[@Mateotis] [@Majoras End] [@FamishedPants] And I'll tag [@Melo] & [@Aewin] because I said I would. [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/dNTpes5.gif[/img] [/center] Bliss examined the fight from afar. She could see Ice’s face curl into a snarl. “You’ve been keeping to yourself an awful lot. I wouldn’t be surprised if you killed someone. Don’t pretend to be better than me!” It was clear he wasn’t going to take Zachary’s remarks sitting down, even if Alice was doing her best to end things. Though she was a bit on edge herself. With a sigh, Cyrus walked away from the counter and into the squabble. “We lost two good people yesterday, and it’s understandable that some of us-” Ice turned to the newly arrived. “Put a sock in it! Nobody cares what some flipping bong thinks about all this?” Cyrus took off his glasses. “…Excuse me?” Emily stood up and walked towards Cyrus in an attempt to stem the conflict, but that was when Bliss stopped looking at the fight. Her attention was on someone else. [center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/385033360633757696/390291593636347905/Justiciar.gif[/img][/center] With the fight going on, Justiciar’s appearance went largely unnoticed by everyone. the vigilante was staring at Bliss the entire time they were in the room, and walked towards her table. It wasn’t long before they took a seat across from her. [color=#F08172]”J-Justiciar!”[/color] Bliss folded her hands under the table. [color=#F08172]”What are you doing here?”[/color] The armored individual only hesitated for a moment. They drew their gun and pointed it at her. “Serving justice.” [hr] Justiciar had yet to enter the break room before Dennis tried to get their attention. “’Scuse me?” He said, but it didn’t look like they planned on stopping. Henry had tensed up at the sight of Justiciar, but was confused when it didn't seem to notice them. Wasn't the vigilante only seen on the Nights of Carnage? Thinking for a moment, the pianist decided to follow Justiciar, once he was given the chance. Justiciar stopped in front of the break room and looked at the door. Without hesitating, they drew their gun and reached for the door knob. Oh no. [Color=mediumaquamarine]"Wait! STOP!!"[/color] Henry yelled, grabbing Justiciar's gun. [Color=mediumaquamarine]"What are you doing?!"[/color] The Vigilante was not too pleased with this, and promptly swung their arm out of the way. Justiciar’s armor must have augmented their strength, because it felt like Henry was fighting with a hydraulic piston instead of a human’s arm. Or maybe Henry just skipped arm day more often then his opponent. Once the gun was out of the way, they redirected their foot and kicked into Henry’s chest. It was just hard enough to send him stumbling backwards into Denis, who struggled to stop Henry’s momentum. “Do not impede me.” Justiciar’s static filled voice came from a speaker on their helmet. They turned to face the two with their gun pointed at the ground. “Justice must be served. I have it on good authority that the bear will set another trap. The only way it can be avoided is by starting the game’s fifth and final trial.”  He wasn't going to lie, it didn't feel too good getting the wind knocked out of him. The pianist nodded to the spy as thanks for catching him, then turned his attention back to the vigilante. Henry's eyes widened in fear when they explained that they were going to kill one of them to avoid some trap. [Color=mediumaquamarine]"W-What...?!"[/color] He felt conflicted. They did needed a final trial to end the game, but at the same time... [Color=mediumaquamarine]"...Are you sure?"[/color] “It’s part of the formula.” Justiciar placed a hand on their hip. “After the trial, the bear will try to lure more of us out during the night of carnage. Not everyone will take the bait, but someone will. Maybe a few people. The chances of everyone coming back alive is slim.” Their gaze was unflinching. The yellow orbs in their head only grew in intensity.  So that's how things got worse. It was all planned. Henry was silent for a moment, then nodded in understanding. "Just...don't hurt Alice. Please." “That really good idea?” Denis tossed Henry to the side. He was practically growling the words through his teeth. “Why not kill self then!?!?” Justiciar turned their head, just slightly, so that they could look directly at Denis. “I could do that.” there was a sigh before they continued. “But there is a wolf who hides in sheep’s clothes. I was able to access the fourth floor during the night of carnage. There’s a computer that contains a lot of information about us. It’s all true, I looked up myself to confirm. I was even able to cross reference facts and other things I knew about all of you. The reason why I’m choosing to murder instead of commit suicide is because this person cannot be permitted to live.”  Denis groaned before looking at Henry. “You sure about this?” [Color=mediumaquamarine]"If all else fails, they still get executed, right?"[/color] The pianist said, a bit worried. But the mention of a computer on the fourth floor made him curious. So he decided to ask. [Color=mediumaquamarine]"Is there a way I can get to this computer?"[/color] Seemed off to him, since they should've unlocked the next floor by then. “I have no idea what’s going to happen after the fifth trial.” Justiciar turned back towards the door. “If the game is still going, you could break down the door during the night of carnage. If it’s not, who knows?” And with that, Justiciar entered. [hr] “Bliss Buckly, I don’t think anyone present has the same kill count you have.” By this point, everyone took notice of the person with a metallic voice talking to Bliss. “You killed your brother and fled your home before being picked up at an orphanage. That was likely a mercy killing, as he was suffering from stone man syndrome. Is this correct?” Bliss didn’t answer, but Justiciar briefly looked at Cyrus before looking back at Bliss. “I’m surprised you told him something like that, but at least we know that’s true.” They kept their gun leveled with Bliss’s head. [color=#F08172]”If you’re going to kill me, that’s fine, just don’t-”[/color] She clasped her hand over her mouth. [color=#F08172]”Please don’t mention the other thing.”[/color] “The other thing.” Justiciar leaned forward onto one of her arms. “You mean how you became a child serial killer?” Bliss froze, but Justiciar kept talking. “The Lamia killings, that’s what they called your brutal string of murders. You targeted wealthy families. I’m sorry, but the reports I read never stated why you did it. Most serial killers do these types of things to live out some sort of fantasy, but maybe you were just envious of them? If they died, maybe the parents would adopt a piece of shit like you?” Bliss had covered her face with her hands. [color=#F08172]”I-I wanted to help.”[/color] She folded her hands in her lap. [color=#F08172]”The other children in the orphanage, they never knew happiness.”[/color] Bliss sniffed. [color=#F08172]”I-I did it for them!”[/color] “You killed children, to help children?” [color=#F08172]”I know what I did was wrong. I don’t do that anymore. That’s why I became the infinite nanny, so that I could right my wrongs and become a better person.”[/color] Bliss sighed. Her breath was ragged. [color=#F08172]”I use to think every child should experience happiness at least once, but I think every child should experience as much happiness as possible.”[/color] “I’m glad you feel that way.” Justiciar sat upright. “Because I feel every child deserves justice.” [i]BANG[/i] Before Cyrus could say anything, the armor piercing bullet was of a high enough caliber that the force vaporized Bliss’s head, leaving a decapitated corpse. Everyone nearby was sprayed with bits of flesh and blood, and Emily’s screaming soon filled the room. Then a chime sounded. [color=magenta]“A body has been discovered. The patients have a limited time to collect evidence before being called into the court of carnage. Do your best everyone!” [/color] Emily didn’t stop screaming, even as Justiciar took off their helmet and placed it on the table. It was Noel who they saw underneath.
