"I don't see how this leads to cold-blooded murder, but go on."

[Radio Controlled]

"almost there.

Next question: how did you feel after you had that dream, the one warning you of things to come? Why did you act on it, and what proof did you have that it wasn't your mind playing a trick on you?"

[Toaster]

"Like... sure it was certain.  Never more certain than anything.  Tried to look things up, and I can't find anything to claim it's not so.  Plus all this crazy shit happening.  I just knew it was right.

Seriously, you just stabbed that dude.  What gives?"

[Xantalos]

I would very much like to know why as well.

[Radio Controlled]

"Well now. Yesterday, I had a pretty crap day. Attacked by madmen, had to run for my life, all sorts of bad mojo. End of the world baby, you know how it goes. And today, well today certainly didn't start of with rainbows and unicorns either. Yet, as the day progressed, I kept having the feeling everything just started going... slower than the day before. Like when you wait at a doctor's office and it just goes on forever.
And not just because I was pumpin' adrenaline and kicking ass the day before. It really felt as if time itself was actually running down. I didn't notice it all that much in the beginning, but then that guy showed up.

Sam, was his name? Whatever it was, since he and the rest of you showed up, well, that was when everything started going at a snail's pace. What felt like minutes were only seconds, my watch told me, and what seemed like weeks and weeks was only an hour.
It was as if time itself was grinding to a halt. And just like how all of you instinctively knew that what you dreamed was the truth, I just knew that guy over here was at least partially responsible for it.

And I knew that, if I didn't do something very fast, then time would finally grind to a halt and we would be stuck here. We'd be trapped in infinite limbo, in the imperceptible timelessness between seconds, never moving on.
And I would honestly rather be gunned down right here right now than suffer that fate.

If I die, then at least I'll find closure, and maybe my soul can move on.

I harbor no harmful intent to any of you. Hell, it seems that the second this guy died, time sprang into high gear again! I may have just saved all our lives! And as long as whatever was just happening doesn't occur again, I wouldn't dream of harming any of you. I mean, why would I?

So, what's it gonna be boys? We gonna move on with our lives now, or are we gonna go all soap drama here?"

[Xantalos]

((Ah, I see what happened.))

"On one hand, I know exactly the feeling you're describing. On the other hand, you killed a guy, and if the world's really ending in a few days, I'm the closest thing there is here to a cop. And murder's illegal."

Action edited to be more funny.

[Toaster]

"You realize how insane that sounds, right?"

Action here for good measure: If there's any non-slapstick violence, run to my car and GTFO.  Go back to the house?

[Kriellya]

((Ah, I see what happened.))

(( Welp. This happened. And now we know how he carries out a threat. Did you even roll that, PW?
Also, I think I'm addicted to seeing what sort of random details PW throws into things when given the chance XD ))

Spend a few minutes visually ticking while thinking about the rune some more, then calmly plate some food and sit down on something.

[Radio Controlled]

((Xan, just for the record, but there is a very big chance that'll kill Rico regardless. And if you kill him now, it'll be your responsibility to tale up my mantel and keep this game alive.

At first, I was gonna try and kill you as well in the same turn because you also have been a MAJOR source of holding up the game and almost killing it. But then you posted something at last, and I decided to give you another chance.))

[Xantalos]

((True. I'm just unsure of what to do in that regard while also not disregarding IC stuff.
Hnnnngggg I've no idea what to do))

Actually, I have solution that allows for even more comedy

[Radio Controlled]

((Well, you had better decide before pw runs the actions. Yes, this whole thing makes no real sense IC. But it was the only way to keep this thing from dying.))

[Xantalos]

((Edited, and I can justify it IC. Paul becomes a bit more Judge Dreddy, but that's alright. Plus, nonlethal testicle baton assault is funny regardless of the circumstances.))

[PyroDesu]

((Well, now that I find out only about yesterday that this wasn't dead like I thought it was...

This sucks. If I'd known that PW'd posted and you guys kept playing, I would've too.))

[Radio Controlled]

((Sending pm to clear things out.))

[syvarris]

((...

Wow.  I did not expect that, although reading Radio's reasoning, I kinda understand it.  I have to wonder though, did you ever ask PW if you could just, y'know, lay Sam yourself whenever Pyro failed to post an action?  Outright ousting a player from this type of game game with no direct warning prior is... a bit rude.

Also, if I were a person in this group, Rico would die.  Very soon.  He's either homicidally insane, or very bad at making up an excuse.  Either way, there's no IC justification for believing he wouldn't kill me next.  In fact, it makes even more sense if I were aware that Rico had been in an asylum, although I don't think he ever mentioned that to anyone.))
