WHO: You, some Sheep, & a Demon
WHERE:WHEN: Day 96, Evening

...darn. [ a yellow sheep in green wool throws his cards on the table with a huff, because this is the second game he's lost in a row. he could cut his losses, but the mischievous glint in his eyes as he collects & shuffles the cards says he's going for broke. ] Okok. Just one more hand, but this time it's for everything!

Another? [ the green sheep smirks and shakes his head, placing his cards on the table to be reshuffled. ] As expected with you... just know that the probability of you winning the next hand is exceptionally low.

[ spade snickers, ] Hah, we'll see about that. [ he deals the cards and puts on his poker face, ] I'm not going to let you and your numbers beat me. [ again. ] Let's do this. Game on, Club. [ the sheep play another hand, but this time spade wins, and he looks infuriatingly smug about it. ]

[ this time Club tosses his cards on the table. ] It was dumb luck. That's all.

uhHuh. It's always 'dumb' luck when I win. [ he brushes off club's comment. ] But you know what this means, I get to decide who we summon. [ he swipes the cards off the table and slams down a book that looks like a four year old made. ] And because I'm feeling so lucky I'm going to let the dice decide. [ he produces a pair, which he rolls immediately. ] Oho. [ flip flip flip BAP. ] It's going to be this one. Do you have a knife?

That seems like an ill-advised idea. [ he leans back and opens his own book to read instead, feigning disinterest. he holds up a knife once prompted, sliding it across the table. ] But it's your funeral.

[ spade cuts himself and draws the rune on the table. he waits and waits and waits and... nothing. ] It didn't work. [ he starts collecting the cards he swiped aside. ] I can't believe it didn't wo- [ as soon as he sets them down in the middle of the run it colors, light exploding outward and summoning a demon. ] Oh! It did work, would you look at th- HRK!

[ the demon, one-of-a-kind, sets his massive claws on each of their heads until their eyes and the suit adornments on their wool start to glow red. ] Did you two really summon me without a proper sacrifice? Now that just won't do. [ his eyes land on the cards scattered around and he chuckles darkly. ] Well how's about we fix that with a little game?

Forget it. I'll just go make some myself.

You're a mess. How picky are you with your tea?
eonsadrift: (213)

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-08-07 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine.

...I have simple tastes. As long there's no sugar in it, I'll drink it.

[ gives him a Look, but- ]

Roger that, shep! I got you. This time.

[ teleports back across the field, taking the laundry with him. brb.


what tea do they even have back at the barn ]

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-08-07 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ a bunch of floral teas and some green tea ]

...

[ just kind of watches him teleport off ]

What an annoyingly useful ability.

[ a few minutes later, he teleports back with a large cup ]

One green tea, no sugar. Here you go, shep.

[ He accepts it, taking a small sip. ]

...not terrible, I suppose. You show more promise with each day.
failsaver: (hehe | 008)

[personal profile] failsaver 2024-08-10 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. I'm still not calling you 'boss'.

Or dad.
eonsadrift: (055)

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-08-12 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever, I don't care.

Have you settled on an actual name for yourself, yet? Or are you just letting everyone call you "Kid" or "Greenie?"
failsaver: (hehe | 005)

[personal profile] failsaver 2024-08-12 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
There's also "Brat".
eonsadrift: (296)

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-08-13 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I'll start using that one, if you're so resistant to picking a real name.

failsaver: (huh? | 002)

[personal profile] failsaver 2024-08-13 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Why don't you pick an original one for me, shep?
eonsadrift: (047)

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-08-14 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Asking me for a name, huh..?

How about Kozo?

[personal profile] failsaver 2024-08-15 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
What's it mean?

... And what's wrong with asking you for a name?
eonsadrift: (296)

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-08-15 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
It can be written several different ways. Sometimes you can include the characters for "happiness", "luck", or "creation".

...but it also means "brat".
failsaver: (hehe | 007)

[personal profile] failsaver 2024-08-15 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

Kozo, at your service.

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-08-15 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
You're just going to accept that..?
failsaver: (hehe | 002)

[personal profile] failsaver 2024-08-15 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't I? It's accurate enough. Easy to say.

And... I guess it's nice to be considered for that long, by someone that isn't trying to kill me. Thanks, shep.
eonsadrift: (067)

[personal profile] eonsadrift 2024-08-15 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Hah. Well, it's your decision.

...is that so... How often do people try to kill you?
failsaver: (hehe | 008)

[personal profile] failsaver 2024-08-15 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Every other day? Sometimes every day. Sometimes twice a day.

It depends.
