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!)

That's right... We'll go after the ones nobody will miss first, and then strike them where it hurts later. Imagine them writhing in terror, as they know each dwindling "nobody" brings the ones they care about closer to death! [He lets out a breathy, eerie laugh.]

Now the real question is who are we going to make our first victim?

[souredsweet]

[he doesn't laugh, but the thought is enough to bring a cruel smile to his face.]

I would like to see that. We may have to travel safer paths at some points, though... [sensible targets might come before their entertainment, tragically.] Saenoki-san suggested aiming for someone with minimal ties first - a weak link. My suggestion was Julius.

[obeytherod]

The weakest link... There's no better place to start, is there? It's a shame though, I don't think anybody will be too sad to see him die.

But I can wait! This destructive build-up... It's part of the fun!

[souredsweet]

He does have one friend, I think... The loud man. Ace? It's a good way to test the waters, anyway; targeting someone that too many people like right away might make things more difficult for us.

[obeytherod]

His one friend is just as weak. It doesn't surprise me that they'd cling together. If he's just as vulnerable next week, then we can just take him out next.

[souredsweet]

That would be a little boring, since it's not like he has many friends, either... But I guess it would be a safe move.

[obeytherod]

He may not, but killing him off means the others will have more time to panic and fear for their own lives and their friends in the meantime. So when we do finally cut their pathetic lives short, it'll be well worth the wait!

[souredsweet]

I don't really have the patience for things like that in the same way that you do, I suppose. [shrugs like it ain't no thang, though.] We will have to wait and see what fortune the next week brings us.

[obeytherod]

I can hardly wait... Huhuhu...

[He seems to take nothing but pleasure in all of this.]
