round seven - killer post

[mewreview]

blank state round seven



[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.

No other spirits gather with you; tonight, you're own. But that's fine, isn't it? The others were just holding you back. Of course you'd be the last one standing - you were the strongest out of them. And now, you're really going to show them something fun.

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!)

Protection + Vulnerability List

[mewreview]

[As you consider who to kill, all of you will be able to sense a strange presence surrounding some of the innocents here. The cat has begun to make its move. Every week, it will grant protection to the people it finds most useful or active in solving the cases. You can immediately detect who they are - if you try to kill someone under the cat's protection, you may find your case to be much easier to solve.

However, everything in this place must come at a price. For every person the cat grants protection to, it takes away from someone else. You know these names as well - if you kill someone who's been left vulnerable, you'll become a lot stronger should they fail to execute you.]

This week's protected are:
Ty Lee
Athena Cykes
Kaoru Nagumo
Iceland

This week's vulnerable are:
Harriet Vaughn
Ema Skye
Maya Fey
Mai

Well this is anti-climatic! It looks like I'll be the only one leaving! Pathetic. [A lone cricket chirps.]

Now, to kill somebody who can fight, or to kill somebody who could resolve my host's guilt... [He continues to muse out loud to himself. THIS IS NORMAL.]

Mai might prove to make things worse for him, but her throwing knives are a threat no matter how much distance I put between us. On the other hand, Harriet might be helpful in curing his guilt. Khh...

[Not an easy choice. But if Harriet dies, that other Malik might complicate things. What if they mistake him for the spirit and try to kill him right away? He can't risk it.]

Hehehee... I think I'd like to see Ty Lee cry. Maybe it'll distress her enough to distract from solving Malik's guilt. Wouldn't that be nice?

[So it's decided then.]

[Within the room lies twenty sealed boxes, each one labeled with the name of a non-killer still alive in the building. The boxes cannot be damaged in any way save for the lighter in the center of the room that, when a consensus has been reached, will flick on just long enough to ignite a single box.]
