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!]

Are you really suggesting we should go along with this, and--and go around... kissing people?!

[ HAVE YOU NO SHAME?! ]
thunderbeast: (So that's a no?)

[ DID HE SAY THAT? No. DID HE THINK THAT? ...maybe...something like that. ]

I guess you're cute enough. I wouldn't mind you kissing me.

It's not like it's the only thing to do though. You don't have to get any points, if you don't want to.

Oh, those drinks made you really drunk, didn't they?

[ Ignoring, for the moment, that backhanded "compliment" was just a little insulting--there's just no way he would say something like that to her in his right mind. She's fairly sure. ]

I think you'd better go sit down.
thunderbeast: (Not saying a word)

...I think they are making me feel just about right.

[He looks over at the lights flashing nearby before grabbing her hand and dragging her off. ]

I think we should at least go dance.

[ WOW you know who has a monstrously strong grip when he wants to? And is also built like a house so when he wants to drag you somewhere--well, you're going??

it's this dude, apparently. ]

You want to what now!?
thunderbeast: (Wait...)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-03-11 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Dance, Princess.

[ Okay, he's doesn't know if he can dance at all but the colors over there are fascinating and he wants to check it out. ]

Or is the problem that you don't know how to dance?

[ so RUDE ]

Of course I know how to dance! Hand me a fan and I'll show you. And I told you to stop calling me that!

[ honestly at this point

she might be following him on the hopes of tripping him on the dance floor, based on the expression she's making. ]
thunderbeast: (General mode get)

[personal profile] thunderbeast 2020-03-13 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think this is the 'fan dance' sort of dance.

[ The flashing lights and neon might give it away a little. ]
dragonheartedgirl: (tsun shout)

[personal profile] dragonheartedgirl 2020-03-15 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm perfectly aware of that!

[ quick distract from... her own blunder. ]

I bet you don't know how to dance for this stuff either!
thunderbeast: (color Hak)

Not a clue.

[He has no shame in admitting his lack of ability in this particular skill.]

I have faith that we can figure it out though. Don't you?
