Game 2 - Rose

[A rose 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]

[shaking her staff to ring the bell tied to it and get everyone's attention]

Okay, everyone! Time to huddle! I think we'd better discuss some stuff. Specifically, the last question. Though we can discuss the other ones too, if you'd rather answer those as a group.

[strateelgic]

These questions are all incredibly loaded.

[pleasantmisery]

Makes sense that Death, or at least this part of Death, is mostly interested in what people think about Death.

_{One of these days, I'd love for the avatar of all destruction to want to have a chat about the weather, or something...}

Re: DISCUSSION

[catposting]

What is the value of life?

[strateelgic]

The value of anything is determined by every individual. There's no specific answer to that question.

[catposting]

...

"The value of anything is determined by every individual."

You reckon it'll take that for a specific answer?

[ or is it too much of a loophole... ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[pleasantmisery]

Gosh, I really wish I was, like, a philosopher or a cleric or something right about now. There's so many ways to answer this!

Re: DISCUSSION

[catposting]

Thoughts on what Floyd said? It's not a value, but it is an answer.

... I wish we had some kind of "loophole criteria".

[ Blood Fiend's floating blue cube is playing a driveby video projection of Shadow Fiend and Vivace's conversation, for any team member that wants to watch. ]

_{[ for somebody who has loudly told the rest of Rose he's an angel of death multiple times, Angel Devil really does not look excited to be answering all these questions supposedly extremely relevant to his job ]}

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.

[Blood Fiend, Angel Devil, and Floyd will suddenly find themselves surrounded by wolf skulls, their jaws lined with fangs. Without warning, they bite down hard, on their arm, torso, and leg respectively. 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.]

[Chant immediately takes off her shirt and starts cutting it into strips with her knife to use as bandages.]

Oh boy, that doesn't look good at all.

Re: PENALTY

[catposting]

[ ??? can't he catch a break???

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, because he HAS gone through worse several times within the past seven days, he can still get the words out just fine. ]

Time, Shadow Fiend! Tell them! Use the staff!!

Re: PENALTY

[pleasantmisery]

I think stopping you all from bleeding's gotta come first!

[strateelgic]

[Why??

What does that even mean?? His birth was perfectly legitimate, thank you.]

...Oh dear.

[Should he sit down? He's gonna sit down.]

[pleasantmisery]

[Chant is now shirtless and cutting up her shirt into bandages.]

I wonder whose answer that was?

[strateelgic]

Doesn't seem entirely fair does it? But I suppose that's the point.

[finalbows]

<sub>[ cool. cool. cool. okay. getting gnawed on by animals. alright.

he's definitely giving the old college try at healing the wound, but it's not working. and he's learned his lesson that cauterizing won't work, rip emperor.

do the skulls like. stay biting down, or can he try to at least stem the bleeding with pressure? ]</sub>

[pleasantmisery]

[Chant is shirtless and cutting her shirt into strips! which she will use to try and bandage up the wound]

[finalbows]

<sub>[ weakly, ] Thank you, Shadow Fiend.

[ nobody comment on how his 'lost the fight' soundbite from getting bit sounds like a pained N-NYAAA, please ]</sub>

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-

[FLOYD 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.]

[strateelgic]

[Oh. He remembers this feeling.

The first time he'd taken the potion to shift into human form and traded his merman lungs for human ones he'd thought he'd lost the ability to breathe altogether. Except it seems that this time he actually has.

The hand on his uninjured arm reaches for his throat as he strains for air to no avail.

No, no, that's no good. Instead he takes the dagger he'd been given earlier and slams the end of the handle into the ground several times to gain the attention of the others.]

[finalbows]

<sub>[ ah, fuck. the scan spell is out in a second, but even before it's done--

he happens to notice.
there's a haze kind of like a mirage around Floyd's neck, coiled to crush his windpipe.

angel devil is not a handsy person. maybe if he was he'd learn on touch that the hands are made of rushing air, and could maybe be brute forced away with his own wind magic.

instead he tries ol' reliable Dispel to try and get the hands to fuck off, a star of black light rimmed by blue and red blooming in a circle around Floyd's neck.


also this is all happening while angel devil's still compelled to be sobbing i just realized LMFAOO ]</sub>
