The Twenty-Fifth Trial [Mirror] - Winners and Endgame

[hot_mess_express]

Who: Heroes
When:Day 52, night
Where: near the Train

The rain falls harder, and the snake sneers at you as you exit the temples... Lightning strikes and the snake laughs like thunder... But that's all, the mocking laughter rings in your ears as the scenery shifts back to the normal Train area. Those who revive will do so near the Train as the winners and survivors reappear.

Ginger and Licorice double win for both surviving and targeting a Priest! For these teams they get 800 points.

Jasmine wins for surviving! They get 500 points.

Everyone on a winning team is revived and fully healed.

Everyone else... Is revived. And healed. However in whatever death wounds they received they have, instead of scars, white scales for their skin.

Smaller wounds will regenerate in a one to two days and will leave scales instead of scars unless healed otherwise.

All Kami remain hungry and able to shift to their monster form for the next day or so. Only meat will relieve this hunger.

Any Kami that were mad at the end of the game will retain a bit of mental instability for a day, in whatever form you prefer.

Priests, if they normally have powers, will find themselves somewhat weaker for a day.

It is not ICly known that these effects will wear off.

[ Crow is hanging around the train for a little while, arms crossed over his chest. He's not saying anything unless you speak to him first, but he looks calm. Collected.

(He is not calm. He is trying to quietly kill off all his feelings, make himself numb.) ]

[awakenerd]

[Well he's reviving nearby. But he'll come over if Crow doesn't beat him to it.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow does beat him to it, kneeling beside him and even holding onto his hand while he revives. Though the second Rean is fully recovered, he's going to let go. ]

[awakenerd]

[He's a little disoriented at first but he catches Crow's hand before he can go.]

Hey.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He's trying very, very hard to either kill off his feelings or not let them get through the bond-- he really is. But Rean might get a bit of surprise regardless. ]

....Hey.

[ He doesn't curl his fingers back around his hand, but he doesn't pull it away either. ]

[awakenerd]

[Ugh.]

What the hell do you think you're doing?

[bad_crowmance]

Which part?

[ There's a lot that could cover. ]

[awakenerd]

All of it.

[bad_crowmance]

Does it really matter? I still did it.

[ruinatings]

It was you, wasn't it?

[bad_crowmance]

[ He doesn't need to ask Rufus to clarify. Of course he knows. And of course Rufus does. ]

...You knew the whole time, didn't you?

[ruinatings]

I suspected, but seeing you now confirms it.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Crow shrugs. ]

Is that so? ...Figured I should at least stick around for the consequences.

[ruinatings]

If you weren't nursing guilt, you'd be angrier. But that's very mature of you.

[bad_crowmance]

You mind keeping that first part down?

[ No one needs to know he feels bad about this. ]

...Anyway, if I'm going to do something, I should at least be prepared for that much.

[ruinatings]

That's true. You've never run from responsibility.

[bad_crowmance]

Everyone's got a few character flaws.

[ He says it like a joke, though he's not really smiling. ]

[voreaciously]

[Just going to approach because, you know what, whatever, Crow's a big boy, he can tell her to go away.]

Hello.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He can if he wants to! He doesn't seem inclined to however, though he doesn't move from his position one bit. ]

Hey, 80H. How are you holding up?

[voreaciously]

That is my line. [...]

I am alive.

[That's about where she is.]

[bad_crowmance]

Well it's my line now.

[ He says it matter-of-factly. ]

Alive's better than the alternative.

[ Though "alive" is a relative term for her. ]

[voreaciously]

Thief.

[Just-as-factly.]

I suppose. I was prepared for it, in any case. Dying with me is...[She makes an elegant so-so gesture.

Of course, that isn't entirely accurate--it still blows, but whatever. She can't exactly change things.]

Complicated. Nevermind.

[bad_crowmance]

That's not the worst thing anyone has ever called me.

[ Crow raises a hand. ]

But if you're gonna tell me dying isn't a big deal, I'm not up for that conversation right now.

[voreaciously]

No...of course not, Crow-han. That was not my intent, I apologise.

[She is just making such a mess today.]

[bad_crowmance]

Alright then, we're good.

[ He gives her a sidelong glance. ]

I'm not sticking around very long, but if you want some company until then I don't mind.
