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.

[ reviving sucks, but more importantly - ]

[ YOWLS IN DISTRESS ]



[ why does she have scales!!! ]

[malignstar]

Meridian!

[featherbeaned]

[ yyyyyooooOWWWLLLLL ]

Felix! I! Have scales!

[malignstar]

It's okay. I've got them too. Look.

[ Turning his head to show her the white scales on his neck ]

I think they're kind of cool.

[featherbeaned]

It's not okay! They're ugly! My feathers, Felix!

[malignstar]

You're not ugly. Lots of dragons have scales. Look, they even sparkle. And if you want, we could probably paint them with one of your nice colors.

[featherbeaned]

I'm not ugly, I'm very pretty.

[ sorry ]

It's just these fecking scales that're an eyesore, and they're not mine.

[malignstar]

That's why we can paint them so they look more like you. I bet nail polish would do the trick.

[featherbeaned]

[ Shakes her head firmly ]

I'm getting rid. [ Somehow. She will Find A Way. ] Then you can't paint my claws.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[THERE'S MY DRAGON.]

Meridian! [Approaching, but also like....stopping a fair distance away because like]

[Sure did Fight To The Death.]

[Gonna gauge her reaction to him before closer.]

[featherbeaned]

[ Yowling becomes a YIP becomes a SQUEAK as she startles up onto her feet, feathers poofing. Stares at him ... ... ... .... ... ... ... ... ... ... ]

Dusk! It's, it's awful! I have scales!

[schrodingerscockroach]

.... [omg]

They are pretty awful.

Totally mess with your cute feather thing.

[featherbeaned]

I'll tie that fecking snake in knots for this! [ she's so mad, dusk ]

[ she is so, so mad ]

They're so ugly. [ Her poor gross, bloody feathers, all askew and ruffled and marred with patches of scales. ] I gotta fix it. Help me fix it!

[schrodingerscockroach]

....well, I ahve an idea.

But it's something we should talk about in private.

[Because people would hella judge and not let us do it.]

[featherbeaned]

[ Well! In that case! She makes an immediate beeline out of there, try to keep up. ]

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Out of here we goooooo.]

You're definitely gonna hate one part.

[featherbeaned]

I'll like it better than these awful things.

[ Despite how objectively Awful their fight to death was, she doesn't seem to have any trouble walking alongside him now. ]

So, what? What's your plan?

[bowtiedbones]

Meridian??

[featherbeaned]

Don't look at me, Eliza! [ SHE'S SO ]

[ SO DISTRESSED ]

My feathers, that bastard of a snake ruined my feathers!

[bowtiedbones]

Oh! Oh he put them right in the middle of your coat! We’ll get rid of them, don’t worry, you don’t have to keep them.

[featherbeaned]

They'll come off?

[ Scratches at them-! ]

[bowtiedbones]

[the shadows around her put out a large scaly claw to paw intangibly at the scales too. helping!!!]

They will, don’t worry, so don’t scratch yourself too much! I’ve used sparks to get feathers and a brand off before.

[featherbeaned]

[ Pauses mid-scratch ]

Feathers? When d'you have feathers?

[ ... Noses at the shadows, too, cheeping a greeting. HI DRAGON FRIENDS. ]

[bowtiedbones]

There was a mean trial and I ended up with feathers on my arms, but they weren’t pretty like yours. It was all itchy and sparse.

[the shadows reshape themselves into several different snouts, nosing back. hello hello!]

[featherbeaned]

Blegh. Sounds awful! You should have pretty gold feathers like your hair, maybe curly ones.

[ Her tail gives a bit of a gentle swish, softly thumping. ]

[ BOOPS EVERY INTANGIBLE SNOOT ]
