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?

Do wait until we can separate that from the true Solar Flare. I strongly suspect taking out our anger on Solar will backfire as long as she is in that state.

I’ll worry about my tone if, when, and not before she faces me!

Well, then, if you are set on that course, if she is still in the demon form, would you mind being a diversion while the rest of us attempt to undo whatever has been done to her?

I do mind, actually! I'm not a punching bag!

Then why make yourself a target?

The trial's over. She has no power over me and there are no restrictions on my magic anymore. I'm not going to hurt her, but she's not allowed to hurt me either.

I'm not a target, I am consequences.

[Loki shakes his head, some of his smug bearing slipping to reveal real worry.]

I would consider the consequences of taking out your anger on her before the problems that caused her to transform are resolved. It may be that she never reverts if we do not figure out the solution to that puzzle.

The trial she put us through is over, but the real trial is still in progress.

I am allowed to be angry. Do you want me to sweettalk her into sobriety?

Sweet talk, no, not necessarily. But we can get much out of her from talking, if we choose our words carefully.

I'm not hearing anything that can't be done while mad.
