A_Fey_Dwarf
Your mind skims out over the neighborhood, seeking out the mind of chaoticjosh. Zeroing in on his unique light you delve into his mind. There you find only a simple desire to survive.

Archangel
Your snooper bot sent out on its mission to follow chaoticjosh, you have a light snack and grab a few hours sleep. After a few hours the bot returns, triggering your alarm. You wake up and examine the results. Looks like he didn't go anywhere last night. Shrugging, you head back to bed.

Frelock
The lack of a fresh human meal has left you all feeling a bit cranky. Pity alien flesh is not edible. Hopefully Pandarsenic will prove more palatable. You head off into the night in your true form, bloodlust burning in your veins.
You find him sitting out on his front steps, drinking from a bottle. You slink along the shadows, and with a burst of inhuman strength and speed you leap on him. He stands up as your claws rake along his body. With a roar he grabs onto you. You struggle for a while, him trying to shake you off while your claws rip into him. Suddenly you feel a sharp pain in your side, and the distraction is enough for him to hurl you off and into a nearby garbage bin. When you finally extricate yourself from the smelly mass he is gone. With a nasty cut to your side you decide it's wiser to head back to the others. You're not sure exactly what happened, but it is obvious you won't kill Pandarsenic this night.
You grab a stray dog from the alleyways as you head over to the warehouse. It's a bit small and thin, but it's meat. You'll need to eat human flesh soon, though. The bloodlust will allow nothing less.

Mr.Person
You head off to chaoticjosh's house. You expect that you'll be able to catch a few other people hanging around him tonight.
After watching for a bit, your efforts pay off. You spot R1ck skulking about, as well as some sort of strange robot. No one else shows up, and eventually you head off to join the others.

Org
You sit on your apartment balcony, drinking beer and smoking a cigar. You've got a gun in your pocket, in case any doppelgangers come around, but you doubt they'll be able to come up this high. As your thoughts wander through the events of the last few days you spot a small amount of movement on the roof of the building across the street. You stand up and peer into the gloom, wondering who or what is up there. A blast of blue light flashes before you, and the world ends in a flash of searing pain.
--
Pandarsenic
You wait until dusk turns to true night before heading out. You move swiftly and surely across the rooftops, until you are directly across from Org's apartment. You can see him clearly, sitting on his balcony with a beer in one hand and a cigar in his mouth. As you settle yourself down and line up the shot, he stands up a peers over in your direction. You pull the trigger. The expression on his face right before the blast of energy takes his head off is priceless! You really should start taking pictures of these moments.
Chuckling to yourself you head back to your apartment. When you get there you can sense another presence nearby. You casually take a few sips from your canteen as you try to sense where is other presence is. With a rush of air the creature launches itself at you from the darkness. You turn, but it is on you before you can ready yourself. With a roar you grab onto it, trying to find a solid grip so you can get it off of you. Its claws rake along your body, shredding clothing a bit but stopped from doing any real damage by your shields.
After a few seconds you realize that this thing isn't going to give up easily. You manage to grab out your dagger, and with a twist you plunge it into the creature's side. It hisses and arches back, giving you enough leeway to grab hold of it and hurl it off into the darkness. It lands with a crinkling thud into a garbage bin. Unfortunately, it managed to rip out the power pack on your shields as you threw it off. You'll have to be more careful from now on.
Deciding that discretion is the best course of action, you melt into the night. No telling how many of those things could be around, and you don't think you'll win a second encounter on their terms.

Rysith
As soon as you reach home you sit down at your table and grab up the chains. Your mind traces through the patterns of the rite once again, and you cast the psychic chains you into the night. You can feel them constricting around webadict, anchoring him to his home and draining the energy from him. When the rite is complete you fix yourself a nice bowl of gumbo and head off to bed.

webadict
When you reach home you find yourself inexplicably exhausted. You can feel your energy draining away with each passing minute. You barely manage to slump down on your couch before falling into a dreamless slumber. You awake the next morning hungry, cranky, and head throbbing. Hopefully Alexhans managed ok without you last night.
A_Fey_Dwarf
You fly through the darkness of the ether, your goal the brightly shining light that is Rysith's mind. You slip down through the light and into his thoughts. There you find a strong desire to protect. Your task complete, you rise again from the trance of a Telepath. Once awake you fix yourself a bowl of cereal and sit for a bit, pondering the recent events.

Alexhans
You head off to chaoticjosh's house. You don't actually expect that you'll have to do anything, but just in case someone is following you...best to look like you're doing something. When you arrive, you notice a shape on the bulding next to his. It is holding a gun, and patiently watching the window. The bloodlust rises within you. You haven't eaten human flesh in days! You...must...hunt!!
A red mist fills your mind, and the next thing you know you're scrambling up the wall. When you reach the top, the figure turns. You leap on top of him, and grunt as you are kicked backwards. With a snarl you rush forwards again, claws outstretched.
Suddenly, webadict's voice screams out in your mind. "This is the Exterminator! It is not you who must die, it is I!". You stumble in shock. The alien takes advantage of your momentary distraction to slam his fist into you. You stagger backwards, and he flicks his wrist. You feel a sharp pain, and look down to see a dagger protruding from your chest. With a hiss you reach down to grab it, but you feet have taken you too far backwards. You slip off the edge of the building, and as you fall you curse the alien. May webadict give him the painful death he deserves!
With a sudden, jarring shock, all thought ceases.

Archangel
Your snooper bot set to follow webadict you take a quick cat nap on your couch. After a few hours, it returns. It seems he went to Pandarsenic's house at some point. Putting the bot on it's charger, you take note of this fact in your journal. Then, ideas for a few improvements in mind, you head over to your drawing board.
It is dawn before you know it, but you do have some interesting designs drawn up. Stretching, you grab a cup of cofee before heading off to join the others for the day's trial.

chaoticjosh
You sit at home, reading a magazine you've already read twice and trying not to freak out at every sound. It's tough, since you know the doppelgangers want you dead. Maybe not tonight, but who knows? They could show up any time. Eventually you get up and start to get yourself a nice glass of milk. Maybe that'll calm you down.
As you pour the milk, the room shakes with a powerful explosion. You're so startled you drop the milk carton on the floor. Ignoring the mess, you rush over to your window. Outside you can see tendrils of smoke rising up from the building next to yours, and several shapes burning in the street. You duck back out of the way, your feet splashing through milk as you get away from the window. You're not sure what happened out there, but it can't have been good.

Flintus10
You get home and rest for a bit, biding your time before going to join the others. Your hunger gnaws at you. It has been days since you last feasted up human, and tonight will give you no relief. As you pace around your room, restless and agitated, you begin to feel suspiciously tired. It is an unnatural exhaustion, but try as you might you cannot fight it off. Eventually, you sink wearily into a large chair. Your mind seethes with anger even as you slip into a deep, dreamless sleep.
You awaken the next day, hungry, angry, and nursing a headache.

Mr.Person
You watch pandarsenic's house. First, you see webadict crawling around the rooftops, watching for him to emerge. After a bit, you also glimpse R1ck peering at his house from an allyway. You wait a while longer, but no one else shows up. Eventually you head off to join up with the others. There will be no feast tonight, but perhaps someone will have grabbed a stray cat or two to snack on.

Pandarsenic
You head off to chaoticjosh's house. He's become a bit of a liabilty, although this whole mission is starting to look messed up beyond repair. Still, can't have anyone saying you didn't try your best to clean up the mess.
You sit for a while on the rooftop across his house, scope trained on his kitchen window. Either he'll come into that room to turn off the lights at some point, or you'll go in after him. Either way, he's not going to see dawn. Then, you hear a slight scratching sound. A scuffle, and a faint grunt. Alarmed, you turn just in time to see a doppelganger crawl up the side of the building. When it gets ot the top it leaps at you. Your gun drops to the ground as you spin and kick it backwards. It grunts, and stumbles back to its feet. With a hiss it rushes forwards, claws extended. As it gets close, however, it stumbles and looks momentarily confused. You take advantage of the opportunity, and slam your fist into it. It stumbles backwards, and you grab your knife. A quick throw, and it looks down at the blade buried in its chest. A moment later, it is flailing its arms and falling off the side of the building.
You stand there, blood pounding in your ears. After a moment, you have the incongruous thought of wondering why a creature with no eyes would look down at something. You chuckle, and walk back over to where your gun sits on the roof. As you bend down to pick it up, you hear a thud behind you. You turn just in time to see a doppelganger latch onto you. Its teeth slice into your neck, and you can feel the sharp pain of claws raking your sides. You struggle, but you can feel yourself weakening. With your shields gone, there won't be an escape this time. As you slip into darkness you whisper a word into the hole where doppelganger's ear should be.
"boom".

R1ck
You watch pandarsenic's house, eger to see what might happen. First, you see webadict crawling around the rooftops. After a bit, you also glimpse Mr. Person peering at his house from the window of an abandoned apartment. You wait a while longer, but no one else shows up. You note everything down, and head home to get a few hours of sleep.

Rysith
Your table is covered in runes, the silver chains are in your hands, and you steel yourself again for the rite of submission. Never before have you had to use your psychic powers so often, and it is starting to take its toll. Nonetheless, you began the chant. You draw psychic energy up from hidden reserves within you, and cast the chains out into the night. You feel them fall upon Flintus10, binding him and draining his energy. When you are satisfied that he is well and truly bound, you let go the reigns of power. Exhausted, you collapse into your bed. You're going to need a vacation when all of this is done.

webadict
You follow Pandarsenic to a rooftop. As you circle around the area looking for a good avenue of attack you see Alexhans rushing at him. You can feel the bloodlust filling his mind. Alarmed, you send a powerful message into his head. "This is the Exterminator! It is not you who must die, it is I!"
He pauses a moment, only to get punched backwards by the alien. As you rush towards the fight, you see Alexhans stagger backwards with a knife in his chest. You can hear his dying curses as he topples over the side of the building to crash onto the pavement below. Angered, you keep moving. This Alien shall not survive this night!
Getting closer, you watch as Pandarsenic relaxes a bit and heads over to his gun. With a mighty leap you cross the gap between buildings and land behind him. He turns, but is too late to stop you. Your teeth clamp onto his neck, and your claws dig deep into his sides. He struggles to throw you off, but his efforts only cause more damage. Eventually, you feel him weakening.
As he grows close to death, he breaths a single word into your ear.
"boom."
The world explodes in pain and fire, and then there is nothing.
