I guess they didn't dig too deep into my history then." Lyzer said cryptically with sly smile across his face. "I do have one more ability besides my speed and my ability to read aura." He then puts up his finger in front of his mouth in the typical "be  silent" manner. Lyzer's body begins to glow a little and he whispers "This should work." His glow begins to brighten and then suddenly engulfs the room in a small flash that immediately dissipates.

Returning to a normal voice Lyzer says "Now that I've done that I should explain that I have control over electricity and that what I have just released is an EMP that should destroy or disable any equipment in the immediate area for a while. My apologies if the wave affected  you but I'd rather keep such an ability on the hush if you know what I mean. Downside to it is that after I use a lot of that energy I can become pretty spent. So I use it in moderation." Looking out the window Lyzer then says "Now that I've gotten rid of any bugs in the room you can speak freely until they come and refix the place."

That's what's bothering me, It didn't feel like I did it. I felt different after I 'woke up'.
I just don't know what happened... It's not like me to just kill somebody...
I like to show mercy or let them slowly suffer and die... I don't kill others without good reason.
Just wish I knew what happened.
*Looking over his shoulder towards Thamir*
You're a soft soul, right? You wouldn't kill anyone without good reason. I can tell, you're so quiet and docile.
*Kyubi then places one paw over the couch and makes himself sit up... Kyubi then asks Thamir:*
What did you see?
*Waiting silently and patiently for his response*

"The hero's hidden blade conveniently comes out after I vomit," Cyrille said with a sarcastic grin. He then proceeded to slide down the wall and sit on the floor beside Lyzer's door, looking up to him and continuing his talk. "It's not as Alexander doesn't fully know what I intend, however it's also not something he'd expect me to do so abruptly." He continued careful sips of his drink, developing the drunkard sway. "He knows that I am up to something, ever since I took a fair amount of information from his hyena tool. But, as I am sure you have taken a noticing, a bit of implication makes him feel as if my intentions are a bit more.... Lewd." Cyrille then laughs for a minute at his ploy, albeit stopping this laugh when he notices Lyzer's serious disposition.

"In continuation;" He shifts a bit and looks to Lyzer more seriously, "I'm going into Alexander's location and fixing something I should have a while ago. Now part of me would ask for help, but it's more cliche and heroic if I go alone. Not to mention stupid and prideful, but it is something that I either succeed and obtain a fair amount of cash and finish my goal, or I die." He chuckles, refilling his empty glass once more and coughing for a second before finishing another sip. "But by doing it alone, I don't have to deal with anyone getting hurt because of my shortcomings, and I don't have to deal with them potentially holding me back."

"I know it's stupid, but I've been at this game for a while, now. Alexander won't back down from a challenge." He sighs and places down his glass, "And it's only fitting that I, the old companion, fulfill the cliche and take him down."

[Magical Machine]

Thamir frowned lightly as he knew that his explanation of what he saw wasn't going to answer much for him. He then said "You're right...I didn't really expect someone like you to kill someone without a second thought." The raptor paused for a moment as he tried to think of what to say before continuing,"What I saw was you fighting the with you're opponent. After some time, you managed to steal his axe from him before just...killing him. You didn't really seem like you were saddened by what you did until a few seconds later, as if you hadn't notice what you did until then. Is that what you meant by "woke up"?"

[lyzer]

Lyzer looks at Cyrille with a bit of apprehension then sighs and says "This all sounds extremely risky but it seems you have this all mapped out in your head... If there is anything I could do to make your life any easier I'm happy to oblige, I could-." In mid sentence he stopped and turned his head toward a seemingly empty wall and states "It seems our time being anonymous is up... The devices are coming back online"

[Tim Siguire]

Yes! Yes, Thamir. That is exactly what I mean! *In a bit of joy, Kyubi looks at Thamir with a facial expression of happy empathy and being understood*
It really wasn't me down there, mentally. You understand now, so do you know what happened?
I think.... I know what happened... I was poisoned, or tricked. Yeah, it was an illusion! A real, bleeding, illusion....
what do you think, Thamir?


*Kyubi stands up looking low towards Thamir, Kyubi has thoughts going through his head*
Ummm, can you carry other furs? I have been wondering that for a while...
and I know we don't talk much, but you have been very helpful and nice in listening...

[Cyril]

"I thank you for preparing in the event of my failure." The jackal picks up his glass; looking to Lyzer once more. "Perhaps I will share with the rest of you some information in the event of my success; my odds are rather well, even if they are aware I'm plotting." With a nod, he then walks off; unsure of whether or not the conversation was totally finished but not fully caring due to his inebriation.

The jackal walks to the island counter rather carelessly; glass and bottle in hand, and carefully drinks another glass of water before he puts down his glass and looks to the other teammates in the room, not yet giving a vocal cue but listening to the best of his ability while drinking his water. He looks at the mostly finished bottle in wry disappointment; then gets something heavy to eat from the fridge.

[Magical Machine]

The raptor stared at Kyubi with a confused expression. The sudden act of violence in the areana confused him too. However, he wasn't convinced that Kyubi did that on purpose. He began to think up of what happened. The majority of people in this little game show had something special about them that made them last the first, so maybe someone messed with Kyubi's mind somehow. This sounded like a good enough reason to Thamir, but he wasn't too sure about. However, he didn't want to leave his friend wondering how he could have felt no pity in killing someone, so he said, "Maybe you were brainwashed..." After that, he shook his head towards his question about carrying others before saying, "I'm not very strong, so I don't think I could carry you without nearly dropping you a few times. Sorry..."

[lyzer]

With the conversation being finished and Cyrille's plan still being shrouded to the watchful eyes of Alexander, Lyzer now anticipating the next challenge turns toward his sharpened blade and picks it up in a slow decisive manner. With most of his anger gone his vision became much more clear and his ability to sense general emotions began to seep back into his sight. After grabbing his sheath and stowing his blade Lyzer walks back out of his room and into the living area.

"If you need me I'll be out back" he says as he pulls the hood over his head allowing his ears to fit through the holes in the fabric. With about 3 blades in tow Lyzer exits the house with the intent to sharpen his skills with them. But in the way out he mentions with a sly grin to Cyrille "Try and keep my hidden blade... Well... hidden, for now."

[Tim Siguire]

*Listening to Thamir, Kyubi asks him one final question*
Oh, well it's ok... i'm not the strongest either. One last thing... Uh, I forgot what I wanted to ask you.
*Heading into the kitchen, Kyubi reaches into the fridge and pulls out a roll of Salami*
So, brainwashed huh?..... *taking a big, angry bite out of the Salami, Kyubi thinks and goes sit by Thamir*
....Hhhhh, hey Thamir, do you... think im your friend?.... and if we are, could I ask of your full name?
*Kyubi not directly facing Thamir but so Thamir is still visible, allowing his breath to point away from Thamir*

[Cyril]

With a shifty look to Lyzer, Cyrille sighed. "A hidden blade is always accounted for.... The timing always matters more than the existence."
After finishing a small meal and a cigarette, a much more sobered Cyrille walked toward Thamir and Kyubi after Thamir's response[I'd still type it, so you can complete the emotional moment ;o].
His left hand held his almost finished cigarette, his right held a small bag with a string shut and a clanking rhythm that matched his balanced steps. "I do hate taking the spotlight, but I'm afraid I'll have to make a break in your emotional play." Standing affront of the pair, the jackal looked down coldly after taking his final drag, making sure to blow the smoke away from the two. "Herbalist," he said, looking to Kyubi once more, "I would assume you know more of magics than I do."
He quickly dropped the clanking bag to the left of Kyubi, containing many dodecahedron shapes; all mainly violet and a small tinge of another color at corners. The violet was to represent memories used or created by Alexander in his control methods; stored into the dice and something Cyrille was aware of. His real question was aimed towards the tinges. [This goes any way Tim chooses to answer, and matters for future plot.]
"But first, I request that you examine these items for a second.... And tell me all you might know about them. It is quite important. Afterwords, I request the strongest poison you have on you. Then, you may continue with you and your companion's...." He looked at Thamir with a slight grin, "Discussion."

[Magical Machine]

"Of course you're a friend to me, even though we hardly know each other." He answered with a light smile on his face. Once Cyrille came over, he decided to listen to him and what he would have to ask from Kyubi. When the items were dropped in front of him, the raptor proceeded to stare at the items for a few seconds, wondering to himself what they were before he looked back at Kyubi and waited for his answer.

[lyzer]

After faintly hearing Cyrille's remark Lyzer chuckled to himself as he walked the out of the housing area into what he established as a training area for himself. After checking the area for anyone that would want to tail him Lyzer took out two of his blades and dual wielded them as he began to work on his swordsmanship. This training, he thought, would certainly take a while. Using this time to think about the next event and to prepare himself mentally for the worst.

[Tim Siguire]

*Stares at the clicking pocket bag Cyrille hands to me*
''That's great Thamir, nice to know you don't hate anyone.''
''I'll get to these with my best results Cyrille, and i'll get you your poisons. Just pick wisely.''


*Kyubi picks up the little bag and takes it into his lab for experiment and analysis*
''Thamir, my name is Kyubi, Silver.''


*The little bag slowly feels heavier and heavier*
''...*Closes door*...ah, why are these ....my arm.. heavy? The corners are really shiny, bright too.
I wonder what it means. I should see if these are dangerous or helpful.''
*Kyubi dumps the items on a table*
''Mm, heh, all Dodecahedrons... ok my subjects, we shall see how many of you live and die!''
''You will all be given one of these... things, and I will observe and record your statuses and conditions accordingly.''
''It is best that you all cooperate or you shall be fed to the Maneater Plant. Any questions?''
*The micro mice just squeak and walk around*


''Now then, I must go conjure some poisons...''
*Giving each mice a die and separate room, Mr. Silver observes them*
Im keeping this dye to see if I can do anything with it....
*The blue and green lights give the dice an eerie glow*


''Powders are mixing, gases are fusing, and liquids are saturating...''
''Ah, a simple numbing agent, stungrass... make that a powder, more lethal when liquid mixes with it.
It absorbs through the skin, affecting the nerves directly, immediately numbing any pain and / or irritations.''

[Cyril]

Cyrille watched the other jackal kick into his gear, shuffling around in his area of study. A small frown fell upon his face as he gave the test subjects the item, as he'd been hoping for a quicker answer than basic statistic. However, guessing with the magical properties, Cyrille didn't believe that death or life would be the outcomes of the mice possessing the items; though he didn't know for sure. He watched as Kyubi mixed like a madman, his eyes rather shady as he eyed the room, and listened to descriptions.
"I need something that will kill, mostly. I guess a fair amount of stun will work for most, but I need something that would kill at least one if I put my blade to them several times." He sighed quietly, looking to Kyubi. "I know your beliefs, however I cannot damage others much enough to kill them without. And I'm going to need to. I also should bring that the quicker it kills, the better.
Not to mention, I'm in a slight of a rush."
