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.]

[lifts his arm, tucks herself under it, hi hello.

there's also a sleek hellhound is lying down next to the tent and watching.]

How many of ours did you get right? We almost got "mother," but "swimsuit" was easy!

[Oh, hello! He jumps a bit, startled and tense for a few moments until he sees it's her and relaxes.]

[Getting a one arm hug.]

...Crow had egg, but since we both clued into Cherub right away, we went with that.

[pretending she didn't notice him tense up. normally she might have given some hello before just latching on, but after that other trial she Wants Cuddles Now]

Oh! With the circle for a halo disk?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Fair enough, really. And he's a little more mindful of that maybe being the case.]

That was the thought, yeah.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

That's not a bad guess.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah, but still a shame when we were close.

So they're new. [Gestures to the Hellhound.]

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

[the hellhound pricks her ears forward]

That's Enya. I summoned her yesterday.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[schrodingerscockroach]

Hello Enya. Nice to meet you.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

[enya makes a very soft wuff]

This is Dusk, Enya. He's allowed in my room.

She's not a familiar, but she'll be sticking around for awhile as a guard dog.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[schrodingerscockroach]

Nothing wrong with not being soul bonded to new friends. I'll have to introduce Sunset to her later.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

How good is Sunset with giant, giant dogs?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[schrodingerscockroach]

Sunset has a lot of spirit.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

So, fearless?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[schrodingerscockroach]

Exactly.

And very affectionate to everyone. Or fighting them. One of those.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

She sounds like a spoiled terror!

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah, but she's my spoiled terror.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[bowtiedbones]

Of course, since you're the one doing the spoiling.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[schrodingerscockroach]

Exactly.
