The Thirtieth Trial

[hot_mess_express]

Who: Trial players
When: Day 63, morning
Where: Trial zone

[The trial zone doesn't exactly appear to be inthe best shape. It's the ruins of an old building, something once grand, perhaps a castle, with a strange statue of sorts with six spheres leading to a large seventh on a pedestal. It's possible t see a forest beyond the walls, though find a way out to that seems impossible, and plants have overgrown almost everything.]

[On the statue's pedestal is an inscription:
Three tribes that brought a storm,
Winter brought them to task.
Eventually things would become warm,
What in return did springtime ask?]

[Not so far beyond it appears to be stairs leading down into the earth. And to the side of that is a throne.]

[And on the throne is....someone new in Senna colors? Though perhaps the hair is enough of a give away. Though those with a keen eye may yet notice she's still wearing her geode still, with the distinctive cutie mark still on it.]

[She's lounged across the throne, legs kicked over one side, elbow resting on the other, head in hand.]

I'm bored. [And she offers a grin that has a dangerous glint to it.]

How about we play a game?

[ Probably going to look over that inscription after he talks to Solar. ]

Looks like this is another fighting trial.

Nothing about this is a good sign.

Re: MINGLE

[malignstar]

Something happened to Solar.

Re: MINGLE

[bowtiedbones]

I noticed.

Re: MINGLE

[malignstar]

She sure doesn't want to.

Re: MINGLE

[bowtiedbones]

I doubt there's going to be any convincing her until this trial's done. Whatever's in her system has to run out.

Re: MINGLE

[malignstar]

You're probably right. I just want to know what caused this.

Re: MINGLE

[bowtiedbones]

Stress, malice, or both.

Re: MINGLE

[malignstar]

I've never seen Malice do something like this before.

Re: MINGLE

[bowtiedbones]

The trials Thyme held when he was affected could be comparable.

Re: MINGLE

[malignstar]

I meant I've never seen it happen to one of us.

Re: MINGLE

[bowtiedbones]

There's a first for everything.

Re: MINGLE

[malignstar]

This is one of those times I wish that wasn't true.

Re: MINGLE

[bowtiedbones]

With the precedents of how it can already affect us, this was a logical next step. If it is indeed the malice and not an aspect of Solar Flare's own psyche.

Re: MINGLE

[malignstar]

The way she explains it, it could be a bit of both.

Re: MINGLE

[bowtiedbones]

The fallout from this won't be good...

Re: MINGLE

[malignstar]

Maybe if we can keep ourselves safe as much as possible...

Re: MINGLE

[bowtiedbones]

That may be all we can do.
