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?

Comments

[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?

[daydreamshimmer]

Of course not.

[malignstar]

If you say so...

[daydreamshimmer]

I'm far more concerned for my comfort than you seem to think.

[malignstar]

I'm just more concerned for your emotional state.

[daydreamshimmer]

Then don't be.

I'm fantastic.

[malignstar]

I'm just saying, that last memory seemed to shake you up a lot. And now you're sporting demon wings and running a trial you don't want to talk about.

[daydreamshimmer]

Do you not get the concept of a surprise? And what's wrong with demon wings? Des has demon wings and she's nice.

[malignstar]

Isn't Des a demon? They're supposed to have demon wings.

[daydreamshimmer]

So what's the problem with demon wings?

And these are more like dragon wings anyway.

[malignstar]

They're not yours. Not the everyday you anyway. Even if it's your power, I think something's still messing with it. And I think you should care a lot more about that.

[daydreamshimmer]

Neither are hands. Frankly, if I cared too much, I'd never have peace.

[malignstar]

Yeah, but we've seen that in most of your memories. We've never seen this.

[daydreamshimmer]

We also haven't seen me with the half way form or the light wings.

I was in your head with the latter. Or his head. Both your head?
