WEEK 6

[grimgrinningghosts]

[Another week has come and gone, and three more people are dead. Nearly half of the guests are dead in a little over a month. The ghosts are still not reacting, and with Demyx's execution one has to wonder if the ghosts are even here anymore.

In the very least one more floor has been opened up: the trophy room, a shooting gallery, and a bathing room.

... Maybe keep Kiara out of the trophy room.

14 guests remain.]

[ SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY ]

[thumbs up] Eeyyyy.

So are these though. In my time, there's like, hundreds of different guns, all for different stuff. Mostly shooting things, and hunting.

[wannagetsmote]

[Fingerguns!!!! You're his favorite, Wendy.]

That takes the fun out of hunting though, doesn't. You're just... letting something else do the work?

[kindaruledatit]

[She takes great pride in that, Maui 'the rock' johnson.]

Ehh. It's not like it's much different then using a bow and arrow, or a hook. It's just a tool.

[She turns back to the targets, fiddling with the reload on her gun.] Besides, I usually use a crossbow instead. It's quieter.

[wannagetsmote]

Sure, but at least with a hook, you're hands on. The kill happens practically in your hand. [He stopped, grimacing at his words. Talking about killing probably wasn't the best idea in a murder mansion, even if he did mean monsters and/or wildlife.]

What's a crossbow?

[kindaruledatit]

[Wendy kind of makes a face. Yeaaaah, maybe don't go waving that around, big guy.] Sure, but when you can't do that, these work too.

[She blinks.] Oh, it's like... a bow and you can just push a trigger and it fires the arrow. So it's like a gun, but arrows.

[wannagetsmote]

Arrowgun. [Maui's eyes seemed to light up. Maybe he liked being hands on, but that? That sounded pretty cool. Probably would have made a world of difference in the fight against Te Ka, too. It wouldn't have killed her, but at least it would have made for a decent distraction.]

I want one. How do I get one.

[kindaruledatit]

[Wendy is almost positive that a guy like Maui would like to be hands-on. He brings to mind her dad, who would certainly like to try and feel trees with his bare hands.]

I dunno. Kinda wish I had my own crossbow, though. Maybe you'll get lucky and there'll be one in that slot machine.

[She aims at a target, and fires. Hits it in the shoulder.]

Maybe if we got all the bits I could make one?

[wannagetsmote]

You know what? Just for that, I'm gonna take more of those dumb coins down there soon. [His one attempt hadn't gotten him anything worthwhile, and while it did seem to help Anna, it also traumatized Namine. Not a good trade-off, if you asked him.]

I hope we can get those "bits." Or your crossbow. Think they'd be nice enough to let that happen?

[kindaruledatit]

What? You haven't? [Wait.] I mean, dude I totally understand that. Every time I put in some coins a dead thing pops out.

[At least they got zebra tacos one time. The other times were less fun.]

Hey anything possible. Maybe they'd do it in the hopes that you'd kill someone with it.

[Haha.... ha....]

[wannagetsmote]

See what I mean? But I'll try again, just for you.

[He paused, considering his words in the context of his own. For a moment, Maui almost looked sheepish.]

I mean. So you can have your weapon, not so that you can hurt anyone. Because, uh, you wouldn't. I know that.

[kindaruledatit]

Aww, that's sweet. [She'll be honored, especially if something dead pops out on Maui. It'd be kind of funny.]

And yeah, I wouldn't. I hunt sometimes, but I'm definitely not going to go after anyone here. That's pretty uncool. [None of these people are sweat bat meat either.]

[wannagetsmote]

Ugh, Don't say it like that. [Sorry Wendy, you're getting a shove. A playful one, but even Maui's playful is probably a little too rough.]

Yeah, okay, good. I'm just... checking. Can't lose you, or anyone else here.

[kindaruledatit]

[It's still a shove from Maui, so Wendy's gonna need to take a step back from that. But she's still feeling pretty hearty about all this.] Alright, alright. I see what you mean, man. I don't want to lose anyone else anymore either.

[she's honest.]

Least I'm pretty sure a big guy like you wouldn't go down easy, huh.

[wannagetsmote]

Probably not. [Maui looked a little troubled as he spoke, though, his dark brows knitting tightly together over his eyes. He shifted a bit, reaching up to rub at the back of his neck before lowering his hand once more.]

I'm more vulnerable now though. Don't know how I feel about that. You'd think people would hesitate out of fear of being smiteded, but... [He shrugged.]

[kindaruledatit]

So... you're mortal like the rest of us. Huh, makes sense. [That's... well, it's not good. But she never wanted to assume that he would be.]

Yeah, I kind of wish whoever brought us all here got a good smiting, buuut I get the feeling they're not exactly normal people either, you know?

[wannagetsmote]

I don't know about mortal. I don't think I've aged since I got here but... maybe? But immortality doesn't mean unkillable.

[Maui held out his hands, flexed them once, before tilting them so that Wendy could see his knuckles. They wounds weren't open anymore, it'd been four weeks since he'd damaged them after all. But there was still redness from where he had cut them to the bone, the space still struggling to heal.]

Used to be that I could punch stone and break it to pieces. So I tried punching a couple walls here. Didn't work so good.

[kindaruledatit]

[Wendy peers at the wounds on Maui's hands and cringes at the scars. Yeesh, he's seen better days.]

Well... least you got some cool scars out of it? [There she goes, trying to look on the bright side of it. She gives him the horns gesture.] Metal!
