☆TRACK V: I WILL TWIST THE KNIFE PT. 2

Who: Everyone in the last part of the log.
What: Everyone has a terrible night.
When: December 7th, 2054
Where: Naomi's ocean side mansion, followed by a secret Pride laboratory.
Warnings: Violence, blood, and at least one murder. Vague gore. NPCs being unhinged in a threatening way, though it's possible to have your character avoid ended up in the ballroom if you don't want to see this mess.

☆I WILL TWIST THE KNIFE



The bubble has burst. The chaos of the night’s violence has finally boiled over into something uncontrollable – blood has been spilt, screams have been heard. No matter where you are in the mansion, you know by now that something is acutely wrong. Multiple members of Pride have been hurt – possibly killed – and you may still have no idea why.

Some will try to escape. Some will try to fight back. Yet, as any rebellion starts to descend, a piercing note - a melodic cry - will summon you towards the ballroom. It can be resisted, in part - but only as far as you find yourself frozen in place instead of moving forward, at least while this spell holds. It's drawing you to the source...if you follow it, maybe you can stop it. The compulsion is strong for members of both labels.

The cry seems to echo long past its termination point, to be heard wherever you are. If followed, it will bring you to Naomi Rivers in the center of the ballroom, her expression creased with strain. Though you may desperately want to strike her, something intangible is holding you back.

"No!" she shouts at any Virgo nearby. "It isn't done! You need to...you need to finish this!" She'll point desperately at the nearby Pride, rendered unable to flee. "Get them now!"

You don't want to.

"Do it!"

The compulsion weighs heavily on you - for Virgo, to act, and for Pride to surrender themselves. All subtly has disappeared. This last effort is unconcealed and nearly hysterical. You feel yourself slipping beneath the soundwaves. Power rolls off of her, the energy thick in the air, like something you can taste and smell.

You can't do this.

"I command-"

The fabric of space-time cracks like a peal of thunder. All at once, the spell shatters.

Because she didn't get what she wants.

[The words are crisp and cool - completely empty of compassion.]

[Logically, Rei understood that. That was why anyone acted out. They didn't get what they wanted and tantrums happened. But still...that was...shocking.

Numbly, Rei pushed herself up and looked her CEO in the face.]


I...understand that. But what she did. What kind of...person just kills someone like that?

[It's probably shock.]

One that has done so before. And will do so again.

[He doesn't look back at her.]

You stopped her though. Is...are you guys...

[She's going to say something else, but bites back the question.]

No. I don't...need to ask that. But the police...?

The police are not a concern.

[It's said as something nothing short of fact.]

Nobody...is going to miss her?

[That's what she's stuck on.]

[personal profile] interstellarnpcs 2015-12-13 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Her fans will, I'm sure. She was...always such a remarkable talent. But the talented so often die young, don't they?

[He sounds somehow genuinely fond as he says that. It's kind of sick.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Say What?)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-12-13 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
I...yes. I guess they do.

[It's really disturbing, honestly, and makes her take a step back.]

I guess I should...go check on mother.
