The Twenty-Eighth Trial

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!]

Y-yeah... I don’t think they meant anything bad by it but still...

[ this girl... seems really nice and understanding. ]

I don't mind giving gifts or compliments, but... kissing... that's just a little too much, isn't it?

[ she gets it, right? ]

It's definitely a lot to ask.

[Towa absolutely gets it.

But if gifts and compliments are fine then--

Towa gently lifts her hand to touch a few strands of hair at the side of Dahlia's head, smiling. She takes the gold ribbon out of her own hair and gently ties it into a pretty bow at the side of her head.]

There. Heehee-- You have really beautiful hair. It really compliments your eyes quite nicely.

That's very kind of you. ... Actually, you've been very kind in general--and patient, and a good listener, putting up with my complaints.

[ should she compliment her eyes or her hair in turn? or is that laying it on too thick? --she's probably over-thinking it. ]

I'm Dahlia. What's your name...?
