The Fifth Trial

[hot_mess_express]

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. ]

... I tend to agree. Though evidently that wasn't the point of the trial.

Eventually we'll figure this kind of thing out.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissoff]

[ he sort of laughs at that. kind of. he's tired. ]

... and you? What choice did you make?

Re: ENDGAME

[cawnflict]

We played it moderately, apparently. The sacrificing was mostly unintentional until the end.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissoff]

... so you were given the same choice at the end?

Re: ENDGAME

[cawnflict]

To fix the train or to fight?

Re: ENDGAME

[hissoff]

Yes. That one.

[ ....hm... ] I had thought we were given that 'choice' because of our previous actions, ... but if you were given the same...

Re: ENDGAME

[cawnflict]

I was hoping you'd have tried to sabotage us.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissoff]

... so sorry to disappoint you. But sabotage seemed far more trouble than it was worth.

Re: ENDGAME

[cawnflict]

At least that makes sense.

Re: ENDGAME

[hissoff]

You must have thought so as well. I noticed you didn't move to sabotage us either.

Re: ENDGAME

[cawnflict]

...no, but you can be assured that I would have retaliated.

[ how DARE you ]

Re: ENDGAME

[hissoff]

[ how dare he what? read you? ]

Oh I'm sure! So you see, it wasn't a wise move on either of our ends.

Though I'm a bit surprised. You must be quite attached to your team.

Re: ENDGAME

[cawnflict]

They're not too bad.

[ The best way to not be shamed is to ADMIT IT FIRST!!!! Or try. He's trying. It's still had. ]

But your team is fun, too.
