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.

It ran a trial.

I'll help you kill it.

And make sure you live because it doesn't deserve a lick of satisfaction of bringing anyone else with it.

[Because there had been some HESITATION at the idea of murdering anything, even something horrible.]

[NONE OF THAT NOW.]

[comingstorm]

...I see. No wonder everyone looks like hell.

[But that's odd, he doesn't feel like he was sleep walking.]

[daydreamshimmer]

Do you know how it was able to do that?

[comingstorm]

Unfortunately, no.

[daydreamshimmer]

Well, that's annoying.

One of Senna's newbies, he says he's a god and he actually has his powers and abilities.

What do you say to recruiting him?

[comingstorm]

I'm not that fond of the power of gods in general. Do you trust him?

[daydreamshimmer]

[She tilts her head.]

[Considers. She doesn't think he's a bad person. He's offered comfort and reassurance. But he's also cynical, enough to match her. Maybe exceed her. And he seemed pragmatic.]

[Ah, that could be an issue.]

I trust him with information about the situation, but I'm unsure on sharing your identity.

Would it be all right if I consulted with him?

[comingstorm]

Very well, if you think it prudent.

[daydreamshimmer]

[She nods.] If nothing else, I can compare and contrast divinity magic and makes it easier to catch any issues in regards to that.

Better to not have surprises.

[comingstorm]

Fine. Information is always valuable.

[daydreamshimmer]

That's what I figure. And he remembers things, which could help cut down the time a fair bit.

[comingstorm]

Yes. Hopefully. However, again, godly intervention is not a resort I'd like to rely on.

[daydreamshimmer]

Intervention?

But I'm already intervening?

[comingstorm]

You're barely a god.

[daydreamshimmer]

And somehow it's....different when it's a god?

[comingstorm]

I have beef, I believe is the colloquialism.

[daydreamshimmer]

But you've never met him?

[comingstorm]

With gods. On principle.

[daydreamshimmer]

....why?

[comingstorm]

...I really can't imagine, can you?

[daydreamshimmer]

Well, you got the evil one, but that's one out of....however many you have, I guess.

[This is the problem when Pony God is someone you can just meet.]

[comingstorm]

...Just the one, that has any relevance.

[daydreamshimmer]

Shouldn't judge all based on just one.

Like Celestia is a kind, benevolent ruler. And Luna tried to plunge Equestria into eternal night.

Then I guess she was taught to chill out on that, though I don't remember that, that's just context.
