The Twenty-Third Trial

[advisories]

Who: trialgoers etc!
When: Day 50, morning
Where: the ~trial zone~

[Another morning, another Trial! Ugh.

At least this one seems normal, starting out with a shake and the Hermit’s booming voice:]

"Good morning, Heroes. You can guess why you're being called, but before we begin I have an official statement. The Prince of Stars and associates were not responsible for yesterday's Trial. It appears the system was copied by a Malicious entity -- we apologize for any confusion and are doing our best to locate this entity and find a way to prevent any such incidents in the future.

In the meantime, we've scheduled a low-stress Trial for today to lift your spirits. With teamwork and a little silliness, let's search for unity and peace within ourselves."

[The Hermit's tent is in the clearing, awaiting your arrival.]

...How was that a lion?

[ Did she win? Yes. That doesn't mean she isn't confused on that one. ]

...I guess the sun could be a mane?

I don't know about the grass though. Takes a whole lot of magic to make a lion vegan.

A vegan lion... I don't think there's enough magic in existence.

[ Not that she's ever had to think of magic before she showed up here. Curses don't count.

Rin sighs. ]

It's probably meant to make us think of where lions come from... wherever that is.

[ She doesn't care about lions, okay. She's never thought about where they're from. ]

There is in Equestria, but it's still something rarely done. Usually only if the lion is going to be living amongst ponies. It's.....easier for animal ponies to stomach, especially since they can only eat so much fish.

The savanah, but that's yellow grass.

Well...

[ Rin sighs. ]

Regardless, it looks like we didn't do a good job with the symbolism. Another time, perhaps.

It still seems like a bad game design. I didn't even know what a word was. At least if we knew who our audience was, we might have guessed how they looked at things.
