[Empiricist]

"There was an altercation yesterday evening. Several lost their heads. Literally. The killer remains elusive."

[Xantalos]

Ah. Have fun with that.

[Empiricist]

Lucinda waits for one of the two to say something.
((Here's my summarized plan for the evacuation scenario:
At the commencement of the event, the event will take place a small quantity of time into the future, hence, roleplaying may continue in the present so that the event does not halt everything which people understandably dislike.

The hostile entity shall enter from the outskirts of the city, it will be on a timer, when that timer hits zero, it will disappear and the event will be over. However, if it succeeds in killing enough civilians in a certain timeframe, that timer will be reset. Hence, as long as the kill rate of the hostile is kept below that threshold, the scenario will be a "success".

The main focus would likely be evacuating, seeing as the hostile's attacks, against human-sized targets will likely result in instant-death unless some sort of mitigation occurs, therefore, unless the character is able to increase their chances of survival somehow, such as being immortal, being a god, teleporting or being inside a mech, it isn't advisable to actually fight it.))

[Xantalos]

((Alright, that sounds good.))

So tell me more about the killings. I'm curious.

[Empiricist]

"Not entirely sure, here was a concert last night, though I left with Yukari after her debut, however, when we returned after hearing about something happening there, there were corpses. Decapitated, a quick clean kill for each."

[Xantalos]

Most interesting. I know there aren't many authorities in this place - I forgot to add them in - so what have you figured out from investigation?

[Empiricist]

"Can't say too much myself, I found little though the killer either killed them stealthily or killed very quickly. The victims were near each other, they lacked the time or information to back away. That being said, the killer is unprofessional, to decapitate all those people would have probably seen harder to achieve than killing each of them in the option most feasible at the time."

[Xantalos]

That doesn't indicate a lack of professionalism or a case of incompetence, it just means they like chopping off heads and are very very good at doing so.

[Empiricist]

Lucinda nods slowly. "A fair point I suppose... shall we go check whether anyone we knew died?"
((Seems like this thread is dead again.))

[Xantalos]

I don't know any of you, but I've nothing better to do.

[Empiricist]

I have no idea whether any of the patrons are actually dead.

[Xantalos]

Was it Elf's plot?

[Empiricist]

Mcclay's and he hasn't posted here for quite a while. I had to knock away his antagonist from a character via gimp dolphin just so we could even timeskip since it was so late in the evening.

[Xantalos]

Hmm. Want to take over the plot with a new ending then or shall I?

[Empiricist]

I have no idea. I think @Mcclay was busy rather than having abandoned it. The main issue it even poses is that we have no idea whether any yet to be defined character any PC knew died or not.
