Chapter 10
The great thing about all of them being in jail, was that Wrath was going around the board and paying them.
"Told you so," Ling bragged.
Well, Greed couldn't argue with that, but he didn't want to. He laughed quite openly. Wrath glared at him, but was quiet as he moved again. He was a little low on money after landing on Greed's property the turn before. He managed to skip over Envy's electric company property, but when he landed he sort of wished he'd hit that instead. He'd landed on an orange property.
"That's . . . mine. . ."
Everyone turned to Sloth in surprise.
"You're awake?" Greed asked.
That wasn't normal. Sloth usually was asleep unless he absolutely couldn't be. Which was often because he had to dig a tunnel, but that wasn't the point.
"Yeah," Sloth confirmed. "You move . . . too fast." Oh. So by the time he was asleep it was basically his turn again already. Everyone being in jail and having really short turns probably didn't help with that. "Such . . . a pain. Wrath . . . owes me. . ." Sloth dropped his head to look at his property.
However it could take him a while to put together how much Wrath owed him, and he might just fall asleep instead. Wrath knew how much was owed, and he knew it wasn't going to work out. He shoved his property towards Sloth and got up.
Envy laughed. Wrath stabbed them in side as he went.
Envy made a pained noise as he regenerated. "Hmph. I didn't even beat him. Pride lost to you and he just hung you from the ceiling," Envy said.
That was sort of a fair point, but Greed wasn't about to say so. "Hey! Do you know how long it took to get down from there?"
"Yeah, it was great."
