My Trials trick
Aelyn Somniac says like a Witch Trials announcer: And for our next trick: Tohya's A Tale of Another World. Tohya, if you please?
Aelyn Somniac beams brightly.
Miss Tohya StompyWitch coughs softly
Miss Tohya StompyWitch speaks in a harsh whisper
Miss Tohya StompyWitch says in Morporkian with a Morporkian accent: I shall tell you a story...
Miss Tohya StompyWitch sings a tale of men of steel, women of stone, and the works they produced to bind their world to them: towering buildings, eternally busy machines, and the assurances that theirs was the only path they could ever follow.
The air around Miss Tohya StompyWitch begins to thicken, just as their cities conquered the air around them as they devoured the world, protecting their trembling inhabitants from everything that is outside and destroying it so they will be troubled no more.
Miss Tohya StompyWitch tells of a people who noticed too late what they had built and what they had destroyed. She whispers quietly of the fears that overcame them, and the fires that raged as they fought each other for the remains of what they could once have had.
Miss Tohya StompyWitch falls to the darkened earth around her, shattered, broken, and ruined, as did the once-mighty towers and machines after their final triumphs over both the land and each other.
You stand quietly, thinking about the story that you have just been told, almost not noticing small, mournful little purple flowers growing around the exhausted body, in silent defiance of those who wanted to take a world for themselves.
Miss Tohya StompyWitch stands up
Miss Tohya StompyWitch bows.
Aelyn Somniac says like a Witch Trials announcer: Thank you, Tohya, that was lovely.
I only ended up with time to write one trick - I didn't have enough inspiration for a valentines themed one. it was originally going to be based on The Logical Song by Supertramp, although then I ended up listening to Be, and things ended up taking a far, far darker tone. I had to cut this down quite a bit from the originals, as the poor little stone was getting hideously bored during recording it.
The Trials were, as ever, great fun, obviously, and hopefully a good time was had by all! There were a lot of great tricks this year,and I'm glad I wasn't able to vote, as it would have been far too hard to pick. Everyone who competed (And even a few members of the audience!) put in a huge amount of effort to help everyone enjoy themselves.
