The Second Trial

Who: game participants!
When: Day 5, night
Where: ~outside~

[A silence abruptly descends upon the jungle. For a moment, all is calm, and then a heavy gust of wind blows in, making the Aurora sway. In your mind is a call some of you have heard before:

Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth.

This time, however, there’s no worn-out house. Instead there’s a large tent -- dirty and imposing, with a jet black flag above it, it looks like a command tent right out of a medieval battlefield. The canvas is spattered in mud and blood, and white feathers are scattered all around it, carpeting the ground for several feet.

By your own will or by unexplained compulsion, you are drawn to the tent, to meet your second Trial. As you enter, a man’s voice, clear and resonant, rings out.]

“O unfortunate pawns of the Light, answer me this: What is Justice?

If they wouldn't let you risk your life, they must at least not hate you. Or perhaps I should say "you should be glad you landed amongst such a kind group of strangers".

... Yeah, I guess. Functionally it kinda screwed us over, though.

Hmm, yes, well. There was a chance you'd die for real if you went in, so I can't blame them for being upset.
crimeson: (can you stay one more hour?)

That was at least within expectations, though...

...Didn't I tell you earlier that Jusis would be upset if you died? Expectations or not.

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-19 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
You did, and I accept that he would be, but my dying there felt like it would be karma.

Also, he was trying to go in as well.

And yet, I'll have to respectfully request that should this happen again, you not die.

[I mean Jusis also can't die but like. Neither of you can die especially if Rufus does! You'll have to take care of eachother.]

...But you can protect him.
crimeson: (i'm sorry i bring you down)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-19 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
...I can at least promise to protect him. And take your opinion into account, if I feel like I should die.

I suppose I'll have to accept that, for now.
crimeson: (i'm sorry brother)

It's my best offer for the moment, but we can always revisit it later.

But you should try not to die too, you know? If you're asking it of me.

Oh, I won't.

[hahahahahaha]

Thank you for your concern.

[that sounds like some bullshit but he's not up for pushing it right now.]

Any time.
