June 17th, 1999 - Evening
[Well, that happened.
As promised, Alice took Nui out tonight - specifically, to a nice restaurant in the next town over. If nothing else, it was nice to get out of Izamizuki for a while. She could almost forget about the increasingly frightening occurrences of the past week.
Unfortunately, she was pretty much too nervous around Nui to get any sort of functional conversation in edgewise. Way too much awkward stammering, uncomfortable silences, and failing to think of anything interesting to say to do anything as complicated as acting like herself.
Regardless, the night is coming to an end now. The path back to Nui's home is lit warmly by the setting sun, village on one side, woods on the other. Alice walks in silence for a while before speaking up suddenly.]
L-Listen, I'm sorry I was such a mess tonight. It's just, I've never been on any sort of date before, and...

Jeez, maybe you are cursed. If preserving the truth means killing the people you call your friends, they really oughta lock you up in the loony bin!
[ She does start retreating backwards, to the glow of the Harime house's porchlight. It's--what, 40 feet? If she could just get her keys out, and then run in, it might be easier, her aunt would definitely be home by now. And she could always try fighting with her keys as a dagger, but that would be getting much too close to that log he's got. ]

[He lunges at her, swinging the makeshift club.]

One shot. She'd have one shot, here, to throw him off of her track and buy herself a few feet to the house. Without even fully processing it, Nui slips the keys through her fingers, pointed out like a particularly crude brass knuckle.
The second he gets within swinging range, she moves in for a swing, aiming for his face. ]
no subject
The bad news? He seems to be almost possessed, barely acknowledging the injury as he brings the club down on her.]
no subject
well
isn't that funny
she doesn't even get the time to see her key tactic worked before she hears the sickening crack of the club connecting with her skull
she crumples to the ground almost instantly, her vision fading blacker and blacker by the second
ah. was she.....going to die? was the really going to die? it wasn't fair, it wasn't fair--
goodnight, Alice. ]

[He pants over the body, the club in his hands...
and for a brief moment, has a moment of lucidity
he
did this]
What... But it was for the better good... right...? What have I...
no subject
Embedded a couple inches into him is a pair of fabric scissors, gripped tightly in the hands of Alice Margatroid. Her head is screaming at her to stop moving, but she'll deal with the pain a little longer.]
no subject
along with the other wounds
everything hurts
His head turns, slowly, making out his attacker.]
Y...you're...
no subject
[She's seeing red. Nui's dead. Minako's dead. Souji's dead. She has to do something.
The second stab is aimed at his neck.]
no subject
so much blood, so much pain
he can't think that's all he's good at why can't he think
why is everything getting
cold
why does he have... to... die... for this stupid... g...a...m...e...
Blood spurting from the wound, he slumps to the ground, the life flowing out of him. Shigetsuna has finally claimed her sacrifice.]
no subject
With that, Alice's strength leaves her. She drops to her knees, then collapses on top of Nui's body, crying.]
