You are a Souvlaki, a parasitic alien race with the ability to infest a host, control their body, and even alter their memories and state of consciousness. An accident has trapped you on this ship...but also provided you with a source of powerful hosts should you have the cunning and skill to capture it for your own. Unfortunately, the AI and uninfected will be none too pleased should they learn of your presence, so for now you need to lay low and play along with the game. To avoid risk of detection, you will remain in a dormant state and allow your host full control at all times save for one night of the week, where you will meet with your fellow Souvlaki to discuss your plans. Tonight is that night. Your host remains fast asleep as you bypass this ship's primitive technology, hiding your movements from the AI as you head to the viewing port, locking the door behind you. souvlaki rulebook souvlaki HANBOO taken info cards

[Brief change of plans tonight. While you still meet in the viewing port, you all have a sudden telepathic urge to head to the arrival room where the bodies of Niles and Maria Hill are now laying in their pods. Their eyes flicker when they see you, though their bodies stay stiff and unmoving - it seems they're still awake.

What now?]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

What a... cruel punishment. To be alive and awake, but unable to do anything. Poor things.

[he sounds like he definitely means it. (no)]

[jackhole]

[ finally, he can actually do something. in fact, there's a bright smile on rhys' face as he enters the room and it all sort of clicks for him.

this is nice. ]

I wish there were four.

[ why does that sound so creepy coming from him? ]

[brooches]

Don't get greedy! There's 8 limbs among them, so that's plenty to go around.

[ She got a thing for limbs, I guess? ]

[jackhole]

[ yeah, he knows. ]

But having to share them with you? Awful.

[brooches]

You should be flattered. I'll be there to pick up where you slack off.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

So you're volunteering to work together? Great. "Dave" and I will take the other one, then.

[:)]

[brooches]

What? No!

[ Protesting does nothing. Huffy and completely crossing of the arms here. ]

I thought the term was sly as a fox, not cat?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

I'm sure I don't know what you mean, my dear. [a beat, and then:] It sounds a lot like you're refusing an order, though.

[jackhole]

[ OHHHH SNAP ]

[brooches]

[ ELBOW TO GUT @ EXTRA TERRHYSTRIAL? ]

S-Sorry! I'll deal with him if it so pleases you.

[ Loyalty eyes @ Meowstermind ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[grins as he grabs her hand and kisses it like in the icon]

Don't worry. I know you would never.

[or else :)]

[parodeity]

Always happy to help out, man.

[ sorry niles and maria ]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

And help we will. We wouldn't want anyone else to end up like these poor souls, would we?

[he touches the glass on Niles's pod lightly, watching his eyes move with it. grins]

This should be deterrent enough.

[parodeity]

Sure you don't want to scrawl "Vote" in their blood? Though obvs I don't mind people not votin' if it means we get to play a little bit.

[ He casually leans against Niles' pod, grinning down at the guy. ]

Sooooo helpful of computer chick to make it so they can't do a thing, though it does take away a little bit of the fun. We'll have to make the scream track in our heads.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

We could always bring a tablet next time. Those scream nicely, don't they?

[he thought that was hilarious tbh. anyway. he's just going to gently, lovingly, transform his host body's arm into an abomination and SMASH THAT FUCKING GLASS]

messin' up bodies

[brooches]

Let's get this over with.

[ Spoken to all of them, but particularly Rhys. As ambitious as she is, she would much rather avoid any of those midnight roamers. Hancock, especially. ]

I want to make it as messed up as possible. They need a little spook.

[jackhole]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[ he's going to take a step forward and move towards maria's pod. he'll open it in a swift move before looking her up and down with a frown. ]

She seems pretty... rigid, right? Or maybe that's the paralysis.

[ he glances over at dave and adrien before back to liz. ]

Let's do this properly, no mistakes. Aaaand I guess we can make it a little showy, right?

[ which means yes, alien rhys is now transforming fully into this freaking thing except --

... he's still stuck with rhys' robot arm. ]

Oh, for crying out loud! It doesn't come off!

[brooches]

[ Totally not snickering between her fingers - which begin to elongate and rip from her flesh. The scythe-like claws hide her vision and she's careful not to cut her own damn nose off. ]

Whatever they've done to them, it helps us out. It's cute that they punish the naughty children.

[ It takes a little bit for her to get use to it, weighing her arm out again and giving a few false swipes at the opened glass pod door. It leaves a weak mark on the steel, right at where the glass meets the metal. ]

Then use your other arm. No need to be delicate about it. Sloppy, in this case, can be useful.

[ She takes the initiative to start pulling Maria out, tugging as her eyes dart back and forth. ]

I think they're scared now, heh.

[jackhole]

Wouldn't you be?

[ but since elizabeth is taking maria's body, rhys will take care of the door. he starts tugging with his clawed hand at the door before taking a glance over to where rhys' pod was before and oh. huh. the robot arm does have some use.

with a firm grip to the door with the robot arm, rhys gives a jerk and rips the door clean off its hinges. he'll bend the door in half afterwards before tossing the piece of scrap to the side like used tissue. that should scare some people, huh?

when he looks up, he spots adrien and dave taking their body to the viewport and he seems to realize exactly what's happening there. ]

After our wise and gracious leader then.

[ but first he'll just reach over and take maria's body from elizabeth because he's got an idea. first, he'll slit maria's throat with a claw before grabbing her by the torso and dropping her to the ground, wound to the floor so the trail of her blood leads to the viewport as he walks, dragging her body by the ankle. ]

Come onnnn, Elizabeth.

[brooches]

[ It wasn't a morbid scene to her - the grace in which Rhys slits Maria's throat was actually... well, beautiful. The rush of red spurts out suddenly, coating down her neckline and chest. It dribbles once the puddle begins to form. Elizabeth is notably going to let her eyes linger on the bloody trail, licking her lips a little bit in approval. ]

Not bad. Impressed. Hope you don't think you'll get all the fun.

[ She does have to really rib him on this, walking side him with her clawed grip dangling downward. ]

Stop rushing! You're the ony hauling the body.

[jackhole]

I want to get to the good part. The part where we chop her into itty bitty pieces and throw her around like confetti? You know, your favorite part.

[ he's doing this for you, liz!!! so, he rolls his eyes and keeps dragging maria to the viewport, glancing over at adrien and dave's party and heading to the other side to get to work. he'll even, with one lazy jerk of his hand, toss the body across towards that side of the room, blood sprays everywhere -- the windows, chairs, etc -- and he just seems kind of amused. ]

Fetch.

[brooches]

You know me so well!

[ There's a spunk in her voice, and she totally appreciates it. The alien-girl thing can be a total darling when she gets her way. He does the heavy lifting and she's watching the scene play out: the sudden splash of blood doesn't indicate anything but a toss. The splatter painting such a lovely shade. She's going to skip over and in one foul swoop, slice every single one of Maria's fingers off. The bones make a sickening noise as they fly off into the distance, under furniture and against the wall. ]

Want the big bits or the little bits?

[ Totally could go for chopping limbs or chopping / breaking fingers. ]

[jackhole]

[ this is an expression that just says "yes, i do" but instead he'll just snort and follow after her lazily. he raises an eyebrow as the fingers go flying but alright then, sure. ]

How about...

[ and when he finally gets to the corpse, what is he going to do? well, first he's going to straight up fucking behead her and toss the head behind him with the robot hand. you know, it is handy not having a claw for once. after that's out of the way, he lifts his giant claw to... in one quick move...

completely chop the rest of maria's body straight in half down her middle. he'll take the right side. ]

I've always wanted to bisect someone. Enjoy yourself, Lizzie.

[brooches]

[ It's sad that the most they get along is when they're doing this?? What the fuck, aliens. Whatever.

Elizabeth takes a step back, barely missing the inevitable splatter that follows his rough, harsh beheading. She'll golfclap, giving a cheerful encouragement. ]

A solid 10/10! Clean as your shave job, Rhys.

[ She drives the banter forward as he absolutely destroys the body, leaving it just as sad and pathetic as the beheading. Elizabeth isn't shy, grabbing at the wrist until a snap is heard, limply ensuring the cut jaggard and deep. Basically claw deep with cutting her wrist clear off. ]

Next time, let's leave the head for last. Imagine how cute their eyes would look swelling with tears! Y'know, if they're able to cry.
