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?

Holiday stew? What's in that?

[ He raises a brow at that last comment. ]

I don't know. I like salt quite a bit.

Or is this one of those mer people things?

Fish. Potatoes and whatever else you have for root vegetables, like onions or fennel. Cream. Garum for flavoring, and a few other savory spices, though I think Mama Rei had to use fish sauce instead of garum.

And it might be. You've tasted what happens when I cook.

[Cat does seem to think 'acceptably salty' is about the levels of seawater].

Sounds filling. I'd go for it.

And I'll live. Just with some cholesterol issues.

[ He snickers a bit at the last line. ]

Cholesterol?

Too much salt makes that go up, right? Or is it down? I gets those two confused.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Awesome. Escaped feeling stupid by default!

And it is holiday food. You don't make it every day.

We don't really have holidays here. I guess there's nobody around to celebrate unless we step in. Do we even know how months work on the stars?

No. We could just declare that 30 days or 4 weeks is a month, and have a holiday at the end.

[ Claps his hands together ]

I'm down for monthly holidays. When do we start?

If we use thirty days, the next one would be on the nintieth. That's about four weeks from now. Every four weeks out be... the eighty-fourth. Three weeks.

[ Seems to be adding things up on his head as well. ]

Maybe we should try making some sort of calendar.

Like a physical calendar?

Yeah! That everyone can use.

We could get paper enough for a poster. And someone must have ink and pens.

We could use sparks for those!

Yes, but we might check if someone already did

I guess we can ask around first. Maybe hit up the Chain for a quicker response.

DO you want to, or should I?

I can do it unless you're really feeling the scribe.

NO, go ahead.

Leave it to me then!
