round six - killers

blank state round four




[Once again, you awaken in your host's body at some point during the night. While the innocents in your room continue sleeping deeply, you head out into the hallway and enter the darkened room, where your fellow spirits are already gathering.

Only two of you remain. On the bright side, one of your biggest physical threats has been eliminated - while the odds are starting to look slim, if you play your cards right, you still may be able to get out of here with your shadows intact. There's no rule that says you can't kill anyone after you've been discovered, after all.

When you're ready, the boxes and lighter in the center of the room await. Who will be the next victim?]

now in the right spot wow...

Just the two of us, hm? [Kaoru seems on edge tonight, but not as much as the low numbers might suggest. just two now, but...]

...Isn't that lucky? Serena is one of the vulnerable this week. I almost wish Ty Lee was, though; that ability of hers is a pain. [even if it doesn't affect his host's body nearly as long as it does a human, whoops. EXTENSIVELY FAST HEALING SURE IS A BONUS.]

[Malik looks irritated and on edge as well, his lips pursed in a pout.]

Then let's go for Serena. She's helpful and those monsters can be used against us.

Mm... I agree. None of the rest are worth the vote, so she'll have mine. [he crosses his arms, looking thoughtful.]

Still, for all of the trouble that they've been causing us, even the extra deaths don't seem like enough punishment, right?
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  tch...!)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
The more that die, the more determined they get to live...like trapped rats! The only downside is is that they're winning.

[He pulls his lip back in a sneer.]

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
[YEAH THAT'S A PROBLEM...]

It's going to be difficult deterring them at this point... [and then, thoughtfully:] Are you up for a little extra work?
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  aw look the babies are fighting)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure if anything will... They know we'll kill them regardless of what they do.

[But he's intrigued and looks curious at that suggestion.] Keh... What did you have in mind?
souredsweet: breadcrusts (do your own grocery shopping)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's irritating, isn't it? Two successes and they feel like they've already made it free. [sighs! granted, he can see why they do... they're in a depressing situation now.

but, for that!!]


I don't think that anything we do will be as personally effective as Athena-san's necklace, but we could make things a little more difficult for them. Throw the weapons in the lake, ruin the medical supplies that they have left... Something like that. Do you have any suggestions?
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  some shadow-face distortion)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
[His lips pull into a cruel grin.]

We should leave them some motivational messages. If we have the time... We can't be seen, so we can only work at night. The weapons and medical supplies should be our first goal.
souredsweet: mewtube (quietly)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
My thoughts exactly. I would prioritize the weapons first, but most of them have skills or weapons of their own already... Ah, but a message or two might be nice, as well. We'll have to be quick about it with the limit, but I think it's workable.

Perhaps we should just pick one room for now, though, unless you would rather tackle two separately.
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  talk shit get shanked)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's better to do one right than two sloppily. As for weapons or the medical supplies...that depends.

Do we want to hamper their ability to fight, or their ability to heal after they've already don? If they know that they can't patch themselves up afterward it might stop them from fighting at all. Huhuhu... I'm sure we can find a way to make sure they know that much.

And once they're frightened out of attacking, it gives us some extra time.
souredsweet: breadcrusts (hear hear)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
Then we're agreed. One tonight. [a nod!

at that, he looks thoughtful.]
It's a good point... Hm. [he holds up a hand, counting off on his fingers.] Serena is the biggest threat, I think. Of those left, Ema, Maya, Ritsu and Klavier are likely the smallest threats. Even with a weapon, I don't think any of them would be able to manage a decent fight, right? And then there's Athena- [his expression grows a little sour upon mention of her name] -who would be able to put up more of one, but not by much.

Iceland and Norway have the same sturdiness that Austria had, and Norway has extensive knowledge on weapons. Yuyuko's profile mentioned spell cards, didn't it? That might be trouble later, but it's something she doesn't need a weapon for, nor was she very good at wielding one when my host saw her earlier. Ty Lee and Mai have their own... What about Harriet? Do you know whether or not she would keep a sword on her? If we only have to worry about two, possibly three people, then I would say that the clinic is our better choice.
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  you wanna die so soon?)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
Harriet does carry a sword with her, but it's one she came here with, not anything she got from the weapons room.

[He frowns, remembering his hosts cowardice.] But she seems to used it more to defend the others than to outright fight us. Norway and Iceland look like the only ones who would actually take something from that room.

Huhu... [And then he's smirking again in that delirious way he does.] And then there's my host. But as you know, he already ruined his chances at wielding anything against us.
souredsweet: breadcrusts (OH YOU)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
Then if that's the case, I don't think we have much to worry about, right? Nothing that destroying the weapons room would fix, anyway. [his nose wrinkles a little, but he doesn't seem quite as displeased anymore.]

That's a shame for him, but not for us. So the clinic, then...
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  tag ur it)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Then the clinic it is. If we work together, we should be able to destroy the brunt of their supplies.

Now, what sort of message should we leave them? Something that'll stir suspicion and take the groups' eyes off of us for a little while...

souredsweet: breadcrusts (there's a violence in everyone)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll just have to work as quickly as possible. [even if they can only ruin like half of the supplies, he's bitter enough right now to be satisfied with that...]

Hm... I think that it would be easier to stir their suspicions against the cat than each other. We could frame a message in a way to make the cat seem like it's still withholding information.
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  aw look the babies are fighting)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Something simple then...we'll let them over think. After all, they'll only imagine the worse.

[He's liking the sound of this more and more.] Huhuhu, they know the other spirits weren't "killed" when the hosts were, so maybe we can play off of that.
souredsweet: breadcrusts (it's a simple method)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[brightening up! he also seems to like the sound of that plan.]

Oh! If it's something simple, why don't we just do a tally of our own? Everyone depends on the cat's tally so thoroughly...
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  talk shit get shanked)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...Perfect. As soon as they start doubting the cat, their investigation will fall apart! [He grins with a sort of twisted, sadistic glee.]

What do you think, three or four? The two could represent Austria and Naho's possessors, but then I'm not sure about picking four when there's still four of us who have yet to open our cabinets.

We're in the spotlight now... Painting an even bigger target over our backs could be dangerous, but maybe if we went larger... If we did five that would imply someone had been repossessed.
souredsweet: mewtube (quietly)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It might... or it might make them quicker to defend the cat and point out that it's likely just us trying to spook them. I say that we go for three; it's a good number, right? Just enough to add a little doubt back without being too obvious.
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  aw look the babies are fighting)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Less really is more... It's risky, but at this point what isn't? Then let's compromise-- [He sweeps a hand out to point dramatically at Kaoru.] I want to write it in blood!
souredsweet: mewtube (rude internal monologue)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[gOD... okay he liked the pragmatism of most of the other spirits, but Malik's can't really be beaten in terms of ridiculous enthusiasm. he can't help but laugh.]

In blood? That's a dramatic touch, isn't it? What are we going to do, rub steaks on the wall? [SNICKERING...]
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  laughter)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you kidding? [Well obviously, yes...] My host would know if he touched something like that, and I want to do it!

[He grins, poking the other man and twisting his fingertip against the skin.] I'm sure your host wouldn't mind donating to our noble cause. Kahaha!

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE THINKS IT'D BE KIND OF FUNNY... it's a shame they can't enter the bedrooms or he'd totally suggest someone throwing a bunch of steaks on Malik's bed.

as for that, he simply nods, still very amused-looking. he's gonna have to be a semi-babysitter for a second, though!!]


All right, all right - as long as you don't go overboard. This is going to be my body soon, after all, and I want it to be in good shape! [a bright smile!]

—Try not to be too messy, either. [he reaches up, tapping his nose.] This body has an incredible sense of smell, so he might be able to identify it if I can't clean up easily, okay? If we knock enough cleaners over, the room itself should be fine. I doubt he'll want to get close enough to the wall to smell it, anyway.
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  tag ur it)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-27 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[His host might die if they did that.]

Okay, okay! I'll play nice... [He darts his tongue out to lick his lips as he softly says the words with a lopsided smile, no less wicked than before.]

I'll only mark up his legs. They're the furthest from his nose!
souredsweet: mewtube (quietly)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-27 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[wakes up covered in steaks... a fate worse than three nights of nightmares in a row tbh

he seems to consider this for a second before his nose wrinkles and he shakes his head. pragmatic even when dealing with a stab-happy coworker...]


That's a hassle. As long as you don't get any blood on my clothing, I can wash things off well enough that he won't be able to pick up the scent. Just cut a hand or something, okay? Then we don't have to worry about getting blood on anything else; I can just write directly on the wall.
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  he's actually pouting)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-28 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[It would be truly horrific... His poor, precious host!]

Feh...! Just a hand? You're no fun. [He pouts! But he seems to agree.]
souredsweet: mewtube (no offense!)

[personal profile] souredsweet 2014-04-28 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[GOOD ENOUGH. his tone is chiding when he speaks again, but it's a complete mismatch to his expression.]

Well, I'm not here to have fun, you know. I'm here to win.
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  aw look the babies are fighting)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-04-28 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Malik is right back around to chuckling evilly and sounding way too enthusiastic.]

Huhuhu... I don't see why we can't have a little of both. If we're going to win, we might as well have some fun while we're at it!
obeytherod: (YAMI  ‣  blank stare)
