Ritual 31 - Daffodil

[You're pulled into an enclosure--it simultaneously feels alive and inorganic. You're free to move around, though you can't escape. The walls are both papery and velvet, and the only light emitted is that from six grey sheep that sit silently against one of the walls. They each don a greyed out version of your flock's flower sprouting from one eye, and a grey, dripping candle upon their heads.

As for you, you feel a sting--a papercut. You bleed a tiny drop of blood that stretches thin, like a thread. It somehow penetrates the wall, and if you tug on it, you can tell it's connected to something. What though, you're not sure.]

ROUND ONE
[Suddenly the sheep speak--and warp, taking on humanoid, blank-slate forms. They still have candles on their heads.]

Please, choose one of us and do what needs to be done. Our bodies are merely vessels to be used.

[Each sheep/person vocalizes the method to be put to use on them:]

1) "Strangle me with your bare hands"
2) "Remove a limb with your own power."
3) "Carve a pound of my flesh out."
4) "Rip through my flesh with your teeth."
5) "Rip an emotion you deem essential from my being."
6) "Hold my head down in water until I still."

If you do not have any weapons/objects on you, one will be provided for the specified task. For the emotion option, whoever is doing the task, their hand will glow with a dark power, enabling them to reach in and extra the emotion.

Choose two tasks, and who will enact them. It can be the same person who wants to carry out both, or voice if you're abstaining.]

Your gifts imbue the our sacrifices with amazing power.

Use those powers to inflict the harshest punishment within your mortal imaginations up the sacrifice.

[ooc: use your sheep powers to inflict a punishment of your choice/creation. Depending on the severity, additional punishments may be added if the demons don't feel you are putting effort into it.

You still don't know who specifically the sacrifice may be, but given your flock's last two victims, that can help narrow it down.]

[MAN I WAS ASLEEP]

[flinging himself to the furthest corner away from the creepy sheep]

I was sleepin'....

[ears flatten, steps back from the weird sheep]

...this sucks...

But.

I think I can handle this.

Right now is... not worst.

[tugging on his weird blood tether, but at least it's not another glass ball]

We can't pick who takes the lumps for Daffodil...but...

I can take care of our acts of violence.

Are you sure?

Yeh.

I can do a violence. Even if ya can do it, s'better for ya and Daffodil that ya can keep yer sweet boy reputation by sayin' ya ain't participated honestly.

Strategy...

I can do it um, if I have to. If is one you can't do. Am... I've done violence before.

[ feeling against the blood droplet to the wall, but he doesn't do much more with it once he's tugged it gently and realizes it's connected to something ]
