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. ]

[legis_vox]

All the while implying that being a "hero" involves inevitable and fatal sacrifice. A neat little propaganda piece for the opposition.

[potestatem]

Indeed. [ sighs ]

...well, nothing to be done about it but handle the damage. Did they heal you completely?

[potestatem]

[ considers himself ] Nothing... feels off? [ but there is a nice new scar across his throat ]

Re: ENDGAME

[legis_vox]

[peering at that]

Left you a memento, though, it seems. You'll have a story to tell after this.

Re: ENDGAME

[potestatem]

[ reaches up to touch his throat] And one I'll remember right now.

Re: ENDGAME

[legis_vox]

As you should.

[glancing down at his Chain, fiddling with the screen a bit]

Seems your sacrifice was rewarded.
