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. ]

Right. We didn't have the time to investigate all of the clues, so we ended up discussing matters with the other teams, who were off doing their own investigation.

I regret my own incompetence in the matter, but I was uncertain of the culprit myself.

Well, there's always a next time, right? And she's a regular ol' brainlord anyway, I'm not surprised she figured something out.

Do you know her well? Inasmuch as you can know somebody in this limited span of time, of course.
