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.]

Nothing, but it doesn't really affect your quality of life here...?

Why does that matter? We were talking about you.

We were, but... Um, nevermind.

[ Seems confused but doesn't press ]

Very well...

Anyways. What's going on?

Going on?

You've been acting weird all day.

We did just have a rather traumatic experience.

And you got a whole new vocabulary out of it?

... What are you talking about?

Tell me what the difference between a pupper and doggo is.

[ What? He looks so very baffled. ]

... one is younger... ?

And what about boofs?

[ Where is she even coming up with these? ]

Are we still discussing dogs?

Dogs and yippers.

Large... barking dog?

Is that a guess or an answer?

An answer, of course.

Partially correct.

What is the point of these questions?

They're a demonstration. You're not acting right.

And how would you have me act? I did realize there was some protocol I have been neglecting.

For one thing, what protocol?

You are the one who said I am acting against some perception.

It's not a protocol, you're just acting strange.
