[Public; Phone]

What a shock, with all of the other pointless bullshit happening around here, everyone is ignoring the musclebeast in the block, leaving me to deal with our impending suffocation via bulbous lactating meatsac.

So, the "census." I know others of you received it too, and mysteriously provided your weaknesses and ammunition against you before it mysteriously disappeared. That thing we involuntarily filled out with our deepest secrets, just like we did last year before they had us fucking hunt each other? Yeah, are we planning on doing anything about that?

For those who have joined us more recently and haven't been paying attention to the audio hook flip outs, I'll graciously explain. Last time they did this, a week later we were given targets among us to kill. We were promised prizes if we succeeded and punishment if we failed. Incidentally, the only punishment that manifested was weak like off brand grubsauce and the prizes also deeply sucked, but I'm sure yet again some of you psychopath morons will do what Mayfield tells you to as though it hasn't been proven time and time again that nothing Mayfield promises ever comes true.

So I think it's about time those of us who aren't interested in participating in wiggler relay races for the dubious privilege of going to the beach with Doc Scratch tried to actually work out a plan. Isn't there some kind of useless ass defense force around, or am I proposing everything?

Anyway, I'm thinking some kind of general pact to hunt down as a group anyone who so much as passes gas murderously once they give us our targets, but I'm open to other suggestions provided they aren't retarded.

And since I'm proposing the murder posse, it goes without saying that none of you are participating, no matter what happens or who your target is or what they promise you. You embarrassments are enough of a problem for me without forcing me to organize mobs to kill you.

Kar, what if they're succeedin' in takin' our friends out? Can we go shithive nuts on them?

[crusthatecean]

That won't happen.

And if it does, we'll deal with it. I never said we couldn't murder anyone who is actively trying to kill us, but let's not be stupid about it! No one is going to go pointlessly die on a vengeance trip!!

[ceasetoexist]

Trying the posse wouldn't be a bad idea, at least in the beginning of the event. After that it becomes a crapshoot of if we can take them if some of them get through, kill their targets, and get powers back. Otherwise if worst comes to worst the safe house list you made up could work out.

I think it may not be the same thing this year. They pulled this later in the year last year and right now there are two holidays coming up, one after another.

[crusthatecean]

I'm concerned about that. If you're trying to get close to someone you plan to kill, the safe house list seems like the perfect tool to get strangers to let you in their hive.

You're right that it could be something else, though.

Look who's on the phone again...

[originalnumber]

[[As a side note, I might have Nepeta in after next week's app run; figured I should let you know while I tagged. ^_^' ]]

...

Define 'hunt down'- I would think that simply locking the guilty party in a single and well guarded location until the 'event' passes would do well enough, but I am interested to hear what you propose for the specifics. I would certainly not wish to see the friends I have made here attack each other for such insignificant reasons as 'prize or punishment' after all.

[...Astral. You could be a target too.]

[crusthatecean]

Okay, but that's fucking complicated! We don't have a holding cell for all of them, and if they kill each other, some of them might get powers back. I know this isn't popular with humans, but if they plan to murder us for their own gain, we should be prepared to kill them first.

[Ohhhh cool!]

[polariity]

Thoundth good to me. I wath already planning on keeping Thol and Eth and anyone elthe thtuck in my hive jutht in cathe.

Oh, by the way, conthider yourthelf falling into that category too.

[crusthatecean]

I have my own shit I have to worry about, shithead. I don't have time to humor you while you pretend to be a badass.

[sheneighnigans]

If I am attacked I am going to defend myself. But I will not actively seek out targets to kill.

[crusthatecean]

Yeah, telling anyone not to defend themselves is definitely not a thing I am doing. It could be said to be the opposite of what I'm doing.

[walking_nuke]

Man, I've been tryin'a gear up for shit like'is since I got here. Not gonna lie, hasn't gone too well.

[crusthatecean]

If you yell often enough, some shit gets accomplished, but for the most part everyone constantly has their heads too far up their nooks to notice anything else happening.

[a_gentle_boy]

...Do we really have to hurt people who're trying to hurt other people? It ends up being almost the same thing, doesn't it? Just... hurting different people than the ones who would have been hurt.

The trouble is, too, that the people who want to hurt other people are usually... pretty well-practiced.

[crusthatecean]

No, it's not the same thing. How is that even a question? Killing someone who represents a threat to yourself or your friends or others is a completely different thing than killing a random target just to win prizes.

Seriously, I know humans have a different perspective on this, but would you really not kill someone who was trying to kill you?

[cueball]

You would be that one ornery individual on the beach under the large parasol, complaining about every little thing having to do with the environment you are in. No one wants to go to the beach with someone like that. The lounge was nice last year, regardless.

[Despite his jab, his tone is flat and overall uncaring.]

[crusthatecean]

That's probably true, and completely my point. I don't want to win a fun day long island getaway. Maybe that's worth it to you, but I would rather everyone not die for something so stupid.

[commentboxtroll]

There is a useless ass defense force around, but it's yet to be seen if they're anything besides useless yet. So a back-up posse would be a good idea if they don't show up guns a-blazing. Up until Mayfield drives them crazy again and they start shooting one another, anyway...

If this even is a rerun and not just the town messing with us so close to April Fools.

[crusthatecean]

Let's assume the worst, it's usually a safe bet.

Everyone so far seems to have qualms about non-permanently killing killers, so I hope we'll have enough to make this worthwhile. No offense, but if no one else is in then I'm done. I'm not going to waste time worrying about the town when I have my own to deal with.

[miraculls]

[too long didn't listen]

There's a beach here? Hey, maybe that's where my old goat's been hiding his bad self at!

[crusthatecean]

There's not a beach, and if there was, it's not one you'd want to go to.

Did you even listen to that? Something bad is about to happen.

[foretaste]

You cannot tell me who to murder!

[crusthatecean]

Thanks, it isn't like I'm being serious about this horrible impending catastrophe.

[gezellig]

We could at least gather somewhere to defend ourselves.

[Neutrality never worked out well for him, but he still tries.]

[crusthatecean]

We could, but then some of the assholes who are participating might join us and use the crowd to kill their targets.

[achromous]

Do you think they'll do it exactly the same way again? We should probably try to prepare for a twist, at least.

[crusthatecean]

Probably, but I don't know how it's possible to prepare for a twist. All we can do is prepare on what we know.

I've figured out the gist of what happened last year. One question: you remember the thing that happened when the glubbing idiots broke the revival mechanism, where old injuries and illnesses all came back full-force. Did they do anything like that last year?

If so? I'm locking myself in a basement and not coming out till the chaos ends. I'm not going to run the risk of being a sitting quackbeast again because I'm too sick to defend myself against someone trying to kill me.

Re: filtered;

[crusthatecean]

You stayed dead until it was over, I think. And they took away regains. But otherwise, nothing.

Locking yourself in a basement isn't a bad idea, but make it the right one. Mine is free. My lusus lives there, but he isn't so bad.

[thelonewanderer]

I'll join the hunt the murderer's group if it happens again this year.

[crusthatecean]

Good. The more we have willing to give a shit about this, the better.
