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!]

Sure.

Just don't expect a lot from me. Not sure I have any experience with this.

[malignstar]

[ Going to take her hand then and plant a quick kiss ]

[daydreamshimmer]

[She will kiss back, at least.]

[Despite her reservations, she had a boyfriend for almost two years, so she's not terrible. More awk from overthinking.]

[malignstar]

See, nothing to it. You're a natural.

[daydreamshimmer]

...I am?

[malignstar]

Sure. You didn't miss or look too nervous or anything.

Hmm, we need to share something.

[daydreamshimmer]

....huh.

[Taking off a sun hair clip.] This should work.

[malignstar]

Oh, this is pretty. Huh, what do I have?

[ Tries shrugging off his jacket ]

How about this?

[daydreamshimmer]

[HMMMMM] I do like jackets.

[Will accept it.]

[malignstar]

This one seems pretty chill.

[daydreamshimmer]

[Putting it on.]

Let's be fair, this is pretty easy for someone as friendly and likeable as you.

[malignstar]

Now, that is a compliment. I know you're a hard one to charm.

[daydreamshimmer]

That I am. I have very high standards.

[malignstar]

Well, I'm very proud to make the cut then.

[daydreamshimmer]

It is a rare feet.

[What kind of jacket is this anyway because Solar is absolutely gonna keep it. Jackets are awesome.]

[malignstar]

[ One with a lot of feathers. ]

Too bad I can't earn another kiss.

[daydreamshimmer]

[Hmmm]

[Will have to ponder that. Feathers can get everywhere.]

Not from me, birdboy.

[malignstar]

[ Shrugs ]

Had to try.

[daydreamshimmer]

I'm not interested in this stuff, wasn't gonna happen.

[malignstar]

Not interested in this stuff?

[daydreamshimmer]

Are you interested in making out with me as a pony?

[malignstar]

... uh, that's a good question... I mean, nose kisses are fine...

[daydreamshimmer]

And that's my point.

I was born a pony. Only reason I'm human right now is 'cause I figured you'd guys would be more comfortable with it.

[malignstar]

... oh, I get it. You want to kiss another pony.

[daydreamshimmer]

That would be the idea, yes.
