Game 2 - Clover

[A clover shaped crystal rises from the ground. You instinctively know to touch it for Death's Eye to receive your answer.

You are bound to your flock by a thin thread, making it impossible to separate, but you may still answer individually.]

...if somebody starts assigning value to lives, then that's when they start declaring some of those lives to be more "worthless" than others. And anyway! We'll all return to the- the same dust, in the end.

Life, not lives!

Ugh, is it different? ...IS is different?? [That "ugh" was a pretty pathetic noise already, but he'll make another one as he forces his brain to keep going.] All life or lives, isn't it all the same in the end? If it's more individual, how are we supposed to answer "as a group"...

... Then... isn't it up to us? As each separate person- isn't what our life is worth our decision?

( there is a certain desperation, even without trying to end the game. )

Why are you saying it like you have to argue with me about it, I'm not the- the Goddess, or anyone else who has a right to tell you how to think, and neither is anybody else here. You can have your opinion and I can have mine and who cares if they're different why is this stupid thing insisting we have to agree...

No one can assign value to someone's life except for that person themselves. The value of someone's life depends on so many different factors.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lullabyonacloudynight]

None of us have the same answer, how are we supposed to answer this as a group, why do we have to answer this as a group, don't get lazy at the very end...

We could answer at the same time, but say what we think.

Re: DISCUSSION

[lullabyonacloudynight]

That's DEFINITELY not what it wants and we'll DEFINITELY get in trouble so why don't we roll the dice and just pick one, or say "everything" or "nothing" or "everything and nothing" or something, ughhhhh...

Did you already forget what happens when we try to find loopholes in their sick games?

Re: DISCUSSION

[SHE SIGHS]

No, I haven't. My answer might be the best way to include everyone, though, without it being a loophole. Everyone's life has a different value, but that value can only be given by the person it belongs to.

That can be as much or as little as someone wants.

Re: DISCUSSION

[eonsadrift]

...that's probably as close as any of us are going to get to agreeing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[aididitmyway]

I can't think of a better way to compromise...
