Game 2 - Rose

[crittersheep]

[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.]

QUESTION 4

[crittersheep]

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?

[strateelgic]

Hm.

[He's answered this before, hasn't he? In a way. And it would have been hard to tell if he was being completely serious or not.]

Someone who has betrayed me on a deeply personal level.

[Just "betrayal" on its own isn't a cause for murder. After all, minor transgressions make for great blackmail material. It has to be the sort of unforgivable betrayal there's no reconciliation for.]

[The flower receives his answer.

A knife appears at his feet.

For the duration of the game, if he feels 'betrayed' by anyone, he will feel compelled to stab the perpetrator.]

[finalbows]

....
I am positioned as Angel of Death, whether the divine would claim me as envoy or not.

_{[ anyone. everyone. he looked that crystal in the eye. he raised his hand. didn't he? hadn't he? ]}


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.

[wooliefrand]

[A cry can be heard from the flower.

But nothing happens to Rose.]

[finalbows]

_{[ that's probably, fine, right? ]}

[catposting]

[ . . . ]

That's not good.

[ judging by how the flower cried to him earlier, then how they just got mauled, he's glad that he didn't give his own answer to this question. ]

[finalbows]

My fervent apologies for not having a more conservative answer to the question.

_{[ is that even a snarky answer. doesn't really seem like it. ]}

[catposting]

Not that, just —

[ frustrated sigh. he hadn't known at first either, so it's not like he can blame his teammate. ]

Just let Floyd answer the last question. All we need to do is agree.

[finalbows]

_{[ his voice is still rough from the noose. ]}

Fine by me.

Re: QUESTION 4

[pleasantmisery]

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.

Nothing happens to Rose]

[ pretending that the flower screamed as per Word of Ash ]

... At least we're out of answers for this one.

[ i.e. HE'S ABSTAINING ]

Re: QUESTION 4

[pleasantmisery]

Oh, boy. I wonder if that means Death's Eye liked it or didn't like it...
