The Twenty-Third Trial

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.]

Yep! I'm gonna try and get my other Divine Knight over here.

You mean like Rean?

[can we use sparks to get people?????]

Ordine's a little different from Rean. He's not really alive so if I'm lucky, then maybe...

[ Look, he just wants his giant robot pal okay. ]

Oh! I've had three of my familiars arrive, so that should be possible...? They're not really alive either.

[zero idea robots are involved]

They're part of why I thought of it in the first place. I found an option in the spark store that I think will work but... it's gonna cost me.

How much is it?

Fifty thousand sparks.

Oh geez— that's really high.

No kidding! I'm going to be saving for forever!

[running the mental math of sparks vs. time vs. trials...... oh dear]

How many are you at now?

About... 6,900 sparks.

[ It's... going to be a while. ]

I can help with bonds but... Good luck?

I'll gladly take the help, especially from a cute girl like you.

If you don't have anything already in mind, I know what my favorite bonds are.

Do any of them involve me getting to kiss you?

[ IT'S WORTH A SHOT. ]

Well, actually...!

[A LUCKY SHOT ON TARGET]

[ SCORE! ]

In that case...

[ He dips down and kisses her. ]

[giggling and kissing him BACK]

[ Crow lingers on the kiss for a moment before he pulls away with a grin. ]

I definitely wouldn't mind more of that.

[tucks her hair back behind her ears, BLUSHING and still giggly]

Even when more may not count for sparks?

[ Crow's response is to dip down and give her another kiss.

Does that answer the question? ]

[very clearly!!]

[ Crow pulls away after a long moment, grinning at her. ]

I think that won't be a problem.

[loitering in his space, hands on his arms]

I'm glad to hear it.

[ He moves to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear. ]

I like your company, sparks or no sparks.
