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?”

No. There was always a risk. But it wasn't sure it wouldn't turn out, either.

Yes. Nevertheless, I'd have been... disappointed, had someone really died.

Disappointed. Really? I'd have been livid.

[You know if he hadn't been dead himself.]

You do tend to feel more strongly than I do.

[but... headpats. cautiously.]

Jusis. Don't sacrifice yourself.

[Blushing actually. He likes it but also don't treat him like a kid!!]

I could say the same to you. Your life isn't forfeit.

--What?

[wait who told you--]

Don't be eager to throw yourself away.

I'm not.

[not really. it was just... a little close to home.]

Giving in seemed like the "just" thing to do.

...

[He has no room to talk and yet.]

I'd still you rather preserve yourself better.

...

[but I'm already fuuuucked]

I'll try. I promise.

[that's a fake promise for money]

[Why are you the worst.]

I'll be quite mad if you do not.

Even angrier than you already are?

I have infinite capacity to be ticked off.

Haha! Now that's not something I taught you.

[Are you sure he's not taking after you actually.]

I am flawed in my own unique ways.

[please don't]

That's true. You're a very different, very cute person.

[Don't bully??]

What-- brother!

I sincerely hope you never grow out of that reaction.

Why must your entertainment be trying [and succeeding] to fluster me!

Do you dislike it?

[Don't call me out.]

I... I don't dislike it, I suppose.

Then I've no reason to stop.

[Anyway isn't this better than fighting and avoidance?]

[I'm going to die. My brother is personally going to murder me.]

I'm not a child.

[Huffs, embarrassed.]

No. But I'll always remember your childhood fondly.
