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.

What happened to her then?

[schrodingerscockroach]

We fought to the death.

[malignstar]

On purpose?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Kinda. Accepted it as a possibility.

[malignstar]

... I can heal her. At least I can try.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....were you a kami or a priest?

[malignstar]

Priest. I'm no danger to her.

[schrodingerscockroach]

More like are you up to full strength.

[malignstar]

I feel fine.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Not what I asked.

[malignstar]

I don't feel weak. How about that? I can handle this.

[schrodingerscockroach]

...only if you promise to not severely hurt yourself. And you only get to break a promise to me once before I won't ever believe them from you again.

And don't do it for anyone suffering the kami effect.

Because that is an incredibly stupid idea. [SINCE. BLOOD.]

[malignstar]

It won't hurt me. I'm pretty sure I only have to spill enough blood as it takes to heal. If it's not a fatal wound, there's no threat. I wouldn't force my team to deal with my death twice in one day.

And I'm not an idiot.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I have no idea how much blood it takes to heal a wound and honestly it sounds like too much.

And being an idiot has little to do with being a self sacrificing bleeding heart.

[malignstar]

It wouldn't be a good skill if it was too much.

Good thing I'm not one of those either.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Which is why you being weaker is a concern.

Now you're just lying to my face. For shame.

[malignstar]

It'll be fine.

I'm a knight.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yyyyeah.

People like to call bullshit when I say I'm a soldier too.

[malignstar]

Knights can't be bleeding hearts.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It's possible for soldiers in an active war to be a bleeding heart depending on the metal hoops, knights totally can be.

[malignstar]

Not us.

[schrodingerscockroach]

So you could kill dozens of people without a second thought if they were the enemy of your....king, I guess.

[malignstar]

I don't have a king. At least I don't think he's a king. He's pretty young. And kind of a dumbass.

But yeah, I would definitely take out anyone who tried to hurt him. That's what we do.

[schrodingerscockroach]

And sacrifice yourself for a lot of people.

[malignstar]

Would it make you feel any better if I told you that sacrificing myself isn't at the top of my things I want to do list? I'm not a masochist.
