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?

. . . Tch.

Three.

[hotnbothered]

What?! That's not fair! Then I'm four!

[secondbornsun]

Respectfully, what part'a any'a this is fair t'ya?

[hotnbothered]

Obviously none of it! But why should anyone else just sit back and agree while others arbitrarily claim the highest numbers?!

[secondbornsun]

No one's stoppin' ya from doin' the same, yanno? Ya snooze, ya lose.

[hotnbothered]

I just said four!

[secondbornsun]

And I never contested it, did I?

All I'm sayin' is, if ya wanna talk 'bout fairness, your fellow Weed's the one ya wanna pick a bone with, yeah? We regular flockfolk ain't even capable of summonin' demons, yanno?

[hotnbothered]

[ Tenses for a moment defensively, then forces herself to relax and roll her eyes. ]

I've already expressed my opinions to her quite clearly.

[secondbornsun]

But in the end, you're fine with playin' along, huh?

After all, you're the only one here who actually has a choice in that.

[hotnbothered]

[ Glares at him. ]

What are you even talking about? I can't remember the last time I was exempt from one of these rituals.

[secondbornsun]

What, you didn't know?

Weeds can summon demons whenever, even in the middle of a ritual, yanno? And sure, Weeds ain't usually exempt—but the summoner . . . Well, that's a different story.

[hotnbothered]

[ Her eyes go wide, betraying her obvious surprise to hear this.

Then, after a few moments, she glances at Queen. ]

That clearly isn't always the case.

[ But she still purses her lips in thought. ]

... What would summoning another one accomplish? Wouldn't that just make matters worse?

[secondbornsun]

[ following her gaze to Queen ]

You sure it is? 'Cause she sounds like she wants t'be here. Seems t'me like it's a matter of choice.

[ then a little shrug ]

Whether it makes matters worse or not depends on the kind'a demon, yeah? Not like they're all bloodthirsty.

[hotnbothered]

[ Another silence. She gets the very clear sense she is being manipulated, but on the other hand, she doesn't feel like her chances are great as things stand. ]

I've never tried it before. I can't promise it will go well.

[shortforever]

Go claim it real quick then.

[hotnbothered]

Y-You better believe I did!

[poisonista]

I claimed four already, Miss Flare. You may have to pick another.

[hotnbothered]

I'll die if I go any lower!

[poisonista]

The only person dying is your flockmate for getting us into this mess.

[hotnbothered]

[ Yelling, but clearly more hysterical than actually angry: ]

We aren't a flock, and there's no way that's how it's going to work out!

[heavyliesthecrown]

I am not going any higher than three.

[shortforever]

I'd share 2 with you if I could.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Then help me with the third. I do not want a lower position than that, and most of the middle positions are already filled.

[shortforever]

First is Biscuit and third is Tart currently, who do you think you could take on?

[heavyliesthecrown]

Then I am contesting Tart or Biscuit. Because I refuse to go lower and budge on this for once in my life.
