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. ]

[saddleclub]

Those are terrible gift ideas you're very bad at this.

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

I mean, I would just kiss him to make him feel better but I'm not sure that would work out well for you!

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

[............................]

That wouldn't work out for me, no.

[Are you just. Rubbing it in now???]

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

[ for once he is not ]

But you can get him things that aren't people! Like, for example, magazines!

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

I don't think a dirty magazine is a tone appropriate apology gift for this level of argument.

Perhaps... Are you just bad at people, Cypher?

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

I don't remember being good or bad at people, and also, Cypher isn't cute. . .

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

Then it fits you since you aren't very cute.

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

Mean!

[ with a huff ]

Well, what about something you think would be good for him? Like, since Randy is cute!

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

.... That's where I suppose I'll have to think about it.

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

Mmm, right. I've got an idea!

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

....Yes?

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

[ opening jasmine's car ]

This way, this way~

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

[Following like okay sure]

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

[ opening up a door :D ]

I was thinking, since neither of us know very well~ We should just cut the guessing games and find out directly! I'm sure he must have things he likes in his room, so here we are!

[ it's like just a room full of booze ]

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

....So let me get this straight. We're infringing upon his privacy without regard to his feelings, to snoop out what he likes so I can find an idea for a gift to make up for disregarding his feelings in the first place?

............


Very well.

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

Pretty much.

[ a beat ]

I mean, if you want to apologize for this too, then you can just roll the two apologies into one. Or I can handle that one and you can handle the other one?

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

[Siighs.]

No. I'll handle my apologies myself. I suppose I should thank you for trying to help, as well.

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

If you need help with learning how to kiss him, I can do that too~

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

Excuse me?

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

[ leaning in, helpfully and subtly herding him to one of the corners of the room ]

I'm not too bad at it, you know.

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

[What. What? He is definitely stepping back, trying not to trip on anything but also not quite noticing he's being cornered until there's nowhere left to back up.]

I think--You may have gotten a wrong impression.

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

Have I?

[ gently, not so subtly pressing his hands against the wall behind him. kabedon ]

So you're not interested at all, even a little bit?

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

[He can't help it if his gay heart does a doki even if the rest of him is mildly... Alarmed? Not deeply alarmed yet just confused.]

--Are we talking about you or Randy now?

Re: ENDGAME

[fisherofmen]

I don't see why it couldn't be both.

[ a beat ]

But selfishly, I would like it if it were about me.

Re: ENDGAME

[saddleclub]

[Honestly his mind is just desperately trying to play... Catch up. To how he ended up corned and trapped against a wall in Randy's room by a guy he barely knows??]

....I think... Perhaps I lost track of the progression of things somewhere...

For Randy, he's a friend, nothing more. For you, I don't even know you. It's not as if you're unattractive of course. But this is rather abrupt.

[The first guy to show any interest in you and this is how you react you are hopeless Jusis.]
