WHO: Some Sheep
WHERE: Pasture
WHEN: 105 Evening

[As the sun sets, you may be just going about your business, maybe looking for Blossom, maybe patrolling, maybe doing other shit simultaneously because time is fake!! OR maybe you notice a pigtailed weed, Queen, experimentally slicing her hand to see what happens and then. . .poof!

Ruh-roh!!

The two chat about SOMETHING for a couple minutes, before the little demon baps its hooves together. Before you can escape into the safety of your barns, all who were around are suddenly swept up, pulled in the middle of the pasture. . .with each of you at a podium.

You cannot move from the podium, but the podiums themselves can move around kinda like those. Moving scooter things in cities. beep beep. You can't leave the area tho.

The little demon speaks up:

Alright, maggots! Monomaton's here, and I've just got a simple question for ya!

What's the value of each of your mortal lives?

RULES (IC AND OOC)

[wooliefrand]

-POWERS ARE ON you just can't use them to escape the ritual.

-There are numbers on your Podium! At the end of the discussion, characters must pick where THEIR OWN lives belong on the spectrum by picking a number between 1 thru 9 (or however many people end up playing).

-THE CATCH BEING that there can only be ONE person per number, so like, everyone can't pick "1". If you try, based on when you plugged your numbers in, you will be automatically bumped down to a different number.

-You may "pick" your number HERE, ON THIS PAGE, WHICH IS SCREENED. You may change it at any time via editing your comment or just posting a new comment saying you're changing it.

-That said, characters can freely talk about this! You can all decide as a group what numbers you will pick. Just whether you all follow thru with it, that's up to you.

-For the record, the higher the number, the "less" value you think your life is. (so 10 would be a loser while 2 would be a winner).

[TALK AMONG YOURSELVES FOR UNRELATED STUFF HERE]

[despair_to_live]

I was really hoping to use someone else's blood, but... whatever. I'm over it.

ACTUAL GAME MINGLE

[wooliefrand]

[the little sheep demon raises a gavel

and then brings it down hard on a desk. DING. DISCUSSION START

But. . .something. . .isn't right. Slowly, but surely you feel something lingering over you.

Daffodil will feel like their skin is drying out, with bits and pieces flaking off over time. . .turning to sand. If they don't rate themselves (individually) they'll find they will dissolve into nothing by end game.

Lily/Ananke will feel something crawling over his skin. Beetles. They don't attack just yet, but the swarm increases the longer he holds off his decision.

Rose over time feels themselves gasping for air. Levi may feel like he's drowning or drying out, and Belle may feel slowly, but surely. . .is he aging? Hm.

Thistle/Odin feels something tugging slightly at his body, like gravity. If he doesn't put in a decision, he'll be crushed into nothing with his own power.

BB/Cres will feel little pricks all over his body. It's just mildly annoying at first, but the pain increases gradually, as if he's being stabbed all over. If he doesn't make a decision, he'll be impaled.

Weeds they feel thorny vines wrapping around their ankles. If they don't make a decision, they may be crushed to death.

But hey, no pressure!!

((if clover shows up I'll throw in something for them too!! but otherwise if you show up now assume you have the same pressure being applied as your other flockmates/weeds))

I'm number one no room for negotiations!

Re: ACTUAL GAME MINGLE

[hotnbothered]

S... So, what, we're just volunteering to die now?!

Re: ACTUAL GAME MINGLE

[secondbornsun]

. . . Tch. What a bad joke.

Re: ACTUAL GAME MINGLE

[strateelgic]

Well this is a bit unfair, isn't it? We all have to pick a number?

If that's the case, then I pick 5.

Re: ACTUAL GAME MINGLE

[heavyliesthecrown]

[He winces in discomfort.]

. . . How distasteful.

Re: ACTUAL GAME MINGLE

[poisonista]

Just end it quickly. I can already feel something wrong with me. I'll place myself anywhere between 1-5, no higher.

[despair_to_live]

[She just smiles.]

Re: ACTUAL GAME MINGLE

[spinebuddyandme]

[ stares blankly at the center-point of the floor for a few good seconds ]




I'll... I can take 9.

[shortforever]

[After arguing with Biscuit for a bit:]

Alright, 2 is mine then.

[despair_to_live]

I already chose to be first place, you know.

You suuuure you're going to leave it like that? Two people choosing they're number one?

It might be a good time to re-arrange your little hierarchy so the hyena-man doesn't get killed. Just a thought.

Re: ACTUAL GAME MINGLE

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . I will take 6.

[RESULTS]

[wooliefrand]

[FINALLY a loud buzzer sounds off. The effects that have been nibbling at them finally vanish, and they are free to step away from their podiums.

Well, most of them.

MonoMaton and MonoChop laugh together (BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO DEMONS NOW I GUESS), wagging their hoofs, and speaking in unison]

Wowie! I didn't expect that!

Did you know, did you know? We made a bet!

Miss Queen said you'd throw try to throw the Weeds under the bus!

And you certainly did for her! BUUBUUBUU

[but then they point at the sheep]

BUT BUT! Then you did decide to sacrifice yourself! And two of you, wow, extra credit!

How strange! I guess nothing's black and white, huh??

And neither of us lost! But we didn't win either. Hmmmm. . .

Interesting, how interesting!

Well for now. . .It's Punishment Time!

Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[wooliefrand]

[As the one to volunteer first--those scarabs? They swarm. Dozens upon dozens of beetles skitter about, climbing up Ananke's limbs, their mandibles snapping and tearing chunks of flash out as they crawl. Even if Ananke suits up, they seem to be powerful enough to break through the armor. Before anyone can move, at least one of his arms has already been stripped of flesh. It's not a great time!

Keyword being: before anyone can move.

Ananke WILL be eaten alive, unless someone jumps in to help him. His own powers can't remove the beetles, but others can. ]
