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?

[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. ]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ OBVIOUSLY SCARAB SUITS HIM UP

and when that does nothing he floods the suit with electricity

By the time they realize their powers are doing nothing his arm's already reduced to bone, and he's frantically swiping at his face with his remaining to try to keep his eyes and mouth clear. He's grit his teeth against the swarm and is making panicky, terrified sounds just shy of actually screaming. An invisibility illusion flickers into place once or twice, but there's not a chance of him actually maintaining that through this nightmare. ]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[He is absolutely HORRIFIED. At once he attempts to try CHARMing them??]

G-Get away from him....!

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ DOES CHARM WORK ON EVERY BUG? It's got to be helping keep them off his vital points at least ]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[It seems that it does, in fact, work on some of them. But now they are crawling toward and climbing up him.]

W-WAIT! Stop--!

[He's scrambling and thrashing while backing up to try and get them to avoid him, too.]

Just stop attacking! STOP! STOP! STOP!

[Despretely trying to get them CHARMed into stopping biting but evil beetles aren't really smart.]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[rugpull]

[



shoving bugs into his magic bag fast as he can]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ THANKS BISCUIT YOU'RE A BRO

between this and bugs being charmed he can spare a second to sit down, which looks a lot like his legs just giving out. Not due to bugs so much as how much all of this sucks ]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[rugpull]

[gets on broom

flies up




grabs ananke by the arm and swings him around to try to shake the bugs off him]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[poisonista]

[ Shit. How does he help, there's no power he has that...

Wait, could he potentially curse the bugs into melting just for touching him- ]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Is this how Ananke finds out Rose has melting curse powers

Cres and Biscuit have handled a decent chunk of the bugs. May as well see how meltable the remainder are ]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[poisonista]

[ WELL IT'S MORE HIS OWN CURSE POWERS FROM HOME-

But he's going to quickly reach for Ananke, chanting- ]

I lose naught and fear naught,
This shining crown was made for me!

Fairest One of All!

"Should these insects continue to consume,
let their greed be their doom—
Melt in pain, unless they feast no more!!"

1/2 responding to myself

[secondbornsun]

[ ???!!?!?!???????!!!!!!!!?????? ]

Re: Ananke - CW Bugs, flesh eating.

[secondbornsun]

[ pulls his pen out, immediately: ]

King's Roar!

[ @ beetles: L + ratio + turn into sand + dust off + literally die

*not trying to completely annihilate all of them at once because if he tries and fails to be that precise he could accidentally sand ananke but at least he can turn this Biblical Plague into a countable number of beetles ]

Odin - CW Body Horror

[wooliefrand]

[Odin volunteered as well, looks like they have to split the difference!

Odin suddenly feels a heaviness in his chest, as if a entity is trying to break out. He has to use all his concentration to keep it in check, but that proves difficult when gravity itself is pulling at him. He'll be brought to his knees by sheer force of his own abilities, gravity crushing his legs first so he can't move. Even stranger, he suddenly feels his heart feeling much lighter. . .too light. As if it's trying tear away from his flesh, flee its constraints.

His body is too heavy to contain his heart.

He'll either be crushed to death or his heart will rip itself out his chest if no one interferes.]

Re: Odin - CW Body Horror

[rugpull]

[idk how to fix this?!]

[shortforever]

[He would probably say something like "just kill me already!" if not for the fact that he can't breathe enough to talk.]

Re: Odin - CW Body Horror

[heavyliesthecrown]

[He has no idea what is happening but it looks painful and awful and--

You know... you know something that does not feel pain?]

ODIN-KUN-!

[ A beam shoots toward Odin! Something that probably won't feel any pain at all is... a plushie! He's activated Love Love Beam.]

[shortforever]

[Odin is now a little plushie dog with red fur. Like, animal crossing kind of plushie dog.

Whose legs are somehow still broken, idk how this would show on a plushie but it's there.]

Re: Odin - CW Body Horror

[poisonista]

[ Odin- shit, shit. On the one hand he's glad he didn't contest this, but, damn it-

He pauses at Crescendo's move, though. ]

... what.

[shortforever]

[He is now a dog plushie laying on the ground. Hi Belle.]

AND THE REST

[wooliefrand]

WINNERS
LILY for being the first to immediately sacrifice themselves
DAFFODIL for staying at the top
WEEDS for Queen correctly calling her bet.

Winners get the standard memory coins, though Weeds will find their club house has transformed into a proper barn with individual bigger rooms for everyone. Junko ALSO revives without going to turbo hell!

Daffodil gets these pajama shirts, along with some grooming utensils. By which i means brush sets and such. They all have orange and/or Florida decor on them.

Ananke also finds himself with a strange artifact when he's not being eaten by bugs. Wait where did that come from. Why is Jim Deer standing like, right there watching yall.

Everyone hears a thought in their head before it disappears:

At some point, sacrifice may be our only option.

Do not let that prevent you from helping this world bloom.

Re: AND THE REST

[spinebuddyandme]

[ LESSON LEARNED: DO SACRIFICE SOMETIMES ]

[ now that he's been healed up enough to stop bleeding and managed to cover his lack of arm up with Scarab armor, he's cubecalling the rest of lily ]

Hey... Don't freak out, but I just lost a lot of blood. Can one of you come get me?

Re: AND THE REST

[endsjustified]

[wat]

Where are you?

Re: AND THE REST

[mykidisthebest]

[the little cubecalls don't show missing arms so the severity of the situation is not IMMEDIATELY apparent. there is still a lot of concern in his voice]

If you say not to freak out and you lost a lot of blood, I think freaking out is the correct response. Where are you?
