Peckish
Your guts all have finally started to settle down after the last trial.... Having seen that gruesome sight, everyone is trying their best to forget about it.
When the ominous voice of the Oni appeared, none of you were surprised at this point. You wonder what it will have you all force to kill each other over now?
Once everyone was in the living room, you glanced around for the Oni. There was no sight of it anywhere though... Where could it be hiding?
All of a sudden, the few lights that illuminated the mansion all went out at once.
You suddenly have a feeling of disorientation, not being able to see where you are going.
That is when you felt its presence among you once more.
“This game.... It has been long.... And tedious...” The Oni sounded... Discontent? If that was even possible.
“Its made me... Feel slightly... Peckish.”
Peckish. That is not the word you were wanting to hear today.
“So... I have a new motive... The lights will remained shut off.... And in three days... If no one has killed someone... I will begin feeding on any one of you...”
The words hung in the air, making the tension so thick you could slice it with a knife.
“Goodbye... For now...”
And with that, the Oni was gone.
You might have thought the stakes were high before.... But nothing compares to this.
