The Eighteenth Trial

[hot_mess_express]

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.

[ They grimace at that. ]

Seriously, we have to stop meeting like this.

Re: Turn 11

We do seem to do it a lot.

[Considering, approaching, testing the snow with a paw, seeing how deep it goes.] If I can just get some stable footing, I think you can just grab onto me....

Re: Turn 11

[whatsnewpussycat]

The stable footing part's probably key.

[ They try to wiggle a bit as they speak. ]

Re: Turn 11

[plscoffeeneednap]

Luckily I got four.

[Takes a minute to find places that feel solid and within reach.] Okay, that should work. Try and get your arms free. [Going to dig at the snow over one side to help loosen it up.]

Re: Turn 11

[whatsnewpussycat]

[ It takes them a bit of effort but not!Eliza's helping and they finally manage to get their arms free enough wiggle them out of the snow. ]

There! They're out!

Re: Turn 11

[plscoffeeneednap]

Great. Okay, grab onto me and I should be able to drag you out.

Re: Turn 11

[whatsnewpussycat]

[ They reach to wrap their arms firmly around not!Eliza, shivering as they do.

It's cold. They really don't like the cold. ]

Re: Turn 11

[plscoffeeneednap]

[At least Eliza is a wolf and thus very warm, especially after the canyon dried out the water of the swamp.]

[But digging her paws into the ground and letting four legs be leverage to help drag out Not!Cat.]

Re: Turn 11

[whatsnewpussycat]

[ They hold onto not!Eliza for a moment longer after they're freed. ]

I think Cat might actually hate the cold more than I do, I swear I feel more miserable than usual. Anyway, thanks for the rescue.

Re: Turn 11

[plscoffeeneednap]

....

[Will lean against not!Cat.]

You gonna be okay?

Re: Turn 11

[whatsnewpussycat]

Yeah, I can take care of myself.

[ They pull away and flash a grin at not!Eliza. ]

Guess that's another one I owe you.

Re: Turn 11

[plscoffeeneednap]

Just racking up a whole tab, aren't ya?

[Nudges their side.]

Just be careful. Maybe you'll get the cocoa.

Re: Turn 11

[whatsnewpussycat]

Maybe I'll even pay it back.

[ They wave at not!Eliza. ]

I'll look out for that cocoa. See you around!

Re: Turn 11

[plscoffeeneednap]

Won't that be a sight.

See you.

[off she goes.]
