Fifth trial
[Just as you believe you’ve gathered enough to make a case, the sky crackles a hazy red.]
Enough! Enter the arena at once!
[There’s a change in Typhon’s tone. The bluster of his usual pride replaced with a more tangible frustration. Like the thunder he summons, his rage punctuates every word.
That matter aside, all the survivors eventually return to the arena. The mood is dour, not helped by the surrounding. For the first time, this place was a fresh murder scene; bloodstains and scorch marks continue to stain the stones. It seems that there just wasn't time to remove Ferdinand's body from the scene. So it remains, impaled on his own spear, left to fill the void of Ferdinand's absence from the surviving party in the worst way.
Again, a rift opens beyond the barrier, and Typhon forces his head through.]
You know why you are here, do you not? Now, go! Complete your task, find the culprit or die trying!
[TRIAL START]

cw oops all sacrifice
What part "all of this was a stupid, useless, pointless, idiotic, ridiculous, one-big-waste of an idea no matter how or when or who did it" do you not get? Did you lose any sense you might've had suddenly or have you always been this obtuse?!
cw oops all sacrifice
[ She rears slightly at the noise, hooves ringing sharply on the ground as she drops back down. ]
What, am I to stand aside and watch mortals die for me? Am I still so selfish?
1/2
cw oops all sacrifice 2/2
Nah.
Quark leans back in, and full out snarls.]
I would wish you to live!
That's exactly what I would wish! If you being selfish is what it takes for you to live instead of throwing yourself on some stupid sword--or spear in this case--[he gestures derrisively to Ferdinand's corpse]--in a way that no one asked for or wanted, then yes, that's what I wish! Why is that so much to ask?!
Why can't any of you self-sacrificing morons just be a little more selfish?!

Well, what if you were the one who ended up dying for my negligence? What would I do then?
no subject
Why is it only alright with you if I'm the one who gets to sit around without you?! Does that make it okay, suddenly? If you're the one who doesn't have to live with your actions, is it all acceptable?

[ She bursts out angrily. Who hasn't she already outlived? Only Celestia, who also thinks Luna ought to simply live on with whatever happens. ]
How is it right for me to let you lose your life, when you have so little of it to begin with?

[ She would be sacrificing herself for something, not just for funsies! That's her decision! ]

[Yeah, he's not calling her Luna anymore.]
