night four; hunter kill

[gamehead]

[Around half an hour after the hunters have chosen their kill, a box will appear on the ground filled with an array of butcher's instruments. Kanaya Maryam also appears, unconscious, with her wrists bound behind her back. Critter giggles to itself.]

Remember, the cause of death is blood loss. No cheating, everybody!

[There is a sudden, horrible gulping noise as she tries to form words that aren't there. All she can feel are fangs in her mouth, striking her lips and gums in desperate attempts to gain purchase, these comparatively tiny nicks distracting from the hideous pain in her vocal cords that just aren't doing what she tells them to, for the first time in her undeath unable to scream, unable to hiss, unable to speak very clearly. She wasted it. She partook too much, in this game. This is the price of her leadership with Nightray, her acquiescence with Babydoll.

Then blood, of course, pouring from the wound. Too much of it, by human eyes, and in accordance with the alien stereotype, instead of the scarlet everyone expects, it's a bright deep jade green. The same she wrote her notes in. Texted her wigglerhood friends using. Wore on some of her clothes. All past tense.

(She could steal his scarf instead of her cape to patch up this wound, if she were lucky this time. But she's not.)

And at some point, longer than one might hope for but not too much so thanks to Bruce's efficiency, the lights go out. Literally. Her skin loses its light entirely and is entirely unglowing gray. Were one to force open the lids of her eyes, which have been fluttering a lot under Bruce's hand but settled closed in death, they would also find a softer yellow-orange shade rather than the bright yellow headlamps she boasted before.

Here, have a picture of her canonical death just for a general idea of how horrible this is.]
