round three - killers

[mewreview]

blank state round three



[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.

Seven of you walked out of this room last week, and seven of you re-enter it now. Let's hope your next trials will be as successful. When you're ready, the boxes and lighter in the center of the room await. Who will be the next victim?]

(OOC: As a reminder, the rules and submission post for killers can be found here!)

[Austria curtsies for the group.]

You're welcome.

[souredsweet]

[appropriate applause!! he looks genuinely impressed.]

That was a really impressive show!

[obeytherod]

Huhuhu... Now three of them are dead this week, and we haven't lost a single one of our own. Things are looking almost too easy.

[ladyofthehouse]

Mm. Well. It's a little early to be getting cocky.

Have you considered a muzzle for your host? I think he'd benefit from one.

[souredsweet]

[snickering...]

—Ah, but that's right. Gloating brings about bad luck, haven't you heard? ...Even though this week is worth a little gloating.

[obeytherod]

A muzzle? The girl he likes so much works well enough. ...For now. [His grin stretches a bit at that tell-tale pause.]

[psychup]

Amazing! You really did it!

[ladyofthehouse]

Ja, however I doubt the same trick will work again.

We'll need to get creative.

[psychup]

Next week, I'm fairly sure I'll succeed in getting them not to vote.

[souredsweet]

You got very close this week. It wound up working out for us in the end anyway, but that was impressive, too.

[psychup]

I can't really take any credit. Mine is pretty genuine about wanting to "save" us.

[souredsweet]

That kind of earnestness is a big help. I bet her reaction would be priceless, if she learned that the only thing she's helping is us.

[psychup]

Yes, don't worry. My host tries to put on a good show, but as you saw, she's really the fragile kind of person. If you apply enough pressure, she'll completely fall apart.

[souredsweet]

That shouldn't be too hard to manage... Hopefully she'll be able to help us out a little more before that.

[courthouserock]

Not bad at all. Your host really knows how to act. [He chuckles.] Imagine how she'll feel when she realizes everything she's done will lead to you taking over her precious people.

[ladyofthehouse]

[Centuries of experience absolving herself of blame and doing whatever it takes to extend her longevity... this spirit chose it's host well.]

It's not as if she'll have much say in the matter.
