[02] || [Ghoul Powder] || [Open/Closed]

[how_wicked_ruler]

Characters: Kidou, Mami (BoF), Ryuunosuke, Reno [AU], Momotaros, David Lalonde [AU], Kairi [AU], Elena, Allen [AU] and YOU.
Setting: Cafeteria as a start, then around the floors.
Format: Action
Summary: Lezard picked at random a few test subjects, it's to say the nine characters mentioned above. Only to see if his potion that transforms people into demons works in the tower. And it does work! Party time? You can meet them while they are under the potion's effect.
Warnings: Good people growing stronger, getting more resistant and going totally mad/feral. Or even worse, turning into full-fledged blood-thirsty demoniac creatures. Lots of pain before, during and after the transformation. Deadly random encounters if you happen to meet them. Heart-wrenching mercy kills. Aside from that? Nothing really.


OOC Information
Lezard will barely appear in this log, only to provide his potion to the victims. He will disappear immediately afterward and his involvement in this horror will remain secret. The nine characters are going to drink Ghoul Powder; a special potion used by Necromancers. It drives those who drink it crazy and turn them into either a Demon or an Undead. There are no known cure to Ghoul Powder, hence the only way for characters to be released from the potion's effect is for them to die. Because it's mostly a pre-plotted log, the threads where the characters are meant to die will be closed; but the threads where you can have a random encounter with the demon-ified / undead-ified characters will be open.

Characters under Ghoul Powder's effect are much stronger than usual, much more resistant and merciless for the most part. The threads where they transform, the players will chose whether to keep them open or closed.

There are two kinds of transformation that will happen in this log, the Demon Transformation and the Undead Transformation as mentioned before. Demon Transformation is the worse by far as the characters not only go mad but turns intoa true, complete demons as shown here. Undead Transformation has the same effect, but the characters can keep their normal form as shown here.

How it works: Basically, right after drinking it the characters will feel very uncomfortable and painful for both version of the potion. The pain will keep growing for a couple minutes inside of them, up to the point it is unbearable. They can also feel like something demonic/evil is growing inside of them and taking over, so to say. The pain remains but becomes barely noticeable once the potion takes full effects, since the characters go mad/feral/etc. They become a lot stronger and more resistant to attacks. And of course, they attack whoever they happen to see.

A few seconds before dying, they may regain their sanity and/or human appearance. Like, to say thank you to the one(s) who killed them.

[If the blow had been swung with human strength, she would have deflected it easily. As it was, it landed with far more force than she could have imagined. This wouldn't be the first time she's broken a bone in a fight. The pain radiating from her forearm indicates that this is exactly what has happened. She doesn't have time to fuss over it. The killing intent flowing out of the monster tells her that much. Almost faster than the eye can follow, she's flying through the air, aiming a kick at the side of Momo's head with all of her formidable strength.]

[alwaysataclimax]

[There's a loud thud that comes with the impact of her foot. Momotaros wobbles, and stumbles to the side. He takes a moment to recover, pushing his head back into place. He doesn't seem pained, or deterred in the least. He raises the sword again, this time with a more proper form as he charges, and swings horizontally toward Sakura's torso.]

[ogrewhelming]

[She goes low, losing a great deal of hair and gaining a nasty slice across the back of her scalp. It's worth it; she's inside his guard now. Her best chance of survival is getting that sword away from him. There's not many proper armlocks she can use like this, and none she can use with one of her own arms half-useless. She's got one that still works, and what she can do with that arm is make a grab for Momo's wrist and then twist. If she's fast enough, and if his joints are all similar to that of a regular human, she stands a good chance of inflicting a good deal of pain at best and ruining everything from the elbow down at worst.]

[alwaysataclimax]

[Well, everything elbow-down is ruined - The arm shears off, and collapses into a pile of sand around them, along with the sword. He doesn't sound pained, but he does make a noise of frustration, and pushes against her with a feral snarl.]

[ogrewhelming]

[That was pretty much the last thing Sakura was expecting. Did his arm just. How. She staggers back under his counter.]

What... what are you?

[alwaysataclimax]

Ima...gin...!

[Given his lack of words so far, it's odd that he answered, but seems that not even the Ghoul Powder can suppress something tied to his hatred of being mistaken for a demon.

Momo pushes more, and draws back his remaining hand for a heavy punch, though his movements are quite obvious.]

[ogrewhelming]

Imagin... I shall remember that!

[Sakura strikes out at his shoulder with her own good hand. At such a short distance, it's impossible to put her full power into the strike, but it will land solidly, and more importantly, fast.]

[alwaysataclimax]

[The strike makes Momotaros stumble a bit, though he recovers well enough. He makes a frustrated, snarling noise and throws his head back.

And then jerks it forward for a headbutt. Time to put these stupid horns to good use.]

[ogrewhelming]

[It's a clean hit. Sakura's dazed and bleeding from the sides of her head. If his horns were set any closer together, she'd be a lot worse off, and as it is, she's not doing well at all. Between this and the sword slice earlier, she's losing blood fast. She has to end it as quickly as possible.

Against an armored foe... Well. Her blows seem to be getting through, even so. She lets herself sink down slightly, then lashes out at his throat with a direct punch, twisting her fist in mid-air for the extra force.]

[alwaysataclimax]

[Momotaros staggers back from the blow, then falls back with a growl and a groan. He's dazed a bit - not down for good, but he's slow in getting up. He's making an attempt to roll over to push up with his good hand, and his breathing is ragged from Sakura's punch.]
