The Twenty-Fifth Trial [Mirror]

Who: Heroes
When: Day ??
Where: ??

[The sky is grey and overcast, kind of… Gloomy.

There is no “come hither heroes”, there is no call. Simply, you find yourself in a different place.

Six Japanese style buildings, shrines, in team color roofs, surround the clearing. Despite the wood and rice paper walls there’s no hearing what happens in each building, no seeing what happens in each building, and no entering a building that is not your own team’s unless the game places you there. There is a seventh building of no color that can be sheltered in between rounds.

Sousei, or what looks like him, stands in the center of the clearing but his eyes are black, and pearly white scales cover his body entirely. His voice rings across the clearing like thunder.]

Wretched creatures, struggle, writhe, despair, and fall.

[He raises his hand, lightning strikes him, and his body sheds like snake skin as a massive serpent rises and rises and rises, curling around the whole area, taller than any tree, looking down at the clearing with pure malice.

It starts to rain.]

[ Leaving temple and looking forcibly neutral ]

I guess this is where we ask Ginger and Licorice for volunteers, preferably the soldiery type.

Ehhhh, volunteers for what?

Sparing the smaller teams from getting chosen and probably going nuts.

That's a bit much to ask, isn't it?

That's why it's a volunteer. I'm not here to force anyone. But it would be choosing more fair to everyone.

Volunteers...?

You know... to make choices fair.
bluediligence: (I'd do the same for you.)

[ Rubs her eyes, not that it does any good to hide how much she's been crying. ]

Huh-?

Faito...

[ He won't ask if she's all right, but he will offer his hand ]
bluediligence: (As regular as clockwork.)

[personal profile] bluediligence 2019-12-21 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hesitates for just a second ... ]

[ Takes his hand, stepping in closer. She doesn't say anything - doesn't even know where to start. ]
malignstar: (are you still there)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-21 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's going to try pulling her into a hug, first and foremost. ]
bluediligence: (Everybody worries about that sometimes.)

[personal profile] bluediligence 2019-12-21 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She goes willingly, hugging him tight. And she just, she just shakes, fighting back a fresh wave of tears. ]

We can make it through this...
bluediligence: (Get used to disappointment.)

[personal profile] bluediligence 2019-12-21 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck all of this!
malignstar: (who can face this world alone)

[personal profile] malignstar 2019-12-21 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, seriously. Fuck all of this.
