The Fourth Trial

[hot_mess_express]

Who: Heroes
When: Day 9, Midday
Where: The Dragon's Tower


Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth.

The earth rumbles beneath your feet with a mighty roar. This time a crumbling stone tower looms above you, unscalable and unbreachable. At the top of the tower is a single window with a single light, beckoning. The only entrance at the base is an arched wooden door which creaks in protest when you open it.


Upon entering the tower you will find yourself in a large room with high walls constructed of dark, uneven brick stone. The ceiling is so high that you cannot see anything but darkness as torches lining the walls serve as the only source of light. The room itself is achingly cold. It’s reminiscent of a dungeon… or a treasure room.

But the only treasure to be found lies in the middle of the room; a small pile of seven bracelets, each one inlaid with a beautiful jewel corresponding to each team’s color. It may be fairly obvious, but just in case anyone is slow on the uptake:

“What is it that you treasure in this world? What are you willing to give up? Until you can decide that much, you will not be allowed to leave this room. It matters not to me if you rot in here.

However, I will tell you this much; should you decide who among you is most precious, only they may bear the weight of your altruism.”

Hopeless.

[cawnflict]

Very much so.

[ his own thoughts regarding villainy are... a little more complex, but if he can get away with just this, it's fine. ] Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go be villainous to someone else, too.

[saddleclub]

Oh? Who?

[cawnflict]

Giving it away isn't fun. Put some effort into your snooping.

[saddleclub]

Too much effort.

[cawnflict]

No such thing. You have to work hard for things like this to be satisfying, you know?

[ :^) listen he knows this is probably a nothing.

he's just vaguely being flirty. ]

[saddleclub]

[Going just sliiiightly red.]

I have no interest in making anything about you satisfying.

[Leave him alone.]

[cawnflict]

[ ha ha ha

caw caw caw ]

I'm not so sure about that. You seem to like talking to me too much, even if I'm annoying.

[saddleclub]

And here I thought you were enjoying talking to me.

[cawnflict]

Of course I am.

[saddleclub]

[........]

Don't just casually say that!

[cawnflict]

[ y'all good guys are just Like This.......... ]

But you wanted to know. I'd say you were even hoping for it.

[saddleclub]

[Holy shit leave me alone. Composing himself quickly.]

Is that your impression?

[cawnflict]

Impression. Alright, we'll call it that.

[saddleclub]

Do you tease everyone you talk to?

[cawnflict]

Nobody has that kind of energy.

[saddleclub]

I see. What is the requirement then?

[cawnflict]

Do you really want to know the answer to that?

[saddleclub]

I'm curious, yes.

[cawnflict]

You're just going to get flustered again.

[saddleclub]

I'll try to brace myself.

[cawnflict]

You can act like it, but you just got completely embarrassed. I don't think I can ever forget that.

So naturally, I am only going to tease people who give me reactions like you did.

[saddleclub]

...........





So you're some kind of sadist.

[cawnflict]

So I've been told.

[saddleclub]

You seems unconcerned.
