[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.

[And knock the wind out it does - as well as a fair bit more sand. Momotaros coughs and wheezes at the impact, taking a moment to fall to one knee, clutching his gut. For the moment, he seems to be disabled, as he's using his sword for a crutch.]

[wipeyourtears]

[This will probably be easier with Momotaros disarmed. Kintaros tries to kick the sword out of Momo's reach; he feels a pang of guilt about it with Momo in such a poor state, but there's no denying that his friend is dangerous.]

Answer me! Have you gone completely mad?

[alwaysataclimax]

[The sword goes flying, clattering across the floor while Momotaros falls to the side with a pained grunt. He tries to catch himself with his hand, but the mess of sand all around causes him to slip, winding up on his side. He snarls amid his pained breaths, and glares up at Kintaros. Sure, he's been mad at the bear before - but this look lacks something...]

Nrrrhhggghhhrrr...

[wipeyourtears]

…Momonoji…? [There's something amiss besides Momo's strange behaviour; Kintaros can feel it. It makes his fur stand on end all over again.

It's almost like Momo isn't even there. Kintaros' guard slips again.]

[alwaysataclimax]

[And that gives Momotaros an opening. An opening to push up and lunge at Kintaros. It's not a very good lunge, given the positions, though it's aimed for the bear's waist. He continues to show no interest at all in answering Kintaros' continual questions, and should he connect, he'll attempt to wrestle Kin to the ground.]

[wipeyourtears]

[Being shouldered in the gut doesn't do much to stun Kintaros, though he is thrown off balance. Throwing Momotaros off quickly becomes a priority, however, because in his condition, he might just kill himself pushing Kintaros.

Kintaros can't bear the thought that Momo could die here, now, fighting him. This isn't right.]

Stop! [He sounds frantic as he makes a grab for Momo's injured arm to pull him away at the same time he struggles to stay on his feet. Momo is dragging him down hard.]

[alwaysataclimax]

[The grab to his injured arm doesn't do much to Momotaros' attention other than annoyance, at least until Kintaros' strength overwhelms his own. He tumbles to the ground once more, thankfully easily removed by the positioning and his continuing decline in state of being.

He still moves to try and get up, though. It's slower and messier than before, but he's just not going to stop. Not until he can't, anyway.]

[wipeyourtears]

Stop. [Kintaros struggles to make his voice firm as he tries to hold Momotaros down with one foot. He's never been afraid of anything – not even dying. He's afraid for Momo right now.] This is not right. This is not you! Come to your senses!

[He isn't trying hard to keep Momo down. He doesn't want to accidentally crush anything.]

[alwaysataclimax]

Gyeeeaaugh....

[He might not make very much headway, but Momo will keep pushing against the foot, consequences be damned. Mostly because he's comprehending consequences even less than he normally does at this point, which is saying something.]

[wipeyourtears]

[If he pushes back any harder, he will most certainly injure Momo. Kintaros doesn't see much choice but to relent and back away.]

Momonoji… [What if he lets Momo tire himself out? The other Imagin looks to be on the brink of exhaustion as it is. Kintaros lowers his axe and slaps his chest.] Take your anger out on me, then!
