The Twenty-Eighth Trial

[joybound]

Who: trialgoers
When: Day 60 all day
Where: the trial zone and elsewhere

[Sometime this morning (morning? there's still no sun, so what's the difference), you feel the call to a new Trial.

The entrance to the Trial Zone is a new one: a tower has sprung up in the clearing, like a bit of a fairytale castle. It's made of a sparkling pink granite and has lovely star-themed carvings -- if you can see them behind the excess of neon and lights its been decorated with. If the fairy godmother made a dance club, this would be it!

Rather than a disembodied "come hither", your call is a video on a big screen above the entrance -- a young man in a masquerade mask and a flashy, witchy costume (including a big hat) stands... on top of the tower?? It's hard to see up there, but on the screen you can tell he's got twinkly star-filled hair and a black cat with blue eyes perched on his shoulder. He's also striking a pose.]

Heroes of Distant Stars, gather 'round! I, the mysterious and handsome witch of love, have a Trial for you! Come into my party tower and prove your love to me! If you're not a weenie, that is...

[Upon entering the tower, you find yourself in a vast ballroom. Lit with rainbow lights, magic sparkles, and an excess of blacklights and glowing things, it really does look like a club. Bubbly electronic pop blares over the speakers, though there are several tables and curtained-off booths if you'd prefer to avoid the dance floor. One table includes infinitely re-filling glasses of fruity soda, which lower inhibitions incrementally as you consume them (though only for positive urges). If you wish to get even more in the mood, there's a changing room with costumes -- all hybrids of fantasy and neon pop, just like the decor.

Time to get your love on!]

...oh? Now you want us to play a game?

[Well, fine. Yuurei will play.]

Someone really has a thing about romance.

[First the heart candies and now this. If anything, she's amused.]

[daydreamshimmer]

Prince is all about go big or go home for affectionate feelings.

[misinforms]

Well, he certainly went big in this case.

[daydreamshimmer]

As he does.

So problem with the five pointer?

[misinforms]

Oh I don't have any issues with it. By all means, that does seem the most logical way to go about playing this game.

[daydreamshimmer]

There is that. [Stepping close. Still unsure how to do hands, but can lean close.]

[misinforms]

[With a smile, Yuurei will lean in and give her a kiss on the lips. It only lasts a second or two, before she leans back smiling.]

See? No harm done.

[daydreamshimmer]

Harm isn't a worry.

Though its certainly nice dealing with someone pragmatic about it.

[misinforms]

Well that is how you should look at a game, isn't it?

Let's see... as for gifts... I don't have much, but I do have these.

[Naho takes one of the red clips out of her hair and holds it out in her hand.]

This should do, shouldn't it?

[daydreamshimmer]

Definitely. Getting all worked up about silly things just makes it harder to win.

That's why I raided the closet here. Though at least I looked for jewelry that is personal to me.

[She will accept the slip and hold out a sun charm bracelet.]

[misinforms]

Clever. Very nice, thank you.

[It's cute, she'll wear it.]

[daydreamshimmer]

Certainly easier than going to raid my closet. I generally buy things 'cause I need them, can't give them all away.

[malignstar]

What's wrong with romance?

[misinforms]

Oh I don't think there's anything wrong with it. But it's not quite the genre I expected when I was brought here.

[malignstar]

Does that mean you're not looking for a kiss? And we're a fantasy world, of course there's romance~.

[misinforms]

Oh? Are those the rules for fantasy worlds? I hadn't known.

[If anything she seems just short of laughter.]

I never said that. I wouldn't mind one if you're looking to give them away.

[malignstar]

I am always looking to give away kisses.

[misinforms]

Well then, by all means.

[malignstar]

Got any preference?

[misinforms]

If you're going to kiss me, you should at least do it properly.

[Yuurei please]

[malignstar]

Your wish, my lady.

[ Sets a thumb beneath her jaw so he can tilt her head back as he goes in for the kiss ]

[misinforms]

[Well she asked for it. And she's not disappointed. She'll even return the kiss up until the moment it's broken.]

...not bad. You're actually quite the charmer.

[malignstar]

I do my best. Did I meet your expectations?

[misinforms]

You certainly did. Well done. You're not a bad kisser.

[Is that a compliment? She seems to think so anyway.]

[malignstar]

Thank you, my lady. I enjoyed yours too.

[ He is super easy to please. ]
