Ritual 31 - Peony

[crittersheep]

[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.]

The Flesh - CW Cannibalism Adjacent

[wooliefrand]

[The humanoid sheep walks forward, presenting its shoulder and bared neck, though he can bite where ever he sees fit.

Commence.]

[sparksystem]

[ his teeth are in fact just very sharp metal and Pegasus bites the sheeps left hand. If it doesnt have a hand then probably the shoulder how humanoid is humanoid how would a humanoid sheep wear pants ]

The Emotion

[wooliefrand]

[The humanoid sheep walks forward, and Balios' hand crackles with a dark energy.

It bares its chest to him.]

. . .






Lotta 'personally inflict great physical harm' methods here. Lotta those. Really biased towards people who work out.

ROUND 2

[crittersheep]

Your gifts imbue 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

We turn them both into horses and put them into the same big portal loop until they get super dizzy and upset.

RESULTS

Re: RESULTS

[wooliefrand]

[hm,

The sheep have turned into two sacrifices. The sacrifices have now turned into horses.

You are stuck into a portal loop until you're dizzy and upset,


but also, once they stop, a Peony will be forced to 'shoot' them with their de-power, power. Even after the game, for one day, the sacrifices will be unable to use their most prized abilities. (which is up to the player)

also when you go back in r3 you're still a horse]
