Week 5, Friday

[foundationmods]

As evening falls, everyone settles in to relax and sleep. Many people are in the Blue room, including Saki. Interestingly enough, there is another guest as well in the form of Giriko who has been recently-Pooka-fied. All seems well in the sleepover, and nobody outside of a certain chainsaw even suspects that anything is about to happen.

Outside, near the garage, Giriko's former body suddenly gets up. It walks into the garage, looking for the chainsaw, only to find that it has gone missing. The body pauses, and is clearly trying to figure out what to do next. Then it leaves the garage, and it looks towards the house, but apparently decides against going there and heads towards the studio instead. Right by the door there is a large sledgehammer, which Giriko's former body picks up and hefts onto its shoulder. Then it heads into the studio itself.

About three minutes pass with nothing really happening outside. The cameras inside the studio are still busted, so nothing can be seen of the interior. But after approximately three minutes the door the the studio is flung open but Giriko's former body, which has apparently been yeeted out of it. The body goes skidding across the parking lot, coming to a stop laying on its back about thirty feet away from the door. There is also a keyblade embedded in its chest.

A few moments later, Vanitas steps out, followed shortly by Dazai. The pair walk over to the body and peer down at it as it lays there motionless. Since only distant cameras are recording this, what they say cannot be heard. But based on their expressions and random gestures towards the body, it's probably an argument of some sort.

Then Giriko's former body suddenly grabs Dazai's leg, and Dazai lets out a shriek that can be heard on the distant cameras, albeit faintly.

In the house, Saki looks to the window at the same time Dazai screams. She says, "What was that?"

Karen who looks to the window as well says "Maybe an owl?" All people at the party discuss the possibility of it being some kind of owl, and they end up using a stored reference database on someone's phone to look up the sounds a screech owl makes. By the time they find a sufficient answer, the following fight is long over and there are no more noises to be heard, so they collectively write it off as 'just an owl'.

Giriko is holding onto Dazai, picking him up and holding him upside-down as he stands up. Dazai flails uselessly like the loser he is, trying to kick his way out of the grasp but failing to make progress. Vanitas, meanwhile, holds a hand out towards Giriko's former body. The keyblade embedded in it suddenly de-materializes and reappears in Vanitas' outstretched hand, and a moment later he's rushing at Giriko's former body to attack it. A clean cut slices off the arm, and Dazai falls to the ground. And while he is down, he's not going to be out of the fight, as he's scrambling to turn around and grab Giriko's former body's bare leg, thereby nullifying any power within it. Abruptly the body falls back down, turning to a lifeless corpse once more.

Vanitas still stabs it a few times to make sure it's good and dead. Then the pair tie the body to a tree with some rope before heading back inside for the night. Everyone inside the house is left unaware of what just happened outside.

The night passes with no new deaths.

.... shit.

[darkremnants]

[ Shit is right. ]

[guileturncoat]

[There's the target of the hour!]

So, Giriko.

Want to explain why your corpse interrupted my movie night by trying to smash my head in with a sledgehammer?

[failsaw]

.... why the fuck did it have a sledgehammer? [How did this plan fail????]

[guileturncoat]

No clue! I was hoping you might have an answer for that.

[failsaw]

[Shit. Shit. Shit.]

Fuck if I know. [She says, and doesn't sound apologetic. She doesn't sound casual either, it's like she's carefully choosing her words now.]

This kinda necromancy's a fuckin' science, yeah? I lost contact with the golem when some idiot turned me into a rabbit and fucked the enchantment. If the thing'd had a soul sealed in it it probably wouldn't've gone rogue, yeah? It would just be that person, you know?

But since it didn't have a soul it was just a golem, yeah? I just told it to fuck up anybody it found alone in the house, guess it found you and tried to follow its programming.

[darkova]

... it was a set up.

YOU BITCH I STRESSED OVER USING THAT SPELL FOR TWO DAYS AND IT WAS A SET UP???

[someone pick up tired frog man before he curses her again and ends up in a coma]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[TIME TO PLACE A HAND ON INGWAY, IT SEEMS.]

These things happen, do they not? Relax! In the end, nothing came of it.

[darkremnants]

We did wonder why she had the biggest sign over her head.

[prayerwheel]

[ puts her hands on his shoulders. ]

Ingway.

[ shhhhhhhh let's see how this plays out ]

[failsaw]

No fuckin' shit it was a setup! I've spent all fuckin' week trying to be as fucking suspicious as possible to get a solid fuckin' alibi but you morons don't fuckin' have the first clue how to try and prevent a murder!

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[OKAY, HE'S JUST WAHAHAING AND CLAPPING OVER HERE.]

A fine effort, but it seems you were caught in the end!

[failsaw]

You know, coming from you, that's a hell of a fuckin' compliment.

[dereban]

[ SSSSSSSIPS DRINK out of amusement ]

[odasaku]

[ oda's looking between the corpse and her and ?????????? ]

That thing moves?

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[Just gonna

Take a step slightly behind him wHAT IS THIS.]

[failsaw]

Not anymore, somebody erased the programming, and with a corpse golem I can't just reboot it.

[resortghosts]

[A vividly red prinny wanders into the room fifteen minutes late with a coffee cup in its flippers just in time to hear this.]

Dood. It was hammer time, dood.

[darkremnants]

[ Takes the coffee cup. He needs that ]

[dereban]

Did someone say stop-

[ takes out her phone

[guileturncoat]

I can't touch you without you going poof, so rubber band your mouth shut for that terrible pun.

[prayerwheel]
