Night five - kill log

[guestcontrol]

Who: Killers, K, and Kaoru
What: discovering whether robots and gingers have no souls
When: The fifth night
Where: The park...

[It's in the dead of the night when K's door abruptly unlocks. His bracelet begins to beep. Something seems to be calling him, ordering him to leave his room. For every moment he delays, it beeps with more and more urgency, especially if he tries to bring anything. And besides, he feels groggy, not inclined to protest much. Shortly after, Kaoru's door also unlocks, and he's led to the park behind him.

As he steps outside, lights illuminate the path. The lights lead into the park. As soon as either one steps through the door into the park, the door slams shut. It won't open for again, and pounding on the door or calling for help will not yield any results. It's only once inside that the grogginess wears off.

You can run or try to hide, but there's not much use to it. Your bracelet is still beeping, the only obvious sound in the darkness. And though you're not restrained, you'll find there's no way you can strike a blow against the killers; the bracelet will tighten and you'll feel the grogginess return if you try to fight back.]

I know it's hard to believe, but please, you have to try! Would I lie to you about something like this?

[crueltobekind]

N-No, but. But we saw the bodies.

[sparklyrichbastard]

This park isn't real. I know it looks real... and feels real...

[He zones out for a second there.]

...But that's what makes it so frightening and awful! That's why I want to get you out of here!

[crueltobekind]

. . . I want to get off the ride.

[sparklyrichbastard]

Ah. It won't be so bad. It'll be over before you know it.

[Fidget, fidget. This got awkward fast.]

[crueltobekind]

[here come the waterworks]

Tamaki—please. Just let me go!

[sparklyrichbastard]

I'm sorry, Kaoru. I would have liked to play with you a little more, but here we are.

[shrugs uncomfortably]

And I think this is rather kinder than making you wait a day with your bracelet beeping...

[crueltobekind]

Not picking one of us at all would've been kinder! I thought we were friends!

[sparklyrichbastard]

[and now I'm crying]

We are friends! It's because we're friends that I want to see you set free!

[crueltobekind]

I don't want to! I don't want to be! I want to go home and see Hikaru and Haruhi again!

[sparklyrichbastard]

But you will! You'll see them both very soon, and Kyouya too!

[crueltobekind]

[OH GOD KYOUYA]

[chokes back a sob]

sorry not sorry

[eventhandler]

[LOUD SIGH FROM THE BACK SEAT]

Can we...can we get a move on? Tamaki...?

Re: sorry not sorry

[sparklyrichbastard]

[turning back and snapping]

Do you mind?

[TIME FOR A DARING ESCAPE FROM THIS MOVING RIDE!11

It really isn't a very good attempt with the grogginess that sets in unfortunately. He really only manages to stand up and kind of. Wobble.]

[eventhandler]

[Royce is just going to lean forward, grab Kaoru by the shoulder, and push him back down. No use in having him endanger the rest of them, thank you.]

[He shoots Tamaki a look.] The ride is almost over. We don't have all night for...this.

[sparklyrichbastard]

[Fine, I guess I'll just pull out my gun then.]

You don't have to be so rude about it. He's obviously frightened!

[crueltobekind]

[Nnnno no no no. Trying to stand up again with not very much luck at all]

Tamaki—Tamaki don't. Please!

[eventhandler]

Tamaki...

[No, Kaoru, you're not going anywhere. Again, Royce pushes him down.]

Frightened, not frightened...it must be done.

[sparklyrichbastard]

[Ignores Royce and reaches over to touch Kaoru's arm in what is theoretically a more soothing gesture.]

It'll be okay, I promise. Just close your eyes.

[crueltobekind]

[Jerks away from him, pressing up against the far side of the boat]

Don't touch me!

[eventhandler]

[Royce will sit back, though he's ready to push Kaoru down again if need be.]

[He doesn't say anything. He only waits for Tamaki to make his move.]

[sparklyrichbastard]

[Tamaki... doesn't make a move. He's kinda hurt, tbh.]

Kaoru, please...

[crueltobekind]

—Don't you dare plead with me when you're about to kill me!

[sparklyrichbastard]

[idly fiddling with his gun]

Sorry, you're right. I don't deserve to ask, but could you maybe... not look at me? While I do this.
