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.

Whether that was to Laurent or Ignis was unclear.]
I'm not a bodyguard, and quite frankly he's- [a gesture towards Ignis] not remotely in need of protection. I'd just be obligated to snap your arm in half if you struck him.
no subject
[The blonde is settling back into himself. His breathing may still be shallow but the source of danger has changed- and nothing encourages self-restraint like an imminently threatening cryptid. ]
Oh, Laurent, you’re rolling over already? [Ignis is patronising. It would normally make him furious, but Laurent responds instead in a dead tired deadpan:]
If you’re looking for a fucking idiot, I’m afraid my husband is currently occupied.
[The specter of Ignis pauses, as it becomes evident that Laurent is no longer interested in bait. Not with Ardyn Right There. But then again, speaking of Ardyn…. ]
But Ardyn- [-the specter starts, changing targets.]
no subject
[Ardyn rolled his eyes, transitioning almost disturbingly smoothly into a sharp glare at Ignis.]
Quiet. Honestly, if you were real at all you of all people would know how useless it is to appeal to sympathy I don't possess.
He's right, you know. [Said the young man in blue that was now hovering over Ardyn's shoulder.] Elder brother's a terrible unfeeling monster.
no subject
[Now that the crisis has been averted, it’s very much time for him to scram. The blonde takes one step back and sees Ignis dissipate, the specter retreating with a frown on his face, and then another specter appearing as replacement. Laurent stops, and stares.
He doesn't like owing favours.]
....that’s not true. [said innocently, with no particular emotion behind the words- he’s merely correcting someone on a fact they got wrong.] Ignis says he's a monster with a heart, and Ignis is much more reputable than- who are you?
More accomplished than you’ll ever be, [Aimeric snickers behind him, and Laurent sucks in a breath and relaxes his hands and pretends he hasn’t heard.]
no subject
Somnus Lucis Caelum. Founder King of Lucis, and replacement to my corrupted elder brother.
[Ardyn scowled at Somnus rather than Laurent, clearly holding himself back from pulling a sword.]
He’s naught but a monster acting like there’s anything human left of him. It’s tragic, truly. My brother is dead, and that thing is merely wearing his corpse.
no subject
[Later he’ll realise that Ardyn is what, the Lucis Caelum family tree has got something fucked up going on, but for now Laurent just concludes his very agreeable speech and starts ignoring Somnus. Whenever there’s slander he’s usually on the side of the slanderee, on principle, but it feels nice to actually say it for once.]
-is he wrong for once? Everyone believes him all the time. For good reason, but. I think you prefer me to get lost, rather than gently rehabilitate you out of here.
[he wants to get lost so badly please]
no subject
no subject
[please this is not a hill worth dying on,]
I'm getting the hell out of here, okay?
[Unfortunately, the shape of the dungeon meant that he’d be stuck in the same corridor for a while more, but the least he could do was to get a move on towards the next corner.]
