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.

Well, it definitely gave me a new perspective to be a lot lighter.

Was it weird not having wings?

My balance was so much better! Once I got used to being so light on my feet.

Really! Just from not having the weight there?

You'd be surprised just how much these things can unbalance you.

I guess it makes sense. You don't carry your weight the same as a bird does.

How would I do that?

Well you would need a tail, for one thing.

[ Pops out wolf tail and gives it a hearty wag because of course he does ]

This doesn't count?

Unfortunately not!

Maybe I can trade it for something more aerodynamic and flashy, what do you think?

If you want it for flying, go ahead and try, but the other part of walking like a bird with a tail is going to be walking bent over all the time. They don't keep their weight all vertical like humans do.
