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.]

[It isn't until the door slams shut behind him that what's happening really hits Kaoru. He doesn't waste time on the door—if that had any chance of working he's sure Kyouya would've managed to escape. Instead, he turns to head into the park, hoping desperately that he'll find a place to hide before being found himself.]

[Sorry to say, but he's noticed quickly. But oh my, is that a friendly voice calling out from the darkness?]

Psst, Kaoru. Over here!

[When the door shuts behind him and the bracelet continues to beep, K snaps into reality and looks at the bracelet. It reminds him of how Miko's bracelet suddenly beeped when Legion died.

Then it's as he feared. K stands by the door firmly, wondering if the killers will show themselves, and waits.]

[ K will hear one of them coming before he actually appears, small heels clicking against the pavement until a small figure comes into view. The silhouette before he comes completely into view might make it obvious, since no one else is really partial to wearing the Victorian costumes from the costume shop, but it's not as if Ciel is trying to hide his identity at this point. Once he steps into the light completely, he speaks up calmly and coolly. ]

Good evening, K.

[sunshade]

[ Patchouli appears second, and in direct opposition to Ciel, her movement makes no sound at all. Probably because she's wearing pajama slippers, but details, details.

Her expression is flat and indifferent. ]

Salutations. Though now is not the time for casual greetings.

[And here comes a third! Anise's original plan was to run to him, terrified, but since he's taken to standing there, he must already knows what's up]


Oh, K! Your bracelet is beeping. You shouldn't just stand there!

[crueltobekind]

Tamaki—?

[Well gosh why would he do anything but go right towards him?]

[sparklyrichbastard]

Come with me. Quickly now!

[I sure can't think of a reason! Time to go on a friendly walk between friends.]

[crueltobekind]

[Nothing suspicious about this!]

What's going on? Are you with the medical team?

[sparklyrichbastard]

Kind of! I'm here to save you.

[Okay, but Tamaki, why are you walking toward the Tunnel of Love?]

[crueltobekind]

. . . With love? Shouldn't we be getting out of the park?

[sparklyrichbastard]

Just trust me! This is how we have to do this.

[Tamaki ushers him inside, where the ride is turned on, even though it had been closed the entire time up to now.]

[crueltobekind]

O . . . kay. If you say so.

[Guess we're getting on this ride.]

[sparklyrichbastard]

[Our majestic swan chariot will carry us to salvation.]

[eventhandler]

[You know that strange feeling you get when there's someone watching you while your back is turned?]

[Well, Kaoru and Tamaki might be getting it now. There's a shuffling noise in the backseat (is someone getting on?) and then silence. But the feeling, that prickling feeling of someone watching you, is there for a reason. For now, there's a man sitting in the back seat. Kaoru and Tamaki are not alone.]

[Royce Bracket doesn't say a word. He just sits and stares at the two teenagers in front of him with that haunting gaze of his. Sitting.]

[Waiting.]

[crueltobekind]

[Kaoru turns to see what the shuffling sound is—but he doesn't seem alarmed. Why would he be? His friend brought him here!! There's nothing to be afraid of. Right???]

Is . . . Is this your buddy?? You . . . You didn't tell us you had one.

[Why didn't you tell us you had one Dad??]

[sparklyrichbastard]

Not exactly...

[The swan is starting to move.]

But at any rate, he won't harm you. Think of him as our chaperone.

[eventhandler]

...

[Royce still sits, not saying anything. Honestly, he hopes this won't go on as long as the last time...]

[crueltobekind]

[Kaoru . . . frowns a little.]

If he's not your buddy then who . . . Why is he here?

[sparklyrichbastard]

Kaoru... I have to tell you something. It's going to sound a bit frightening, but I'd like you to try listening with an open mind, all right?

[crueltobekind]

What is it? What's going on?

[sparklyrichbastard]

I'm a VIP, but we aren't killing anyone.

[crueltobekind]

N . . . No. No—you're not. Kyouya was killed so you can't be.

[sparklyrichbastard]

No no no. Kyouya is fine! I'm sure he's still mad, but he woke up without a problem! I'm so sorry I had to let you worry like that!

[crueltobekind]

No—no. He's dead! I saw the body!!
