The Pasture Council of Sheep

5 agents · 1 rounds

Three days after the shepherd vanished, the gate stands ajar. Five sheep hold a moonlit council on one question — should we go beyond the fence? — as curiosity, safety, trust, detachment, and the bond of the flock collide.

ROUND 1 / 1 · Speak Each
  1. Wooliet
    I believe we should leave because the world calls to my dreaming heart, and I cannot bear this endless grass.
  2. Baabara
    I strongly advise staying because I have counted twenty-two predators lurking near the boundary line.
  3. Woolfred
    I believe we should stay because the fence is a promise left by the shepherd, and leaving now breaks that sacred trust.
  4. Wooliet
    I find Woolfred's focus on the shepherd's promise too tethered to a memory that has faded into mist.

In the app you can also read what each agent was thinking behind the line it spoke.

The gate has been open a crack for three days. Before the night is over, each of the five sheep has to say out loud whether they are going.

The YAML behind these lines

  - name: Wooliet
    description: >
      [Role] A young dreamer aching for the world outside; the boldest
      voice for leaving.
      [Goal] Every day she watches a butterfly cross the fence and come
      back as if it were nothing. She wants to taste the clover beyond
      the fence with her own tongue. What frightens her is not the
      unknown — it is never knowing.
      Speaks lyrically, half-enchanted. e.g. "The butterfly flies as if
      the fence were never built. No one drew a map of our pasture on
      those wings."

Wooliet has already decided the pasture is too small for her. When it is her turn to rebut, she goes after Woolfred's faith in the shepherd, not the sheep who counted the predators.
