The Trials: Only Then Can We Begin
As noted in the OOC info post, your Trials will all begin on December 15th. As many of you will not be deposited into your trials with food and water (or any items of your own at all, in most cases), the Trials will last only as long as December 18th. If you've failed to complete your Trial by this deadline but have not used up all the deaths allotted to you, you will awaken by Maati's mana pool at the event's conclusion. If you have not failed your Trial by using up all your deaths, this will not count as a character death, and you will not need to submit for a penalty; you simply won't be able to obtain the reward you would get if you had succeeded!
Should you reach the end of your Trial, you will step out onto the rocky cliffs of Maati, exiting from one of the seven doors set into the cliffs at the seven points of the island's star shape. You see, those doors you discovered earlier weren't the entrances to the Trials at all. They were the exits. And set into the towering cliffs...why, those house the winding mazes that comprise the Trials themselves.
There will be a top-level below for each Trial. Remember to plan with your groups and communicate with your thread partners! Whether you choose to do mingle-style threads or lengthier group threads is up to you.
Once you know the outcome of your Trial, success OR failure, please do let us know so that we can ensure your character gets the reward that befits their triumph...or lackthereof.
Remember also to let us know if your character uses up ALL their deaths during this event. While death penalties will not be inflicted during Trial deaths, if you use up all the deaths allotted to you and die for real, your death penalty will NOT be reduced.

The Water: Don't Let Them Get Away
The rest of you have plenty to contend with as well, of course. If you've opted out of this month's event, be advise that the waters creeping across shores of Ensō, along with the rest of the island, aren't going to take evasion kindly. They'll seek you out, spread along every inch of the island if they can, until they can find you.

...What do you think they're going to make us do?
no subject
He remembers standing in a stranger’s home and asking why do you think the worst won’t happen?]
If I had to guess..... remember seeing your friend again? In October?
[He means Shiho. He leaves it at that.]
no subject
[ her voice is low. quiet. she remembers everything shiho said to her, about letting her down. letting her die. ann can't go back to that. she can't lose herself to the visions once more.
she's scared that she will. ]
No! This is bullshit! They can't do this to us all over again!
[ except yes.
they can. ]
no subject
Ann. You're strong enough.
If you're not, then you get there.
[That’s all there is to it. Be good enough- or probably die, but he doesn't say that part.]
no subject
[ how can he know that for sure? and yet, somehow, his words bring her confidence. the fire in her heart hasn't fizzled out just yet. she breathes in, then turns to look at him with more certainty. ]
You're making it out, too. We both will. No matter what.
no subject
He’ll definitely give it the old college try, he says without words.]
Might be best if we go separately. I doubt this is a group task, and our challenges might- interfere with each other.
no subject
[ laurent couldn't see shiho before, and she couldn't see what he saw, either. but if this trial is really going to test them, then it's going to get worse. she doesn't want to drag laurent into her mess again. ]
Good luck. If I run into you, I'll help you however much I can. I owe you for what happened with Shiho, after all.
