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?

I am Solar. And favoritism in a trial would mess up the data I was collecting.
no subject
.... I thought you were supposed to be my friend.
no subject
I've said since day one I wouldn't be a very good friend to have. And yet it insisted, over and over.
[She moves her hands over the inscription.]
But if someone doesn't fit, then no amount of force will make it so. [And she rakes her claws over the words.] I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
no subject
[He wants to just stomp away and give her the silent treatment. He probably still will anyway, but something about what she says, how she says it, piques his interest. And one thing, if nothing else, could be said about this boy is that his curiosity knows no bounds.]
What does "fitting" have to do with anything?
no subject
Trying to fit into a place someone doesn't belong, where even adapting doesn't succeed, it all gets tiring.
Burdensome.
Annoying.
If nothing is going to change, there's really no point in continuing to try.
no subject
[The rest causes his head to tilt.]
... Then you move on and find the place where you do fit. Or you find a way to be as you are in your own way. It's not hard.
no subject
You say that like I already haven't. What do you think this form is for?
Well, really, the result of just doing the latter, but I do like the bonuses that came with it.
no subject
But I don't understand. Solar is a nice, good person, and I liked her as she was. Pretty, very smart, very helpful. She always answered my questions. And she was nice about it!
[Gotta be firm on that.]
no subject
And don't lie, I will know.
no subject
I wouldn't have liked to see it, and I would have felt a little sorry for Solar. But I probably wouldn't have been too upset as long as I knew she would be okay.
[Now, if she were in mortal peril? Yeah, that would probably have been a lot more impactful, but "badly hurt" was relative.]
no subject
no subject
[He frowns, suddenly realizing something.] Was this supposed to be a prank? Because if so, you went way too far. You should only hurt someone if they deserve it, you know!
[He thinks back, trying to figure out where he went wrong.] ... Did I do something to make you hate me? Did I ask too many questions?
no subject
The point is, you're extremely apathetic to people to. I wouldn't be surprised if you were fine to see me injured if it answered a burning question at the same time. I was just more proactive in the hurting. [She makes a dismissive wave.]
And I knew you'd be okay. Healing was always to come after the trial.
no subject
But... I don't think... I wouldn't just hurt her, or anyone. Not unless they deserved it.
And! And I've only known Solar for a day, and I don't know anything else or anyone else any more than that...
[No, he's angry again. Frustrated with the situation. With her. With himself.]
But I am not okay. This wasn't okay!
no subject
[Solar shrugged.] A lot of things aren't okay. That's why I'm tired of trying to fit in.
no subject
[He crosses his arms and mutters:] You were doing just fine, I thought. But I guess what I think doesn't matter to you.
no subject
no subject
[Arms still crossed, he stomps his way towards the door.]
[He does stop for a moment to turn and look towards Loki and Penric. They were supposed to be a Team but... there's not really much he can do. And she obviously didn't want his help anyway.]
