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?

Hey, hey I didn't say you're evil. I said your new aesthetic is kinda leaning in that general direction and it might be something you want to consider.

What's suddenly so easy?

[daydreamshimmer]

Harmony magic. Getting my body back. All too easy. It's quite a feat.

I like my new look. I look amazing. [Preens.]

[malignstar]

I thought you said magic wasn't easy.

[daydreamshimmer]

Felix, please do keep up.

That's why the powers that me of THIS place are suspicious.

They made a device for me to change back easily. They do sparks easily. That's why it's suspicious.

But this form...

I don't need them for it.

[malignstar]

Doesn't that sound even more questionable? That you just got that form out of nowhere?

[daydreamshimmer]

Oh, it wasn't out of nowhere.

I've felt this fire before. It's mine.

[malignstar]

But something had to have stoked it, right? It's not like you willed it to happen.

[daydreamshimmer]

Well, that's the mystery.

But that was just a trigger and it's passed.

[malignstar]

I wouldn't say it passed...

[daydreamshimmer]

You're being awful judgemental, Felix.

[malignstar]

I get more judgmental when I get more worried. It's a thing.

[daydreamshimmer]

No wonder your friend thought you wouldn't accept him.

[malignstar]

[ He pulls back jerkily at that. ]

I didn't mean... You're just not acting like yourself right now. I don't want anything to use you.

[daydreamshimmer]

Ah yes. Worried about someone and calling them evil.

So very similar things, aren't they?

[malignstar]

I'm saying what's affecting you, it's probably not good for you. And it might be evil.

[daydreamshimmer]

On what basis?

[malignstar]

You don't know how it happened, for one.

[daydreamshimmer]

Except most of that mystery would be at home.

[malignstar]

Why do you say that?

[daydreamshimmer]

Like I said, I felt this fire before. When I used my magic.

[malignstar]

How did you feel back then?

[daydreamshimmer]

Powerful.

[malignstar]

Anything else?

[daydreamshimmer]

What else do I need?

[malignstar]

Did it feel weird at all?
