The Thirtieth Trial

[hot_mess_express]

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?

Comments

[voreaciously]

...That was not necessary.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It definitely was.

[Hmmmm, gonna do another one just to be sure.]

[voreaciously]

It was not, it would have healed quickly in time.

[schrodingerscockroach]

And you wouldn't have done anything about the pain in the meantime.

And since I could help, I did.

[voreaciously]

I did not feel anything, really. Just a minor annoyance.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I have literally been in that body, I know there's something like nerve ending.

[voreaciously]

[the reminder makes her stiffen before she can stop it, before she forces herself to relax.]

I am aware.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Bodyswap is less of a minefield for him then hearts. That's just shenanigans there.]

And you've healed minor bruised knuckles for me, about the same.

[voreaciously]

You do not heal as quickly as I do. It is only the responsible thing to do.

[schrodingerscockroach]

I also heal quicker than most so that doesn't hold much weight. You really should just accept I'm a fussy mother hen.

[voreaciously]

[she sighs]

Honestly...

[schrodingerscockroach]

You can't pretend you're surprised.

[voreaciously]

I am not.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Good.

Honesty would also do you well because I'll probably assume worse.

[voreaciously]

I was being honest.

[schrodingerscockroach]

If you would not accept the answer from me, I'm not gonna accept the answer from you.

That honest.

[voreaciously]

That--you are different.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Of course I am, I actually get my injuries taken care of on my own volition as long as nothing dire is about to happen.
