[SAPPHIRE and TIGER'S EYE]

[dramatispersonae]

*Slowly, your cage approaches another team's. They come together with a smooth click: the doors are now joined, though still locked. you may speak to the other team through the door, or reach through the bars to pass each other items.

In the box, three new items have appeared.*

A fresh trial will come in half an hour. Will you feel comfortable facing it with these items?

You may discuss and exchange objects with the other team through the door; any trades, however, must be fair. An item for an item.

*you have: a single docile pennytoad, a zippo lighter, and a coil of sturdy wire.*

Um... Shouldn't we know more about the trial before being asked something like this?

[... pokes the pennytoad...]

How would this be useful, anyway...

...She doesn't seem...too bad... So maybe it'll be okay?

These items seem pretty versatile... But what is this?

... I suppose a hint about what kind of trial is too much to ask for.

[ganbareist]

... Well, If it's a capturing thing again, the pillowcase will be good.

Hey guys, what did you get?

Re: [DOOR DISCUSSIONS/TRADES]

[haveaniceday]

We got a lighter, a... pennytoad, and some wire. How about you?

Re: [DOOR DISCUSSIONS/TRADES]

[lablueboy]

A toad, a coil of wire, and a lighter.

Yo, how's your cage over there?

Re: [DOOR DISCUSSIONS/TRADES]

[... waves???]

Hot, mostly.

Re: [DOOR DISCUSSIONS/TRADES]

[haveaniceday]

We're fine, thank you! It's not comfortable, but it could be much worse. How are you doing, Spark-san?

[ROUND TWO]

[dramatispersonae]

*In the firepit, an image forms in reds and golds: the team in the opposite cage.*

With your chosen three items, and your knowledge of these heroes, how would you capture one of them? Which one of them would it be, and why? What sort of pursuit would you take, or what kind of trap would you craft? Be imaginative.

You must use everything provided, and you have one hour.

When you are ready, throw your objects in the fire and then tell me your answer.

Re: [ROUND TWO]

Ahaha... What kind of test is this?

Re: [ROUND TWO]

[exchanged]

The wire's going to come in handy after all.

Re: [ROUND TWO]

[willheblend]

[excuse me, lol]

I'd tackle them.

Re: [ROUND TWO]

Boy, I hope this stays metaphorical.

[ Hair is a mess THANKS GUY. ]

We would target Kitten from the other team, because he's a familiar person, and it's likely that his capture would be the simplest with minimal injuries.

Using... the apple tied to the end of the pillowcase, which has been stripped and tied into a long rope, we'd use it as a projectile to tangle his feet should he try to escaped. Once down, we would restrain him long enough to bind his hands and feet with the pillowcase as well as rope fashioned out of the straw.

[throws the items into the fire-- :( toad]

We would approach Souya first, because he might let us get away with it and because he seems to care about everyone in Aather, even the wildlife. We would try to distract him and lure him in with the toad, and then we would tackle him. To get him to stay still and tie him up with the wire, we would ask him first, then we would threaten the toad with the lighter, and if he still didn't care, we would threaten him with the lighter directly.

If that didn't work, we would go after Dusk-san because Kitten-san knows him, or after Spark-san because he knows me. We would ask them to come over so we could talk to them, distract them with the toad and set up the wire so someone else could pull from it and make them trip. Then someone would force them to stay still on the floor threatening them with the lighter while someone ties up their feet, then their hands, and we would tie them to a tree.

*the objects--even those that shouldn’t burn--are consumed instantly. The firepits go out and vanish.

In their place, the open gate reappears, leading back to the Ring!*
