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?

... That's rather ominous.

But alright.

I don't mean for it to sound that way.

[but eventually . . . he's in one piece.

Don't mind him, even after some healing he's just. Going to lay there for a mo']

[he faintly shakes his head, pushing himself up to sit after a moment]

Just . . . very sore.

I can imagine, but I don't particularly know anyone to know what would make a particularly scathing heal.

It's fine . . . I think there's a limit anyway, healing isn't doing much.

I left immediately, as the summoning left me weak and severely ill. I'll admit, part of it was to avoid retaliation while I could not defend myself.

( the other part is that she always struggled to face the results of her crimes head on. )

I assume that it's the former- I haven't been sick in a very long time.

I am, yes. I have been dead for at least a century.

( she's not surprised yata's team knows. he seems... attached.

its a good thing. )

Mm, thought so.

[Yata didn't tell him much, but he's sure seen plenty.

Shifts so he's sitting properly and not like, hunched over like his insides are still melting]


He went home.

( she's quiet for a moment. and then, softly: )

If I follow, I will kill him. If we stay apart, my master will instead. This place was the one opportunity I had to remove him from that.

More.

I don't want it to be him. But I've already sworn obedience, and if I don't, another will. Keeping him here, or finding a way to turn him human will be his only hope.
