Two gone already? That was quick. Thankfully she found herself sandwiched in the center of the group. Like, it’s the safest place. At least, she hopes so.

Naturally, she gravitates towards following those she recognizes. Although she didn’t trust for shit, she trusted him more than the others. Lex follows them to the stairwell, a trail of . . . something leading their way. She shivers, leaning to glare down into the darkness that taunts them. @serena and send scouts, smart. Another attempts to create a stable way for them to descend. The youngest of the bunch goes on the defense. They can help with that.

Whatever the substance oozing down the stairs doesn’t look pleasant. Is it poison? Blood? Paralyzing? No one wants to find out, and no one should, “Thorn, Aromatherapy,” she commands, a hand gently motioning towards the group.

The Shiny Roserade does as commanded. Her flowers shake, releasing a delicate pollen the floats through the stagnant air. It’s calming, healing. It will hopefully protect them against anything sinister the strange substance might try to inflict upon them.

Going down the stairs! Thorn uses AROMATHERAPY

TAGGING @killing game


[attr="class","pokkenger"]
with two peolple down already this game was starting to get a little bit exciting if not a bit nerve wracking. whoever the killer was they were pretty good at sneaking up on them and taking out their targets. as the two paths lay beofre them kazimir was inclined to head down the elevator, no way the killer could take out people if they were in an enclosed space! ....right?


"thing looks out of order but..." kaz stamps his foot on the floor where it looks like it was almost cracked a tiny bit. perhaps they could break through here? it was an option but it could also mean that they would fall to their doom. "well, leap before you look as they say, pyro jack why don't ya give us a hand here?" the rotom cooked up an overheat to help cook up the floor and weaken it a little bit for some breaking through.



taking the elevator!

This is all a game. [break][break] This is all a game...they had said so before, that no one is actually getting hurt, or killed. But the terror on the first two victims' faces as they're dragged away looks completely real. Luka's knees feel weak, but she doesn't scream or cry or grab onto for support, even though she'd like to. She just whimpers softly and stands frozen in place, save for the hand twisting desperately into the folds of her skirt. [break][break] This is such a pathetic display. The point of this contest to dazzle others with one's intellect and problem solving, not to stand sniveling like a child after suffering a fright. "Y-you're right. We should. But, um..." Her legs don't seem to be working properly. Luka takes a shuddering breath and looks towards her Musharna. "C-calm...can you use calm mind, please?" Plum glows a soft pink as she focuses on the tasks ahead, and Luka feels a sense of relief wash over herself as well. Enough that she can walk again, anyways. But now she can't very well help with the elevator, can she? [break][break] "Let's meet back up after this," she promises Matias. "Okay? We'll both um, survive...and regroup again!" [break][break] Carefully, she makes her way over to the stairs. Now that she and her partner are more focused, they should have an easier time getting down even if the steps are hazardous.

Melody saw that the lights went out and suddenly alexander and cardamom went missing. "AH WHAT THE FUCK. THAT'S SO CREEPY" she shouted as it was rather spooky as to how they got eliminated...would she be next? Over her dead body! She rushed over to the stairs, stopping just before she spots the blood on the steps. How rude! To leave such a nasty liquid behind just to make sure someone fell. [break][break]

She put her hands on her hips and took booger off of her head and stuck him onto the side railing "Alright booger, helping hand!" she said as Pyukumuku released his innards and stuck himself onto the railing to hold on tight. Melody used his arm to help keep herself steady as she walked down the steps to try and get the heck out of there.  [break][break]

Maybe going down the steps wasn't the best idea?

two deaths right off the bat was unexpected. he acts surprised, but then again, the murder game has to start from somewhere. he bows his head to the direction of their dead bodies and bows his head. "rest in peace," he mutters.

on hindsight, he doesn't even know the name of the victims. he knew of , but it's been so long that he has forgotten about his face.

when he turns around, he sees people getting the job done already.

"we should do recon."

the dragalge goes into a camouflage and stealth, going ahead of the crowd to watch how the moves go from a vantage.

Two down. So quickly. Cardamom was gone so quickly from the game. Who would start by aiming at children? Sure, someone else got caught, but what was the plan here? To act dumb at first by taking out the children? There was still way too much to presume, no time for that. [break][break]

Sticking close to and at the elevators, Ruby let her eyes drift curiously to and his rather unorthodox manner before shaking her head and ignoring it for now. "C'mon Groove, let's break open the elevators too." [break][break]

Sure enough, the Oranguru also used Future Sight. Energy building up within portals that formed behind them, only to be flung a few seconds into the future and slamming into the elevator doors. [break][break]

CONTEST APPRAISAL FROM THE #1 TARGET



THIS IS ALL THEATRICS, Fernando reminds himself. Nerves of steel remain cold to the touch, stainless when confronted with his brother succumbing to the first round. The clues surrounding his death are minimal—far from substantial enough to pinpoint a culprit, so we remains quiet.

A man of his own destiny, Fernando prefers the stairs to taking a chance with the elevator. While others clamber together to descend, he allows them to scout, using their SUBSTITUES as bait.

It is ’s ingenuity that coerces the Councilman forward. A flip of his wrist reveals the concealed Comfey he wears as an accessory. The darkness mutes the colorful assemble but a brief light radiates from the Pokemon’s body as it retrieves the STRING SHOT with a small TRICK.

Careful,” he whispers with slow, deliberate steps. He can feel the unstable footing as blood greases the friction out from under him.

Hold on if you’re worried about slipping,” he directs at as he passes. One last wave of the STRING SHOT gives her a chance to hold on should she choose to.

If the voice was to be trusted - if only the good die young - then perhaps Katherine had nothing to worry about.
[break][break]
Such a declaration instills courage in the woman, who’s quick to gesture for her Gengar to emerge. It seeps past her shadow first, akin to tar, until it materializes in its full form. Bright, red eyes scan the nearby rooms that the duo pass by. At times, she dares to try and open a door… And at times, so does Gengar itself.
[break][break]
And yet, despite that, they find themselves reaching the Elevator all the same. Just as others have.
[break][break]
Much like ‘s Gengar, Katherine’s own uses shadows to penetrate through the elevator’s floor. With a SMART SHADOW PUNCH, it seeks to force its way in— ignoring the stairs nearby.

WARNING: DANGER
12
4
THE KILLER HAS STRUCK.

The doors and flooring of the elevator splinter and warp, torn open by the combined force of your Pokemon's attacks. With the way now unobstructed, it's an easy matter for you and your partner to climb, float, or otherwise plunge screaming down the elevator shaft to the hotel lobby.

You're not sure who notices first. has not left the elevator.


As you regroup on the first floor with the others, a whirring, creaking sound from above warns of the impossible: the defunct elevator is coming down. You're able to get out of the way just in time as the twisted, smoking lift arrives. It sits there for a moment quietly before its crumpled doors open with a passive ding.  

The smoking husk of Violet's body is inside, her Rattata's jaws still busy crunching through a nest of open wires on the other side of the control panel. The rodent lets go as you spot it, hesitates, then flees back down the shaft. For all sights and appearances, the young woman's death seems to have been an unfortunate accident. It's a miracle the rest of you weren't electrocuted as well.

But you know better. This is the work of THE KILLER. 

Careful footsteps announce the arrival of the players from the stairs, who pick their way gingerly down the slippery steps to join you in the hotel lobby. As they emerge, many of them have to shield their eyes from the sudden light. Having spent much longer carefully feeling their way down through the darkness, they are blind to what comes next.



A gunshot rings out.

has the good grace to look surprised as he topples backwards as if in slow motion. A spot of red blossoms in the center of his shirt as he hits the greased flooring, slipping backwards into the waiting wings of his Corviknight.

--But Corviknight caves in like a stuffed toy, its steely shape warping and distorting around the body of its trainer. "Thomas" finds no support in the SUBSTITUTE as it pops under his weight. The two of them fall into the darkness beyond-- assumedly, the same place that ALEXANDER SILPH was taken. The real Corviknight is already gone-- or perhaps it had never been real to begin with.

As you mourn his passing, something clatters on the marble in front of you. It seems Thomas's glasses were knocked free from the impact. Strangely enough, there seems to be a small price tag now affixed to the nosebridge. You don't remember seeing that before.

Perhaps they serve a new function now...


VIOLET FAIRBANKS and GAVIN MERLINO have been KILLED.


"Two more Contestants have been eliminated!"  The announcement echoes from from the end of the hall, issuing from a pair of brightly-illuminated vending machines. "Are you getting a little nervous yet? Perhaps a refreshing drink will help clear your mind."

[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/777498159093514251/877056904432590898/silvermirror.mp3[/player]

After stocking up on snacks and soda at the vending machines, you're back to searching for an escape. 

Exploring the hotel lobby finds it abandoned, white covers pulled over sleek sofas and once-gleaming chandeliers now dull with dust and cobwebs. The front entrance to the hotel has been boarded up and seems impassable. 

However, the doors to the ATHLETIC CENTER seem unobstructed. As you pass down the hall, it becomes clear that electricity is active in this area. A roaring, crashing sound comes from the door marked SWIMMING POOL, whereas a noise like a submachine gun fires wild percussion from the TENNIS COURTS.

A door waits for you at the far end of each challenge-- but can you make it there?

The ball machine is out of control! Even now, high-powered fuzzy projectiles are being fired at an impossible rate towards any participants who enter the tennis court. Smack them back, defend yourself, or suffer the painful bruises of defeat!

REQUIRES
  • Any Physical move OR
  • Any Protection move
  • Cumulative 300 in rolls
This is no ordinary swimming pool! A ferocious current foams on its surface like whitewater, and the air above is practically a hurricane-force wind tunnel. Your Pokemon had better get in shape quick or otherwise target the control switch across the room!

CONTEST APPRAISAL FROM THE #1 TARGET



COULDN’T BE ME, Fernando thinks to himself as he transverses the obstacle with ease. Gratitude is given with a curt nod toward as everyone shuffles toward the end.

There, Fernando finds several items of interest. The businessman in him reminds him to collect his point and prudence staves off the urge to spend. But he’s not here to econ into midgame. He’s here to judge and leave on time; his hot streak of perfect attedance in Agility meetings is second to none.

    [/b][/ul]

    A brief break near the vending machine provides him with a sweet snack and drink to reinvigorate his Comfey. The lack of sunlight has caused the Pokemon to fatigue. After several bites and a swish of juice, the Pokemon chimes with an affirmative, “Com!

    While the others make use of their break, a special item catches his eyes. ’s glasses, price tag included, is picked up by the observant Silph. By the time anyone else notices, his long arms, a proportionate advantage afforded to him by being the tallest in the room by several inches, allows him to pocket it before anyone can contest.

    His perfect eyesight has no need for such a lens. However, something about the sharpness of its frames coerces him to wear them. On a whim, he puts them on, looking over the crowd.

    LOOKING THROUGH THE GLASSES, Fernando perceives the pure hearts and non-murderous innocence of ___ and ___.


    A click of his tongue is the only change to his expression. He keeps the information to himself, giving only a moment to consider the value of announcing his findings versus the risk at hand. While powerful, until GAVIN’S GLASSES can discern why is truly that bitch, these ocular powers of deduction aren’t strong enough to stand on their own.


    The game resumes when the group moves forward. Naturally, Fernando opts for the sound of crashing waves over bullets. A fresh bath will make sure he’s clean well before it’s time to appear via webcam. It doesn’t hurt that Comfey is more situated for hooking into place.

    GRASS KNOT roots them into place. The ferocious winds bite but he can hold his position with a properly conducted tether. It buys them a small window to target the control switch, occasionally using Fernando as a battery with GIGA DRAIN whenever the Pokemon proves too exhausted to try again.

    Side-eyes.


    "Holy shit." Doug muttered, eyes wide as saucers as the elevator opened up to reveal 's burnt up husk.

    "These ARE special effects, right?" He asked no one in particular as toppled next, the gunshot still ringing in his ear.

    As something clattered to the floor and bumped onto his shoe, the youth glanced down before slowly crouching, picking up the glasses.

    For some ungodly reason... They had a price tag now.

    "Macabre." He said dryly, whipping some 'blood' tainting the body of the things, before slowly bringing them to his face.

    "... Why the heck was that guy wearing sunglasses indoors?"

    OR HE WOULD HAVE IF SPIRAL HADN'T GOTTEN AHEAD OF ME.

    Instead, he followed along with everyone as they explored the lobby, before reaching the athletic center.

    Going into the tennis court, Doug yelped sunglasslessly as balls began flying, throwing himself out of the way as Krys sent a horde of little drone bees to slap aside and away the flying projectiles.



    TL;DR
    -Doug is buying the glasses!
    -Krys the Vespiqueen used Attack Order (physical, smart)!

    To no one’s surprise, more unfortunate participants fall victim to the ways of THE KILLER. By Katherine’s count, if the killer was to continue with the current pace, then they had… Seven or eight more rounds before the inevitable takes place and they all lose their lives.
    [break][break]
    It is equal parts frightening and equal parts exhilarating. Katherine couldn’t help but feel grateful for the adrenaline flowing in her veins.
    [break][break]
    Together, with Boo in tow, the elite four moves towards one of the vending machines to buy a SODA POP and a RAGE CANDYBAR before they have to proceed. The deaths of the fallen are not mourned by the trainer, but her ghost-type does take a moment to CONSUME THEIR DREAMS.
    [break][break]
    Their final thoughts will fuel it with much-needed power.
    [break][break]
    “Mm.”
    [break][break]
    Gengar arms both itself and Katherine with a HEX, shrouding their bodies with an ethereal, red veil. Although the hotel is determined to shove them out back into the main hall - they both prove resilient. They prove stubborn and insistent on weathering the storm.
    [break][break]
    Alas, the HEX proves incapable of stopping the current from wetting Katherine’s clothes. Soaked to the bone, she shivers by the time they reach the control switch on the other side of the room.
    [break][break]
    She wished she could trade places with or right now.

    With the appropriately-sized hole created (and Hideo freeing himself from ’s hold), descending down was fairly easy; his Beheeyem was more than capable of making their descent a stable one. Thank goodness his Psychic power had gotten strong enough for that; Elga could even take a few other people with them if they needed it.

    First floor reached, Hideo and Elga emerged from the elevator shaft - just in time to hear the elevator come down. Even though the two were already outside, they both took a few steps back, standing clear. Hideo was spared most of the details of what was inside, but was made aware that was “dead”.

    Before Hideo could parrot ’s question, a loud noise rang out - a gunshot. After the brief second it took Hideo to confirm he hadn’t been hit, he was informed of the new victim, .

    That was shocking,” Hideo dryly stated, before his attention was drawn to something else Elga had pointed out: vending machines. “Well, let’s go see what’s in here.” The pair approached the vending machines, Hideo getting more information about the contents than he did about the two deaths combined.

    He was quick to make his choice. “I think we could get two water bottles,” Hideo said. Pressing the correct buttons was easy with Elga guiding him, and he soon had a pair of Fresh Water bottles under his arms.

    Water obtained, it was time to make some progress. Between the two options, the pool seemed the best option - but only marginally. Neither Hideo nor Elga could swim well, and that wind would push back an attempt to float over. But Elga pointed out a fairly conspicuous switch in the distance - maybe that could work. “Elga, see if that switch’ll make it easier for us,” Hideo ordered, his Beheeyem nodding and trying to Psychically activate the switch.

    Purchase:  Fresh Water x2 (2 points total)
    Group Task: Fight the Current
    Move: Using Psychic (Special, Clever) on the switch to try and deactivate the hazard

    "hey why does it smell like fried-" kazimir's shoe bumps into something and as the lights come on his face contorts into a mix of horrified and confused as he suddenly stumbles backward into the wall of the elevator and scrambles his way to the door. "geez, for a simple game those special effects.... props to the costume and makeup department y'know?" he mentioned out loud as he made his way along with the others taking a glance towards the smoking and crispy body until more bad shit started to happen like this was your average b-list horror movie.

    someone got fucking shot.

    not the most "horror" way to go out but the fact that they were all blinded by a quick flash of light didn't make it any less nerve wracking. it also didn't help that the light seemed to be coming from a pair of operating vending machines that seemed to be the only thing working around here right now. "yeah i think i'll...pass. my appetite is kinda...scared to death."

    however as the group made their way further in it seemed like the vending machines weren't the only things operating in here by themselves as kazimir found himself walking over to the pool area where he could see a mini hurricane starting up inside. "alright well it looks like we gotta get to the other side of this storm, c'mon pyro jack i know ya can blow it back!" with that kazimir picked up his little ghostly oven and tossed it into the room where it opened up its door to blast back the winds with an ominous wind of its own to open a path forward for them to reach the control switch.
