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...

[ Arya keeps feinting, tempting Amos in until she's close enough to strike. She gets some cuts of her own: one on the leg, a frightening one on her lower stomach, one on her back. A few of them will scar. Arya doesn't care. She's spurred on by something much stronger -- relentless anger and adrenaline.

When Amos is close enough, Arya plunges her sword directly at his heart. ]

[Amos fares much worse, and is more bloody and a damned sight more desperate, fighting a losing battle. So far he's managed to stave off immediately crippling or life-threatening blows, but it's cost him both in blood and panic. It's not until the last possible moment that he realizes what Arya's managed to do, and though he wrenches aside, it's not enough to escape the blow.]

[Just enough to make it not immediately fatal, and for a moment it doesn't even hurt, the force of the stab staggering him back as the blade glaces over a rib and gouges through him. Chest wall and lung, not heart, a slower and more gruesome death. Amos catches his balance, loses his breath, and stumbles to one knee. His face is white with panic, but it doesn't hurt yet. Not yet. He knows it's bad, though, from the immediate way he can't breathe, one lung rapidly collapsing, blood pouring down his side.]
