True... A blend sounds good. ^_^ Overexposure to James Blunt? Oh my... XD And, Ventratta sounds like he'd make a good addition... ^_^ I gotta say, I'm all for the comedy, but I'd LOVE to add some real horror bits. With overblown suspense and stuff. *Possibly should not have watched the Da Vinci Code* THE PENTAGRAMS! THE FIBONNACHI! THE OVEREXPLAINATION OF EVERYTHING! As much fun as that may be, I'd much prefer to stay away from the blood, saliva, and spinal fluids of the other murder mystery. Suspense is fun. Cracked skulls are not. *shrugs* It's better if it's not all comedy, though... it is a murder mystery, after all. And now, for my excessively long description of Sev (itemized lists and works cited page are still being printed): Sev's personality- Snarky, sarcastic phoenix who loves to complain. The only one he really listens to is Ikkin, and while he may grumble about the people he has to ressurrect, he never really objects to doing it- it's more of a "this AGAIN?  " thing. He's fairly irritable as a rule, and isn't afraid to blast people who annoy him with fire... though, he doesn't mind setting things right if Ikkin asks. He's a bit of a pyromaniac. The bond - Ikkin and Sev are tied together by a soul-bond, which is the reason why Ikkin alone can summon and control Sev (in most cases). Sev himself is not really a living being- he is a construct of the pure cyberspace around the edges of the NTWF, which tends to form itself into different creatures and objects based on the thoughts and memories of the forumers who live there. Basically, it's like the Underdeep, except that it is less likely to draw out fears in order to create them, and more likely to create strange and fantastic buildings and creatures out of things that once existed in the forum, but no longer do, memories and dreams of forumers, etc. Being one of these constructs, however, Sev is not truly immortal- if he is killed, he will ressurect as a phoenix does, but he'll be 'reset,' remembering nothing, not necessarily keeping the same personality, etc. Sev's status as a 'real creature' can only be given by being known to the forumers... which caused him to make himself known, and allowed Ikkin to find him. If he wasn't known, he could easily fade away like the other constructs, and he knows enough to want to avoid that. This is part of the reason that he agreed to bond himself to Ikkin - if he is bonded to Ikkin, a person who actually exists, the world is forced to accept his existance along with hers... and, thus, he is a real phoenix in all senses. The bond between the two is best understood as a soul bond, because the core of Sev's being (the part that resets itself if he dies) might as well be the same as a soul. Sev bound himself to Ikkin by putting part of his soul in her (don't worry, he didn't have to kill anyone to do it j;) ), which anchors him down, and prevents the 'resetting' that he'd have to face otherwise. It also makes the two closer in other ways, giving both a better understanding and respect of each other, forcing Sev to keep Ikkin alive no matter what, and allowing Ikkin to call Sev whenever she needs him. So, if Sev starts disobeying Ikkin, it would have interesting implications- Sev's soul would be in conflict with itself (since part of it is with Ikkin), and Ikkin would have a part of disobedient phoenix in her... which could easily have the consequence that both Sev and Ikkin become unstable and lash out much more easily. Also, since Sev's soul is tied to Ikkin's, it could start pulling at hers, which would further mess her up. Of course, in normal circumstances, neither of them would want this, and would try to avoid it by any means possible... though, outside factors could interfere, of course. |

[glow=red,2,300]I'll consider. ^_^ It does sound good. Also, I don't want to summon the Meepits because I don't want to endanger thier lives? I know Ventratta is the best fighter I have, a completely ruthless opponent. I know he can take care of himself, so I don't worry about him. ... Dude, it would be so funny if Ventratta was the murderer. XD [/glow] If Ventratta does indeed attempt to kill Stal, it will be an awesome red herringo!  Soooo... Sev gets ill... and... How does this affect Stal again? Rider- if your Meepits besides Ventratta went on vacation, and there was an earthquake that traps us all... how would the Meepits get in? j;) As for how the illness effects Stal - maybe he should be sick with it, too, which is the straw that breaks the camel's back, and sets off the whole 'kill everyone' thing? But, yeah... Ventratta trying to kill Stal is an awesome red herring. ^_^ |

Kyubi's magic traps the NTWF and puts Sev out of action so Stal doesn't have to deal with his victims coming back from the dead. (Speak of the who, how does everyone feel about having the supernatural factor plugged in there? Just a touch, I promise I won't overdo it!)[/glow] |

The fact that you couldn't get Meepits through the barrier in Zylaa's murder mystery confused me... |

XD[/glow] Rider can't call her Meepits because she's sick with the same thing Sev's sick with. It mucks with your magical abilities. On the same thought, my sneaking ability could backfire too, because people would notice me even though I'm in "stealth" mode. I love made up illnesses, you can force them to fill your plot holes. *cough* Eh, it's an idea anyways. |

So let me see if I have this straight... The plot seems to have warped and changed a lot in three pages and I'm not sure I have it all right.
1) Stal is the killer. Either he snaps, isn't himself due to some disease, or is being controlled by another entity.
2a)Sev is helping Stal. Either because he's sick, or because he just likes helping kill people.
2b) Sev isn't helping anyone. Either because he's sick and can't rez people, or because he's just not answering to Ikkin at the moment.
3)Kyubi is helping Stal. Um, I really don't know much about how Kyubi works - other than he's supposed to be relatively evil. (I guess this is what I get for not spending a lot of time in the Tabloids)
.....
Just how many people are doing the killing here?

Guys, I just want to apologize for my absence these past few days. My sister is in town from Cincinnati and we've had family over and things like that. I'll try to catch up tonight or tomorrow, but if someone could summarize everything for me in a PM...

If you're a victim, make sure it's an overly elaborate death. =D I think, upon learning what Kyubi has forced me into, I will throw myself off a cliff, or run into my own sword or something... |

Stalor Moon and the murderer engage in highly magical deadly combat? *Imagines Stalor moon going super saiyan* *Scarred for life* |

I like the Ventratta idea. Maybe after a few attempts to try communicate with the mods, he inexplicably disappears? A few episodes later, he could be found pinned to the wall or something XD I dunno, I think Stal would take great malice in killing Ventratta. Yes! THe wall! Pin him to the wall! *maniacal laughter* I'm serious. You know how you pin down lab rats? You kind of crucify them - nails through all four paws so that the belly's exposed. That's a thought - a dissected Ventratta. By the way, I'm hoping for a real mod to be the murderer. People who don't frequent the Splatterboard much will be fairly vague about Sev. It'll be better to make it someone who people actually know. |

I actually like the idea of Kyubi being the murderer... It wouldn't be that hard to explain for those who don't know about the whole set up there (I figured it out just from stuff on the MS)
Also it would add to the confusion, because during the day, no one would honestly know who the killer was. (Going from the whole sleepwalking thing...)
