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!]

I really don't think it is. When you talk to him, it's pretty obvious he's not used to complicated social interactions.

He knows kisses are done for 'good' relationship things, so clearly kisses must be good for bonds.

Then someone should really teach him better. I don't mind complimenting or gift-giving, but that last one's too much!

[ even though... it would have been nice to win.... oh well. ]
daydreamshimmer: (I don't like this)

Working on it, but there's obstacles. [Sighs.]

How would you feel kissing a pony? [Listen, if she can get a kiss form someone no one can, she'll take the points.]
dragonheartedgirl: (You want me to what now?)

[ Well now she's. Very lost. ]

A pony....?

[ uhhh. ]

... Well I guess... that's no different than kissing a kitten or a puppy is it...?
daydreamshimmer: (Pony: Oh its fine)

[personal profile] daydreamshimmer 2020-03-11 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Talking ones, at least.

[And sudden pony.]

But I figured I couldn't care about kissing humans because I mean, you all just look kind of weird to me. Doesn't feel like so much.

You're a horse! A--talking horse!

[ will this place ever cease to amaze ]

Pony. Not horse. [Very Firm On That.]

Specifically unicorn. We're one of the dominant species on my homeworld.

[ leaning over to get a better look at her horn. ]

What's the difference between a pony and a horse?
daydreamshimmer: (Pony: Yeah that might be dumb)

What's the difference between a human and a monkey?

[ Sorry, she still hasn't quite figured out she's said something offensive--and as such is responding to the question as though it was genuine. ]

Well--we can talk, we have significantly less hair, we don't live in trees or throw poop...
daydreamshimmer: theshadowstone @ DA (Pony: Its so terribly hard)

Communicating doesn't always require verbal words.

Do you want to be called monkey girl?
