Shin Megami Tensei RPG: Digitized Terror.

[Mute Point]

Without making any comment, Hoshi darted out the door and raced toward the bathroom, hoping that Yui had simply fallen, or some other benign reason for her scream, but she knew deep down that there was going to be more to it than that.

When she arived, she nearly slipped on the growing pool of blood, but managed to keep her balance as she moved to check on her friend. "Yui-chan, are you hurt?" she asked, seemingly unconcerned by the body on the door, but if one looked closely enough, they would see that her hands were shaking as she examined her friend.

[Sacchi]

"What the?" Sacchi said upon hearing the scream, he ran towards the bathroom, as fast as his legs could carry him, as he got there he saw yui lying on the ground he looked to the ground and saw blood, and he looked to the door and saw the body. "What the fuck just happened here?" He said, as he looked into the body, he knew something was terribly wrong, even for a murder, he put his hand on his magnum. Ready to strike at whatever would come. His hands were trembling in fear, he never saw so much blood before, as he continued to stare at the body, he could do nothing but feel the magnum on his pocket and ask himself: Is this really happening?

As much as he wanted to flee to his fantasies and forget about it all, reality was finally getting him back, there was no escape from reality, and he would have to survive it.

OOC: Ayami has gone from Scaredy Cat to Average!

XD

And wow, I just realized it, but a high-school student got their hands on a high caliber gun seemingly out of nowhere. Now, how did THAT happen? o_O

Yui slowly got up with Kou's help, she gripped her hands on his uniform, her eyes trained on the impaled body. She heard Hoshi's voice, seemingly making her finally realize that she wasn't alone. "Ahhh... H-Hoshi-chan!" she said, letting go of Kou to rush her friend, tightly hugging her, "Kyaaa! What's happening?! This can't be! It's a dead person!" she screamed. The background lit up as thunder roared outside; it had begun pouring hard again.

Kaido had followed the others, the sound having made him awfully suspicious. Boldly, the sophomore walked to the front of the grizzly scene, keeping his shoes clear from the pool of blood. His eyes fixed on the second thing that stood out most prominently in that corpse; not the rusted pipe protuding from that torn-open chest, but that bizarre red heart-shaped mask smiling to them that was put on the victim's face. The boy reached with his hand to pull the mask off to reveal the identity of the deceased.

A flash of lightening coincidentially whitened the place, Kaido carefully taking that horrible mask off the killed. What was revealed surprised even Kaido himself. His eyes went wide as the first thunderous roar echoed from outside and a second flash whitened the scene once more.

It was the senior that had been collecting the money earlier.

Approaching the blood stained corridor, Samui's calm attitude broke into pure terror. He didn't want to step into the blood, no matter what - he may have been great at analyzing, but he was never good at proper... scenes like this. He tried to look around for a way to approach, as he stepped around the blood and then made his slow way across. As the thunder crashed, he paused as he too noticed who it was, biting his lip. "That idiot... but this means that..." He trailed off, his legs still quivering as he dared inch any further to inspect. The closest he could get was a few good metres.

[Crimson Fox]

Shirou followed the others towards the scream, unable to escape his concern for his study partner. The dark haired man stood beside the others, his green eyes widening at the sight of the body that was near Yui. It was the fellow senior that he had spat at only hours ago. Shirou felt his body tighten a little, feeling a bit guilty about wishing ill on him. "He...h-he was an asshole, but...f-fuck..."

Ayami reached the sight of the murder with the others and looked in horror at the pale face of the senior's corpse, the young man's blood causing her to quiver. "Poor Senpei..." The red head then took a big breath and told them, "W-We need to stick together and get out of here. There's safety in numbers."

"Yeah, good idea. Last thing we need is another name on the headlines." Shirou didn't feel like standing around this bloodied hallway any longer. Anxiousness coursed through his body with the skinny boy wondering if they were being watched right now by the killer. "Say, does anyone have any idea when this happened? Maybe the killer's gone now."

[Masquerade]

Blood.

The crimson taint that pooled so listlessly on the floor. How great it would be to dip a paintbrush into it and paint a wondrous, yet horrific picture with it. Hakatsu didn't even bother to evade it; he had many shoes to replace the ones he was currently wearing. As he reached the site of the violent murder, he realized why everyone was so freaked out. The sight of the deceased was...gruesome, to say the least. That guy....who was he again? The others seemed to know who he was, but Hakatsu just couldn't quite place him. Oh well. The real questions were who did it and what was up with that mask? Okay. The really real question was who did it. Though the mask was...strange, who put it there aroused a higher interest. Could it possibly have been....?

"Phantom," Hakatsu said aloud solemnly, his icy gaze not once leaving the corpse. "I cannot see how it would be anyone else. He is no myth. He is real." He paused for a second before adding something truly horrifying. "And he could still be here," he concluded without emotion.

[Yoosei]

Once reaching the crime scene, Myojin's face got pale at the horror sight before them. The smell of blood entering her sensitive nose. She felt a knot on her stomach. All she wanted was to get away from there and vomit, say the least. Covering her nose with her hand, she tried to make her way closer to her friends, trying to avoid to step in any bit of blood. "D-Damn"

[Mute Point]

"Shh.. yui-chan, it's okay. No one is going to hurt you.." Hoshi whispered as she held her friend tightly. Even as she tried to comfort yui, her eyes were drawn to the impaled corpse. It hasn't been very long.... there's still enough pressure inside to force blood out.. she thought, surprising herself by not being nearly as rattled by the sight as she would have guessed.

[Shadowknight]

"Okay, that's, not what I was expecting," Hori examined the body from a distance, glancing around the room, "Well, whoever or whatever did this can't have gotten far." He said.

[DragonMasterX]

"And that's our main problem," Kaido added to Hori's remark, turning to the rest of the group as he suspiciously eyed each and every one of them, "Not only that, but there's no guarantee the culprit ever left the scene of the crime," he said, eyeing Yui coldly.

Yui shook even more as her eyes met with Kaido's cold stare, "Wh-what...?" she softly asked.

Kaido put a hand in his pocket and fiddled with his keys as he held the mask in his other hand as he put it up to make an explanation gesture, "There's lots of blood, here, and it's fresh," he narrowed his eyes, "You discovered the body. I find that a little too coincidential."
