JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OC Tournament #5: Round 1 Match 20: Casey Williams and Manta Malaise?
The results are in for Match 18. The game was lasting quite a long time, with Red Carpet Renaissance’s more aggressive playstyle hardly giving the room to breathe to the carefully-crafted tactics of the Sharp Lookers, but those very same plans at once keeping them from finding themselves getting clicked. Violet Lange was watching, still, invested in how the hell this could keep on going, what might finally turn the tides, only for her cell phone to vibrate, a text message appearing on it from a contact registered under: “C. Williams”
waiting at docks we still on?
“Oh, shit, what time is it?” Violet glanced upwards slightly, and cursed again as she realized what hour and minute read. “Yeah, I gotta go. Uh…” She waved at the ongoing game. “See ya ‘round, guys, you’ve been totally great!” Nobody noticed her walk away. Nobody wins! For an equal score of 66, everyone’s time was wasted!

Things seemed even for most of the voting period, with many of the votes being split, but late into it, a modest number of Sharp Lookers votes translated into a massive lead. For the first time, this resulted in votes splitting perfectly by .5s when the division was done, and since it would mean taking a point away from one side to give it to the other, that thirtieth pop point simply vanishes into the aether…
Half an hour later… “Uh… Kisa?” Masa asked, earning his partner’s attention. “You know how I said I’d watch the girl to make sure she didn’t pull somethin’ weird?” “Hm?” Kitose Saiko turned to face his friend, and noticed the lack of anybody he was standing beside. “Oh my god. How… How, Masa?” “I dunno!” He answered, sounding similarly bewildered, waving his hands as Kisa, in his frustration, lit up the entire remaining pack of his cigarettes and took a drag from each of them at once. “She just sorta… Was gone when I stopped paying attention.” “The woman is… Gone.” Dimitri was incredulous as well. “And there goes our hints on this Black Angel! The library is surely closed by now, so we’ve wasted a day and this town knows we’re looking.”
pranked again… violet lange, u r officially… epic
As Nebula’s synthetic voice remarked that and moved to silence, Ace couldn’t help but laugh. “Vitus is gonna be pissed too, that we were dragged off to play some game instead of tailing Peres… Haahhh, man, what were we thinking? This was her job, I bet. She just needed to waste our time awhile, get us heated and fighting each other, throwing piss around and playing dirty… Gave us the slip soon as our attentions were off her. Well played, I must admit… Well played…” “Distracting us from the Black Angel…” Dimitri stroked his chin. “And also from Peres? But I remember Laverne saying the Black Angel vigilante was banned from the Devil Blue, the hotel she works at. What could the common thread between them be..?” “Well, I’m annoyed too… Don’t just bail on an agreement you make…” Masa answered, before adding with a slight smile. “But hey, in some good news…” He held up a gift card, waving it between his fingers. “She left the CaraMel’s gift card, 200 USD just like she said, and that place? Not just to die for, from when Ray came back with stuff from there the other day, but I hear the ‘goss’ is ‘hot’ there too, as she said in that super-exaggerated little Valley Girl voice. What say I claim this card and treat you all? Call it a, uh… Ceasefire, for now.”
gonna be annoyed if its stale by the time i can actually eat it but ok sounds good
The game of assassin was fruitless, but the fruits of an assassination are still born, and two pairs of Stand Users fight to protect their local leaders from them. There’s still about a day to vote in that when this goes up. Scenario: South Aurelio - East of the Wormwood “I am so sorry, I just lost track of time… I got these four roped into this big assassin game, and I didn’t wanna bail, but…” Not long after Violet Lange officiated that little college game and the evening began to roll in that, again she found a Stand User’s company. Casey Williams, MFA member, sat in the passenger seat of a vibrant purple convertible, occasionally staring either at passing suburban scenery in the transition between the college town and suburban hellscape, or the way her companion’s lavender scarf billowed in the wind. “Look, I get it, I get it, shit happens, especially ‘round Midnight Sun. You don’t need to explain.” After a few moments of silence, tapping her hands against the outer door of the car as her arm hung over the window, Casey spoke up. “I, uh… Didn’t expect you to call me, but Kirk vouched for you. Why me, for… Whatever this is?” Violet had, that morning, asked Casey to aid her in an investigation after she finished up with some shit she had to do on campus, and still now, had said very little about what was going on sans its importance. “I trust you… For the same reason I took over the bifrost server, and the same reason I revealed myself to your team. André had faith in you all to do what was best, and, well, I have no idea what to do but follow his lead and use what power I have to do it. As for you in particular… I want to work with somebody my age, basically. No more than that.” “If you trust me so much,” Casey said, looking to the river to her left as the pair drove along a road opposite it, admiring how the setting sun reflected upon its rippling waves, “why haven’t you told me what we’re doing, then? You sounded like it was important, so I agreed to hear you out, but you’ve still been cagey.” “I wanted it to be in person, while we were speeding along,” Violet explained, looking out upon the road still, briefly glancing off in the distance and seeing a manor across the water, braking for a moment and pointing towards it. “See that house by the riverbank there?” She handed Casey a pair of binoculars, and the latter surmised, “looks like a dump.” “From the outside, and nobody has owned it for thirty years, yet…” She paused, as if she was about to say a name and reconsidered. “My contact - a high-schooler who comes and goes late at night, you wouldn’t know them, and I’m purposefully leaving them out of this, but I can vouch for their reliability - says that sometimes, late at night, delivery trucks bring perfectly good furniture to the bridge just North of here, and by morning, they seem to have just disappeared into the ground. I dunno if you pay attention to the news, but there’s a ‘Serial Killer’ who operates in this town, and besides that… Sixteen people who disappeared in this area are still missing, and haven’t had their bodies identified. The more research I’ve done lately, I’m completely certain of it. That ‘abandoned residence’ must be the ‘lair’ of this killer! It’s certainly big enough to hold that many people and then some… So I plan to break in.” “Serial killer..?” Casey’s head tilted slightly, then, suddenly, the words hit her as Violet resumed her drive. “Wait, what? So even if you’re right, you’re just gonna bust down this guy’s door without knowing what he’s capable of? Why this? Why you, and so covert?” “Because I’ve spent my life sneaking and slipping by to survive, clinging to stronger people. Because I used to roll with the kind of scum who would use Stands to do whatever the hell they wanted like we were better than everyone else. Because the last time I tried to get someone to take care of this killer, all she did was kill an innocent man in front of me! I’m tired of just being an ‘extra,’ moving pieces around and waiting in place, Casey. I’ve said that I just want to survive, but a friend of mine, every day, fights tooth and nail to make this place better. I’m going to be an adult and try, goddammit, and if you don’t want to do the same, I can just drop you off, and-” “Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Casey continued, raising her hand up, and then offering Violet a confident little smile. “When did I say I was going to refuse? Hell, lives are on the line, pedal to the metal! I hear this town has like two cops, and I sure don’t see either of them around!” “That’s what I like to hear…” Violet’s own lips curled upwards slightly, and she stepped on the gas. “We’re gonna totally tear shit up today.” They drove along the bridge in silence from there, Casey contemplating things as they sped along, occasionally stealing glances towards the house just what was now South of them. Not long after, though, she began to grow uncomfortable, pulling her shirt’s collar over her nose. “Eugh… What’s that smell now? We pass a dead skunk or something?” “That’s… I know this smell. That isn’t a skunk.” Violet gave a glance to her rear-view mirror, and her face stiffened. “Casey… Get out of the car, now! Ditch it!” “What? What is-” Casey stammered, surprised and trying to hurriedly work her seatbelt off as Violet began to jerk the vehicle around, as if intended on steering the thing straight into the river. As she did so, she glanced behind her, and though the rising shape of a figure on the back of the car was hard to make out in the twilit evening, there was certainly a massive, and vaguely humanoid, and there were eyes on her. There were so many eyes. Slightly down the Wormwood River… Ah, the Wormwood River. This massive landmark is a symbol of Los Fortuna in many ways. It came to exist during the city’s foundational years, it runs from the Northernmost mountains into the city itself, and quite symbolically, it splits the affluent Eastern portions of the city, highly regarded centers of culture and quality of life, with the Western, the environmentally unclean, the poorer, the portions of the city in which the greatest safety and stability comes from being within the care of a territorial gang which has earned the ire of countless other districts. This divide was sharp and clear in the way it split the affluently beloved outer suburbs of the Woods of Aurelio, whose schools, fine homes, esteemed country club, golf course, town hall, and most of the town’s voting centers all sat in the East. Manta Malaise thought this symbol of all which they sought to destroy a poetic place to take their pollution this evening. “This Metropolis which is so very very burdensome to me, and this humble hamlet so tantalizingly close to it nearby,” they began aloud, just in the off chance somebody was around to hear it (and if not, rehearsal was always useful), while the diesel-burning gas-guzzling pickup truck they purchased on the resort’s tab began dumping a container’s worth of sand and grit, “I have heard it said that this location in which we are entrapped it on the decline… Yet nay, I say. At least, nary the full picture… This place is but a microcosm of all that surrounds it, a more blatant case of all that is true elsewhere, as well… A fine example for the world, it will make.” As they spoke, a ripped-away purple car door floated by on the river, distracting them from speaking about how, if they repeat this process for a few weeks (maybe buy a new car every time), they would be able to kill the fish eggs and microorganisms that make up the key bottom of the river life’s food chain, eventually add nitrogen to the mix to toxically increase ugly and deadly algal growth, and aloud, they spoke “curious… That is a recognizable door of a quality automobile… To whom might it belong? Ah, no matter!” Seconds later, a bloodied figure with several open wounds along its back burst from the water, clinging to dear life to the floating door and beginning to kick in Manta’s direction with surprising strength. He seemed to have tall blond hair, green pants, and a sleeveless shirt, though those all were obviously soaked and stained both with water and blood. As he reached the shore nearby them, within the range of ‘Morgana Courts Danger’, he gasped and turned onto his wounded back. The young man who floated towards Manta Malaise said nothing, and did not even seem to notice the effects of their proximity as they approached and turned him around to get a look at the other side of the sleeveless shirt-clad figure. The life was fading from the blond man’s eyes, and his lips trembled, a faint grin on them. He did not say a word, but as Manta looked down, they realized that the phrase on the outfit he wore said more about his final feelings, the state of his body, than his voice ever could.
Ouch!
“What… What on this fetid dying earth is going on here?” They weren’t concerned, per se, but curious about the sudden arrival of this man. He continued not speaking, bringing a trembling hand up and away, pointing softly with a single finger Southwards, slightly - towards a shabby-looking abode. “Do you… Mean to send me there?” His strong lips curled into a serene smile, his hand dropped, and his eyes closed. “Nghh… I had not the time to have his final sounds heard in life a rejection of this quest, perished for naught…” Manta remarked aloud, gritting their teeth. “As if I would simply traipse towards what is not my business… Though, how did he get here through the water? He seemed to appear so suddenly…” They looked towards their truck. The motor was still running, but it had emptied its load fine. “I am curious,” they remarked, and so, after cranking the heat and AC of the vehicle as high as it could go, they abandoned it, diving into the water to see where this dead lad may have come from. ??? Casey awoke to that same odor again, but less severely so, in an uncomfortable, unsheeted mattress in what appeared to be a bunk room of sorts. As she rose, she had to avoid scraping her arm on a rusty spring, rubbing her eyes all the while. “Nngh, what’s..?” She looked around, and after glancing past her a few times, saw Violet laying in a similar situation, a bizarre metal collar around her neck poking out behind the scarf, but otherwise looking unharmed. “Violet..! Wake up, Violet!” “Nnghh… What’s..?” She sat up, feeling around for her beret and putting it on, glancing at Casey. “You’ve got a weird collar on you, Casey…” She felt at her own neck, then. “Oh.” “Look out for those things,” a casual-sounding, low voice uttered, earning the attention of the pair; a woman with dark, wavy hair and a velvet dress was filing her nails on one of the springs. Nearby her sat a cone-haired, dirty-blond high schooler, built like a football player and a varsity away from dressing like it. “When ‘that person’ brings in a ‘Stand User,’ they get a collar like that… Likes to make up little game rules, and if they break ‘em or leave, uh…” She jerked her thumb towards a far-off wall of the room filled with a few dozen bunks, in which a bloody, smoky outline shaped like a person outstretched was dried against the wall. “Poor bastard didn’t listen because the floor wasn’t literally lava… Hey, don’t jump now, yeah? That’s not the game being played right now.” “Palmer, you’re scaring the hell out of them, and that really isn’t useful right now… We’re going to get out soon, I’m sure of it,” another young woman’s voice called out, and as the voice seemed familiar, the face confirmed it. Though her long neat hair was short in an uneven cut, the blue blazer’s sleeves were destroyed, and the bowtie was loose, it was absolutely TV personality Jillian Heart. “Jill..?” Violet asked, tone lightening up immensely. She took a moment to process that, but then nodded. “Hey, Lange. You and Reed doing alright? And, uh, this a friend of yours?” “Yeah, hi,” Casey answered, “Casey Williams… College student.” “She’s cool, yeah,” Violet promised, looking around, “where’s Chad? Not like him to run off…” “That’s why we’re getting out soon,” Jill answered, happily, “we noticed it when you two were brought in! Broke open this statue in the courtyard and found a waterway that ‘Worm’ - that’s what the killer goes by here - has to have been using to get in and out. They have one of those ‘Stands,’ but we all can see it, so they wear it like a costume and it guards them… But Chad’s the strongest person here, and he’s been our rock through all of this! After Worm left again, he volunteered to go through it and find help, and with him, that means it’s as good as done!” “I see… So that makes how many people left here, then?” Casey started counting on her fingers. “Sixteen, minus you two,” Miss Palmer answered, “I’m, uh… Palmer, by the way. Drama teacher at the high school out here. Same story as everyone else here, more or less… Bet the Superintendent’d be happy to hear Elton here and Swift Taylor are still alive, though.” ‘Elton’ said nothing, still, simply sitting there, while Jill took over a bit to talk about the place. “I think I’m gonna start getting the lay of the land, then…” Casey said, feeling the need to take the initiative. “I’ve still got my Stand with me, thankfully, and if we can’t leave just because help shows up, that means we’re gonna have to fight to get out when this killer shows.” “Careful,” Jill warned, “there’s traps all over the damn place here… And ‘Worm’ changes them when we’re not looking, just like they change the furniture, or what doors lock how. Makes everyday in this big house hell, and it’s worst of all around the edges. Makes up most of how people die here…” “I’ll be careful,” Casey said with a nod, stepping out into the halls of the bizarre home. The underwater corridor Chad had needed to swim through to get out was brutal, and even Manta Malaise had felt tense handling it. Over four meters underwater, less than two meters wide, and the top of the dark, dirty, dank area was lined with rusty nails, blades, and the blood of the man who had attempted it, across a forty-meter stretch of water - slightly shorter than an Olympic swimming pool, but so much more claustrophobic, and with pressure much higher. They managed it, however, and were they able to speak now, would have commended the amateur cameraman who only swam as a summertime hobby for managing fatally what they were able to get through unscathed carefully. At the end of this gauntlet was a straight shot up, illuminated by moonlight, and so, Manta hurried upwards, taking a breath as they surveyed the area they had come out in. It was a large fountain on the Eastern end of a long, statue-decorated courtyard full of thorny ground. The crumbled, destroyed remains of such a statue, presumably having once sat atop this passage, was now in pieces, only a pair of outstretched arms on either side of them. “Look out, you damnable fool! The arms, the arms!!” A theatrical voice called out, and Manta looked its way to see a figure in a top hat, three-piece suit, and black cape with a handlebar moustache and unibrow, and before they could process it, an automated voice emerged from the crumbled head at the fountainside.

The stone arms seized their neck firmly, and so soon after they had breathed, they could not again. It was no matter for their strong arms to easily smash these damaged ones of stone, however, and soon, they crumbled and descended into the deep. However, Manta felt a new weight around their neck nonetheless; a metal collar. “So… You are the ‘help’ that damned Kroeger sought? Imposing and impressive-looking for sure, but entrapped like the rest of us now.” The dapper fellow complained. “Who are you to criticise me, when you yourself are enraptured in this place as well?” Manta asked, spying the man twirling his moustache and moving to do the same with their own facial hairs as if in challenge. “You dare insult Los Fortuna Parking Lot Magnate Born Bad? I was celebrating turning a GarfieldEATS into one, when I thought I might make my next grand step the transformation of the entire Wormwood River into the world’s largest parking lot as well!” Bad was twirling his moustache hard enough one might have thought it would catch alike. “It would have been a fortune for me, and a record for parking lot-kind!” “That would destroy the ecosystem of all of Los Fortuna, you know… Ingenious, if more brazen and avant-garde than I might have done,” Manta answered, “tell me now. What have I been caught in?” Through much villainous posturing, Born Bad explained similar basics of the situation to Manta that Jill had for Casey. “So my own curiosity has laid me in this ‘Worm’s’ tunnels… Yet, at once, I think it will do to undo this as well. Entrapment here stands in my mission’s way.” That conversation was cut short by the sound of the Westernmost balcony opening its doors, several meters above them, and a young woman with brown hair, eyes, and skin was looking down at them. She appeared, at once, confused and intimidated by their presence, which was the response Manta generally wanted to evoke. “Hey, you! Are… Did Chad send you?” Casey asked, clearing her throat. “How is he? Is he alright?” “If you mean the youth who died luring me here without a word, he is certainly deceased… And has caused for me a definite predicament of a pickle.” “Wh…” She sounded taken aback. “He’s dead? H-how can you sound so indifferent? That guy risked his life to get help for us, and-” “And I knew him not, and he got me trapped here. Why should I shed tears for his passing?” Before this argument could escalate further, a large, pristine-quality monitor which framed the upper Northern wall of the courtyard turned on on its own, and in it, was an image of the entrance foyer of the manor. Slowly, from its floor, that that thing Casey saw before emerged, idly twirling a saber in its hand and lifting it over its head as it leaped several meters into the air. (Shout-outs to Skelly-tan for this art!) A voice, both distorted and gargling yet perfectly coherent spoke from its wide maw. “Good evening, everybody, thanks for tuning in! It’s me, you all know me, your hero, the Conqueror Worm! Let’s give it up for our guests tonight… We’ve got a lot going on for our last big ‘game night!’ That’s right, you heard me, last one! Much as doin’ what I have here has been fun, after this, I mean to move onto bigger and better things… But I’ll never forget this place, pinky-promise!” There was a sort of twisted, uncanny elegance to the way ‘Worm’ paced around, both as if it were limping in agony and gliding effortlessly, the camera focused on it at all times. “Yep, Aurelio, you heard me right… Conqueror Worm is done bein’ your killer! The lot of you left in here are the end of a generation, and y’all are absolute treats to work with! So, with three Stand Users here, good an’ collared and here to have a time and a half, let’s make this a grand finale for the BOOKS! Stand Users,” it pointed its blade towards a small entranceway behind it, “that door there is locked, but also, in the right circumstance, the one way you’re gettin’ off my property without explodin’ into funny lil’ chunks! See!” The screen, then, turned into a showing of two maps of the building, with several spaces highlighted. “I just got finished slitherin’ around droppin’ off three ‘chips’ which ya scan against your own specific collars, and then, if you’ve unlocked that mini-foyer behind me, boom! They’re off, and you’re free! I just gotta make sure you die before then, and I can do it with ease! With this body of mine, I can grab anything, put it in there, and pass through any surface I can fit on, see! And to the first person t’get out of it alive? A SPECIAL gift’ll come!” “Didn’t mention the master key?” Another voice asked. “Well no I didn’t, but no way they can get that offa-” The camera returned to its view of Worm, though Violet was standing directly behind it, directly waggling a keycard in between her fingers. Not much further back, Jill was covering her mouth with clear amusement. “Wh- Why you!” He swung at her with her blade, and she dodged back, and Worm threw his head back and laughed. “Well, I’ll be… How’d you manage t’pull that off? That’s on MY person, INSIDE here!” “I started to steal things just for the rush and attention of it when I was seven years old,” Violet said something then, which the audio blurted out and her mouth was off-camera for, but the sound of which shook Worm to his core, his laughing growing slightly incredulous. As she did, she swiped the card over her collar, and it clanked to the ground in pieces. “Yeah, that’s right, I figured out exactly who you are… and now your whole audience knows.” “I mean sure, think that if y’want!” “Right… You probably censored it then.” She pouted, then struck a cool and casual pose. “No matter… I’ll just show them your corpse.” A big bushy white hound emerged from Violet’s person, then, ethereal and snarling and beautiful, and she called out, “This is the start of a new me! ‘Forgive and Forget’ is putting you down, Worm!” As the Stand-dog rushed forward, he chuckled. “Keep runnin’ into white Stand-dogs lately, huh… It’s gonna end for you like it did the last one, too! You shoulda just run!” F&F leapt into the air, taking aim for the throat underneath Worm’s pungent armor, but he lifted one arm, and as fangs sunk into that, his other swung its blade. Violet’s face went wide-eyed and pale, and she looked down at herself, clutching her stomach and noticing how red poured out. “Ooh, did I reach bone there? Tough break…” Worm pulled back the blade, removing it from Forgive and Forget’s midsection as the white dog dropped to the ground before its user, fading away as she fell to her knees. “Aw, y’didn’t realize? This ‘Saber of the Gold Knight’ I perma-borrowed from our local museum ain’t just a conversation-starter… I wouldn’t take it for no good reason at all!” “Violet..?” Jill asked, stepping back towards another room, too afraid of Worm to rush to her friend’s aid. “What… What even happened? Worm swung at the air, and… And…” Panicking, despite her resolve, Jill ran into the other room, a look of clear terror and guilt on her face. “…I dunno, blanked out there!” Worm chuckled a bit, shaking off its bitten, uninjured-looking arm and retracting the sword inside its own fetid rolls of rotten off-white flesh. “But whatever happened, that’s ONE down!” He kicked Violet into a corner to the sound of her whimpering and sighed, pacing around a bit as he held up his master keycard and sucked that, too, up in his person. “Won’t cause me much trouble like that, but I know the other two of ya are in my courtyard… Funny startin’ place, since I like to use that place for when a guest wants to just say ‘I give up! End it here!’ Real useful tool for that bit of mercy, y’know? But anyway, the show goes on, and one-on-one is more interesting anyway! First one t’get to the end, I’ll even throw in an EXCLUSIVE interview to make it worth your while! But I’m not gonna keep the viewers at home waitin’ anymore saying more, since this is already goin’ on a little while, and you’re our stars still! So, without further ado…” “OPEN THE GAME!!! Man is that SATISFYING t’say!” Location: The estate of the Conqueror Worm, a two-floor building straight out of a Survival Horror. The whole place is hanging with an odd smell, and walls of most of the rooms are dotted with realistic murals of bones and various body parts - given Conqueror Worm’s ability, one must wonder how they were made. 1F MAP, 2F MAP. Due to interests of character limit, the details of each room in the estate can be found here. Most of the rooms are pretty simple, though, so don’t be intimidated by that. The players are denoted by the circles marked with their character’s initials, with Manta standing in the fountain on the far-East end of the Courtyard of Despair, and Casey standing on the Western second-floor balcony overlooking it. Worm, meanwhile, starts in the first floor’s entrance hall, marked with a question mark. The C marked squares and the M marked squares are the chips that Casey and Manta need respectively, scanning which against their collars will ‘count’ them as read. For what it’s worth, the Violet chips were in the hot tub, freezer, and conservatory, but that is completely irrelevant now. The circles with numbers in them represent the nonstand-using Survivors present in the area. Exact details on each of them aren’t particularly important, but a list of their names can be found here. The personality blurbs and occupations listed aren’t really relevant for the match’s sake; even the sports stars have been brought to a point where they have the same stats as everyone else. The X and Y marked rectangles are locked doors and their respective keys are somewhere on the map denoted by the X and Y marked diamonds; these function not unlike car keys; though they can be used to physically lock and unlock the door in person with a turn, it’s much more convenient that one press of the buttons on them can instantly lock and unlock every door on the map marked with the correct letter. The “F” marked square is the keycard that unlocks the finish line room. Several of these rooms have traps which Worm knows about, but the players will not be given foreknowledge of all of them. These are already set in stone, however, and it will be up to the attentiveness of the players in following the location descriptions not to fall victim to these; hints are provided, basically, and they’re designed not to be too hard to respond to if you see them coming. The rooms’ ceilings are generally quite high, three and a half meters above the ground, with about half a meter of space between the ceiling of one and floor above - basically, being a story directly above or below Manta is NOT enough to be within the range of Morgana Courts Danger. Goal: Casey and Manta, your own survival is priority number one here. Try to get yourself out of this situation alive! In order to do so, you must deactivate your own collar through the insertion of three chips placed around the facility, where labeled on the map. Free yourself and escape alive. That is your priority, and you are under no obligation to help anybody else if you have no desire to. Leaving the map for longer than five seconds without outright moving through the finish space marked on the map will result in the collars detonating, even if all three chips are inserted. Conqueror Worm, kill Casey and Manta by any means necessary. A player character will win if their score surpasses that of the Conqueror Worm’s, while receiving less will result in elimination. A tie will be regarded as normal. This match, thus, has special voting rules. Basically, there are four valid voting options in this: ‘Casey and Manta,’ ‘Manta and Worm,’ ‘Casey and Worm,’ and ‘Conqueror Worm,’ depending on if a voter believes that both players manage to escape, one of them is stopped by the killer, or both of them are. NPC Information: ‘Conqueror Worm’ Sheet (Plain Text Version) Additional Information: Unless noted otherwise, all doors are wooden. While there are several unique NPCs throughout the estate, functionally, all of them can generally be expected to act in the same way: they have 222 stats with irrelevant special skills, and generally speaking, do not want to die, and will act in accordance with things they believe to follow that end, though they are not particularly skilled in identifying traps on their own. Manta Malaise frightens them, however, so they may find they require a little more effort to convince people to follow them around than Casey would be able to. Born Bad (“1” on the map), a fellow Dastardly-looking villainous caricature and thus kindred spirit of theirs, is the sole initial exception. Violet Lange is bleeding and unconscious, and will in no capacity be able to assist, but still alive and should remain so as long as her particular injuries are not aggravated and the game does not take too agonizingly long. The killer has already forgotten about her. Through review of previous materials, the players do have sufficient information to correctly identify the user of Conqueror Worm, who is, in fact, a character who appeared in the previous Suburb match. They will be allotted one guess, accusation bolded, in the text of the strategy, to name the person. There is no penalty for an incorrect guess, but a correct guess will see ten bonus points awarded; to one side if only they guess it, while both receive five if both do. One hint: they were present at Match 8’s baseball game. The chips are extremely durable, but if they are rendered inaccessible or removed from the premises, a safety switch will force them to be treated as if they were simply activated and used; Worm isn’t interested in a game where victory or loss is impossible. The traps themselves will be revealed throughout the first segment of the killer’s strategy, and take up characters in as much, but the existence of these are an indisputable fact which the players must be wise to either avoid or work around. Though his durability and endurance are exceptional to the point where a fight would be immensely difficult, the killer also possesses a ‘master key’ which, if utilized, can be scanned against the collars to unlock them, unlock the front gate, and unlock any of the electronically-locked doors in the facility.
“No escape, huh? I didn’t want one anyway. That was never part of the plan.” You came here for a reason, even if you’re still trying to define what, exactly, that reason is to you. Whatever you think being a hero might mean in this situation, live up to the standard you define for yourself!
“The greatest threat to the peace of my heart isn’t Jotaro! It’s him! Josuke Higashikata!” This is an indubitably vexing situation into which you have been brought. While you abscond from this, make certain that you find clever ways to get back at that bastard who has entrapped you here!

The square, the promenade, and the sand at the Lotus Tower on this beach are incredibly available with activities.
6. Eat Street Foods
While walking along the streets of Nha Trang, tourists will cross a lot of street vendors as well as their tasty home prepared meals. Because this is a coastal city, so Nha Trang seafood is fresh and bountiful. Actually, in order to try the real taste of street food, it is recommended to get out of the tourist centre. There are some good places to eat while walking distance or hiring a short scoot with xe om. There are some must-try street foods you should not skip when visiting NhaTrang, which are: § Thit bo nuong la lot (Thịt bò nướng lá lốt): this dish is a popular street snack often eaten in the late afternoon. Beef is deliciously wrapped in lo lot leaves and then grilled. The leaves will impart an herbal flavor to the beef meat while still holding in the tasty juices. The best place to try this food is on Bach Dang (Bạch Đằng) Street, right at the intersection with Mac Dinh Chi (Mạc Đĩnh Chi). Here customers will sit on miniature plastic stools and enjoy the food while also seeing the daily lives of people walking around. In addition to Thit bo nuong la lot, you also enjoy other tasty snacks, including Banh Trang Nuong, which is made by grilled rice paper topped with some simple ingredients like green onions, quail eggs, minced mushrooms. This smokey, savory and crunchy treat just costs you no more 10,000 VND each. § Nem nuong Ninh Hoa (Nem nướng Ninh Hòa): this is a type of food suitable for dining experience. Found throughout Vietnam, but Nem Nuong in Nha Trang is particularly different from that in other cities. Originated in Ninh Hoa district, nem nuong Ninh Hoa is now well-known in the whole city of Nha Trang. Your dish will be filled with platters of the grilled pork meat balls, rice paper, lettuce leaves, fresh herbs, rice vermicelli, garlic, and chilies. As a customer, you will make wraps by your own and then dunk the roll into the tasty fish sauce which is sweet-spicy. There are some places for you to try nem nuong Ninh Hoa, which are at Ngoc Tien (Ngọc Tiên) (No.59 Le Thanh Phuong (Lê Thanh Phương) Street), or at Nem Dang Van Quyen (Nem Đặng Văn Quyên) (No. 16A Lan Ong (Lãn Ông) Street). § Banh Can: another great street food in Nha Trang to enjoy is banh can, which are mini rice flour pancakes skillfully topped with fresh /dried meat and seafood, egg, cooked in the round pans over hot coals. These pancakes are well served with fatty pork meatballs along with shredded mango (green type). In order to eat, you need to add three parts mentioned above into a bowl which is dressed with chopped green onions so that all the flavors will get soaked up. Now, you could find Banh Can (bánh căn) all over Nha Trang. According to many experienced tourists, the best place to try this dish is at no.51 To Hien Thanh (Tô Hiến Thành) Street. § Seafood: Nha Trang is very well-known for its seafood (hải sản). If you want to get the best experience, it is recommended to head to the seafood restaurants in Nha Trang, but enjoying seafood along the beach supplied by local vendors also brings to you a unique experience. Normally, seafood is priced by its weight. Just simply eye the display of the creatures put in buckets and on ice, then point at the items you want and ask for the price per unit. With the price agreed between you and the vendor, indicate the amount you want, watch the vendor weighs it and write it on the bill. You can choose the seafood you want by yourself and then decide how you want it be cooked here. You could often choose barbecued, steamed, hot pot or fried. Just a plate of steamed squid along with four prawns fried with shallots is enough for an individual to enjoy. Do not enjoy the food without having a Saigon beer to flavor up your experience. However, it is worth noting that Vietnam could be hard on vegetarians (chay) because many of the Vietnamese dishes as well as street food often has some kind of seafood, meat, or fish sauce. However, herbivores could still try some versions of classic Vietnamese eats such as grilled lemongrass grilled with beef or pork wrapped in lo lot leaves, with a little bit mock meat made of bean and soy.
7. Join In A Cooking Class
Because Vietnamese food is starting to be recognized and appreciated all over the world, joining in a cooking class is a great idea for any tourist to experience this wonderful cuisine in the closest way. A half of day of taking a class often starts with a trip to the nearby market to select and buy fresh herbs, meats and spices. Then, when coming back to the kitchen, you will know how to deal with a wok and the right way to chop, slice and grind. § Location: No. 72 Nguyen Thien Thuat (Nguyễn Thiện Thuật) Street, Nha Trang
8. Try Out Nha Trang Paintball

Bicycles and motorbikes are available for tourists to rent from shops and hotels in the tourist centre of the city. In case you do not care much about the heat, then cover sights in the city, such as Long Son (Long Sơn) pagoda, markets, Ponagar Cham Towers by riding bicycle. For those who want to hire a motorbike, then day trips to Ba Ho (Ba Hồ) Waterfalls, the mud baths, Doc Let Dốc Lết Beach, Bai Dai (Bãi Dài) Beach are interesting ideas. Actually, driving in Nha Trang might be less intense than in other busy cities of Vietnam, like Ho Chi Minh (Hồ Chí Minh) City and Ha Noi (Hà Nội), and the pace here is rather slow. Nonetheless, Nha Trang should not be your first try when it comes to driving a motorbike. If you want to rent, then the motorbikes will cost about 80,000 VND each day, while the automatic scooters will cost about over 100,000 VND each day. Now, helmets are required by Vietnamese law. While motorcycling, you should be careful of roundabouts and watch out for trucks and buses – remember the bigger the vehicle is, the less the person driving it will danger both their lives and others’. A variety of motorcycle tour enterprises are available in Nha Trang and “Easy Rider” is a great option. If you want to enjoy the great, peaceful countryside of north central coastal region of Vietnam, then riding a bike is the best way to do. There are some organized tours which will take you through rural areas while also guiding you to visit some historic sites. You can combine riding bicycle with rafting down the Cai River (Sông Cái). Normally, tours include light lunches.
12. Enjoy Boat Cruise
Flanked by over 70 islands, Nha Trang’s sea water is clear so plethora of boat trips along with the easy availability of booking agents is really a self-explanatory. The common trip route includes Mun (Mun), Mieu (Miễu), Mot (Một), and Tam (Tằm) islands. A trip on a packed boat often includes lunch, transport, and a few stops for sunbathing at beautiful beaches along with an aquarium with no fees. Actually, boat trip in Nha Trang is a synonym for “booze cruise” because the trip is much more about drinking than seeing fish. There are some choices when it comes to boat trip for tourists. For example, the most popular with those packers is the Funky Money which includes stops at floating bars, and fun and memorable live entertainment from the Funky Monkey Boy Band. You could book directly from the official office or from your hotel. If you want to get a family-friendly, upscale experience, Emperor Cruises will offer both day and overnight trips on the luxury junk exploring Nha Trang bay. The day trip will include seafood lunch along with alcohol, full equipment for snorkeling. The sunset cocktail plus with dinner cruise is more affordable, with unlimited cocktails, wine, beer, and a five-course seafood dinner.
13. Relax With Blind Massage
While walking Nha Trang’s tourist centre, you will see a few places presenting the title of blind massage. Just one hour of body massage costs less than 100,000 VN. It brings an experience similar to hybrid between being tenderized with a tough steak and Thai-style pressure points, throughout your whole body, from head to toes. The strokes actually are vigorous and massagers do not use hot stones.
14. Experience Hot Air Balloon Ride
Built in Hon Tam Island, the newly renovated centre for hot air balloon rides operates near Pham Van Dong (Pạam Văn Đồng) Street. The hot air balloon has a protective net plus with solid handrails. The rides will take you to the height of 150 meters with about 15 to 20 stop for you to enjoy the spectacular panoramic bird’s eye view of the whole Nha Trang city. You can also take unique, breath-taking aerial photos of the bay as well as the sea beyond.
15. Visit The National Oceanographic Museum
Another idea in this list of great things to do in Nha Trang is checking out the National Oceanographic Museum (Bảo Tàng Hải Dương Học Quốc Gia). Located at the far south end of this city, the museum is ideal for those who are not the fan of diving as here they will find tanks of marine life along with stuffed birds as well as sea mammals.
16. Visit A Fishing Village
Visiting around 10 kms south of Nha Trang, you will find a few floating villages. These places have majorly been populated by poorest people over many years who cannot afford a true house on land and they nearly make a living out of fishing farming and fishing. Nowadays, they could also make an additional income from tourism in places like Nha Trang because a lot of tourists like to pop by and witness the special way of their life. Visiting around the village on their small boats is really a well worth experience. The easiest way you can do it by ordering one of the organized boat tours out of the city center, and also making sure that the boats popping by the floating villages.
17. See The Vinpearl Resort On The Cable Car
The cable car linking Nha Trang to Vinpearl has a length of over 3km and is held over 9 pillars. Before this transporting form was developed, there is only one way to reach Vinpearl – by boat. The cable car of Nha Trang travels a distance of about 3320 meters, contains 65 booths, where the cabins could accommodate up to 8 individuals. It is capable of transporting of about 1500 people each hour and is considered as the longest ropeway in both Vietnam and in the world. With just 9 minutes, you can go from Nha Trang to Vinpearl by using a cable car. Previously, the ferry takes about 20 minutes while the boat takes 7 minutes. So, this cable car is not only the most shortest and convenient path to Vinpearl, but also allows tourists to see the spectacular view of the privileged bay of Nha Trang and Nha Trang city from above. It is recommended to enjoy this experience at night as it will give you a really special moment to witness the whole Nha Trang in beautiful night lights.
18. Go Ahead To Yang Bay
The last idea when it comes to things to do in Nha Trang is heading to Yang Bay, a charming excursion from the city. Upon getting there, you can find three separate sets of falls: Yang Bay, Ho Cho, and Yang Khang. Nevertheless, when getting to Yang Bay, it rather matters to climb to discover all of three waterfalls. Being surrounded by mountainous and forestation terrain, it is a good idea for those who want to escape from the crowds of the beach for a while. I have picked up a few great things to do in Nha Trang along the way in my list. In general, Nha Trang has a remarkable range of fun activities catering to most market segment. Don’t worry if you travel with your family as there are also various family activities and children will be never bored when holidaying anywhere in Vietnam. And, for singles and young couples, Nha Trang also offers an exciting experience and is reckoned as one of the culinary Vietnam’s centers. If Nha trang does not leave an unforgettable impression on, then I bet that nothing in Vietnam will.

Not slowing my momentum, my head whips around to see John coming at me, screaming, with his hand cocked backward for a punch , long in advance of reaching me, before he throws his readied punch, I swing my right arm, in a roundhouse arc, landing a closed fist , with all of my body weight behind it straight into his throat. A torrent of blood spews from his mouth , covering me, and as he starts to sink down, I toss another blow to the back of his neck, snapping the spine, before bringing my hands up in a defensive position. This is all seeming so natural, more like a dance than a fight, I wouldn’t say instinct is taking over, but I guess along with the ability to talk, and remember stupid minutia, fighting, is something the voice couldn’t take away from me. Mary follows quickly behind her husband, but is thrown to the ground as Walter, uses her as a springboard, to launch an airborne attack on me. There is no skill in what I do, simply a straight strike forward and walter stops in mid air, his chest caved in, as a dry heave wracks my body. I kick the corpse away, not out of any sense of malice, or need to intimidate, but rather, just so I don’t have to see it. I feel arms around me from behind and I am embraced in a tight bear hug, by the size of the arms, I can guess it is Abe. I thrash around, but it seems whatever made him fresh as a daisy after having his jaw shattered, also amped up his strength, now it’s him who has the slight, but noticeable strength advantage. I feel teeth, too large, sharp , dig into my shoulder, I scream in pain, and toss my head backward slamming it , again and again into Abe’s face, I manage to keep him off balance enough that we are moving around the room, keeping the others from being able to get in a clear shot, but with every twist and turn, I can feel a bit more blood pouring down my chest. And then everything seems to go silent, my rage, and fear, and disgust at my own actions goes away for the moment, and I have a sense of peace. Well, peace isn’t really the best word, but calm. I hear a voice, not the voice from the loudspeakers, but a soft male voice, with just a hint of feminine, or maybe fop, would be a better word. It says two words to me, “ Sonny Chiba.”, I don’t know what they mean, my first mental image is some island resort, but it puts another idea into my head at the same time. With a mental snap the calm is gone, but the idea remains. Instead of trying to free my arms, I reach them down low, grabbing ahold of Abe’s oversized, and deformed genitalia, and twisting , squeezing, and tearing with all my might. A finger, can be ignored by these people, having one’s Johnson, stones, and much of the surrounding skin removed, cannot. I file this piece of information away, as I feel the arms leave my body. I spin around as I see Abe screaming and holding the spurting area of his groin, I waste no time leveling a kick at one knee, that brings him to the ground, and stamping with every bit of force I can muster on his face, I do this two more times before the indent is deep enough that I can be assured that he is not getting up. Bruce and Charlie are both upon me now, and a series of blows are exchanged between the three of us. I land a few solid hits, knocking one back, then the other, but my own body suffers, I feel a kick connect with my face, my nose now spewing blood, and a fist, whether left or right, I don’t know, hits my eye, a few moments later I can feel it start to swell. I back off a bit, Bruce and Charlie working much better in tandem than their young counterparts. My heel hits something, heavy , and about the size of a small melon. I look down and see a chunk of cinderblock, on the ground. With one foot I send it into the air, straight upwards. I snatch the rock with my right arm and fire it at Charlie, the throw is true, and half of his head caves in. Grey matter and stuff I can’t even recognize spews forth and he hits the ground. Bruce screams “ Chuck!” as he charges at me, this time I don’t throw a blow, I simply grab the man by the remaining bits of his shirt and spin him around once, lifting him up a bit , I throw him, head first into the solid cement wall feet from the girl. His head evaporates, showering her with gore. It is just me and mary now, she sways from side to side giggling slightly as she starts to wander toward the girl, not even seeming to notice me. She doesn’t react as I walk over, and she doesn’t utter a noise, nor try any kind of defense as I step behind her, extend the middle two fingers of my right hand, and drive a straight punch into her spine hard enough to sever it cleanly, she drops, and anti climactically the fight is ended. The lights click on with a bit of effort on their part, flickering slightly before finally casting a harsh white light on what looks like a slaughterhouse at the end of the workday. I start to breathe a little easier and look around expecting some new surprise , but after a minute or two I hear the background noise of speakers , and seconds after that I hear the voice again. “Well, bravo son, bra-fuckin-vo. I bet that put some hair on your chest, now didn’t it? Boy, that was some killin right there.” He says, his tone is somewhat gleeful, but, moreso relieved for some reason. “ It weren’t that hard now was it , boy?” he says as I start to make my way over to the girl, I start to undo a knot, and he begins to speak again, “ But I got some bad news for ya, something your probably not gonna take a shine to. “ from within the stone walls I hear something, almost like someone tipping over a metal shelf full of cans. “ Ya see, I give you respect for getting this far, I really do. But problem is, it takes a little more killin to put these fellas to rest, I know it’s a crying shame, I havn’t seen a dust up like that in years, but it just weren’t good enough. Weren’t thorough, enough ya could say.” He says thorough in the same way some people drive a car they aren’t used to. Carefully, but despite this, poorly. Another metallic avalanche sound, from within the walls, and it sounds like it is getting closer. “ Ya gotta squash em like bugs boy.” The metallic sound gets closer, and another sound I don’t like creeps into the auditory scene, a familiar meaty rustling and sliding sound, I start to feel panic rise in me, as the voice continues his speech. “But I ain a complete asshole, no not by a long shot, ya see, you showed me you could job the job, so lets see what ya do with the right tool.” He laughs a bit as the speakers cut out again, and in small bursts of stone, doors explode open, and as they do a torrent of weaponry starts to fall like confetti at the worlds strangest parade. The lights flicker a bit, some turning off, casting strange shadows about the room, the girl is screaming now, loud enough that you can hear it clearly through the gag. I look around and see only two weapons took a bounce lucky enough to land within reach. 6 foot length of chain covered in blades, barbs and hooks of all kinds. I tear off the rags of my shirt, covering my left hand, then I bind that with the chain, the weight stirs something inside of me, as I squeeze my hand around the improvised buckler, I feel a rush, something inside me feels giddy. I find myself fighting the urge to smile as I hear the corpses, (or is that even the right term?) of the people I have harmed, then killed, in that order, reassemble into some freakish new arrangement, so that I can kill them for the second time. The other weapon was a two foot length of piping, long spikes coming from one end, and a blade welded to the tip, its heavy, and the handle is wrapped in some kind of tape, I swing with it and I feel a chuckle start to rise, its insane, I am outnumber by things that just won’t die, but something inside me loves it. Something inside me wants them to come back again and again until I fill the room with their blood and drown. The first to rise is John, this time seems to be taking a bit more effort for my temporary roommates, but that is allright with me. Now he barely resembles anything human, his head moves about on wrinkled mass of skin that was his neck, extending and contracting as he walks over to me, not in a berserk rage this time, but with cold calculated movements, snakelike. He is armed with a cleaver which he takes the time to admire once during his advance, and a can of some form in his left. I want this over as quickly as possible and run in , taking a swing with the pipe at the last moment, hoping to stop this all right off the bat with a well placed blow to the head. He doesn’t raise the knife, like I expected, but rather the can and with a hissing noise, and a rush of heat I am driven backward, a gout of flame erupting from the device, and scorching, if not seriously wounding me. But that was only due to getting a momentary burst, I fall backwards, landing heavily on my ass, and do a full somersault to land in a crouch just out of reach of the flames. I skitter behind a pillar, and scan the area. Scan it just slow enough to miss Abe standing there, holding two machetes. The only thing I see is a blur of motion, so I throw myself backwards with it, and manage to get the pipe up just in time to put something between the blades and my flesh. Abe, Abe, was a caricature strong man, all giant bulging muscles, and thick black hair. His clothing had mostly torn away by now, leaving only blood soaked shorts, with some fingered appendage that used to be his Johnson hanging from them. His entire head was one gaping maw, the exact indentation I had put in his face, damn near through the back of his skull had became a tooth filled cavern, with 6 malicious eyes staring from the back. “Fuck!” I scream in shock, both at the strike and the sheer deformity of whatever it is now, that used to be called Abe. Metal on metal grinding, pieces of razor sharp steel fling off of the twin swords, but neither of us care about such small wounds. This is a greater game we are playing. And with that thought something , turns over, inside of me. That giddiness, that battle-lust, I need it, it isn’t just some psychological mechanism to deal with this absurd situation, there is something there, something that I am not going to win this without. It doesn’t feel so much as giving in, that would be entirely misclassifying the process. The closest I can come, is the feeling after you have been cutting your food with a dull knife for years, squashing every tomato, making balls of all your bread, slicing your fingers, and then someone sharpens them for you. Just that, almost eureka moment of “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”. I scream , raising my chain and cloth covered left arm, and managing to wedge it , as well as the pipe between my body and his weapons. And with a scream that could be better called a roar, I shove forward. For a moment it doesn’t feel like he is going to movie, but the swords slip, and I find myself able to spin and face him. My mind feels muddled, like oil and water, one moment I am thinking only of the soft parts of its body I can jam the spikes on the pipe, the next I am thinking of I am trapped, and being forced to kill people. Then I am thinking of how great it is to be trapped here , like the minotaur in a maze, with an endless supply of foes to fight, then I think… As my mind has a break down, Abe, (though now the name I think of is “cunt face” for obvious reasons) roars a phlem choked, warbling scream and kicks out, catching me square in the chest, the slam against the wall brings me back to my senses, I raise to my feet by throwing my body forward, and am standing in an instant, breathing heavily and grinning like a crocodile. “No fair” I say sprinting toward the beast, leaping over a steel box, that once housed weaponry made by an undoubtedly insane son of a bitch. He raises a machete to block my first blow, but the pipe shatters the flimsy blade, and on the backswing I knock the other sailing across the room. I give him no time to react, and throw a mailed left fist into the vaginal orifice that is now his head. I don’t go all the way through, but I do a good job of starting the task, yellow triangular teeth shatter, and I feel a burst of liquid, that was 2 of his six eyes popping like grapes. I bark out a laugh and withdraw my hand as quickly as my body can, wanting to get in another strike, to watch this thing, this mockery splatter. I see something out of the corner of my eye and hit the ground, the room is deafening with the crack of gunfire, I see Abe’s half todger, half arm explode into red mist, and a chunk of cement the size of a basketball explodes a foot to my left. Abe screams in rage as I look to my right to see Bruce and Charlie, holding the massive, custom pistols I have seen before. Charlie’s head now seemed to be two long, thin , smaller heads, both with a complete set of features, but arranged in an odd, seemingly jury rigged fashion. Bruce on the other hand, his body must have decided to do away with the whole head idea all together. His shoulders and arms had became huge, and a large face made its home between the two. I throw the pipe at Abe, the spinning arcing shot wedging it deep within that orifice that nature forgot, and hopefully taking out another eye or two. I dash behind pillars as I see chunks of cement spray, sometimes just inches off of their mark. I don’t have time to scan the ground, and all the weapons seem to be indistinct lumps, taking the time to pick up something that may not help does not seem the best choice in my situation. Instead I grab one of the steel boxes, hits heavy, weighted oddly, and perfect for what this almost reptilian part of my mind has in store for Bruce and Chuck. As I pop out from behind the final pillar, no more than 15 feet from them, I throw the steel box, putting as much spin as I possibly can on it. It flies in an erratic, swirling, looping pattern, making a visual block, and hitting Charlie hard enough to knock the gun from his hand, Bruce is stunned enough, that before he can react to the steel box, I am upon him , I tear the gun from his massive hand with two of mine, grab the grip, and drive it into his eye. Part of me would have pulled the trigger, but that odd part, that part that seemed to be waiting for this, found the fact that he had his own weapon, a blunt weapon, jammed in his eye, terribly amusing, and didn’t want that to stop. A bark of laughter and I shove past Bruce. Unfortunately one head of Chuck’s was smart enough to keep an eye out while he looked on the ground for another weapon. He raises quicker that I could have thought, and is brandishing an axe handle studded with sharp looking blades, about 3 inches long. He takes a swing and I raise my left hand, the blow numbs the arm, and drives me backward, but does no real damage. But the strength he possessed, it seems every time I kill them, they get much stronger, if I let this go on to long, they will win the war of attrition. And this is a thought I scream from the rational part of my mind, the problem with trying out this great new tool, is that it seems the tool doesn’t want to be put away. And instead of just getting this over with , it wants to play, it wants to take the time to plan out a death, when really, speed is what is required. He presses forward and swings again, I aim my blow at the axe handle, snapping cleanly through it with my left hand, the right grabs hold of the left head on Chuck, and with two tugs tears it free. Chuck screams and hysterically flails backward. Bruce on the other hand has gotten over the shock of having a pistol jammed into one of his massive eye, and is coming at me with a large sledgehammer with a dark black handle. No time to react, no time to dodge, I toss his brothers head at him, in a vein attempt to distract him, but I guess that kind of thing only works if the head in question belongs to someone who is dead. As odd as that phrase sounds. I step into the blow, taking a lot of the sting out of it, but it still manages to slam me into a wall, knock the wind out of me, and send me into a coughing fit that leaves me open for the next error in this comedy. Enter the children. I stumble out of the way of the swinging hammer, and just as I begin to be able to get my wind back, I see something out of the corner of my eye. Its Tim, a horrible mass of twisting limbs with a thin blob of formless flesh in the middle holding it all together, if this image conjures up a creature that seems pathetic, that is because it was, but that did nothing to detract from the wicked speed, or razor talons of the thing. A scream, and I lash out with a fist, the child doesn’t dodge, doesn’t duck, doesn’t strike back, but with a movement so fast I can’t say I witnessed it in it’s entirety , it grabs on and begins to climb up my left arm. By the time the swing is finished it has made its way to the shoulder. I thrust myself backward, but in the chaos I only just now realize that there is no wall behind me, for a moment my arms are pinwheeling, trying to keep balance. Then I see long thin spikes start to extrude from the parts of the blob closest to me, thin deadman grips hold onto my shoulder as the creature tries to force the wicked little barbs into my face. Suddenly I feel antsy, and I don’t think, I just do. I slam my right hand into the thing over and over again, heedless of the puncture wounds , I manage to get a weak grip on it with my left, pulling the spikes up and away from my face, what I was staring at was its underbelly, and what was staring back at me was the twisted, yellow eyed, fang mouthed face , that used to be Tim. But I wasn’t thinking of who this used to be, I wasn’t thinking at all. In my rage, my glee, my fun, I thrust my head forward, tearing a bite out of the thing that removed two eyes, part of a lip and left a gaping wound. With a rather pathetic snarl it tries to scurry down my arm, but wounded now, some of its greased eel speed is gone. And my own is more than a match for the insect. My right hand grabs a hold of a mass of the flesh , and takes a few nasty scrapes , from lashing multi jointed limbs for the effort. I hold the creature, maybe 90 pounds, but fighting with the strength of ten men in my right hand, with my left I start to pummel it, I am screaming, all of the frustration, all the horror, I let out into this assault. With every chain wrapped blow the creature starts to thrash a bit less, and by the time the sixth has landed, you can no longer see the sickly white flesh, only blood that seems to have a slight tint of yellow to it. By the 8th my mailed fist hits my hand and I cast the mass, in the general direction of Chuck and Bruce. What happened next cut straight through to that human part of me. They looked at it with sorrow. It was clear even on their alien, distorted faces. That this hurt them, they turned upon me in unison, and I smiled, no use trying to be diplomatic now. I bend down and pick up a piece of stone, about half the size of the fist and I take aim at the last vestage of that middle blob of flesh that remained, a roundish lump in the middle, that I could only assume housed all the really vital bits, as it was still wriggling a bit toward the end. I catch their attention with the rock and point at the creature, three for three throws, as it splatters the roundish lump into pulp and streamers of flesh. What happened next cut straight through to that other part of me, it looked at it with glee, and rejoiced in such a gift. And this was clear even through the alien, distorted thoughts. After a few moments the body began to twitch violently, the limbs and bits of wriggling flesh that remained , that is. And just about as all three of us noticed this, the thing exploded, completely and utterly. Even that is a world class understatement. The explosion wasn’t just everything that was there, it was things that weren’t. From that 90 pounds, the blood , viscera , bone fragments, and organ meat of 3 , maybe as many as 6 men erupted, in a spray of gore and slightly black light. The floor was instantly slick and it doesn’t even need to be mentioned that the girl was covered, and in hysterics that I thought very well may kill her due to this. This caused all of the creatures to scream at once, a shrill terrible song, coming from the mouths of 6 twisted beasts. My heart leapt, I killed one of them. It was obvious, nothing is going to come back from that, there is nothing to come back. The biggest chunk of bone being no more than the size of a fingernail. I screamed again, my body seeming to be rejuvenated, though obviously, as per the bleeding wounds I had covering my arms and chest, this was just a mental state, rather than a physical one. I feel invincible though, I feel powerful, I feel like the king of this concrete jungle, or rather, if I was to put a more accurate spin on events, I could say I feel like the nastiest creature in the zoo. “ Abe!” I roar, twisting my head around wildly, heedless of the other abominations. With a liquid scream he springs from behind a pillar, wielding a wood axe, with what appears to be a mace head on the bottom of the handle. He fixes me with the remaining 4 eyes , gleaming a menacing red light. I grab the axe in both hands, it took all my effort, but I stopped it dead, still a foot from my face, Abe digs in and starts to push toward me, but we have played this game before, and I know that I can win. Instead of pushing back, I fall backward, curling my body in as I grip the axe hard enough to leave shallow indents in the hardwood handle. Overbalanced, he falls directly into the throw, and by the time he realizes his few hundred pounds of bulk are moving, he is on an unstoppable course for the nearest wall. A 10 foot flight sends him into it with enough force to knock the axe spinning across the floor. He seems dazed, and as I walk over I spy a rather nasty looking steel baseball bat, studded with nails as long as fresh pencils. He begins to stand , shaking off the shock, but much too late. The first swing, upward, more like a golf swing than a baseball one, tears a quarter of his grotesque face away, and forces him roughly to his feet. The second, swung in true grand slam fashion blasts a hole halfway through his chest, his massive, tumorous heart, impaled, and still beating on the end of the bat. By this point Abe had mustered enough of a defense to sneak in a wild, two handed swing, that imbeds the bat in his arm, but also snatches it from my grip. He takes a stumbling step forward, and something catches my attention, my head snaps to it out of some deep reflex, I have just enough time to notice it is Walter, much more recognizable than his brother, but with a set of extra arms extending just below his elbows. Before he ends his squeaking, ratlike battlecry , I raise one foot, high, and send it down, he tries to escape, but the power, and the speed get him no farther than only having his head and shoulders turned to pulp. I unfurl the chain sending it into Abe’s face, the snap does no real damage, only knocking out a few teeth, but makes him back off enough , that I can get in a second stomp, to describe the pile of gore that once was Walter would do no good, except to say that at first glance one probably wouldn’t associate it with a body, until they got to the legs. I raise my leg for a third stomp, not wanting to take any chances, and that wondrous explosion, that firework of gore, catches me unaware. I find out that there is not much force behind the gore, a lot of amount, and spray, but the explosion itself had little ‘oomph’ to it. I reset my right foot as I hear the blood and god knows what else drip off of me onto the ground. I shake my head to the right, clearing my vision a bit, as I yank the chain backward, grabbing it in a looser grip, simply wrapping it around one hand, more like brass knuckles than a buckler. The action sends a spray of blood, now almost completely covering all of the floor to some point, across the room in an almost artistic slash pattern. I stalk toward Abe, who seems to be breathing very heavily, the gaping wound in his chest making a sucking noise as he does so, spurting that just off blood colored blood in a regular rhythm. I dash at him, but showing that I am not the only one with speed and strength, he strikes out, grabbing me by the back of the head, and trying to pull me toward that damaged, but still quite dangerous looking maw of his. I wedge my right arm on his chest, my forearm keeping distance between us, but almost immediately I can feel the pressure, and the pain this is causing. My wrist is screaming and there is a dull, almost numb pain in the middle of my forearm, which I can assume means nothing good. But this is only a slight variation on my original plan, and I go with it. I smash the wound again and again with my left hand, the chain tearing it wider and wider with each shot. When I can get my entire hand, chain and all into it, I push it downwards. A torrent of blood and vomit comes from the clicking, foul maw, blinding me. I hear Abe laughing as I twist and turn my hand, entangling the chain in entrails that actually feel like they are fighting back, trying to choke and jab my hand. I try and force my eyes open, but it is no use, this shit is thick, and stinging, not acidic enough to eat through skin, but my eyes scream at the hint of it. The smell sends a dry heave through me that almost costs me this grapple, but it passes, and it still seems to Abe as if we have a Mexican standoff. When I can feel the chain hooked to the point where it doesn’t want to move, I throw up my right foot, bracing against Abe’s chest, I push backward, and turn my body. For a moment he thinks he has won, as there is no more resistance , but the chain pulls tight against my shoulder, digging a few hooks and barbs into it, and as I spin, the chain inside the beast, hooked onto so many important things, in so many strange loops and knots, comes tearing out. The movement is quick, and has almost every muscle in my body working for it, in an instant the creature is empty, and even this thing, drops to its knees, quite literally. I throw a kick, it isn’t a hard target, and the generic black boot I am wearing (I notice that it seems just slightly too small for some reason.) sends his grey matter ( though the matter in question was actually a dark purple.) spraying in two thick streams. . In contrast to the previous two creatures , Abe’s last hurrah, is almost instant, almost the second brain turns to liquid, his body turns to enough flesh to fill a van, spraying in every direction. The floor is now wet and uneven with gore, like winter in hell. With wet noises one would associate with mud if they have not just been made to become a human blender, I walk toward the group. John, Mary, Bruce and Chuck. Seeing Mary for the first time, she looks rather, normal compared to her counterparts, a little crazier than before, a little paler, more leathery, but pretty much human. Her red stained wedding dress hanging in tears and tatters around her. They seem tentative now, like a group of bullies that just realized their intended victim has pulled a knife. That combination of indignation , fear and rage, that could end the fight, or lead to it getting much, much worse. I am starting to flag at this point, my mind, feels invincible, I feel like throwing myself heedless info the fray, lashing out at any bit of flesh and bone I can, but as I realize that I am taking my breath in, in large gasps that seem to do little to satisfy my aching lungs, I can reason that this isn’t a good idea. I need to find a way to draw them one by one, but with the limited space in the room, I can’t see how. And as they start to slowly, very slowly close the distance between me and themselves, the issue doesn’t become any more clear. Then another one of those moments, like the world stops, that eerie mental calm, like suddenly floating in a warm bath after being tossed around in a tsunami, hits me. I hear another voice this time, and as I take the time to listen a bit more to the nuances, I realize it doesn’t sound as if the voice is talking to me, but rather like it is pre recorded. Like I am picking up on a bit of a recorded conversation, or reading a passage in a book, if that makes sense. This time though, the phrase is one that I can recognize, the voice is jovial, almost manic , “ Piss them off, the make a mistake, they make a mistake, they die”. And I take the advice to heart.
I am about to post the 3000 most common words in the English lexicon. Wish me luck...
