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.

...Miss Eliza.

[bowtiedbones]

It's still just Eliza.

[voreaciously]

...Eliza-han. [look, a compromise]

Are you well?

[bowtiedbones]

I'm fine.

[voreaciously]

...Truly?

[she does sound oddly okay]

Ah...it was concerning name was removed from play.

[bowtiedbones]

... Were you worried about me?

[voreaciously]

[She hesitates. She does not want to admit to being vulnerable, surely that would not go well. She has not been the best person to Eliza, and she is not a good person. Having someone like her worry for someone is...

It would be better to lie, she thinks.

...]

...Yes.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh!

[making SUDDEN GRABBY HANDS at her, come here come here get down on the ground with me come here]

[voreaciously]

[hesitates before getting down]

[bowtiedbones]

[yeah guess what, she's getting HUGGED]

[voreaciously]

[..............]

You...you do not have to...

[bowtiedbones]

No, shh.

[voreaciously]

B-but--

[bowtiedbones]

Shhhhhush! No buts!

[voreaciously]

[she does not deserve this, but she listens and shuts up and tentatively hugs her back.]

[bowtiedbones]

[TIGHT COZY HUGGING!! her familiars’ ghosts mill around them, jealously fussy at someone else getting eliza hugs]

I’m sorry I worried you, but thanks for checking on me.

[voreaciously]

[this is a good hug.]

...Please, you need not apologise.

[bowtiedbones]

Okay, but I’m not taking it back.

[voreaciously]

But...

[she sighs very lightly.]

Very well.

[she's wearing gloves right now, but she still has her nails.]

...Thank you for the other day. I was not able to say so because I was not quite myself.

[bowtiedbones]

You did seem a little off.

[a BIT of an understatement]

[voreaciously]

Perhaps only a little.

[YEAH.]

I apologise for having you put up with me.

[bowtiedbones]

I didn’t have to put up with you. I could have walked off at any time.

[voreaciously]

I suppose so. Still, I know I was difficult [a beat] more difficult.

[bowtiedbones]

It’s okay.

[voreaciously]

IT isn't--

[no, listen.]

I beg your pardon, I am finding myself discussing my own issues. My apologies. I wished only to apologise and to thank you.
