The Fifteenth Trial: Senna

The weird castle/steampunk aesthetic continues in the room, but there’s a bit more of an almost… Prop, vibe to the room. Everything feels real, the stone and the wood are solid, but there’s a certain look like it was taken right out of a fifth grade play with princesses and dragons in the way the stone walls are built, and even the gothic iron window looks vaguely cartoonish.

The room is large, and at one end is a set of five tables, each with the names and colors of the other teams.

Directly in front of you on another table is a big scroll. A quill pen and ink pot sit next to it.

A vase of lycoris and moon lilies decorates the table. There are chairs and couches if you want to sit.

Then, in this case...

We'd be better served through the selection of traits that others would associate with us, by far...

[ ... who would ever willingly describe themselves as some of these. ]

Instead of describing ourselves as a whole, I wonder if we should just describe Naeva-dono? She has the most presence of the three of us...

[ he doesn't mean that as an insult to either of them it's just. Naeva. ]

Of course.

[ shuts an eye ]

In that case - among these terms, which do you feel others would most likely make use of in their descriptions of her?

"Noble", "Courageous, "Chivalrous", "Kind"...

What would you describe yourself as, anyways? You probably know more people than I do too.

Me?

[ dipping the pen in the ink pot, looking down at the list ]

"Kind," I suppose... "useless," "academic," and either "sadistic" or "masochistic"... It'd bear a bit more thought.

[ uh.


... actually he's not going to argue with any of that but ]

Well I don't think we should circle "sadistic" or "masochistic".

[ thanks kashuu ]

I'll be circling hers, in that case.

[ you're very pretty elaine ]

If that's alright... I'm a little worried though. I didn't think it would be so important to get to know the other teams.

It does appear to be the object of this place, to form such bonds...

Though I've been remiss in my own efforts, certainly. Loathe though I may be to confess such...

[ ... if naeva was here they would do fine, ]

Is there anything you do know? About the other teams...

Of each of them, there are three prior acquaintances of mine that are members of Jasmine, and two that have been placed on Clover, though whether or not I may claim to understand them by these traits is rather...

... Rather, that is something I'm uncertain I may say.

At least you know more people than I do... which makes you a lot more useful in this game than me.

Either way it's worth a shot, right? If you overthink it you're going to get wrinkles.
