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?

That Tearal probably helped, huh...

Maybe use Arts next time, if that's more your speed. Well, if this sorta stuff comes up again. Let's hope you don't need to.

[Honestly I just need to use my invulnerability art against you clearly.]

I'm adept at physical combat. Hand to hand is simply not my strongest point.
crimeson: (but i won't wait much longer)

[yeah probably]

Haha... I'm more of a spearman, myself. Though my real talent lies with guns.

[someone please stop this man he's too powerful]

[Why are you just... Crow.]

...I see. It's quite something to have two proficiencies.

But you are avoiding your agreement.
crimeson: (believe me)

[Crow 1.0 in the house]

What a stickler...

I was upset, that you didn't agree with me, even having seen that memory. But I wasn't lying when I said that was also fine.

Why in Aidios's name did you expect that memory to sway my opinion?

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-19 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
'Cause it had a similar feel, to me.

I suppose from a certain angle. But that doesn't mean you should just do whatever you want. You yourself conceded your role of leadership. You can't don the mantle of responsibility whenever it suits you.
crimeson: (just by the side of the tin man)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-19 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right. Though it's also true that I only halfway ever managed to settle anything about that situation.
crimeson: (believe me when i say)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-19 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
After that memory I left without a word to explain why or anything. So a couple of years later my family came 'round knocking telling me my old man had died, and it was time for me to come lead them as the new War God.

I eventually got them to back off, and managed to at least get it into my Uncle's head, a little bit of why. But I lost the chance to tell any of that to my Father.

I see. ... family can be difficult.

[Especially fathers.]
crimeson: (for the both of us)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-19 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Nooooo kidding.

[personal profile] saddleclub 2018-12-19 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry you never got closure.
crimeson: (but i won't wait much longer)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-20 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
It's pretty much just my own fault.

[personal profile] saddleclub 2018-12-20 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like everyone was stubborn, not just you. It's not that I don't understand having pigheaded relatives.
crimeson: (for the both of us)

True enough, true enough.

[personal profile] saddleclub 2018-12-20 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
So, you can't take sole responsibility.
crimeson: (i'm sorry i bring you down)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-20 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, but it's always pretty tempting.

[personal profile] saddleclub 2018-12-20 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well stop it.
crimeson: ('cause these walls are crashing down)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-20 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
Workin' on it.

[personal profile] saddleclub 2018-12-20 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
Very well. I'll accept that.
crimeson: (i'll take the west train)

[personal profile] crimeson 2018-12-20 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
Appreciated.
