auroraexpress | The Third Trial

Who: Heroes
When: Day 8, morning
Where: Outer Space

[ A familiar silence takes hold of the jungle, and just as before the unsettling stillness erupts into a heavy gale, shaking the Aurora. Also familiar to most is the call, echoing in your mind:

Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth.

This time, instead of either the house or the tent, there’s a glittering void, points of light twinkling in the air. As you step into the space it expands, seeming to consume you, the Aurora, and all that exists in general. There’s a feeling of vertigo as this happens, frozen lights swirling all about you, an obnoxious giggling echoing from -- in front? -- behind? -- everywhere?

“Welcome, welcome, welcome!” rings a lilting, sing-song voice, mischievous and just a slight bit unsettling in cadence. “Darkness comes in many forms, so let’s see how good you are at sniffing it out~!”

The lights seem to dim, or maybe it’s just your vision --

“Oh, and remember, remember, remember! Everything that happens…

...happens because of you.”

-- and then it’s over, your vision returns, and you find yourself in the gilded foyer of what seems to be a manor. ]

[Don't fucking call him out.]

I do't suppose he'd be well-pleased to hear such nonsense. I'd keep it to yourself if you meet him.

[He's embarrassed as fuck leave him alone.]

[ Tfw Ciabatta would act the same, but is a hypocrite if it means he can make fun of a noble........ ]

Oh. Of course.

[ he's lying. ]

[WHY AM I BEING BULLIED.]

You could at least lie with some attempt at being believable.

Sorry, sorry. This is just my favourite pastime.

What, exactly? Being provocative?

Yeah. You should try it sometime.

I have been informed my very existence is provocative enough times.

Is that right? You should be proud of that.

Excuse me?

It's a good thing to be able to bother people.

[ don't. don't listen to this guy. ]

No it is not.

No? So it makes you sad when people tell you that?

[Leave me alone wow.]

Certainly not. But making life difficult for others is not a good policy.

Maybe. But on the other hand, it's better to make it harder for them before they make it harder for you.

[ ... ]

Besides, it's kind of cute.

Pardon?

You're too easy of a teasing target.

[HOW DARE]

I most certainly am not!

[ He's... just giving him a long, flat look.

You definitely are, kiddo. ]

[I don't need this from a rude bird! Composing himself.]

I didn't get your name.

[ yeah you do. ]

Ciabatta. [ He never got a fake amnesia name so he's just pretending that he managed to remember his own... it'll do well if anyone actually finds it out, anyways. ] It's nice to meet you.

[Why are you guys like this.]

Jusis.

[ i can bully 2 cutes with 1 stone ]

You remember yours now too?

[YOU!!]

I never forgot it.

Ah, you're one of those then. [ A small shrug. ] Isn't it weird, remembering when others don't?

I think it's more weird that others don't remember when I do.
