Sheep Game 99 Results :kise

1. You're at a fancy restaurant and they have your favorite lunch/dinner. Which type of drink would you want to have alongside it?

A. Soda like coke/fanta/sprite/other. (Belserion, revo, lakhan220, syx, Copy Panda) x5
B. Juices of fruits/vegetables/other. (Lady pompom, Linali, Holt) x3
C. Alcoholic drinks, like beer/wine/other. (Juviii, Lambu, xi0, GajeelNashi, SirSamuel016) x5

E. Tea or coffee. (Brandish, Crescent Jinx) x2
F. Something else entirely?
G. It depends. (Purity of Magi) x1

Fanta and Orange Juice gives me gameday vibes coz of a certain lil kid who hands out sliced fruit at half time.
Brandish

E. Tea ~~or coffee.~~
...taken over ice and very sweet or with lemon...

Actually Sweet T is my nickname for when I was a teacher.
Crescent Jinx

Fruit juices are the best! Orange, apple, guava :tss

Lady pompom

To lunch? Always
Linali

Would prefer soft drinks with lunch and dinner. Alcohol time is later.
lakhan220

I often eat with water, yet I dont actually drink it while Im eating but at the end. That said, if Im at a good restaurant with a quality dish then a good wine is in order, it complements better than anything.
Lambu

I usually go with a soda (coke, fanta, mezzo mix) regardless of what kind of restaurant it is. In rare cases, I try a drink which sounds good on the menu, and in other instances I take a Mango Lassi (if available). But all in all, soda goes best with every lunch/dinner for me.

Last weekend, we went to a fancy restaurant with a group of friends and almost everyone ordered red wine, made this high society smell and taste test while I was like "just gimme my damn coke, thank you very much". I am not that fancy guy.

Answer: A

syx

Hmm, I have tea with breakfast, but not otherwise as a beverage with lunch or dinner. I think if it's dinner, I'll go with A. Specifically, my favourite soft drink is cherry bouquet fernandes. Drank like 8L of that stuff in Suriname, had to detox from the sugar afterwards
Copy Panda

i'm not going to a fancy restaurant to drink tap water or sodas you can find at the store for 2 bucks.
GajeelNashi

Not a fan of tea. I do coffee sometimes. I do soda a fair bit, but probably should tone down. I do alcohol too but won't at a restaurant while eating, I'd rather have that solo.
Holt

HMMMMMMMMM... okay, this kinda always depends actually lol. Mostly, I want to have some nice soda when it comes to dinner, however if its lunch than I rather have a nice cup of coffee or tea.

2. Out of these great japanese soup dishes/noodle dishes, which one is your favorite?

A. Ramen (Belserion, Crescent Jinx, Knightmare of heaven 0, Juviii, Linali, lakhan220, Lambu, syx, Copy Panda, GajeelNashi, Holt, SirSamuel016, Organizized, Purity of Magi) x14
B. Soba (Brandish, revo, Lady pompom) x3
C. Udon (xi0, shinobi) x2

Because Nene
Brandish

Soba.
revo

But it has to come cheap and made in the microwave like all those instant ramen meals that got me through college.
Crescent Jinx

I find it tastier than the ramen, maybe because of the noodles type.
Lady pompom

I guess it’s the most popular, thanks to Naruto
Linali

Never tasted any but going with ramen
lakhan220

Years ago I would have said Soba, but after trying out a truly good ramen... there's no discussion.
Lambu

It is Ramen. The explanation is simple. I like the thinner noodles in Ramen more than the thicker ones in Udon. Furthermore, I prefer to eat my noodles hot and in a soup. :3

Answer: A

syx

I don’t like the texture of soba. Udon isn’t bad but it’s generally too thick and slippery to consume delicately
Copy Panda

Ichiraku ftw. PS: I haven't had these 'Japanese' dishes actually
Holt

Why is this question even legal? xD All three are nice in its own way lmao.
OEFFF

Okay, let's just go for Ramen.

3. In this question you're a parent and your kid is going to school(grade/middle/high). One day you're notified of a petition to install cameras everywhere in and around the school(except for inside the toilets of course). The school staff as well as other parents are all very split on the petition, equally many supporting and opposing it for different reasons. Assume that your signature will be the deciding one. Are you in support of the surveillance or not?

A. Support the petition, for any school. (Belserion, Lady pompom, Linali, lakhan220, shinobi) x5
B. Support the petition but not for every school type, meaning you disagree for at least one out of grade school, middle school and high school. (revo, Crescent Jinx, GajeelNashi, Holt, SirSamuel016) x5
C. Don't support the petition. (Knightmare of heaven 0, Juviii, Lambu, xi0, Copy Panda, Organizized, Purity of Magi) x7
D. Abstain from voting, even though this leaves this decision to others.
E. I let my lovely kid and hot wife decide for me. (syx) x1
F. Yeah (Brandish) x1

Lemme guess I gotta sign a jersey, not paper The lengths ppl go for my autograph

And no, don't do a parent-pov sheep. People who are parents will assert themselves at the top of the life experience hierarchy and all the edgy non-parents will get triggered. Actually that sheep does sound pretty good
Brandish

It will help keep the kids safe, which I hope would be the reason for the surveillance
Belserion

Sounds pretty strictic but could also fix many problems of schools around my place.
revo

Weirdo
Crescent Jinx

Hmm, it´s a bit complicated, but some schools did have cases of people mistreating small kids (that can´t even tell or understand they are being mistreated), so I would rather be able to see and know if something like this happens and do something about it than have my kid (or other kids) on such place.

For middle/high school, its also a way to see students doing bad things on the surveilled places, even though they probably would find a way to do bad things without being seen. At least for high schoolers, in a school I was for a while, I know a case where some student was causing troubles at school and they came with a cap, covering his face basically from the cameras on the following days, but the school could still identify them later.
Lady pompom

If it was just in classroom and at the main door (where people are usually stabbed and all) it would be fine but everywhere is kinda violating their privacy. Juviii

And honestly, I don't see a reason why not. That should stop at least some of these little troublemakers. If not, it's always easier to find a culprit and punish them.
Linali

This does not just put surveillance on students, but also on teachers in a way curbing the possibilities of any untowards incidents. Now, as for desire or right to privacy, Grade schoolers are too young to understand tht + beneficial in their case , Middle schoolers just abt start to have tht idea so not much of a problem + a little bit of safety for them too. And high schoolers........these rascals are not going to be bound by this. They will find place no matter what and whenever they need it. Thus safety assured + if Privacy needed they will find the places
lakhan220

The conflicting point is the everywhere. I agree with the need of cameras in halls and rooms with valuable equipment (in order to avoid theft), but by installing them everywhere you are depriving the students of their privacy. Sure it would prove helpful in some situations but its children what we are talking about here, that includes the highschoolers
Lambu

First, I would like to know why they want to spend so much money for all these cameras, the whole equipment which comes along with it, the installation itself and the future maintenance of them? For security reasons? Do cameras in schools seriously bring legit advantages on the table in that regard? I somehow doubt it.

In any case, I wouldn't decide whether to support the petition or not myself. As I said, I don't see any legit benefits of such surveillance approach. In which case I would discuss this topic with my lovely kid and hot wife and basically let them decide for me. If they come to an agreement that they would feel more comfortable with it, then so be it. Win-win in my case, I can't lose.

Answer: E (I let my lovely kid and hot wife decide for me)

syx

There's barely a dimension to this policy whereby the gains outweigh the associated costs smh
Copy Panda

it honestly depends on where you live. If I was in the US I would have agreed for all of them with all those school shooting happening, but I do not see the necessity to put cameras literally everywhere if that's not the case, especially in High School.
GajeelNashi

They're kids at school, there are tons more benefits from this than not in my opinion. Might not be a popular option though
Holt

Because I think that’s what people will answer
Organizized

Yeah no. If it were cameras outside of the school, than sure. However, I am not quite a supporter when it comes to cameras inside of school. It's an answer C for me.

4. In this question you're a lawyer and are hired to defend the son of a rich man, who is suspected of murder and currently detained. As you have a private talk with the son in the detention room he trusts you and tells you everything he knows. Due to the details you're confident you could get him a Not Guilty verdict. But he also confessed to you that he really is Guilty. What do you do.

A. You defend him and get him declared Not Guilty. You're praised for doing well and earn a lot of money and fame from this case. Only you and the defendant know the truth, and while morally questionable you did your job. (xi0, Copy Panda, shinobi, Purity of Magi) x4
B. You defend him and get him declared Guilty. Having failed the case you don't get a lot of money and your reputation takes a big hit for not doing your job. (Holt) x1
C. You quit the case and tell the father to find a new lawyer for his son. You get no money but your reputation is unchanged. However you passed up on a great opportunity for your future, and the son will just get a different lawyer who will make his decision. (Belserion, revo, Lady pompom, Knightmare of heaven 0, Juviii, Linali, lakhan220, Lambu, syx, GajeelNashi, SirSamuel016, Organizized) x12
D. Yeah (Brandish) x1
E. Shoot him yourself. (Crescent Jinx) x1

I would’ve chose option A if the reasoning was “do your job and win”.
Brandish

I won’t be responsible for leaving a monster on the street, assuming it wasn’t self defense
Belserion

Probably a pretty coward option but probably couldn't live with myself in picking the first one, and for the second one, I don't want to risk my job for something like that. My boss is a lawyer and sometimes when I see him doing making certain decision I think "I definetly wouldn't do that".
revo

I've always thought, that being a lawyer demands rather flexible morality or lack of it at all. Otherwise, you wouldn't be a good lawyer.
Linali

Losing a rep for a job is worth it rather than compromising with morals and living with guilty conscience for rest of the life......Also, there is more to the story than meets the eye too. If in self defense, he has killed someone, it is not murder actually..at this time A. But if he has done something nasty in state of drunken power, then specifically C...Anyways, the best answer is C leaving the case.
lakhan220

For me its clear, I would not be able to sleep if I knew I let a murderer go freely, and whats worse: to get money. It would make me an accomplice of the crime and pure trash as a person. Never.
Lambu

Interesting situation. I like the law vs. own moral code struggle here. I try to be honest as much as I can. In the end, no one can say for sure what he would do if a lot of money and your future is on the line. However, I do believe that I wouldn't defend a murderer to get a Not Guilty verdict. Murder crosses the line. That is why I can't choose answer A. If that person had done something else, then I might do my job and give him the best defense which is within my abilities. Yes yes, double standards 4tw, but whatever... I am a human being, so fuck you all.

As for answer B... I actually like that answer a lot, because a murderer has to be put behind bars (or even worse) after all. But is it worth to ruin my reputation/job which might also lead to the downfall of my family? Unlikely. Not to mention that there is the possibility that the defendant could reopen her/his case with another lawyer anyway, right?

Which only leaves answer C, and I think I would be the guy who would go for it. Reputation intact, job (income) still good and save, and the future of my family not harmed.

Answer: C

syx

It's a false dichotomy. Do you ask a surgeon if he'd go ahead with an operation in his hospital even if he found out the patient is a criminal? People who pick these professions made up their mind a long time ago
Copy Panda

This was a tough one. Morals or Reputation? In the end though, I definitely would not be able to go through with defending someone guilty of murder. Option C was really enticing too, I could simply escape altogether but the caveat attached is too glaring. In the end, by choosing to do nothing, I also chose to potentially let a guilty man work free. My rep taking a hit sucks, but that's also another reason I wouldn't fancy such a career. The court isn't really about the truth after all, and similar cases to this will keep coming up. I'd probably start looking for an out or switching careers after getting him charged guilty. Or maybe switch to prosecutor and try to catch criminals (in which case, I'd be doing the right thing and getting my rep up). Of course I could also be faced with having to knowingly get an innocent person charged guilty and in such a case, my action will mirror above.
Holt

This is why I never want to be a lawyer
Organizized

Sounds like a sort of a dilemma situation because 1. it is actually your job to defend your client no matter if he is guilty or not, that is what you get paid for, however letting someone go that actually might be dangerous for the community is also not really a nice after taste. Hm, ah well fuck it, don't have time to go into a Magi loop at this point.

I will go with answer A lol.

5. You're shown a box with all the dragon balls and told to pick only one.

Which one do you pick?

A. 1 star (Knightmare of heaven 0, GajeelNashi) x2
B. 2 star
C. 3 star (xi0, SirSamuel016) x2
D. 4 star (Lady pompom, Linali, lakhan220, Lambu, shinobi, Holt, Organizized) x7
E. 5 star (Belserion) x1
F. 6 star (syx) x1
G. 7 star (revo, Crescent Jinx, Juviii, Copy Panda) x4
H. Yeah (Brandish) x1
I. All (Purity of Magi) x1

4 star
because...

Lady pompom

The more the merrier
Juviii

Having any of it would be cool, but 4 stars is the most iconic
Linali

Pick up the box........ ...Well, I would pick D - 4 star Dragon ball. Also, because in Naruto, 4 tails son goku was homage to Toriyama's DB and ball he always had 4 star.
lakhan220
Because its the original star that Goku had
Lambu

Who goes with all of them? Brandish? Erinyes?
In my case, I would go with the 6 star dragon ball. It appeals to me the most from appearance point of view. The 1-5 stars look (a little bit) empty, the 7 star a tad overfilled.

Answer: F
syx

I'm not sure if I'd like the 3d sphere but 2d this design looks the most agreeable. Symmetry and filled up and all that
Copy Panda

The popular one it seems

Most mainstream one of course, counting on people to be predictable.

6. You go with your friends or family to Disneyland. However time is limited and with the huge waiting lines you won't be able to go to all attractions. You all submit one attraction you absolutely want to go on. Which one of these do you choose? Click on them for more info, or decide via names.

A. Space Mountain. (Belserion, Crescent Jinx, Lady pompom, syx, shinobi, Purity of Magi) x6
B. Pirates of the Caribbean. (Holt, SirSamuel016, Organizized) x3
C. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. (Lambu) x1
D. Haunted Mansion. (Knightmare of heaven 0, Linali, lakhan220, xi0, Copy Panda) x5
E. Splash Mountain. (Brandish, revo, Juviii, GajeelNashi) x4

Second choice would have been Mercedes-Benz Silver Star Roller Coaster in Germany.
Crescent Jinx

E but B sounds fun too
Juviii

The only one without any "small drops" - small or big, I'm not good with any "drops"
Linali

D as it is more scary.
lakhan220

As someone thats been to Disneyland in Paris I'll tell you this: Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean weren't as good as I expected (dont know if they changed it since I visited it). Space Mountain is insane... in the bad sense of the word. I only had one ride and I wouldn't do it again, you will leave with a headache 100%.

In contrast, Big Thunder Mountain was quite fun, not nearly as intense as other roller coasters in the park but still very nice.
Lambu

I have watched every ride on youtube, and this is my take on them:

Space Mountain: Indoor rides in the dark have their own charm. I tried one in the Europa-Park (if my memory serves me right) and it was great fun (my friend lost his glasses, haha). Unfortunately, the Space Mountain lacks that sheer adrenaline kick (acceleration, velocity, height...).

Pirates of the Caribbean: I'm not really interested in that one. I am not a fan of the theme and there is no thrill whatsoever. Next.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad: It is a very okayish ride. For an outdoor rollercoaster, I need more speed, a steep drop, screws and loopings, e.g. the Silver Star, Black Mamba or Blue Fire. I know there are much better rides out there in the world, but those are the best rides I have experienced so far.

Haunted Mansion: Haha, interesting, but roller coasters are my preferences.

Splash Mountain: I was a bigger fan of water rides in the past. I still like them though. However, there are too many calm periods in such rides and it has become a little bit gross to get soaked by the water.

To make a long story short: I will go with the Space Moutain. I like it the most out of the available options.
Answer: A

syx

Not necessarily tension or gore but jump scares in particularly tilt the shit out of me. My friends used make me play horror games or take me to horror movied just to see me get scared. My current housemates found out I get startled easily and so every now and then hide somewhere and jump out just to fuck my shit up. Last week I came home at midnight and my housemate hid in the kitchen under a black coat, snuck up on me and pressed a cold can of fernandes on me!!! I get bullied all the time!
Copy Panda

Going off the name

I think that I will go with answer A. I dunno why, just got somehow reminded of a lvl in Diddy Kong racing where you have a race in space lol.

7. Competition exists in many forms, versus others, versus yourself, in athletics, in school, in work, and so on…what kind of competitor are you?

A. Arrogant and dismissive, you think and know you are better and are disrespectful about it. (shinobi) x1
B. Humble and quiet, you let your performance do the talking. (revo, Crescent Jinx, Knightmare of heaven 0, Lambu, syx, Organizized, Purity of Magi) x7
C. Lazy, you’ll just go with the flow and hope to come out on top. (Belserion, Linali, xi0) x3
D. Hard working, you acknowledge your limitations and you work ethic helps cover them. (lakhan220, GajeelNashi, Holt) x3
E. Emotional, you wear your heart on your sleeve and always dispaly various emotions. (Lady pompom, Copy Panda, SirSamuel016) x3
F. My competitor type is one that always looks to improve. (Brandish) x1
G. All of the above. (Juviii) x1

Yes Gryff you can take notes, I know you’re too tsun to ask me outright

Brandish

maybe? 8´D I guess sometimes I am too emotional even.
Lady pompom

All of the above depending on the competition.
Juviii

I'm a simple woman - I see option "lazy", I choose it
Linali

And + depends on type of competitor too. If taking on an arrogant one, will do a mixture of both A and B. C sometimes if nothing too serious........E hardly . lakhan220

When playing tennis I never celebrate points unlike other players I face, it helps me stay focused.
Lambu

I have only one thing to say:

Nah... on a serious note, I am not disrespectful, dismissive or arrogant. Of course I jokingly show (off) some emotions here and there, especially when the competition has the chill and fun atmosphere, but overall I am actually the quiet person who lets his performance or the lack of his skills () do the talking.

It even goes as far as people actually thinking that I don't care at all because I'm so silent, but the truth is the complete opposite. I despise to lose, hate it when my hard earned improvements don't meet my expectations. My inner self rages as much as the person who screams his head off.

Therefore, answer B and D apply to me. B more than D, so:
Answer: B
syx

I mean I do complain a lot
Copy Panda

I've got lots of B in me too, although lately, I do promote myself a ton more.
Holt

8. Sometimes we fall short, in whatever it may be that we strived to achieve, sometimes it just wasn’t enough, how are you in defeat?

A. Make excuses. (shinobi) x1
B. Accept it and move on, maybe next time. (Belserion, revo, Knightmare of heaven 0, syx, xi0, Organizized) x6
C. Dwell on it, letting it get to you, to the point you just give up on yourself.
D. Figure out what exactly went wrong so next time you are better prepared. (Linali, lakhan220, Lambu, Holt, SirSamuel016) x5
E. Sit alone in a dark room, with the only light coming from your computer as you browse MH, slowly peeling and eating oranges. (Crescent Jinx, Juviii, Copy Panda, GajeelNashi, Purity of Magi) x5
F. On to Cincinnati (Brandish) x1
G. A & D (Lady pompom) x1

A mix of A, and D, I think first it is hard to accept, then after pondering, I can see what was wrong and think about how to improve and change.
Lady pompom

Making excuses is not part of the arsenal of my character. If I failed, I failed, so I have to deal with it. Giving up is too easy, you are going nowhere with such attitude. I try to get better with whatever it is and come back much stronger.

Answer: B

We’ve all been there
Copy Panda

Not sure if it's a reference to someone in particular but I can see myself doing that.
GajeelNashi

I go through many phases, including beating myself up for a bit. Ultimately though, I settle on figuring out what wrong, because I hate defeat and doing so would prepare me so much more
Holt

ROFL what's that option E even. xDDD

I am kinda thinking between answer B and D, since it's always a mix between these two for me, but you know fuck it, let's do answer E for the lolz. XD

Gosh if I had more time, I had the perfect imagination idea for that answer for sure LMAO.
Purity of Magi

9. Sometimes we succeed, in those instances, how are you in victory?

A. Gracious and appreciative. (revo, Crescent Jinx, Lady pompom, Juviii, Lambu, Copy Panda, Holt) x7
B. Arrogant.
C. Attention seeker, you want people to know and applaud you. (shinobi) x1
D. Quiet, you say and do nothing, you are satisfied with yourself and the situation and that’s all you really care about, you relax and unwind, everything else is irrelevant. (Belserion, Knightmare of heaven 0, Linali, syx, xi0, Organizized) x6
E. Ambitious, you quickly move on to your next goal/challenge. (lakhan220, GajeelNashi, SirSamuel016, Purity of Magi) x4
F. On to Cincinnati (Brandish) x1

I might share the happiness with people closest to me
Linali

Tht win will only get stale with passing time. Always need something to look forward too.
lakhan220

Once I've truly won I like to enjoy victory while appreciating my rival's skill, healthy competition is born from respect.
Lambu

Again, it depends on the atmosphere. If it is not serious, I can be almost everything in a humorous way.

If it is the other way around, it is enough for me to know that I did well.

Answer: D

syx

Hm there's no option really encompassing 'be a toxic twat', it's somewhere between b and c. I'll go with A
Copy Panda

Like mentioned though, I promote myself because showing and increasing other's knowledge of your skill helps to bring more opportunities. Both of these are closely followed by moving on to the next goal
Holt

10. You’re being doubted, disrespected, told that you can’t do it, lots of yappin’ behind your back, what is your motivation?

A. I’m going to prove you wrong and when I do, I’m going to make sure I let you know that you were. (Lambu, Copy Panda) x2
B. I’ll prove you wrong and won’t even acknowledge you, I won’t say a word, I’ll walk past you and not say a single thing. (GajeelNashi, Holt, SirSamuel016, Purity of Magi) x4
C. Don’t care, whether it’s good or bad opinions, it’s none of my concern. In through one ear, out through the other. (Belserion, Crescent Jinx, Knightmare of heaven 0, lakhan220, syx) x5
D. Let it get to you, all the negativity creeps in and you start to believe it’s true. (shinobi) x1
E. You’re a bit surprised and while it’s difficult to deal with, you just try to ignore it and go about your business. (revo, Lady pompom, Juviii, Linali, xi0, Organizized) x6
F. My answer to 7. (Brandish) x1

Hey, that I know! I do my best to get over the bad criticism and try to disbelieve the ones that say bad things (and cry a lot in the meantime 8´D). I wouldn´t say "not caring" and it´s not my intention to just say people were wrong and rub it on their faces. I am more the type that would let circumstances prove them wrong (I wouldn´t even need to say a word for that). I let the situation prove people wrong (if they are) and keep quiet and patient until it happens while trying to ignore them or not let the negativity make me cry too much 8´D.
Lady pompom

It's not easy, but I’m doing my best
Linali

LMAO......as if those behind the back yappers are worth my time. And if disrespected or told in front, will do A & B combined
lakhan220

Those bastards will know what Im made of
Lambu

God, I don't know how I would get through life if I would care about people yapping about me. I'll stand my ground if I deem it necessary and may prove them wrong if the situation calls for it. But in most cases, it is not worth my time, so "in through one ear, out through the other".

Answer: C
syx

Arguably the first year into business and suffer lol
Copy Panda

Love proving people wrong and simply moving on. Rubbing in faces isn't my thing, but I do think it's also important to actually deliver in cases like this, because even though it might not affect you personally (if you've got good self-esteem), it could hurt future opportunities if you just ignore them
Holt

These situations lol. I will answer option B for this one
Purity of Magi

lakhan220

Isn't everyone doing it for that reason?
Lambu

I played this sheep because I was tagged first which considerable raises the chances of syx to accept an invitation. Furthermore, it was GrySun himself which makes it almost impossible to decline.

Answer: B
syx

I’m playing to respect my rival’s efforts!
Copy Panda

Nuff said

Answer B. Because you are actually getting fined by me.

Why you gotta ask me this when I do have one lying around which I could potentially polish up but am not so far very happy with... :darn

And I'd just written up a very standard, easy, quick Holiday Sheep as well. Now I kinda feel I should do the story Sheep... if anything because it's #100...

Sheep #100

Prologue

‘Death.’ ‘The Grim Reaper.’ ‘Harvester of Souls.’

He stared blankly at the meticulously polished mahogany desk in front of him.

‘Hel.’ ‘Santa Muerte.’ ‘Shinigami.’

He had been called many, many things in his time, but never before....
“Unemployed?” the woman on the other side of the desk said, with a perky smile.
“UM...” said the entity formerly known as Death.
“Ah, sorry. ‘Between jobs’ is the preferred term, I believe”, she corrected herself, then quickly continued: “Oh, it’s not a bad thing, not at all. Indeed, we’re looking for someone who can begin on very short notice.”
“AH,” said formerly-Death. Last time he had sat behind a desk like this, his talking too much had led to him being punched in the face. And not being punched in the face. Both at the same time. (Being a multi-dimensional entity existing in all of time and space at once, this was common-place, but nonetheless confusing when trying to explain it to mortals.) Thus, he had decided to use as few words as possible this time around.

“Yes, we at ClothAll pride ourselves on the diversity of our collection”, the woman went on, “and with the recent upswing in the gothic subculture, we need someone well-versed with its latest trends, such as yourself.” With a nod, she indicated Death’s black hooded robe. “Very chique. Oh, but in a dark, brooding way, of course.”
Death looked down at his garment for a second. ‘Latest trends’, he mused to himself. He had worn this robe since the days before Time itself.
“THANK YOU,” he answered. “IT IS… TIMELESS.”
“Oh, indeed!” the woman said, her smile nearly touching her ears at this point. “I must say, Mr…” For the fourth time this meeting, she checked her papers in case she had perhaps mid-read. “Mr… Human. You do seem perfect for this position.”
“I DO?” Death said, his tone filled with more disbelief than he would have liked.
“Oh, yes!” she exclaimed. “Can you be here on Monday?”
“I AM EVERYWHERE AT ALL TIMES,” Death began by habit, before remembering this was, in fact, no longer true. “I MEAN… YES.”
“Splendid!” the interviewer lady practically jumped up from her chair. “Welcome aboard!” She led him toward the door, then stopped. “Oh, forgive me, but I have to ask: ‘John D. Human’... What does the ‘D’ stand for?”

Death said, with as much confidence as he could muster: “DEFINITELY.”

Mr. ‘John Definitely Human’ left the ClothAll offices feeling better than he had in more than a year, after that Christmas affair which had ultimately led to his unemployment. And to think, he just happened to be interviewed by accident, while there on other… business. Now, at last, things were looking up.

Unfortunately, he himself did not, and so did not see the very heavy piano falling straight down towards him from one of the floors above.

"A Grim Day": a Story Sheep
(Sort of-sequel to Sheep #55- A Christmas Murder)

One.

Life as a paranormal detective is… strange. You have often tried to think of a better way to describe it, but in the end, ‘strange’ is the one word which really fits. However, usually that strangeness stems from something other-worldly or mythical. A pedestrian being crushed by a piano which no one knows where it actually came from, while definitely strange, compared to your usual cases is actually quite normal in its strangeness.

“Alright, Scotty”, you say to your assistant as you step onto the crime scene. “You have two minutes to explain what I’m doing at a, though remarkable, perfectly non-paranormal crime scene.”
“Sir!” Scotty exclaims. “Yes, of course, maste… I mean, sir.”

Not this again, you think to yourself. Scotty has been a valuable assistant to you for the last year and half, but he has been such a total fanboy ever since you solved the “Christmas Murder” case, as the tabloids called it. Even a year later, he still gets tongue-tied whenever he addresses you.

“Well, sir, you see this piano here, sir?” the assistant says.
“Pretty hard to miss, isn’t it?” you say. “Yes, I see the piano and the dead body underneath it.”
“Oh, of course sir, I know you’ve got brilliant eye-sight, sorry sir.” The flustered assistant, red-faced, looks down in shame.
“But… it’s not… really a body, sir,” he says.
“What do you mean, not really?” you ask, sceptically.
“It’s all, er, crushed bones, really”, Scotty says, nervously, as if saying something which made no sense.
“Just bones? That makes no sense”, you say, but seeing Scotty deflate, you add “but then, not much in this line of work does, huh?”
“Not really, sir. I can’t wrap my head ‘round it. There’s no blood, no… gooey stuff. A great day for the clean-up crew,” he dares joke. You laugh, out of equal parts pity and job-related morbidity.
“You’d better show me the body-... uh, bones”, you say, and Scotty obediently walks you over to the place where the piano struck.

You stare. A lot of the bones are indeed broken into tiny pieces, but the skull sits fully intact on the concrete, staring at you. And you recognize it. For some reason you get phantom pains in your hand.

“Do we have an ID on the victim?” you ask out of curiosity.
“Apparently he had just been employed at this here company, sir. His new head of staff told me so herself”, Scotty says, looking to his papers. “Weird name… John Definitely Human.”
“Well, Scotty, that’s one thing he definitely was not”, you say. “I met this… person, for lack of a better word, while working on the Santa Claus murder case. This, Scotty, is Death.”

Scotty’s eyes widen, probably at the mention of the case, while his jaw simultaneously drops at the victim’s identity, resulting in an intelligent exclaim of “Gnhhuh!?”

“Somehow the whole meeting completely, I dare say even forcibly slipped my mind until now… probably a defense mechanism of his.”
“Whoa… what does this mean for the case? Where do we even begin? Do you have any excellent ideas, sir?”

A. How the heck can Death be dead? For someone to be dead, Death needs to exist, right? Seriously, wtf?
B. What was Death even doing, getting a common store attendant job? Better take the head of staff at this company in for questioning.
C. Find out if there were any witnesses to the crime. Someone ought to have seen a huge friggin’ piano drop from somewhere.
D. Scotty did it!! Why else is he being so jittery?
E. ...did I punch Death in the face back during that other case? Was I really that crazy?
F. Let’s get some coffee. Because priorities.

You’re a paranormal detective arriving on the scene of a crime. It looks like a pretty “normal” murder, nothing “para” about it, until your fanboy/assistant Scotty, stuttering and tongue-tied around you, shows you there is no blood and no… gooey stuff - just bones. Upon further inspection, you realize that the victim is the personification of Death himself (whom you know from an earlier case). Scotty, in awe, asks you: “Whoa… so, any first thoughts on the case, sir?”

Two.

In the car on the way back, Scotty is unusually quiet.

“What’s up, Scotty?” you ask.
“Huh?” Scotty snaps out of some deep thought. “Oh, nothing sir, just thinking, sir.”
“About what?”
“Well… he really was a skeleton”, he says. “Even had the robe and all, although that was collected as evidence. No scythe though...” he says, in a tone of disappointment.
“What about it?” you ask.
“Well, I’m a bit of a pop culture geek”, Scotty admits. “There’s loads of different versions of Death in books, films, comics and stuff. But in the end he really was a walking skeleton…” Scotty ponders, with an eerie smile on his face. Then, turning to you, he asks: “Is that how you always pictured him? I mean, like, what’s your favorite personification of Death in pop culture?”

A. Board game-playing, sore loser Death, from Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey
B. Cat-loving, invested in humans (sometimes human-imitating) Death with a horse named Blinky, from Discworld series by Terry Pratchett
C. Sympathetic goth chick Death from Sandman universe by Neil Gaiman
D. Personal acquaintance of God, unimpressed by humans, practical and superior Death from Supernatural.
E. Mama’s boy and awkward with women-Death from Family Guy
F. Calm, chess playing, unavoidable Death from The Seventh Seal.
G. Other (specify)

Three.

You have had a strange feeling about Scotty ever since the case started. He is being weird...er than usual. But you decide to set those thoughts aside for now, as you enter the room where your first witness awaits.

“Interview with witness number one, Miss Teri Shoppèr...”
“Oh, very nice pronunciation, I like you already”, says the woman with the perky smile that you immediately want to rip off like a band-aid.
”That’s nice”, you say, irritated by the interruption. You take a big swig of coffee before diving into what you can tell will be a mentally trying conversation. “Now, tell me, Miss Shoppér; you were the last person to speak to the victim, correct?”
“Oh, he could have spoken to someone on his way out of the building,” says Miss Shoppér. “But I doubt it. Not the chatty type, him.”
“In any case, you spoke to him merely minutes before his death. Had you called him there?"
“No, he just randomly walked in, it seems." says Miss Shoppér. "It was an open employment interview,” she says. “Or ‘a first step towards your new family’ as I like to call them.”
“So he got the job?
“Oh, I hired him on the spot.”
“Isn’t that a bit strange? He had zero experience in the field and you wanted him to helm the newest branch of your store?”
“I found him to be perfectly qualified; I saw no issue in hiring him… though he did have a rather strange name” says Miss Teri Shoppèr. “We needed someone dark and brooding, with no one who would miss him-“ She stops herself for half a second, before continuing: “Oh, because of all the extra hours he would have to put in, I mean. Obviously. Tee hee.”

A. “I’ve heard enough! You’re the murderer! You killed him to create a dark, mysterious reputation and free publicity for your new gothic brand! Now give me your perfectly manicured hands and let me cuff you!”
B. “I’ve heard enough! You’re the murderer! When you led him toward the door you realized he was a walking skeleton and freaked out, but since you had already hired him, killing him was cheaper than immediately firing him. Now, cuffing time!!”
C. “I’ve heard enough! You’re the murderer… BECAUSE YOU’RE IRRITATING!”
D. … her name is literally Mystery Shopper? Can I arrest her for how stupid that is?
E. I still think Scotty is more suspicious, let this sweet lady go.

Four

Just as you’re about to act, you nearly fall over backwards in shock from seeing a weird-looking teenager with white facepaint literally appear out of thin air behind Miss Shoppér.

“What the actual f-” you begin, but before the curse word is out, then young man lets out a scream and a shrill “he SAW me, damn” before disappearing as quickly as he had appeared.

Obviously shook by this development, you let Miss Teri Shoppér off the hook, for now.

Who the hell was that kid? How did he bypass the Department’s ghost- and poltergeist-proof paranormality shields? Did he have something to do with the death of… well, Death? The best theory you can come up with on the spot is:

A. He’s a mad genius scientist kid who constructed a teleporter from parts of of his school calculator.
B.

C. A hallucination; somehow Miss Teri Shoppér slipped some kind of hallucinogen into your coffee when you weren’t watching.
D. He ate the Suki Suki no Mi.
E. Not a ghost. A… SUPER-GHOST!

Five

Let's take a little break from the story, because I wanna know: Do you believe in ghosts?

A. Yes
B. No
C. Uncertain

Six

Despite feeling pretty sure about your theory, you need someone to bounce your ideas off of. Upon inquiry, you learn that Scotty has left work early for the day, so you look up his address in the register and drive straight there.

Standing outside the door to the basement where, apparently, your assistant lives, you hear someone sobbing on the other side, and through the sobs a repeated phrase, like a mantra.

"He's dead… what have I done… he's dead… what have I..."

"Scotty, are you okay? It's me, open up!" You knock on the door repeatedly but get no answer in return. It is now quiet on the other side of the door, but you can hear a fast, unsteady breathing.

So you knock down the door.

The basement is lit by candles and flaming torches. The walls are clad in posters of living skeletons, black angels, Death in all different shapes and forms. Scotty is nowhere in sight.

On an altar of some sort lies an open book - looks like a grimoire. Before even looking at the page, you suspect what you will find. Unfortunately, you are correct.

The Rite of AshKente. The spell to summon Death.

"He didn't turn up."

Startled, you turn around to face Scotty, stepping out from behind the door you slammed open,with a deranged look in his eyes.

"I just wanted to see him, just once, but he didn't turn up. Totally ignored me. Sent me those, instead." He points to four glowing eyes in the corner, watching you.
"Cats. Cats are nice," you say. "Anyway, I believe I've seen and heard enough."
You light a cigarette on one of the torches.
"You contacted Death, saying to meet you at the ClothAll offices. Why else would he be there?" Proud of your theory, you continue: "Then you prepared a piano to drop on him as he showed up. And you might've gotten away with it too if I hadn't known him from before."

A. "Death didn't come when you called him, so you stalked him down and killed him out of spite. Time to face the other side of the prison bars, Scotty!"
B. "When Death didn't show up, you stalked him down and found out he'd been fired. You couldn't handle this pathetic truth about your idol so you'd rather see him dead. Admit it, Scotty!"
C. "... is that a picture of the Grim Reaper in a bikini? Seriously Scotty, get help."
D. "You're under arrest. But I'll consider letting you off the hook if I can keep the cats."

Back to the station you go, with your own assistant in cuffs.

Seven

At that very moment, the mystery kid appears again. “DAMN!” he shouts again, starting to fade away once more, but this time you're ready for it and grab him by the ear.

“Ow ow ow ow ow owiiiie” he wails.
“You got that right,” you say, “and that’s only the half of it unless you explain down at the precinct just who the heck you are - or what.”
“Okay - ow - I’ll tell - ow - you, just - ow - let go please- OUCH!”

“Interview with one Mr…”
“Mortimer White,” says the kid, his earlobe still red and throbbing in contrast to the white paint on his pouting face.
“Mortimer, it says on that little pin on your hoodie that you are an ‘employee in training’,” you say, pointing at a pink pin stuck to the kids chest. “What I want to know is - oh, and I love actually getting to say this line - who do you work for?
“Can’t really say,” Mortimer says. “I, er, don’t really know, as it were.”
You take a deep breath and lean forward, menacingly.
“I’ll ask you again. Who do you work for?” (You’re really enjoying this.)
“I swear sir, I don’t-”

A. You rush out of your seat, throwing your cup of coffee into the wall (in another dimension, a German Jojo fanboy screams), grabbing the kid by his collar and pushing him down hard into the table face-first, saying “You’ve got three seconds to tell m-”
B. You smile coldly at the kid, while putting on knuckle irons, saying “You’ve got three seconds to tell m-”
C. You try to calm both yourself and the kid - he's just a kid after all - before continuing; “You’ve got three seconds to tell m-”
D. You really wish you had a partner to do good cop / bad cop with you. Being a detective is nothing like the movies. (While thinking about this you must have a dead, psychotic look in your eyes, because…)

...that's as far as you get before Mortimer exclaims:

“I’M THE NEW DEATH!”

Eight

You recognize that bottomless voice, coming from the inside of your own head rather than from the kid’s mouth.
Reflexively, you let go of his collar, shaken. Mortimer looks just as shaken, himself.

“I did the voice! I totally pulled it off!” He does a little dance, then frantically shakes your hand. “Oh thank you, sir! I’ve been working on it for a year now but couldn’t get the hang of it!” He looks you straight in the eye and asks you: “As thanks, I’ll sneak up on someone you dislike and use the voice to speak the worst word you can think of into their ear… I mean head.”

Which makes you think: What is the worst word in the English language?

A. moist
B. squelch
C. mucus
D. yeast
E. gleet
F. phlegm
G. bae
H. other (specify)
...
I. the word ‘other’
J. the word ‘specify’

(That’s right, you won’t troll me that easily.)

Nine

“You’re… the ‘new’ Death?”
“Yes sir, I was chosen by… well, ‘the Superiors’, after the old Death was fired for messing with human affairs over a year ago.” The kid touches his nose conspiratorially. “But you know all about that, of course, since you were practically the one who got him fired.”
“Oh…” Your hand hurts again - and also doesn’t. “Well, setting that aside for now: Mortimer White, I hold you as a suspect in the murder of Death.” You cringe at how ridiculous this sounds. “Former Death, that is.” Didn’t sound any better.
“Why on earth would I do that?” Mortimer says, with a confused - or intrigued? - look on his face.
“I think you’ve been having a hard time adjusting to the job,” you say. “You realized that as long as the former Death was alive you wouldn’t achieve his voice; you had to paint your face white like a skull AND you had to wear a ridiculous black hooded sweatshirt instead of the official Death robes.”
“HEY!” he booms, visibly hurt. “This is my favorite hoodie, and I choose to wear it. It’s the logo of my favorite band, I’ll have you know.”

You take a closer look at it. If that’s not the worst band name you've ever heard, you don’t know what is. It says:

A. Brandish’s Bondage Bitches
B. Oral Syx
C. Zimbo’s Bimbos
D. The Gry-Humpers
E. Orgz and the Family Orgy
F. Barf-alla and the Hard(y)-ons
G. The Ass-Holts

Ten

“Sorry,” you say. “It’s an… interesting sweatshirt.”

For a moment, you stand there in silence, listening to the coffee dripping from the wall.

“You’re still totally under arrest, though.”

Okay, you've got them all lined up. This should be an easier case than last time, you think to yourself. Not nearly as many suspects. Time to go over the list.

A. Scotty. Motive: Overly obsessed with the idea of Death personified. When Death "ignored" him, Scotty stalked him and found out Death had become an unemployed loser; this drove him crazy and made him "kill his idol", so to speak.

B. Miss Teri Shoppér. Motive: To get free publicity among the Goth clientele by creating a mysterious, dark reputation for the company's Gothic clothing line. OR she realized she'd made a mistake hiring a walking skeleton and had to destroy him.

C. Mortimer White, the New Death. Motive: To fully become the New Death and everything that role entails, something he was unable to while former Death was alive.

D. Death himself - a suicide. Motive: Realized how utterly miserable life as a (sort of) human being is and set up his own suicide. When he, at an unplanned interview in the building where he was gonna kill hinself, was given a job, he momentarily forgot about his suicide set-up and was crushed to pieces anyway.

E. You, the Detective. You dream of writing crime novels and need inspiration from real life.

F. Someone else entirely - I remember last time.

…

...

Nope. Well, I guess you guys will decide who actually did it this time. :catshrug

11. Did this Sheep take overly long to answer?

A. Yes, a bit.
B. No, not very.
C. Never do this to me again
D. *screaming internally*
E. I filled it in randomly anyway.

Sheep closes when I get 10-15 PM's, or sometime in the mid-2020's – whichever happens first. :XD

Believe it or not but we had even longer story sheeps before :XD

Though they‘re quite a rarity, so always worth playing those, especially when the story‘s done well, which they usually are. I still remember several ones I liked, all from different people even.

Surprised that majority went with C at 4. Similar to questions like being a doctor doing surgery on a criminal etc. Several professions can and should be done objectively regardless of other details. And even then C is just a cheap copout out of doing an actual decision. Should‘ve left in only A and B :nah

Yea, fitting sheep to round out year, and to bring up the ton.

Lambu · Dec 24, 2019

Cool story sheep for #100, will make it after the somewhere after the 25th

Copy Panda · Dec 24, 2019

Awesome Orgz, I'll play

Organizized · Dec 27, 2019

So far I've got a whopping 1 PM.

Not that I was expecting tons of people to reply during Christmas. But maybe they would've if I had gone with the basic Sheep idea. :sweat

lakhan220 · Dec 29, 2019

Will send it tomorrow.

Organizized · Dec 31, 2019

@GrySun will you play? It's a bit rushed and not as... accomplished (?) as the first one that you liked so much, but still. Your answers last time were a treat.

@Lambu you still on to play? And @Juviii ?

@Linali you're the one who prompted me to go for this one instead of the simple one so I won't let you not play.

@revo -chan maybe?

No deadline yet. I'll end it at 10-15 replies; currently have 4. :XD
