Event Log: Assassin

[hadrielmods]

Who: Everyone!
What: The Assassin event
Where: Throughout the city
When: April 15th-23rd
Warnings: Inevitable character death, potential horror and gore and unpleasantness. Please remember to tag for warnings in the header if it things get too bad!

The morning of April 15th in Hadriel is cheerful, with artificial light streaming through your window. Your blankets are warm, jabberjays are shrieking, and you're probably going to experience a murder attempt today.

Maybe it'll be from a stranger, maybe it'll be from a friend, but the bottom line is that everybody is after somebody and nobody is safe (...okay, twelve people are safe, but that's beside the point). Time will only tell when you'll be overcome by that murderous rage and try to kill someone else. The best thing you can probably do at this point is stay calm, keep your head high, and try not to die for the next eight days.

Helpfully, Rage will have restocked her armory for the event, for those of you have yet to arm themselves. Additionally, for a limited time only, the armory will be stocked with bear traps, tripwire (in both 'general wire' and 'barbed wire' flavor), and voice recorders. Use all of them, use none of them, just get on out there and kill each other!

Oh, and one last thing...

[Later, the way Bob will know that something was very wrong with the attack, is the fact that he was walking Rocco when it happened. He sees Koda, and he knows, simply knows that he must be killed. With one last moment of pure lucidity, he walks to the nearest door of an empty building, and knots the leash off on the door handle, tying the puppy up. He turns away without his usual word of encouragement or pat on the head, and takes for steady steps directly towards the stranger walking down the street.

Koda will have a few seconds to react to the clear and purposeful rage in Bob's expression, before he's there and swinging.]

[He hears Bob's footsteps first, and turns to greet him, but can only pause in confusion at the look on his face.]

Uh...?

[And then there is punching oh God what-

He weaves around the first blow and catches a second in both hands. Bob's expression might be murderous but Koda's is intense confusion. He won't hold Bob when the man pulls back, but he does drop into a crouch, ready to defend himself.]

What are you doing?

[dangerous_dog]

[Not answering any questions, that's what. Bob's fist draws back, and he aims a short, sharp punch right at his face; let him block it if he likes, Bob just knows he needs to try to break him.

Another swing, with the other fist, faster now, aiming to slide through his defences. He won't stop, and he hits like a freight train; he's strong, and fast.]

[hungryasacaveman]

[The face punch gets blocked, but he feels its sting and the second one comes in and sinks into his ribs. He stumbles sideways, barely managing to stay upright, but he's finally caught on that Bob isn't going to stop, and so he responds in kind, coming in fast with a snarl on his face to tackle the man around his waist. And if that misses, a spinning kick is next in line. He's yet to meet someone stronger than him, but Bob's definitely making him wary.]

[dangerous_dog]

[The kick knocks him back, down to the ground and stunning him for a minute. Rocco, a few feet away, begins barking frantically, darting to the end of his lead and howling.]
