The Fifth Trial
Who: ALL
When: Day 11, noon
Where: Outer Space
Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth.
[ That familiar silence befalls everything following the call, and just like before the third trial 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 and once again it's all accompanied by obnoxious giggling.
This time, however, when the darkness fades, you're...
Back inside of the Aurora? No, this is actually an entirely different train. Outside the windows, you can only see wispy, dancing lights illuminating the surroundings, which you can't quite make out. The doors outside don't open. ]

Re: ENDGAME
-- ah. . .
[oh]
What a stupid trial.
Re: ENDGAME
[ brightly ]
Really, tell me. I missed out.
Re: ENDGAME
The goal of the trial was to save as many passengers from zombies as we could. The more passengers we saved, the more at-risk we became of being attacked by zombies ourselves.
At the very end, despite the cautious choices we had made until then, we were told that someone would have to sacrifice themselves to matter what.
[his hands clench into fists]
I got angry.
Re: ENDGAME
Well, the passengers weren't real, right? I mean, this was a game.
Re: ENDGAME
[they weren't real, he tells himself, as the dying cries of their sacrificed passengers echo in his head]
Yeah. I don't think they were. They were just. . . constructs, I think.
[. . .]
That was my logic for refusing to sacrifice anyone in that last round.
Re: ENDGAME
Re: ENDGAME
. . . but it was difficult to come to a consensus.

[he says nothing]
Re: ENDGAME
Hey, you okay?
Re: ENDGAME
[a little distracted]
Oh, yeah. I'm fine.
I'd like to heal your teammate, but she won't let me.
