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?

But how did you end up in the water?

It was one of those stupid "pick who gets hurt" things.

We had something like that. But it didn't have any water.

Well ours did.

Did he give you the wrong directions or something?

[ Tone might be bordering on protective now ]

His directions were fine. We knew it had a chance of being a bad square and I volunteered my turn.

[ He's still feeling moody but he'll drop it for now. ]

... Do you want me to try healing any of this or do you just want a fresh jacket to wrap your leg until we get back? Maybe wait to yell at SF until after a warm shower.

[shakes her head]

Can you help me get to the pods? I just want to fix this completely. I'm not going to let her leave a scar on me.

Sure, I can handle that. No scars for Eliza.

I only keep scars if they're cool.

[which she still has her death scar from the Orochi's game on the side of her chest. but white snake scales??? of course those are cool.]

How do you know if a scar is cool?

By how I consider whether the cut of a dress would show it off or not. If it can't accessorize, it's out.

Good criteria. Maybe sometime after you're all healed up you can help me figure out how to accessorize this.

[ Run finger down his eye scar ]

We could probably do something cool with make-up.

Like a tattoo?

But totally more modifiable. Different looks for different days.

Oh, I like how you think!

It's all about art~

Maybe my first one should be a lizard. Be like having a little eye buddy. And it'll go great with the neck scales.

[ He runs his fingers dramatically down his throat, showing off the white shimmering scales there. ]

A lizard could be cute. Maybe a gecko?

That's the one that sticks to things with its feet, right? Sounds like a good trait to associate with.
