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.

[ Unlike so many others... Chiharu is fortunate. She wasn't caught up in...whatever all of this was that happened to people. But she can see the horror, shock, pain, and disgust in everyone's eyes. And her heart hurts.

Quietly, she kneels down at her side and very gently rests a hand upon her back. ]

Sohma-san...

[marezydoats]

[ She looks up at Chiharu, her eyes wide and barely focusing on her but the screaming has at least stopped. The trembling however has not, and Rin wraps her arms around herself as she shakes. ]

[ . . . What happened? But no, it doesn't seem appropriate to ask, and that's not really the main point right now, is it. What happened doesn't change the fact that events have unfolded to a point that this girl before her has been traumatized.

Gentle, her arms wrap around her tentatively to bring her into an embrace. ]

It's over now. It's over...

[marezydoats]

[ Rin wants to be strong, she really does, but it's so much and she needs a few moments to tremble and cry in Chiharu's arms. ]

[notafruit]

I... I have you.

[ It's alright. She doesn't have to be strong. No one can be strong all the time, and while she doesn't know the details... she doesn't understand what everyone, in particular, went through, she knows she's suffering. And right now, the fact that she is in pain is all that matters.

Her grip tightens. ]

You can cry as much as you need.

Rin wants to be strong all the time, already thinks of herself as weak. But at this moment, she can't be strong-- she's not strong, and she's going to cry for a long time until the shaking and trembling finally stops.
