auroraexpress | The Thirtieth Trial

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?

Or this one was trying to become that.

[And guess who is wishing for Des's supernatural sight to come back]

How do you feel?

[Let's be fair, Des might like her because she is technically a being of chaos.]

I feel amazing. I have access to my magic, I have wings, and there's so much power.

[Given Des generally acts like a territorial cat around other demons and is scared shitless of the god of chaos, being made of chaos isn't actually helpful. Pen tends to have more sympathy for other demons than Des does.]

Just don't let it burn you up until you know your new limits.

[This is serious, and not just because she's on fire.]

I don't know enough about pony magic... or whatever this is to advice. If you were a new sorceress, I might have some insight.

[I don't want sorceresses in our unit, Pen. Let them join the others.
Also, will you ever show some caution? ]

[Fair enough, that.]

[She laughs.] Oh, I doubt that will be a problem. I have even more power than I do as a unicorn and I'm quite the powerful unicorn.

This isn't even pony magic. The things I can do, the things I just know how to do....

This is something new.

New like what?

THat's probably not a helpful question, is it.

It's really not.

Maybe a new species. I know how to make others like me. [She shrugs.] Not quite as strong, of course, but certainly more than a non-magical creature.]

I'll pass. I don't know how it would interact with having Des with me. I don't think there is room for both her and another sort of magic.

[Or so many other things; but it is a true statement.]

....now that IS a thought.

[Actually sitting up, looking at him thoughtfully.]

I can change a body into something else. I wonder if that means I can make a body?

[Even evil, MAGIC IDEAS are always a delight.]

Last time I checked, adult females of most sorts could do that trick without magic.

[Deflection, but mostly trying to get Solar Flare off topics that are worrying].

I don't mean foals. For one thing, it'd be a lot faster.

Not a lot. You'd gain gestation, maybe...

[Pen, you are not helping dissuade her]

... but it's probably not something you can really focus on at the moment, given all this. Back of the mind, yes?

Monthes versus moments is a big difference.

Yes. I'm seeing to other things first.
