round one - killers

[mewreview]

blank state round one



[At some point during the night, you awaken.

Whatever unfortunate soul had been residing in this body is no longer conscious. You're in control now - a malicious spirit who preys on people's guilt, using it as a doorway into their minds. It doesn't matter whether their guilt is justified or not; as long as they carry it, they leave themselves open to your possession.

Fortunately for them, and unfortunately for you, your power is still quite weak. You can only control them for a certain amount of time at night; in the morning, they will wake up with no memories of your presence whatsoever. Luckily, a few hours is all you need to begin setting up what will hopefully be a permanent occupation of this body.

After all, you and seven others are the only people who know the secret behind this place: everyone here, back in their own world, is either dead or about to die.

However, there's still a chance that a few of you may be able to survive. While the cat isn't going to bother saving nearly thirty people from death, if there were a great deal less...well, it might be more open to that suggestion. But in order for that to happen, you and your fellow spirits must prove that you deserve to live more than the rest of the people here. If you manage to outnumber the innocents, you'll be able to completely rewrite the person you're currently possessing and take their place in their world.

Of course, with the cat in charge of which cases everyone will be reviewing, this may prove harder than you think....

As you leave your bedroom and enter the hallway, you'll find a black door that wasn't there before during the day. The door opens into a darkened room, where you can meet the other spirits and discuss who to kill.]

(OOC: Please read this page to find out how this will work!)

My host is petrified! I'm sure there are plenty of others as weak as him. As long as we move wisely, victory is as good as ours.

She can hear emotions, you know. It's not hard for her to sense everyone's fear.

[His eyes widen excitedly.]

Her too? If my host had his magic stick with him, I could do the same. Too bad...

[He holds his arms out and lets out another deranged laugh.] Right now I can only observe, but even the smallest hint of fear is like a loose thread! All you have to do is tug on it a little and they'll unwind.
