LILY

[You're suddenly surrounded by shadows and howling winds, and feel a slash across your cheek--shadowy claw marks. All your powers, original, sheep, or otherwise, have been sealed off. You also find yourself shackled; shadowy tendrils keeping you in place, wrapped around your wrists and ankles.

And one of you, in the center is contained within an orb. You're free to move around, or maybe you fall asleep, as a small of amount of nightmare gas sedates you somewhat.

There is only one person allowed to move around freely--A Weed. Or if no Weed is present, one of you is released form your shackles, but chained at the throat.

A voice booms through the shadows. ]

You will tell me who deserves his Vengeance.

[mmmm yeah, don't like that.]

... if I say "pick me", can I tag out with Perci?

We can try. Though there is no guarantee the demon would redesignate.

I am also willing to take a punishment.

Draw lots or somethin'?

We physically can't.

We can play the number game, though. Bombay thinks of something between one and ten; the closest person is selected.

Think Bombay can pull that trigger, too?

[looking at him]

I don't know.

... it ain't easy.

[he knows the struggle so damn well.]

He's not agreeing.

I'm going to make an alternative suggestion that still follows the rules. Chronos. Yes?

Yeah, sure.

... think I can talk to 'im late 'bout all this. Relate a little, y'know?

Styx... Are you sure?

I've taken just as bad damage before.

If that's you're only argument then most of us can say the same thing. I could take it instead.

Look, I ain't gonna stop ya from throwin' yer hat into the ring if that's what ya wanna do. But don't make it about tryin' to talk me outta my own feelin's.

That's not what I'm trying to do.

[nnnnaaarrrrghh...]

... Lethe's sayin' we're the heavy hitters n' should stay in one piece to take this guy apart, after.

Scarab'd like that.

We can try it. It's not like we know who's stuck in an orb in the other spaces, so it's not like we'd be able to accurately pick anyways.

Right? So we can choose like that.

...If I'm honest, I'd prefer not to pick you or Ananke. For practical reasons. You're both our heavy hitters, and I want you both to find this guy and mangle his corpse once we're done here.

Wouldn't be a bad idea for me to be a li'l incapacitated for later, though, since I got bit.

No guarantee we'll be able to catch the sonuvabitch--though, y'know, I'm down for takin' him apart.

We all got bit, so we're all in the same predicament there.

There's...an option that's trickier, but we can try picking someone who isn't here and see if it negates damage. The question is vague enough.

... not here, huh.

If they still count as a sheep for the purposes of the question, but the target isn't present, we might be able to avoid more injuries.

[he's not, like, counting on it, but it's an option they can take]

I dunno 'bout everyone else, but I hate seein' people I like suffer.
