This is the point where Satsujin moves... And then, suddenly, the Emerald Thief Leader becomes aware of someone standing on his head. Blood drips down from above his vision. He visibly tenses a little and looks up... Satsujin stares down at him. Her mask has been removed. She's got one hell of a killer grin, and both of her eyes have narrowed with a dangerous level of bloodlust and concentration.

"...Mine... mine mine mine..."

She then proceeds to reach up and gently push the view away, before crouching down and... well, whatever's happening, you don't get to see it. But the sound of a lot of biting and stabbing and screams of pain can be heard, and there's an alarming amount of blood flying absolutely everywhere. Uh... Well, uh, crap. That ain't gonna be an open-casket funeral.

LYRASCAPE SIMULATOR: SEASON 1 EPISODE 27

>Satsujin, Baron, Urken, Alias: Kill the Leader.

The combined minimum damage is enough to finally take down the leader. Serves them right for denying you their perfect score.

Keiko seems amused by you.

"You guys are brutal, but at least you know how to defend yourselves.

...You know? I really need to get to the bottom of this. Whatever is behind this whole 'Oh, don't go out of our lovely town' situation clearly is something to be dealt with, and considering what you guys just did, I can't think of more capable people then you.

...Okay, well I could probably think of like two, but that's not the point. Point is, I can definitely open that gate for you now."

...Well, isn't she a good plot device?

"I CAN HEAR YOU."

...[small]This was a bad idea.[/small]
Either way, even NPCs can level up, so here! Allocate some points.

[color=#0000FF][color=#FF0000]

[color=#3333CC]Also, if it wasn't obvious, you're close to ending the season. Get everyone back in here for the finale.
You'll probably need it...? Maybe. No, definitely. Bosses and such.

Baron jumps off the tower in a silly fashion. This somehow doesn't hurt him.

Urken also does this. She is cushioned by Barons body. Then puts both 2 points into AGI

Alias tosses her points into STRH, and probably does something else, which I will get to later.

Baron and Alias put points into stats.

...I wait for when you guys want to have Keiko open the gate and advance the story.

"...I shall take this..."

Seeing as the Emerald Thief Leader was the one who died, Satsujin picks up his body, then turns and drags it off as she heads elsewhere. Some time later, she wanders into the Crimson Thief zone, then roughly drops the Emerald Thief Leader's dead body on the floor in view of pretty much every single Crimson Thief in the area. She stares at the Crimson Thieves for a moment or two.

"...He was rude to us..."

She then reaches down for a moment. There's a godawful noise. If the body of the Emerald Thief Leader had any blood left in it, it's not there anymore. Satsujin straightens up and stares at the Crimson Thieves.

"...Look at this body... take a moment to think... then decide... Are you going to be rude to us...?"

"Finally." Stella moves away from the Emerald Tower, and decides to meet up with Keiko at the Town Border. She notices Keiko's apparent interest in the barrier. "Hm? Something wrong with the gate? Or are you just considering if you should remove it...?" She opts to stay with Keiko for a moment, and suggests that she invests points into her Green tree. Death is a terrible thing, after all. Stella meanwhile, tosses her level points into SPEC.

Stella talks with Keiko.
Keiko Yukimura: "No, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that... we don't know what's beyond. The last thing we want is to head into this unprepared, so I'm waiting until most of you are. You guys definitely know what you're doing."

Stella's SPEC increased by 1! Following her advice, Keiko's level points went into Green! Keiko's Max HP and Dodge Chance increased by 1!

Satsujin moves to the Crimson Den... Ozrozius, being a rather squishy mage, follows at a distance.

> Satsujin: Present CORPSE OF EMERALD THIEF LEADER to the CRIMSON THIEF LEADER.

...The Crimson Thief Leader and friends are left speechless. Surely, this one girl couldn't have done their mortal enemy in, but... the blood matches.
Unfortunately, the Crimson Thief Leader is not impressed.

"Do you honestly think this is intimidating?
And, besides that, from my perspective, you and whatever band of "Heroes" you're allied with look like the rude ones to us. Did the Emerald Thieves not actually ally with you on one occasion? Did that same leader not fight you only because they were trying to defend themselves after one of you foolishly toppled half of their building?
Plus, I don't exactly forgive easily for that little murder of 16 of my own troops, especially when you seem a bit over-enthusiastic to stab your knife into something. How can I tell you won't betray us?
And, for that matter...

She brandishes her sword, making sure to put the sharp end as close to your neck as she can. A gate closes behind you, trapping Ozrozius on the outside

"I don't mean to brag, but I'm a bit more lethal then that other one. So please, give me a good reason why I shouldn't just kill you right here, right now.

You're surrounded and cut off from getting support from the others by a gate (even though you guys will break it down), and now you've invoked the rage of the second faction's own leader, who is right next to you. You'd better think of a way out of this situation, and you'd better do it fast.

Satsujin pauses. Her mask stares blankly at the Crimson Thief Leader, still bloodied from the last battle she was in. Then... she giggles, reaching up with one hand and deliberately grabbing hold of the sword blade, letting her hand grip tightly enough that blood starts to flow from her and onto the sword. She's almost certainly doing that just for intimidation purposes. Then, she focuses her attention on the Crimson Thief Leader.

"...I'm the violent member of the group... The rest of us are not so bad... provided they don't have a reason to be bad..."

Then, she... oh lord. She moves forward towards the Crimson Thief Leader, deliberately making sure that the blade goes through her neck in the process, continuing to move until she's practically a hair's breath away from the Crimson Thief Leader's face. Then, she removes the mask, greeting poor CTL with an indescribably unnatural grin. Blood's dripping from her mouth, and her eyes... jeez. Those eyes are not something anyone should have for eyes. To add to that, the sword going through her neck is causing her neck to bleed extremely heavily, to an almost unrealistic degree thanks to all the blood in her. With that... horrific nightmare of an expression, she speaks again.

"...If you were to kill me... I'd just come back after a moment... and you would have given the rest of us... one big reason to be bad... especially me..."

She moves once again. Her body seems to have severely reduced in density, as suddenly, she uses her hand and pushes down on the sword with enough force to tear open a large wound in her chest. Then... then the prior damage all the way up to her neck just fills up with blood until it's not even visible anymore.

"...Remember... the group took out 16 of your troops... with only 3 allies... and since then... we have only become stronger..."

Satsujin glows briefly. Her luck has increased to 8.

"...If you choose to kill me... at least tell me... What do you plan to do... if the entire party starts coming for you... Would you just throw away another 16 troops... watch as the party kills them off too... Would you charge into battle personally... try to take on the same force... that ended the Emerald Thief Leader... Would you abandon your home... run so the party can't catch you... but never be able to settle down... never be able to sleep again... for fear that one of us comes creeping... murders you while you're sleeping...?"

Once again, Satsujin giggles. Now, she puts the mask back on.

"...Killing me would seal your fate... but it isn't too late to avoid it... just take your sword out of my body... then open that gate and get your troops out of the way... and I'll leave you and your troops be... let you get back to your thievery... Without the Emerald Thief Leader... they might not have much time left here... once they're gone... wouldn't it be fun to take over the city...?"

Ozrozius runs back to the Red Alley and uses spooky shadow magic to "persuade" the Crimson Thief to open the Crimson Den gate.

-Season 1, Episode 30-

Satsujin continues her beatdown of the Crimson Thieves... something is going to go wrong, and when it does, she might be "paying" a lot worse then just waiting for revival.

Urken moves toward the Red Alley and sits down on an old crate. Miraculously, it doesn't comedically break. Meanwhile, Ozrozius decides to try and use some magic to convince the one thief outside to open the gate for them... (Rolling 1d20 + Your INT [5])

(12)+5 = 17

...and they succeed! The gate is opened. This is probably a very good thing.

Alias decides to try and rest by sitting on another Titanium Crate. Baron attempts to calculate how much one of them is worth... they're pretty big, so just one of them, assuming it's empty, would probably be about 6,000 Coins or so.

Satsujin then invests all 6 of her Level Points into LUCK, rising it to 8, before...

>Satsujin: Impale yourself on the sword.

You attack yourself with her own blade...

(Critical Roll: 100)

Oh, fQUACK.

(Critical Power: 6) (x2!)

[big]OH, FQUACK, dude.[/big]

...You take 26 damage and die on the spot.

"Honey, I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation, especially when you just did yourself in there.
You do know what a thief's job is, right? And wouldn't it be a real shame if something were to... happen to that little butter knife of yours..."

Satsujin gets back up and suddenly feels a lack of knife in her hand...
...You suddenly feel intensive amounts of anger. This is not going to be easy.

Elsewhere, the wind howls... something secret has appeared, but where could it be?

Satsujin died. She gets back up. There's a pause. Her empty hand twitches. She soon clicks as to what happened. To say she is not pleased is a massive understatement. Now, when she looks at the Crimson Thief Leader, somehow ignoring whatever might be in the way to do so, she doesn't speak. She doesn't even so much as breathe. But the leader, and her alone, can hear this really unusual sound. Or, series of sounds, rather. It goes something like this..

...There also seems to be something very drastically different about the way she looks. Her original setup seems to have been stashed away in the inventory now, labelled with her name. And her blood. Of course. Thankfully, she's found something else to be. Something more... appropriate. She's not wearing her mask, though.
