Game 2 - Lily

[crittersheep]

[A lily 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.]

[ohlord]

. . . of course it's a fucking snake.

[VASH THE STAMPEDE, DID YOU LITERALLY FALL FOR THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE CHRISTIAN BOOK???]

[endsjustified]

What do you know?

Re: DISCUSSION

[hardpity]

Why is there a snaaaaake

[terraria]

I wonder how it tastes...

[ohlord]

... now that you mention it...

[lapdogged]

Eh, snake's not that great, to be honest.

Re: DISCUSSION

[endsjustified]

Do not answer in haste. Demons are unreasonable, but rarely without logic.

[terraria]

( clacks his mouth shut, presumably about to respond immediately... )

...

The questions seem relatively straightforward, though?

[Charon beckons everyone into a circle -- so the middle is shielded from both Death/the snake's gaze and the flower they're stuck to -- and holds out a note:

Snake tempted Bluebell to eat poison. I have a piece of it.

Poison and blood opens the way. Modified sigil; a door from death back to life. I have others' blood if we wish not to use ours, but ours may be most effective.

We can attempt to call Bluebell back through, while death and the demon's attention is on this.]

( he needs to watch everyone else's responses - oh thank god aides is reciting it to himself.

nods firmly!! )

[lapdogged]

[Sighs and nods, resigned to their fates as soul-stuffers and trying to cheat Death yet again. This might as well happen.]

[terraria]

( so this is awkward.

it didn't even click for him until everyone started dying. of course he can't die to poison even here. failsafes are undying. )

It's kind of funny that the first time I want to die, I don't get to.

( BITTER )

POST-REVIVAL

[ohlord]

[guess we should get back to discussing these questions, huh?]

[restage]

[ WELL ANYWAY ]

...These questions more sound like we should give our opinions than anything else.

Re: POST-REVIVAL

[hardpity]

S-so... now we should actually come up with some answers, right?

I-I think it's wrong to think of death as a thing that people 'deserve'... f-for the first one... it's like asking who deserves to be born. I-it's just a thing that happens.

PENALTY

[wooliefrand]

[WHENEVER YALL GET FUCKING BACK]

[a voice echos from their flower:]

WHO WOULD YOU MOURN?

... One who lived and died solely at the whims of another, unable to see past the misguided loyalty ingrained in their blood.

[One member of the flock will suddenly feel a heavy weight on their backs, as if being stepped on. And then, your arm (of your choice) bends backward horrifically, until the bone is snapped. It will not kill you, but you will shed tears uncontrollably.

A seal appears on your arm. It cannot be healed during the game.]

Re: PENALTY

[endsjustified]

[i can't believe this is what it takes to get Charon to cry in a game smh

anyway. his reaction, like a lot of the things he does, is very downplayed: he staggers a bit and goes down on a knee with the supernatural weight, and he makes absolutely no sound when his arm goes, like a kind of anti-scream. his face loses all colour, though, and he wavers in place, eyes wide]

PENALTY

[wooliefrand]

[a voice echoes from your flower]

WHO WOULD *YOU* KILL?

... I guess it doesn't really matter anymore since that bastard's already dead, but if he weren't... Yeah, there was someone.

[.....ALL OF LILY (except persi? and aqua?? IDK EVERYONE WHO IS A BASTARD)will suddenly find themselves surrounded by wolf skulls, their jaws lined with fangs. Without warning, they bite down hard, on their arm, torso, OR leg. Blood gushes as they tear out your flesh. However, you won't die from it. . .yet.

A seal appears near your wounds. You cannot be healed during the game.]

PENALTY

[wooliefrand]

[a voice echoes from the flower

WHO WOULD *YOU* KILL?

I'm not kidding myself and answering anything but "anyone" to this, because that would be insulting both of our intelligence. I know well that which I am capable of.

A crystal pair of dice appear.

You instinctively know you must roll to decide who will be the 'anyone' to take the punishment.]

PENALTY

[wooliefrand]

[a voice echos from the flower:]

WHO WOULD YOU MOURN?

I- would morn those that I know and care for. I know that- that there's a limit to my empathy and I cannot truly mourn those I have not known. E-even if someone's hurt others- but was kind to me- I'd miss them-

[Styx, Persi, and Cerby will suddenly feel as if they are choking, straining for breath. Should someone stare intently, or feel around their throats, they'll find invisible hands made of air strangling them. If they aren't removed or dispersed, they will fall unconscious.]

PENALTY

[wooliefrand]

[a voice echoes from your flower:

WHO WOULD *YOU* KILL?

I've killed plenty of people before.

...but I'll make sure that doctor dies by my hand, if it's the last thing I do.

NYX Will suddenly be hit with several strikes of razor sharp wind, slicing deep gashes in various area. Each receives a seal--these cannot be healed during the game.]

PENALTY

[wooliefrand]

[A voice echoes from the flower:

WHO WOULD *YOU* KILL?

Oh boy, this is a tough one. Well... The life of an adventurer can be pretty dangerous! Sometimes that means running into dangerous people who want to kill you, for reasons. When that happens... I try to avoid it, but I'd kill someone if it was a choice between their life and mine. I've done it before.

And... While I can't really feel bad about killing people anymore, I also don't really feel good about it. So I'd rather not do it unless it's the only option left.

The most dangerous person on your flock (can be decided oocly) will suddenly be impaled with a bone spear. A seal appears: so long as the bone is not pulled out, they will not bleed out and die.

If it is pulled out, the wound cannot be healed during the game.]
