Game 2 - Daffodil

[A daffodil 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.]

[teams may discuss answers here]

WHO IS DESERVING OF DEATH?

Who deserves to die? The weak and elderly? The young, too pure for this wretched world? A murderer, or his victim, a cruel being? There are many evils in this world, and many who do not deserve its suffering.

Who deserves to die in your eyes?

WHO WOULD YOU MOURN?

Would you mourn a man who's committed many an evil, but benefitted you? An ailing grandmother, alone in her home, but you have never met and will never think about once in your blessed lives.

There are many in this world a pitiful eye will never see.

Who would you mourn?

WOULD YOU JUDGE A LIFE TAKEN WILLINGLY?

Death is a blessing, an escape, for many a mortal. They take their own lives to escape suffering, out of guilt, or a foolish sense of nobility. But in the end, they are no different from a murderer or the murdered. What then, was the point?

Can you see a reason to do it? Would you take your own?

WHO WOULD *YOU* KILL?

You curse death, you fear death, you spit in my eyes. Yet out of anger, out of foolishness, mortals take lives with their own hands. For vengeance, for survival, for love, countless sins are committed by your hands.

So I ask you, what man would you look at and kill yourself?

[You know instinctively, as the final question is asked, that Death's Eye will only take one answer.

You must answer as a group.]

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF LIFE?

What the fuck!!!!

[ Just one BIG sigh ]

Why is it always like this?

Why is it always questions and riddles? Can't they just hand out a questionnaire like normal people?

Nope.

...so uh who deserves to die.

Can we just like pick a person who ain't here can I just say I dunno Officer Hardy.

Well, doesn't that depend on how we're answering? If we're trying to follow Death's reasoning that'd be no one, right? Because death is the great equalizer.

But also if you've got a grudge against this Officer Hardy you've been sitting on for a while, feel free.

Fuck that cop in particular.

Eh yer right though it's no one and everyone at the same time.

[ Cheerily: ]

Right. It's also the ultimate "fair" answer because either these trigger happy things that go bump in the night will do nothing or maybe they'll murder all of us. Who know?
