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.

[Towa has never had that problem with anyone ever in her life and while the chaotic jumbled mess part of her brain is quite pleased.

The more important part is running over to hug him tight. He really is okay...]

[awakenerd]

[Oh. He holds her tightly, it's fine. If he can pat her hair and calm her down even a little...]

Hey, hey. It's okay.

[overworker]

N-no, I... I’m sorry... it’s probably not safe to be near me but I still...

[She wasn’t able to stop herself, even though she knows she probably shouldn’t, like this.]

I was just so glad to see you again...

[awakenerd]

It's okay. I'm pretty strong. So don't worry about me.

I'm sorry you had to go through all this.

[He's going to keep hugging her, shh.]

[overworker]

No, I... I'm okay.

[She's not okay, but she wills it to seem that way at least.]

But I wasn't able to do anything for my team. And now... while I'm like this...

[Her expression hardens.]

I'm still a danger. I shouldn't be... I shouldn't be here.

[She tries to wriggle free, just a little bit. She's scared--]

[awakenerd]

[He tightens his hold just a little. He doesn't like making people stay against their will but she's panicking so he's not letting go.]

Take a few breaths. You're safe--and everyone else is too--as long as I've got you. Trust me?

[overworker]

I'm safe, but-- what about everyone else? I... what I did there... I don't ever want to do that to someone again.

[But she tries. She tries to listen. Her brain keeps screeching but she forces herself to breathe...]

[awakenerd]

I can't make what happened go away but I can promise you that while you're in my sight, you won't hurt anyone.

I promise that I'm here for you.

[overworker]

Rean...

[Towa relaxes a little bit. She's always clung so selfishly to the promises that Rean was so willing to make. Maybe just once more would be okay...]

A-alright.

[She sniffles a little bit.]

I trust you. So I won't do anything foolish.

[awakenerd]

Okay. Good.

[He gently ruffles her hair again.]

Anything I can do for you otherwise? It's been a rough game.

[overworker]

The fact that you came to check up on me now is more than enough. I don't want to cause you any extra trouble.
