Blood Revenge Pre-Game

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

"I do believe I have a few spare back at my house. Perhaps a visit is in order once the game has been completed."

-Finire leans up against one of the stands and pulls a piece of paper out of his jacket. He seems to be reviewing it-

"Was this...No no...maybe like th...should I have included....Already printed a bunch....maybe if I tweaked this...."

[Exusiai]

*Hiro snatches at the pills as they hurl through the air. Without a pause, he lobs each of the blue capsules upwards, and the pills make an arc into his mouth*

"Painkillers, scarves, papers... are you Doraemon?!"

*Almost appearing to grow a centimeter as he inahles, Hiro cups both of his hands to his face as he begins in a higher pitch than usual*

"This sort of thing is good. I wish I could do it.
That sort of dream, this sort of dream, I have many of them, but all of them, all of them, all of them.
He grants my dreams.
He grants my dreams with a mysterious pocket.
I want to fly freely in the sky.
Ah, ah, ah, I love you very much, Doraemon! -☆"

[Indrid Cold]

*Indrid looks at the girl for a moment before bringing his hands back into view. Indrid looks visibly saddened by the girl's request.*

"I am sorry. Illusionists are great, but you need truly great magic to bring about what has been lost or taken. I don't possess any such magic."

[Daiwa Scarlet]

"Alright, sorry for bringing up such unpleasant thoughts."

*Fae sighs and closes her eyes for a while before turning to Finire with some semblance of her earlier cheer*

"I would very much like to have one of them, although I shouldn't leave my companions for too long..~ Is your home far away?"

[Funny Valentine [Silentgod]]

"Yare yare. What in the world is going on here?" Jotaro asked as he gets up and begins to examine his surroundings.

[Indrid Cold]

*Indrid looks at the young man looking around thoughtfully before deciding to approach*

"You look young enough to hold some penchant for illusion. Tell me, young man, would you like to see any tricks? I do know a few and I don't mind learning a new one while we are here."

[Funny Valentine [Silentgod]]

"Not interested." Jotaro said while keeping his stoic position as he turns to the man in charge. "Any further details you can give on this game of yours?"

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

-Finire scratches his head-

"Alright, since preparations are taking longer than expected I guess I will give you all a bit more information."

"Open your ears and listen! This will be the basics of our game."

"You all will be competing in a contest of wits, strength, imagination, and skill! Our game will have several end goals, of which you may choose any to pursue. One will require a devilish wit and some wicked schemes. Another will require an eye for the truth and a nose to sniff out lies. The last will require an exhaustive search and inspired imagination."

"Now this is a competition amongst you nine! The first to complete their objective of choice wins! and I will shower upon them glorious rewards. However, be forewarned, I took some steps to push forth my own victory."

"I have...hired... two of your nine to work for me. These two have a different goal, which I will explain just before we begin! Beware, these two will do anything to remain unknown as failure to do so will have harsh punishment!"

[Daiwa Scarlet]

"What might these glorious rewards be? Simple wealth has become considerably less appealing with these last few years."

[John Dark Souls]

*finally wakes up and stares around blankly for few seconds before landing her eyes on Finire and suddenly gaining focus, jumping up to her feet and shouting*

"KIIIIISAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

*proceeds to run at Finire while making extreeeeeeeeeeeemely loud clanking sounds with clear killing intent in the eyes*

[Naru]

Marrion just stares at what is happening around here and not sure how to speak or act in front of this crowd.

[The City [EclipseZwolf]]

"Oh no! The response I expected from everyone that I am totally unprepared for!"

-Finire throws up his arms in mock terror-


"Alas! Whatever will I do to stop this small child from smashing my beautiful face! Oh yeah, this!"

-Finire leans forwards off the stand he had been relaxing against and meets Makioka's charge. With one hand, the other still holding his paper, he reaches out and plants it firmly on Makioka's face.-

"Is this what they call situational irony?"

-He quickly comments before putting weight behind his hand, effectively stiff arming Makioka mid charge, their legs continuing forward as her head stops, resulting in a quick flip before she crashes to the ground-

"I still have some painkillers if that hurt a bit Makioka. Need some?"

[Daiwa Scarlet]

*Fae watches the rowdy bunch from across the room*

"Oh, that is quite beautiful.

...

The dust cloud I mean."

[Exusiai]

*Hiro positions a hand above his eyes like a visor. After turning to his left and right a few times, glazing over the scene of Finire giving an attacker a face plant, he raises an eyebrow to the mostly silent girl Fae*

"What dust cloud?
Maybe the 'force' used against us messed with my sight. That's probably why I can't see any dust clouds.
In that case, may I have additional painkillers?
It wouldn't be good to start off this game with impaired vision, right?"

[Daiwa Scarlet]

"It was quite small. Just a little cloud spreading from the impact."
