.
plscoffeeneednap: (Gotta get to work)

[personal profile] plscoffeeneednap 2019-09-06 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, I'm sure we could prove that wrong.

Not everyone can be sensible all the time, but here's hoping.

[Let's out a huff and pushing herself to her feet.] We should keep going. Good luck?
eightleggedfriend: (And washed the spider out)

[personal profile] eightleggedfriend 2019-09-06 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ah! Yeah, I guess we should ... [ Hops up as well, hovering a bit in case she needs help. ]

Good luck!

[ Once they're sure she's steady, they nyoom back off into the distance. ]
plscoffeeneednap: (:))

[personal profile] plscoffeeneednap 2019-09-06 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Seems a little more steady this time.] Thanks for the help.
plscoffeeneednap: (???)

Turn 8

[personal profile] plscoffeeneednap 2019-09-06 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Rolls another four! Onto twenty-two.]

[Looking around for anything going wrong, clearly there's wrong....!]

[Oh]

[Golden clover of rerolling.]

[Well, that's nice.]
