MURDERING: A LIVE

[revolutionista]

Who: Stiletto and you!
Where: ROOFTOP OF A BUILDING outside the hotel
When: 361? 362? time sure flies past quickly!

[What's up everybody, Stiletto thinks she should get some points and also she got told to murder people onscreen.

When the Live goes... live... all the lights in the area outside the hotel flash brilliantly and then go out in good ol' Lightning flash. When visibility returns, the lights illuminate the figure of Stiletto standing on top of a nearby building, wind whipping her hair dramatically, her hands resting on the hilt of her SWORD planted before her.]

Listen up, Imeeji Productions! The name of my blade has been revealed to me. And though the imitations we are afforded here can never come close to Bakuzan, a weapon is meant to be wielded! I will not dishonor my blade by growing stale in my skill before it is returned to me.

[With this, she draws her sword ~DRAMATICALLY~, before pointing it at the camera just as dramatically.]

And thus I would test it on you! All those who dare, come forth and be slain by my hand!

[tl;dr: COME GET MURDERED BY A HOT GIRL WITH A SWORD. Revival and healing costs covered at your own expense, she's not running a murder charity here.]

[not on the rooftop

on the street below

looks up at her and just





walks back into the hotel BYE]

[normies get out]

[sunflowering]

[ There's a sIV standing below and just. Stares. ]

. . . Did any Peps or individuals on senstiIV actually say they're willing to heal you all, or are you just assuming.

[revolutionista]

[In order: absolutely no, absolutely yes.]

Those who choose to engage me do so at their own risk. If they fall by my hand, it's up to them to find someone to heal or revive them.

[sunflowering]

[ Wheeze ]

It's more like... making the healers do more work is a big inconvenience, you know? Maybe save the killing and maiming for in games? Especially when half the unit is on lockdown at the moment, thanks to a crazy psycho guy.

[revolutionista]

[Just kill the psycho too geez!]

You've come to Hell expecting convenience? Not every wound needs the attention of the healers, nor do they have to help all they come across.

[skyshard]

[ that was so flashy. he didn't expect something like this to occur while he was outside the dorm for the first time. he's not cool with murder but he doesn't quite realize how many murder happy people hang around this place and openly ... hold auditions for who they want to shank next... aka that she's serious.

aether is not volunteering (luckily for him), having stopped on the street below, and is munching on a food sample (of whatever), he wants to praise her dramatic performance for what it's worth. ]

Wow, that was a great performance entrance. [ yeaahh he's just a little bit clueless at the moment... and since paimon is absent, he has to make up for her some, too. ]

So, what is it?

[ because that was the big point to be made here, right, giving the weapon a name or something?!

(he could use a hand figuring out what is actually happening, if anyone is ... not terribly busy.) ]

[revolutionista]

[Sir. Who tf are you. Enjoy being subjected to her usual megawatt stare before she finally deigns to answer.]

The name of my blade is Bakuzan, its edge keener than anything else in the world. This [she points her current sword to the side] does not even come close to having its balance and power. But I will reclaim my blade and my purpose, and in preparation for that day I aim to train and hone my skill.

[And now!! Time for more theatrics, because she's just going to jump down from the roof and Verticality herself for the last few feet to avoid actual damage.]

So? Are you here to gawk or are you here to help me?

[You're definitely here to fight her, right.]

[skyshard]

[ just a short nobody, really... ]

So, you are saying... that is your sword but it has lost its powers and you are working to get them back for it?

[ he gives a small clap of his hands, smiling at her theatrics. ]

You grace and elegance is top-notch and matches your beauty wonderfully.

Do you really need to murder someone to get what you are looking for? It's a lot harder not to kill with a sword than the other way around, right?

[ he thought she was joking but she looks too serious about everything to not be serious about murder. after all, he's met murder-happy people before, so ... better play it safe.

since aether is a goodie-goodie protagonist, though, that also means he has to try and deter her from finding murder the best way to do what she's trying to do... if possible, anyway. ]

I think that sort of extra challenge would only accelerate your goal progress.

[ also no blood in your long hair!

as for the question about gawking vs fighting... yeeeeaaaaaah, sorry, he's a gawker. aether rubs a hand at the side of his head as if feeling self-conscious to disappoint. ]

Eh... I don't have my sword with me, so I wouldn't be much of an opponent. [ just a punching bag target. or a skewering target. ]

Sorry about it.

[avestan]

[casually floats up next to]

I'd say there's no way anyone will volunteer to get murdered, but who knows. With this impressive of a show, maybe it'll work.

[revolutionista]

[To be fair Doodle would make a good minion. She gives the slightest nod, still watching the people below.]

It doesn't matter much. I'll get points from this performance even if no one challenges me.

[avestan]

[he's already several people's minion but hey what's one more]

Sure. Personally I'm more interested in murder than points, but you do you.

[revolutionista]

[More minionism!! But also, it's nice to hear Doodle be so open about his murder interests. Maybe her unit is the best?]

The two do not have to be exclusive of each other.

[constellationprize]

Oh -

[ without floating up, tone casual, ]

Etty, you should make sure that you're being careful up there - okay...? Even if you have Verticality, it wouldn't be very good for you to lose your balance, would it...?

[revolutionista]

[STOP EMBARRASSING HER, MOM!!!! GEEZ!!!!]

Is your faith in me so shallow, Aradia?

[constellationprize]

Mn, it isn't anything like that, but it's a precarious - ...

[ a pause, as if correcting herself, ]

An unstable place to be in on top of a building like that too, isn't it? Of course, you're really strong and smart, so you'll definitely do your best, but you should be careful too, shouldn't you?

[revolutionista]

[MOM I KNOW WHAT PRECARIOUS MEANS

hmph!!!]

All that I do, I do with intent. If circumstances change, I change them to what I need them to be.

[Translation: she'll try.]

[rollplayinghouse]

...You should really keep the fights to the death away from the hotel. Some people aren't into that kind of thing.

[revolutionista]

[that's




probably a valid consideration.]

I will keep it in mind if I find a challenger.

[But also, going to float down to the ground/Glory level.]

I would accept a simple duel, of course. But dramatism seems to be a requirement for us to gain points for our Lives.

[Annnd actually checking her phone, ding dong where's the cash]

[rollplayinghouse]

Being overdramatic is our thing. Though you can also manage by just talking a lot.

[revolutionista]

[There's a bit of a pause, as though Stiletto is struggling with something internally.]

...I find myself cutting to the chase quicker than what is necessary for a monologue Live.

[Then again, all of her attempts have also been her trying to insult people and in that case it's better to go for something short but powerful rather than long-winded.]

[scattershot]

[Excuse you this is a breach of the peace.]

Slain?

Is death not easy enough in this place that we must make more?

[revolutionista]

[can't get her, copper!]

Those who challenge me do so at their own risk. And if you cannot see the difference between this and the games, you are a fool.

[scattershot]

And precisely what difference would that be? This is all for the sake of earning points, is it not? And a needless death is a needless death, regardless of whose hand inflicts it.

[revolutionista]

I force none to fight me. Those that choose to be my opponents can rely in full on themselves, not some random chance or the whims of the Production.
