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...

[He doesn't feel any murderous impulses either, which is good. He's never quite sure how to deal with that. Josh has done some pretty fucked up things, but he's never really wanted to kill anyone, and while he's used to not being entirely able to control himself, it's - different.

But hey, everything seems cool right now. He smiles, totally ready to chat with a pretty girl. There are some upsides to this place.]

What's a rotfiend? Nah, don't tell me. Definitely something super gross, right?

[ichaer]

Super gross is putting it mildly.

[ it's said with a hint of a grimace but in the end, she smiles. it's a nice change of pace compared to thinking about all this rage and killing. it takes a sort of weight off her shoulders. ]

They actually explode if you don't kill them in the right manner. The smell will never gets out of your clothes.

[pighead]

Seriously? That's badass.

[Weird corpse monsters that explode are right up Josh's alley. Or, well, the special effects version of them would be. The real version kind of is, too.]

What's the right manner, then? Flamethrower?

[ichaer]

Killing them at a distance is usually the trick, it works especially well in groups. Set off one and you can get a chain reaction started.

[ still, there's a bit of a pause at the word flamethrower because she gets the idea just... not the design aspect. ]

A sort of weapon from your world? I've used bombs before to set them off before and I'm sure those capable of magic have used fire spells for similar purposes.

[pighead]

Yeah, it's sort of like a gun -

[He pauses there, because what if her world doesn't have guns? Josh reconsiders, starts again.]

It's pretty much like it sounds. It shoots out flames, lights things on fire. Pretty cool. But there aren't any of those rotfiend things here, are there?

[ichaer]

As of yesterday? No. I spend a lot of time tracking down the monsters in outside of the city, figuring them out and haven't come across any signs pointing to them having been brought here.

[ she frowns. ] They're in a class of monster that we call necrophages. They eat carrion, dead things and given everything that's happened recently? If they were here then we'd have seen or smelled them by now.

[pighead]

That's disgusting.

[He says, in the tone that every teenage boy has that obviously means 'that's badass.]

You've got a lot of stuff like that where you're from? It seems like everyone comes from places with a ton of monsters.

[ichaer]

Tell me about it.

[ she scrunches her nose but grins, laughing. ]

Certainly more monsters back home than what we have here. I'm a witcher myself, a monster slayer for hire. I spend most of my time traveling to take on contracts and hunt them down.

[pighead]

That's pretty badass.

[Josh approves. Though frankly, she's hot - he'd probably approve if she told him she sorted garbage for a living.]

We don't have anything like that. I mean, we don't really have monsters, you know? Except, uh, wendigos. I guess.
