I've murdered half the town.

WHO| Wesker and OTA
WHAT| Wandering/Resting
WHERE| The Haunted Mansion Graveyard
WHEN| The Night of the Cornucopia
WARNINGS/NOTES| It's Wesker. That should be warning enough. Note wise, he'll be making his way to Tomorrowland and his powers soon, so if anybody wants a chat at time when he'll be less likely to kill you, now's your chance.



His ribs were broken.

Using ones own hands to determine which was an inexact science, but if he had to guess, numbers eight and nine - the vertebrochondral, the false - on his left side.

He treated the knowledge clinically as his flesh burned - every breath, each and every step, a heated stab of pain that raced across his chest and back. A message from his body to his mind - we are injured - and nothing more. It would not stop him. He would not dwell. He needed only to find the location of power in this arena - surely there would be one - and he would be back on track. It would all once more be as it should.

In the meantime, it was a mere complication. An extra step. He accepted it as such and deferred to it, as he would any other hurdle they might throw his way.

Lingering in a graveyard, he sheltered beneath the outstretched wing of a faux-concrete angel. His nostrils flared to catch the light breeze as he listened to the night and counted the slow-even beats of his own heart.

Sandy had gathered up her loot and run like the hounds of hell were hot on her heels. She was positive after snatching the bag out from underneath "The Giant Muscle" as she had dubbed him, he would come after her and pound her into a fine red mist.

But for now she seemed to be in the clear. She slowed her pace to a walk passing in front of what appeared to be a graveyard when she felt a familiar stiffness in her joints. Curious she glanced down at her hand and sure enough it was turning a shade of grey. It was completely natural for her to shift it back. But it gave her some comfort to know that at least some things were how they were supposed to be.

And more importantly, it gave her an idea. She turned her gaze to the graveyard and slowed her pace examining it slowly. She had yet to see the man by the angel but she would soon enough with how she was looking around.

"Ack!" Sandy let out a yelp and her entire body, hair to toes turned to solid stone as she stumbled away from the wrought iron fence that separated the path from the graveyard.

"Don't DO that!" She shouted in surprise feeling her heart race a mile a minute.

She scowled in a pouty sort of way, "Alright...you've got a point." Much as she hated to admit it.

She kept her distance though, she'd seen clips of him from the last arena and knew above all he was dangerous. A killer. But there was enough distance between them she could outpace him if he came after her.

...she hoped.

"So were you just lurking back there hoping to scare someone?" She called tightening the strap on her bag securing it.

Sandy frowned right back. "Yeah well some people have weird hobbies. Like forcing random people to fight to the death for a TV Show." She shot back keeping her eyes locked on him. She didn't want to risk looking away and find herself a victim in the first week. Not after she had been so careful last time.

That eye trick was making her skin crawl and she unconsciously gripped at the bar of the fence and her skin shifted to pale grey once again.

"So you're another one who's totally on board with this stupid game?"

She wasn't going to be winning any support from sponsors with talk like that, in fact she wondered how much of what she said was edited out but she was having a hard time "playing the game" Even after watching Momoko rise victorious with that attitude.

That visibly depressed the girl who's shoulders slumped a little in response. "Yeah that seems to be the attitude of winners. But it still feels wrong to me. Maybe it's just because none of us signed up for it." After all at this point who was she to say people couldn't wail on each other if they both agreed to it?

"How many of these have you done?"

It was what Sandy had been afraid of. Trapped in an eternal loop of death and pain.

"How? I mean...I'm no threat but you're at least scary. And the girl who won last time was like...a princess or whatever." It baffled her enough that she was willing to ignore her instincts telling her to run.

Standing up straight again Sandy adjusted the straps on her back so they were secure. "Were the other deaths all miscalculations too?" If anything she could say that her death had started as a miscalculation. Falling into the pit was just a dumb move.

The hesitation did not go unnoticed to the perceptive child but she didn't mention it. It wasn't unreasonable to believe that he had just had a run of bad luck.

"Do you think maybe the people in charge rigged it so you couldn't win?" She had heard how much control they had over the environment.
justoutrunyou: (headscratcher)

She wished she had that confidence.

"So what happens once someone's out of the game? Like that Momoko girl? Do they just send us home? Or do we have to live here?"

Her face burned with embarrassment at the fact that she hadn't found out more in her attempts to research the games.

"So we're screwed. One way or another so long as those guys are in charge." Same crap, different world.

Her heart sank at his suggestion, but in a way it was like a weight off her chest.

"Well..." She reasoned with a sigh, "It's not like my world was that great to start with. Might as well get used to how crappy this one is." It was depressing, but it's what everyone successful seemed to be telling her.

"Thanks...and also for not like, killing me yet." It seemed like something worth mentioning. Because they both knew he could.
