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. ]

It was a lot of... finding and reading other people's mail. Actually. In the end.

Did y'all even get to see the bodies or anything...
ewestmarch: (hmmm)

Sure. I didn't have time for an autopsy, though, which I regret.
stakesthesame: (Pink Flag)

... aw. What's the fun in that.

I'm sure someone enjoyed themselves.

[Adjusts gloves. She's glad to be out of there.]

Maybe you'll get another chance eventually.

[A short, sorta humorless laugh.]

To cut someone open? Maybe someone will be dumb enough to be murdered on our train.

[Wouldn't put it past intelligent beings in general.]

Oh, gross.

...

You think that might happen?
ewestmarch: (stare)

A bunch of people in an enclosed space... If our resources ever get scarce, I guarantee you'll see some killings.
