Soul Stealer: Bobbo

[Prince Toad]

Yeah.

You use Evaluate, focusing your energy on the two nearby people.

For the man: you sense that he is frail and intelligent. His HP and MP are high (this part means relative to their full status, not like they have a lot of HP or MP. If they did, that'd be covered in the first sentence.) You gauge his HP at roughly 50. (Of course, your character does it in terms that make sense in a world. But it's numerical here.)

For the woman: you sense that she is willful. Her HP and MP are high. You gauge her HP at roughly 50.

You have 15 MP now. Do what?

[Parrakarry]

Well, they're working together, so I probably couldn't beat them both.

So I'll just walk in the direction I saw someone going. Someone who went that way alone.

[Prince Toad]

Of the people that started surrounding you, everyone (except you) has either paired up or been killed. The teenager was killed by the young man you killed yourself; two of the girls killed one young man and left, and are now out of sight; a girl and a guy have paired up, killed an older man, and are now standing near you. You can look in Onus and Kagami's topic for what's happening right now, as well as the current situation; the girls went into the hills, if you want to know. You can say something to any of the three others nearby, or just leave.

[Parrakarry]

OK. Here's the deal:

I'm gonna waltz over to this half-dead crippled SOB and kill him. If either Marth or KB get in my way, I'll hit them with a Raging Strike and keep heading towards this guy. If I get to him without interruption, and manage to kill him easily enough, I'll steal his soul. If not, then I'll take it from there.

[Prince Toad]

You walk over to them. The woman finishes off the old man, though you didn't hear the expected thwack. You charge at the woman, but the man steps in to intercept you.

BATTLE

The young man hits you with his stick.

Your turn.

[Parrakarry]

Raging Strike on him.

[Prince Toad]

You roar and strike at him with all your power. He goes down in one shot-- you've never felt so strong...

The girl suddenly exclaims, "Yes!" You are sort of confused by this, but you are going to attack her anyway. However, she disappears out of existence, as well as the young man's body. A shifting pool of some kind of gray smoky substance remains where the body had been. It begins to rise into the air. Except for that, you are alone.

What do you want to do?

[Parrakarry]

I'll walk up to the smoky substance and examine it.

(I just KNEW that was a god of some sort. I KNEW it.)

[Prince Toad]

It has the texture of thick smoke, and leaves your fingers feeling oily and unpleasant. It will be gone in a mere ten seconds, you guess. Still nobody else in sight.

Do what?

[Parrakarry]

Well, assuming it's the soul that Onus lost, I'll try to steal it... somehow... maybe with my ring.

[Prince Toad]

You shove your ring into the middle. As you hoped, the substance (including what you thought had dissolved into the air) comes rushing in.

You have time for one rational thought-- That didn't do very much-- before the blood starts.

Blood everywhere. You feel your eyes bleeding, your mouth bleeding, your nose bleeding, your face is on fire, your blood is on fire. You look at your hands with your bleeding eyes and you see that sores have opened, bleeding sores, blood, blood everywhere. The rest of your body is just a huge open sore. Oh Gods...

but it didn't do very much

The only way out is to kill. Kill, yes, kill... the blood of others...

OOC: Remember what happens when you get a lot of souls.

[Parrakarry]

Once I get over the shock of having the soul, will I get less insane? Or will I stay this insane?

[Prince Toad]

You get less insane over time as the energy from the soul is converted into nutrition. But it's a slow process. The quickest way is to release the soul, but you can wait it out. However, as the energy becomes sustenance you lose some of the power you got from the soul, so you can't just sit around and kill someone every so often, slowly getting uber-powerful.

[Parrakarry]

So basically, I can wait a while and lose the power, or I can just lose the power now? I'll just lose it now.

[Prince Toad]

You lose a lot less power if you wait. You lose all of the power and all of the "points" if you release the soul.

[Parrakarry]

So, how long would I have to wait?

[Prince Toad]

Probably a day.

[Parrakarry]

OK. I'll do that then, I guess.

[Prince Toad]

So wait, you're just sitting around for a day?

[Parrakarry]

Yeah.
