( HUNTERS - WEEK 2 )
 For this week, there will be no sudden loss of control for those who have signed their souls away for the greater good. As long as they're in the Curio Shop by 6:05 PM on Monday, nothing out of the ordinary will happen. All they must do is knock on the shop's door, carefully as if to not draw attention towards themselves, and the door will creak open by itself much like the previous week. As per usual, inside this strange room they'll find Craftly seated at a round table. Shelves of antiques line the walls and the smell of peppermint tea wafts through the air. A thin tendril slips across the table from Craftly's sleeve, hooking around his cup of tea. As smug as ever, he smiles to the group. "Come in, Hunters. It's time for us to begin". Welcome, Hunters! As of this week, you'll get the chance to either investigate one other character or arm them with a randomized weapon. If you have any questions, you can shoot us a quick PP or PM as always! ic rulebook | locations | statuses | room assignments private conversations | ic profiles | graveyard | full navigation hunter's handbook |
CHOICE

CHECK: LIGHT YAGAMI
She reaches out for one of the pliers, glances at the illustration to try and figure out how she's supposed to place it against her incisor, clenches her eyes shut, and... gets to work. She's never done this before, and it's painful, but it's possible. She succeeds after some effort and a lot of pain, and drops the tooth into the basin.
She can taste her own blood in her mouth, and it makes her gag, so the blood comes down after.
But she doesn't shed a tear.]
CHECK: LIGHT YAGAMI
[. . . doing this with a left-brain migraine is really going to suck, but Kaito pushes through with only the smallest of flinches. he reaches out to pick up a pair of pliers, fingers brushing against the metal. he toys with them briefly, uncertainty bubbling up into his throat. then, he turns away from the others, sucks in a deep breath, lifts the tool up, and--]
[-- he tastes blood, and its gross and coppery, but also not the first time this has happened. he presses an arm against his mouth (sleeve rolled up, so he doesn't get blood on his clothing), and reaches out a shaky hand to deposit his own sacrifice into the bin]
[he needs a fuckin' nap]
CHECK: LIGHT YAGAMI
jay doesn't use the illustration as a guide. he's pretty mechanical about it, really, as he uses the pliers to grab the chosen tooth and just yanks it out. he had been ready for the pain, but when it actually hits, his hand that isn't holding onto the pliers immediately fly to cover his mouth to make sure he doesn't spit out blood.
it takes him a few seconds to remember to deposit the now freed tooth into the basin after. ]
RESULTS
Blood and teeth lay on the bottom of the basin, the stench of blood slowly creeping into the air — but it must be nothing compared to the pain they must be feeling. Craftly watches on unaffected, refilling his cup of tea as the Hunters bear it.
And then something happens.
The blood that has been spilled moves on its own, gaining a golden glow as slowly but surely begins to spell out a message. On the edge of the basin, the following three lines will be readable to all three:]
