Chapter 13
Wrath wondered how all the homunculi had let Greed talk them into playing monopoly again. It clearly hadn't gone very well last time. Well, that might be why they all wanted to play. No one particularly liked losing to Sloth, even if he had been slightly more lively right after. Either way, Wrath was finished with his turn, and with all seven of them in the game he could probably doze off or read until his turn came around again.
Pride reached for the dice.
"Hold it!" Greed shouted.
Pride stopped and raised an eyebrow at him. Wrath was a little surprised too. You didn't just tell Pride what to do.
"The Prince has got to go first, remember?" Greed said.
Oh right. Greed was actually letting Ling take over so he could play. It made for an interesting game that went pretty differently from last time. This time, Greed was the first to lose, after spending his money on everything he landed on. He wanted to stomp out, but he had to stay so Ling could play. When she wasn't cheating, Lust was very good and beat almost all of them. But then Ling proved he did know what he was talking about and won.
Being beaten by Sloth was one thing. Being beaten by a lowly human was good enough reason for most of them to lose their minds and decide never to play this game again.
