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?

I just said four!

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?

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

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

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.

[ Glares at him. ]

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

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.

[ 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?

[ 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.

[ 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.

Alternative ain't exactly goin' well, is it?

[ his tail gently arcs from side to side in slow motion, a little like a cat's would when in a playful mood ]

Take a risky bet to take matters into your own hands or quietly agree to bein' toyed with—'s up to you which path ya take, yeah?

[ A few more long, drawn-out moments of silence, but then she holds out a hand. ]

I need a knife. Hurry up with it.

. . . This work for ya?

[ pulling a glove off to offer his hand out, sharp claws extending ]

[ She winces slightly, but then snorts and extends her own palm. ]

Hardly, but beggars can't be choosers.

[ snorts, but wordlessly swipes at her palm, deep enough to get her bleeding ]

[ She takes a deep breath and lets the blood drip to the ground, envisioning a harmless game of charades. ]

Go, post-haste, and make my words as law!

[POOF]

HOWDY! I'm Monochop!

TIME HAS BEEN EXTENDED BY 30 MINUTES
