The Twenty Second Trial

Who: You
When: Day 49, Morning
Where:

The entrance today is a huge, ornate stone archway. A gossamer veil glittering like starlight upon water hangs inside it, fluttering as if caught in a gentle breeze. It's impossible to say what might lie beyond; even if you walk around the other side — and it's perfectly possible to do so — you just see the same thing.

...sweet Celestia, did no one even explain....? [There is a brief look of disgust before she sighed.]

This happens. Games where people get hurt or maybe die because one of the trial runners is a sadist who thinks it's good bonding experience.

It sounds like you were poisoned. The lethal dose should be out of your system, but still take it easy in case there's stuff left.

I'm still hallucinating, Des says.

[And in no shape to be doing much else. And probably missing blood.]

Hallucinating? [Well, that can be a problem.]

[Ponders and] Too heavy to carry with telekinesis for long.... [SIGH.]

[Turning into a human with a poof of glittering magic.] Come on, we should get you to the medical car. There's some healing pods in there. Get you back in better shape.

Thank you. That's a new trick.

[Sadly, Pen is tall and awkward, so carrying is difficult.]

Had to buy a magic device, but at least I get to be in a body that feels comfortable more regularly.

Just hard to deal with how you guys are set up sometimes.

[Listen, she will deal. And she's surprisingly strong for her frame.]

[So gonna get an arm around her and start dragging him on back to the med car.]

["Well, yes. Bodies you don't grow up in can be difficult"]

[Pen can at least stagger and mostly rely on Solar Flare for balance, and cues about if he's hallucinating anything]

And this way, you have the option for either.

I meant more I'm too short as a pony to properly carry you.

There is that, I guess. [Dragging along, not noticing an oddity yet.]

Wait, excuse me?

[because the first bit did not seem to follow from what he had said aloud]

I'm too short? As a pony?

I mean, I think you're light enough to carry, I'm a pretty sturdy unicorn, but your limbs would drag and might pull you off.

And I'm tall for a human, so that wouldn't help.

Exactly. So better as a human even if it's not as comfortable as my pony body.
