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.]

Ah.

....okay, so when you had ghost, how could you not include a cemetery?

Unless ghosts aren't spirits of the dead....

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

I honestly didn't think of it. I mean, technically I'm a ghost. But you're right, that probably would have helped a lot.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

It really would have.

....awful solid for a ghost. [Says the unicorn.]

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

I'd like to point out you appear to be a bright yellow unicorn, so don't cast too many stones.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

I have a friend with rainbow colored hair. Far as I'm concerned, it's you all whose lacking proper pigment variation.

Seriously, you're all so dull to look at.

[She says to the anime protag with blue hair.]

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

Oof. Noted. Though of all the things I've seen I think a unicorn is still new to me.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

But you still recognize one.

What is WITH all these worlds thinking unicorns are a myth. [Throwing up her hooves.]

[She is a very springy brightly colored unicorn.]

At least humans just straight up didn't exist. Where are myths coming from? Did we just go extinct?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

I hope not. Maybe your kind is just elusive?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

I can't imagine how, most unicorns are pretty much the exact opposite.

One of the most common bad stereotypes is arrogance and showing off and I don't think it's a necessarily untrue one? Magic does a lot for that.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

Well, witches, dragons and vampires are all pretty hidden, but they all use magic, it might be in my world unicorns are even more so. Even I'm not what you'd consider a common occurence where I'm from.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

Well, I mean, ghosts are supposed to be invisible. Are you sure they're not common?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

Yep. That kind of ghost isn't really common either. They happen sometimes, though.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

So why are you the weird solid one?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

Because calling myself a ghost is a little misleading. Not totally inaccurate, but... I'm more like a guardian spirit. More cool powers, but more responsibilities.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

...well, yeah, it IS misleading.

Guardian spirits and ghosts are totally different.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

I'm also a ghost though, since I was alive and now I'm a spirit. So it's both.

[Wiggles his hand.]

Second is more accurate though, you're right.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

Did you actually die, or were you just transformed into the guardian spirit?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

You know, I don't actually remember. Though in a way I've died a few times since. As much as an eternal spirit can.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

Does this body regenerate, or do you get a new one?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

It regenerates. Though if it's obliterated it has to reform at my shrine. Which I'm not conscious for so it's not bad.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

Hmmm, then that'd only be the most technical definition of ghost if that's happened.

Regenerating body just means you're immortal.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

That's also true. I guess in some sense I'm just as much like a vampire as a spirit.

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

What, you wreak havoc on orchards or the blood kind?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[awakenerd]

Well, neither. But I need a lot of mana to exist, so I'm bound to others. Like a familiar.

Does that make me an immortal vampire spirit guardian ghost familiar?

Re: WINNERS & ENDGAME

[daydreamshimmer]

...that's....weird with someone whose capable of taking care of themselves.

Nah, when you get enough title, you just make a new one. Like you don't call a pony a unicorn pegasus earth pony, you just call them alicorn.
