A_Fey_Dwarf
You sit on your couch, waiting to see if you are once again drained and forced to sleep. As you feel the invisible chains tighten around you again, you settle yourself on the couch. Might as well sleep in a decent position.
You wake up the next morning, head aching again and your stomach grumbling. Today, however, there is something different. You smell...blood. Getting up you walk to your kitchen, where you find a nice plump human leg sitting in your sink. Muchenik must have been successful!

JanusTwoface
You sit at home, listening to the quiet mutterings of the dead. Suddenly, there is a furious pounding at your door! Worried, you rush over an look out the peephole to see RedWarrior0 standing there. He has a very worried expression on his face, and he shouts for you to let him in. Knowing it might be a mistake, you do so anyway.
Once inside he pulls you down to a crouch so you are both out of the line of sight of the window. "It's NUKE9.13," he says, "He's after you. I'll hold him off as long as I can, but you've got to get into hiding!". You nod and crawl off. You open up a small crawlspace under your stairs and cram yourself in, closing the door behind you. It's musty, dark, and probably full of spiders. But if you're lucky you won't be spotted. You hear the sound of gunshots and the tromping of shoes through the house, a clattering sound, the shattering of pots, more gunshots, and then an ominous silence.
After many long, anxious hours you crawl out, cramped and exhausted. But you're alive, at that's more then you expected. Looking around your house, you see that your living room window has been shattered. Thinking about the gunshots last night, you head back to your garden. There you see your garbage can lying on its side, a giant hole burned through the metal. Your pots of vegetables are shattered, potshards and dirt littering the bricks of your patio. Examining the area further, you find a charred body lying behind your shed. You're not sure, but it is probably RedWarrior0.

NUKE9.13
You gear up and head after JanusTwoFace. This human has proven to be quite troublesome. He must be put down so that he cannot pose any further threat to the Mission!
As you near his house, you suddenly run into another figure. He gasps at the sight of you and ducks behind a fence. A blast of the Holy Light shatters wood as you fire at him, but he seems to be gone. Growling you search around, looking for him. You follow his tracks, seeing how he rolled behind the fence, dodged through some bushes, and apparently leaped over a hedge. He's heading towards Janus's house! You race after him.
As you round the corner you see a figure disappear into the house. Troubling. As you make your way around you suddenly hear gunshots! You duck to the ground as glass showers around you. Apparently someone in there is armed. You peer over the edge of the window and see a figure dashing towards the back of the house. He must be making a break for the back. You dash around the house, your holy blaster out and ready. The figure dashes out of the back door. The Holy Light flashes by him, sending a trash can spinning in the air with a large hole in it. The man sprints forward and leaps over a row of large pots. You fire again, shattering pots, but he escapes around the back of a shed. You dodge as he pops out, bullets missing you by mere inches. "Enough", you growl to yourself, and ready a Nova grenade. You toss the glowing yellow orb over behind the shed. A moment later you see a flash of light as the Holy Weapon kills anything living in the area. You carefully walk around the shed and find a body lying on the ground. It is charred beyond recognition.
You head back home. Your target has certainly fled by now, if this was not him. You will have to see what the day brings.

RedWarrior0
You head over to Janus' house to guard him tonight. As you near the house, you see a dark figure sneaking towards it. You gasp as you recognize the ominous figure. Even though you cannot see a face the build of the body, the way he walks, it must be NUKE9.13! He turns at the sound and looks at you, raising a weapon towards you. You dive behind a fence and roll as fragments of wood shatter around you from his attack. You quickly scramble through some bushes, get to your feet, and with a running start you leap over a line of hedges to get to Janus' house.
There you bang on the door, expecting a bullet in the back at any moment. After a moment you hear footsteps, and you can tell he's behind the door. You shout for him to let you in, and he opens the door with a worried look on his face. You grab him and duck down so the two of you can't be seen through the windows. "It's NUKE9.13," you say, "He's after you. I'll hold him off as long as I can, but you've got to get into hiding!". He nods and crawls off.
You peer out a window and see a dark shape approaching. You pull out your pistol and fire off a few shots, the glass shattering. The figure ducked, though, and you don't think you hit him. Not waiting to see what he's going to do next you run towards the back of the house. As you burst through the kitchen door a blast of light whizzes past you to slam into a garbage can. It flies off into the darkness with a clatter. You run forward, leaping over a line of large pots and head towards a nearby shet. You can hear the pots shatter behind you as you run. Ducking behind the shed you ready your gun. Your heart beats quickly, the sound pounding in your ears. You take a deep breath and pop out from behind the shed, firing shots off at the dark figure near the house. You duck back behind the shed, and start fumbling another clip of bullets out from your pocket. As you reload the gun a glowing yellow ball arcs over the shed and lands a few moments away. With a sinking feeling in your stomach you stare at it for a moment before the world explodes in a bright flash.
Death is swift and painless.

Rysith
Once again you sink down into a meditative trance and send your psychic body free. Sending your thoughts out to find A_Fey_Dwarf, you skim through the dwindled lights of the town's survivors. Once you located his unique light, you dive down and into his thoughts. There you feel an intense to desire to kill. Somewhat shaken by the intensity of the feeling, you return to your body.

ToonyMan
The ritual is comfortable now, and you effortlessly cast out your psychic chains of binding onto A_Fey_Dwarf again. You feel the bonds tighten against him, and after a while you allow the ritual to end. So easy to keep someone bound.
As you lean backwards in your chair you are grabbed from behind! A hand over your mouth muffles your scream, and you feel a sharp pain as needle-sharp teeth rip into your throat. Death comes swiftly.

The hunger burns within you. You must kill...you must feed. And Toonyman...he must die. Assuming your true form you bound into the night.
At Toonyman's house you find the back door unlocked. You creep inside, and make your way through the kitchen. You can hear chanting coming from the dining room. As you peer around the corner you seem Toonyman sitting at a table, a candle before him and small chains in his hands. As you watch he stops chanting, sighs, and leans back. You take this moment to rush forward, your hands grabbing at him. One hand muffles the screams, while another binds him to his chair. He barely has time to react at all before your teeth find his throat. He struggles, but not for long.
You eat your fill, and decide to leave what is left at A_Fey_Dwarf's house. He must be starving after so many nights of forced slumber.

Xegeth
You spend a while watching ToonyMan through your cameras. Everything seems normal though, and you head home convinced that he is almost certainly human.
A_Fey_Dwarf
Invigorated by your meal yesterday and emboldened by the death of the Psychic Warden you shift into your true form and head out into the night. No one will stop you this time!
You head off to Xegeth's house, sneaking your way through the deserted streets. You find him walking up the path to his house, a briefcase under his arm. You sneak up behind him and tap him on the shoulder. He whirls around, dropping the briefcase and reaching a hand underneath his coat. Before he can pull out his weapon, however, your claws slash through his throat. He sinks to the ground, trying desperately to staunch the flow of blood. You kick him over and watch him squirm on the ground for a few minutes before he finally lies still. You lick your lips...fresh blood is going to taste wonderful!

Rysith
You are floating free again, your mind gazing at the few points of life left in this miserable town. You hone in on muchenik's and skim his thoughts. There you find a strong desire to kill. You disengage your mind and return to your body.
--
Xegeth
You head off to Rysith's house to make sure he is, in fact, human. After monitoring him for a bit you pack up your things and head home. Nothing our of the ordinary there, so you're pretty sure he is human after all.
As you walk up your driveway you feel a tap on your shoulder. You whirl about to see a hideous doppelganger standing there, it's mouth gaping wide and rows of teeth glistening in the pale light of the moon. You drop your briefcase of notes and reach for your gun. Before you can pull it out, though, the monster slashes your throat with its claws. You sink you your knees, blood gushing out from between your fingers as you struggle to stop the bleeding. With a contemptuous grunt the doppelganger kicks you to the ground. You grow weaker, your body feels colder, and slowly your vision dims. After what seems like an eternity, death finally takes you.
Rysith
Once again you sink down into a meditative trance and send your psychic body free. Sending your thoughts out to find Frelock, you discover that you are unable to find his thoughts. He appears to be shielding his mind in some fashion. Eventually you give up your search and return to your body.
--
Frelock
You sit at your work bench, tinkering with the ammo canisters for your Assassin Bot. You hear a slight scuffling sound behind you. You turn, expecting to see your cat hunting something. Instead, you gaze upon the horrible visage of a doppelganger! You hurl your hammer at it, but it just bats it aside and lunges at you. Sharp claws rip into your sides as it pulls you close, and for a brief moment you feel a sharp pain in your throat. Then, a hot wet rush of blood down your chest, a coldness in your limbs, and finally death's sweat embrace.

A_Fey_Dwarf
You know this night might be your last. But at least you'll take down two more of these humans with you. Tonight...tonight Frelock gets to die.
You sneak into his house and make your way silently down to the basement. There you find Frelock working on some contraption or another. Your foot brushes against some metal sheeting as you move closer, and he turns around. Gasping in surprise he hurls a hammer at you, but you brush it aside with a casual wave of your hand and rush towards him. Your claws sink deep into his sides as you grasp onto him, and drag him forward. His eyes are wide, and you can smell the fear on him as your teeth clamp down on his throat. He jerks in his death throes as you rip into him, the bloodlust rising to a roar within you. Eventually you sit down to a feast, letting the joy of fresh blood and meat wash away all thoughts of tomorrow.
