Week 4

[foundationmods]

It finally happened. Someone murdered, and was punished for it. After a particularly grueling trial, one much worse than the games ever were, everyone definitely needed the rest of the weekend to rest up. But now it is Monday once more, and that means it is time to get back to 'work'.

The cameras have moved again, and the contestants will need to be careful where they say what until their new locations have been revealed. In addition to that, the house itself seems to have changed, with its usual colorful appearance suddenly a bit more grey. Even the weather seems to be gloomy, with those storm clouds from last week starting to overcast the area, threatening to drop rain.

Seventeen contestants remain in this game of death. How many more will fall before the game is over? And how many more will be driven to murder?

POWERS AND ABILITIES SHARE

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[After the motive, Saki will get to work making lunch. In practice, this mostly means sandwiches, but hey, free food, right?

She'll also be going around gathering people once lunch has been prepared, because she has a request!]

We talked about it during the trial, but I'd like to make it official. I'd like for everyone to share what powers and skills they have. I know it's possible for people to hide their powers if they don't want to talk about it - but I think it's more important for us to get as much information as we can in case we need it in the future.

Things are just going to get harder with each week, and if people have powers or talents that they can use to help out during games or... other incidents, I think it's better if we share them now.

[So, she places a hand on her chest.]

My main power is cantus. Most people in this time know of it as psychokinesis. It lets me affect reality through mental images. One example is by imagining a hand carrying items for me, but there are more complicated images that can have more complicated results. Other than that, my physical abilities are pretty much average.

[darkova]

Hmm. Well, you all know about my abilities as an alchemist by now. I also can heal others with my own magic.

Besides that I can do some shapeshifting- a frog is my most common form. My chain has it's own abilities that are not connected to me specifically.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

What abilities does your chain have?

[darkova]

It can extend and cast fire magic, mostly.

[scarsnstripes]

Well, you already know about my ability. It's called 'Beast Beneath the Moonlight' and... essentially, I can transform into a tiger. I prefer not transforming fully, but I can transform any part of my body I wish for strength, durability or speed. I can also use the tiger's senses. Sight, smell... hearing.

[Bottom line: he's a furry, your honor.]

...I can also recover from injuries very quickly.

[That's an understatement.]

[failsaw]

[Giriko's being... cooperative?]

My weapon form's a chainsaw. [In case. Anyone missed that.]

I got a full transformation, and I can turn any part of my body into chainsaw parts, or make chains if I want.

I also have soul perception, which is pretty fuckin' common in my world, yeah? It's just a sixth sense, but I can track people if I need to.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Saki will be cordial in return for Giriko's cooperation. Amazing.]

What does soul perception include? Is it just seeing the soul...?

[How do non-cantus powers work.]

[failsaw]

Yeah, kinda. [Giriko shrugs.]

I don't use it much, never had a reason to. It's good for like, tracking one person or findin' people trying to ambush you, yeah?

[iblistriggered]

[Silver picks at a sandwich. He actually hasn't been eating much the past week or so, and it's kind of showing]

I'm a psychokinetic, too. I can move things with my mind, manipulate objects... Even really heavy stuff. I can also bend things and crush things. I can make shields and catch projectiles. I can make psychic shockwaves and blades... Uhh... what else.... I can fly with my powers, fast enough to keep up with Sonic... I can also make people feel dizzy, nauseous, and confused.

... Physically, I can't do much. I can jump pretty high? And I have sharp quills... but they're not as sharp and strong as Sonic and Shadow's.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She'll move over to him, patting him - while avoiding the spines, as usual.]

Silver, please try to eat a little.

[iblistriggered]

I'm not really hungry.

[visionem]

[ Alcor has descended from the roof for this, so progress? He's not eating any sandwiches though and just has a mug of coffee. ]

You have all seen what I can do.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Are we worthy of his grace.]

Ice magic and shape shifting...?

[visionem]

Yes. [ hmm. ]

Shapeshifting is not accurate, rather I can change between my forms. I cannot become something like a vehicle, or anything like that.

[houndumb]

Cerberus, the most powerful demon you'll ever meet!! This thing. [he gives his spear a perfunctory spin] An' I can use magic of all five elements!

[Yes, that's the whole description. He's helpful doge. I forgot to say that he immediately snagged three sandwiches.]

Oh, yeah, and I punch real fucking hard if you want a demonstration.

[Does anyone want that.]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

All five elements being... Water, wood, fire, earth, and metal?

[eldritcheyes]

[Leo's eating, though not with his usual gusto. He actually swallows before talking.]

My eyes were replaced with alterworld artifacts called the All-Seeing Eyes of the Gods. They have a bunch of different powers, like letting me see really tiny or even microscopic details, or things that are too fast for human eyes to track. I can link my sight to other people's so they see what I see, scramble the fields of vision of multiple targets, see auras and read true names from them. Um... I can't do it as far as I know, but previous holders of the Eyes can supposedly see the past or future.

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Yeah, okay, that gets his attention, and he looks interested.]

That sounds quite similar to something in my world - They are normally called 'Mystic Eyes', and can naturally arise in those with magic circuits. Apparently they can be artificially made as well, though eyes like those would undoubtedly get the Magus Association on you.

[dereban]

[ SORRY SAKI

she's.

pointedly............. not saying anything but she is listening to everyone else ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Saki doesn't miss that, locking eyes with Inaba for a moment before turning her attention back to the others.

Well, it's not like people hiding their powers even now is a surprise.]

[prayerwheel]

[ munching on a sandwich ]

I've demonstrated most of my abilities already. Through my pendant, I can use a form of water magic that has a variety of applications--minor healing, soothing people to sleep, et cetera. It takes much more out of me, but I'm also able to dispel curses and perform exorcisms, provided the target is demonic or unearthly in nature.

I can use water magic in combat as well, but I'll be terribly honest, I'm not very good at it. The most I've done is make waves to knock people over.

[ a pause ]

Ah, that's right. I'd almost forgotten. The members of my family are also able to use Dragon Veins. They're sort of...ley-lines that exist within the ground at random places where spiritual energy is higher. I can call them forth wherever I find them. They're usually of the elemental variety.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

Elemental variety? In what way?

[She doesn't even know what a ley-line is either so RIP.]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[Moriarty nods, instantly summoning the chained white coffin to his side again, throwing it on his shoulder and letting her get a good look at the gunbarrel coming from the bottom of it.]

As I said before, my weapon is this coffin - Reichenbach. I am a heroic spirit, meaning my strength and speed far exceeds human limits. In addition, my coffin is not only a sub-machine gun, but also contains missiles and lasers - all magic-based, of course, but still just as lethal.

As well as that, I am able to make my bullets hit 'without fail' - a side effect of being fused with the phantom of The Freeshooter.

[duskhound]

Well, where to start... Most of my powers involve Star Energy manipulation. The star brand on my hand gives my star energy purification properties, allowing me to harm things without physical forms, and tints all of my star energy with a bit of fire element. I've been experimenting with that lately to try and duplicate Star Energy therapy from my world, but that's still a work in progress.

I can manipulate fire to some extent by inserting star energy into it, but not exactly at the level others seem to be capable of, and I learned a bit of Dusk Magic from the church back home, but that's been sealed off by the house, and most of my teaching on Dusk Magic was more focused on how to detect it than anything else. I believe dusk magic has some healing techniques as well, but they... weren't part of what I was taught. I would need to experiment a lot more to find them, and experimenting with dusk magic is kind of dangerous, so I'd rather not.

Aside from that, I can smell magic, and if I had my Dusk Breaker and Reflector they could resonate with me to enhance my fighting potential, though I didn't exactly bring them with me here since this wasn't supposed to be a violent mission.

As for mundane abilities... I can speak basically every normal language on this planet, barring some of the minor ones that are only spoken in an isolated region, and I'm pretty good when it comes to Marksmanship, if I say so myself.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Strictly speaking, I don't have any powers, but this responds to me and lets me transform into Cure Aqua.

[Karen holds up her CureMo.]

When I'm transformed, I'm much stronger, faster, and more difficult to hurt than a normal human. I can't really explain the extent, and it seems to vary anyway. I also have some limited water magic--I can't just manipulate it freely or anything, but I can shoot it as an attack, or form a bow and use it to fire arrows. And I can summon the Aqua Ribbon, which makes one of my water attacks stronger and can be formed into a sword.

[Wow that's... kind of a nonsense grab bag of specific abilities when she lists them all out like this.]
