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.

[A little bloody but uninjured, going to immediately come fuss over Randy.]

You made it.

[crimeson]

[just pulls rufus into a hug, sorry about the PDA]

Yeah. You too.

[ruinatings]

[PDA is okay today. Today was bad. He's going to openly pet Randy because that seems really necessary, and he'll... just try not to think about castmates being in the room.]

This must have been a hard one for you.

[crimeson]

[Sorry About This, Towa]

I dunno... I couldn't have handled eating anyone, but I was the damsel.

[ruinatings]

Ah, well then. In this instance, I'm glad you were. As much as I enjoy you as the dashing hero.

[crimeson]

I keep being the damsel for these... I'm noticing a pattern and I'm not sure I like it!

[ruinatings]

Maybe you should show off your manliness til they understand.

[crimeson]

They didn't even do it while I was a hot chick! Seriously, rude!

[ruinatings]

...

[Sigh.]

Yes, that's tragic.

[crimeson]

...Did I miss something?

[he's very stressed pls be kind]

[ruinatings]

[Very close to Randy's face so he can say this quietly--]

I do have my own reasons to tell you to show off, you know.

[crimeson]

[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[ruinatings]

Now you see.

[Pats. Randy's arms.]

[crimeson]

[KISSING HIS CHEEK EXCITEDLY]

Well, I can always show off for you.

[flex]

[ruinatings]

[There is a war raging here, between thirst and dignity. A battle for the ages in Rufus' head.

Ultimately... He surrenders.]

Then I suppose I'll play the maiden to your hero for a moment, if you like.

[Pick! Him! Up!!]

[crimeson]

I'd love that, my love.

[SWOOPS HIM UP INTO A PRINCESS CARRY]

[ruinatings]

[Yes! Strong arms are amazing!!

Of course Rufus is very externally chill. His voice is completely deadpan.]

My. What a fine strapping young fellow.

[crimeson]

[nuzzles him affectionately though.]

To the rescue~

[ruinatings]

And so charming, too.

[More pets for Randy!]

[crimeson]

[LEANS INTO]

And where shall I take my gorgeous rescuee?

[ruinatings]

Hmm... Somewhere romantic and unusual. The beach perhaps?

[crimeson]

The beach I can do!

[AND WE'RE OFF! Sedately carrying him off, no need to rush. Rufus wouldn't want to be undignified about it.]

[ruinatings]

[Of course, he has to be an elegant princess.]

Lovely. A new lesson might be in order, I think.

[crimeson]

Mmhm? What've you got in mind?

[ruinatings]

You're the instructor. You tell me.

[What in the world could we do alone on the beach at night??]
