week 1 || act: investigate

[foundationmods]

[Everything is still, silent, and dark - just like it should be.

There's been no indication of trouble, nothing like the last times, when all of you were trapped in games.

If anything, the town is gentle, the people kind....and nothing seems wrong. There's no danger.

Then, why...

Is there a feeling of foreboding?]

Heeeeeeey, it's the Oxygen Thief!

[soupervillain]

Con-ver-ter. Oxygen Converter. It's one of my many talents!

[ugly_split_ends]

You wanna keep doing it? Like, for a long time?

[She'll just hop out of Solomon's arms if he didn't drop her already in disgust.]

[soupervillain]

That's the plan! You got something to say about it, Jerk the Ripper?

[ugly_split_ends]

Just checking! It seems to me that taunting a serial killer might cut your life expectancy a little short! If-you-know-what-I-mean!

[soupervillain]

Hah! We've already established that I have immunity!

[ Is he expecting her to keep her word on that? Yes. Absolutely. ]

[ugly_split_ends]

Ahahahaahaha! True, true! I've only ever killed boys who get me off.

...Killing boys who irritate the hell out of me? Hm, that'd be a new thing!

[soupervillain]

Just remember, that'd be you admitting that I'm hot! And once you kill me, you can't un-kill me!

[ugly_split_ends]

Wow, you sure know how to turn a girl off! Is that a skill you were born with or did you have to work at it?!

[soupervillain]

If the girl in question is you, I've been working on it every single day!!

[ guys... someone died....... ]

[ugly_split_ends]

Ahahahaha! Maybe you should work on your skills a little more! Or did you pull off some big heist and I just didn't notice?!

[soupervillain]

Wait, are you saying that's something that would turn you off, or on?

[ugly_split_ends]

Hm... Neither. Guess I don't care.

Honestly, I don't think there's a single thing you could do that would turn me on.

[soupervillain]

GOOD!!

[ Once again, his evil plan succeeds flawlessly...? ]

[ugly_split_ends]

Haaaah?! Is this some sort of reverse opposite reverse psychology?!

Oh, I got it! If I say you becoming a master thief would turn me on, you'll have no choice but to stop, forever!

[soupervillain]

Ngh - that's not - I - that doesn't count! You'd only be saying it to mess with me, so you wouldn't mean it! See? I'm wise to your tricks!

[ But he sounds maybe just a little unsure of himself. ]

[ugly_split_ends]

Mm... nah! Even I couldn't laugh at that.

You should go out and live your best life, Oxygen Thief! You do you!

[soupervillain]

I don't know if you're reverse-psychologizing me or not, but I WILL!!
