Night 6.
It is the end of the 5th day on this hellhole, and once again, the newly acquired population of this amalgamation of universes has grouped together at the usual lynching spot. Most are confident in their votes, grinning and smirking to themselves and to their short-time allies. Few are nervous, shaking legs, trembling lips.
Tiananmen Square is silent for a moment, the moment when Gabriel finishes counting the votes. He ominously looks up and his mouth moves.
“Oh boy. This is a special one. I wanna do this right.” He moves towards Loki as whispers something in his ear.
“Heh,” grins Loki. “Special indeed.”
Gabriel flies up and chooses several big, rough rocks through the patchwork field. He once again summons his Axe, still hot from the previous battle, and carves all the rocks into blocks of approximately the same size. He then throws them on the ground, forming a squared-shaped stage.
Without warning, Loki then flies to the crowd and swipes
imperfectluck – in a flash of light, they are standing in both sides of the field. Imperfectluck is not stunned, or even scared, just calm and collected. A look of realization takes over his face.
“I knew this was coming. I will not run away – my honor and my pride won’t let me do that.” While talking, he positions his body in a fighting stance manner. “I am very thankful that you are giving me a chance to fight by employing the rules used back in my world.”
A storm brews up in the sky.
“Let’s see if you’re still thankful after this ends” speaks Gabriel. He clears his throat, and his voice suddenly booms over the land, changed. It is deeper and grittier – “Is this good enough? Alright…
FIGHT!”
Imperfectluck promptly charges against Loki, his arms stretched, his determination roaring. Loki is hit by the attack, but swiftly grabs IPL and smashes him to the floor. A down IPL quickly recovers and delivers a painful uppercut, much to Loki’s surprise, who falls a few meters short of his opponent.
“This is dull.” Loki sighs while getting up. “Do you know how I won most of my MK games during my whole life?”
Suddenly, Loki advances, jumping over IPL – he tries to turn around, but it’s too late. Loki crouches and low kicks the thunder God to the floor.
“I did this all the time!
Down + back + square, motherfucker.”
“Why must you blabber nonsense during a fight? I don’t need this. It is TIME to end this.” IPL begins glowing, much to everyone’s surprise, and sparking blue lightning everywhere. Loki is forced to step back.
“
I am the God of Storm, Thunder and Lightning! I watch over every realm! I have enough power to defeat all of you!”, IPL shouts while floating, glowing with a lightning blue aura, oozing electricity, pupils retracted, thunderous fury at its prime.
“Oh yeah? Do YOU know who I am? I am your goddamn, one-manned Funerary Agency!” Loki leaps into the air and brutally plunges his sword in IPL’s chest. Fire jetting from the blade, thunder replaced by blood, IPL stands defeated on the floor.
Loki picks up his sword and moves toward Gabriel.
“…I didn’t even get to say ‘
FINISH HIM’. Fucking spoilsport.”
The black clouds in the sky send a lone, last lightning bolt towards IPL, taking his body and leaving his role imprinted in the stone battlestage. The curious folk draw in and read it.

Attention imperfectluck,
You are Raiden.
You have no alliance--you are neutral.
As the God of Thunder, surveyor of all realms, this is not the first time a dispute has erupted over control of the multiverse--however, is IS the first time you are hesitant about your next move.
With no Liu Kang or Shujinko as your champion, you are unsure of the desires of the fighters you see before you, and as such, deem yourself the only one fit to ally yourself with, at the moment.
Watching from afar, each night, you may PM either myself or Doomsday with the message "Night X--shocking user". That night, using your most sacred magic, you will electrocute a user, relinquishing them of control of their own body, forcing them to use their role--should the have one--at random.
If the user does not have a role, you will be notified. If they do have a role, you will not be notified, but will not be told what you have done.
You win if you are alive at the end of the game.
NIGHT 6 HAS FALLEN. THE NIGHT WILL LAST UNTIL 48 HOURS FROM THIS POST, OR UNTIL ALL PM'S ARE SENT TO ME. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
(i'm no strangerdanger, but i hope i made this lynch justice)
