Should your character ever find themselves facing off against Grell, please read this so you can better understand how he fights. Also, due to his main power, I'll need to discuss with you what sort of things Grell would be able to see when/if he were to cut your character or make them bleed in any way.

WHOEVER THOUGHT LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MOUNTAINS AFTER THAT LAST...WHATEVER THAT WAS WITH THE HOUSES WAS A GOOD IDEA IS GOING TO DIE.

I DON'T CARE WHO IT WAS. YOU'RE GOING TO DIE.

...


....once I find my scythe. Where in the blazes did that thing go anyway?

What in the name of everything holy is going on?

I tried to go out for a stroll and the ground floor is flooding. And now the apartments smell musty and I swear that smell is going to stick.

It's not raining, so why are the water levels rising? Is this another one of those "things" that just happen around here?

Do things of that nature happen often here?

Because now I'm stuck with some sort of pie and I don't know exactly what to do with it. Or whether it's edible. I do believe it might be chocolate.

And avocado.

...

These are the times when I wish He hadn't given you all free will.

I do hope you're all ready for that test I've prepared in Home Economics class, darlings. If you're not?

Well.

Let's just say you'll learn to fear the reaper.

[The microphone cuts in as if someone hit the buttons by accident]

----ugh ...my head... I swear this isn't a decent hour to be...

Where the...

...What.

WHAT?!

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS ATTACHED TO MY BACK?! Oh, Lord, please, please, PLEASE don't tell me this is my punishment! William! William, you sadistic--

WHERE ARE YOU?! COME OUT NOW!


....


Wait. WHERE AM I?!

And what in the world are... Eggs? Why are there--

[There's an explosion and then the microphone cuts out]

[The computer is sitting on the ground, with its camera pointed toward the tents in the background. There's a long pause where nothing is shown on the screen, but off camera is the sound of something wet dripping onto the grass. When Grell's voice is heard, he sounds like he's absently talking to himself.]

...They thought a curse would stop me?

Pathetic.

It just made it worse. She would have loved that world - she could have been a mother. He would...well, he'd probably have hated it, but he hates everything.

[The dripping continues for a moment and then Grell laughs a little under his breath]

Would you have liked it? I wonder... I bet you all would have, but it's a shame...

[He finally steps around in front of the camera, but only his legs, tail and the tips of his wings can be seen. There are splotches of blood everywhere on what can be seen of him]

You'll be the first - my little presents to all of them. I do hope they enjoy. She always did. She loved seeing their bodies laid out afterward, broken apart...torn into pieces.

[He sighs happily and keeps moving forward. Just before he reaches the edge of the tents, he turns so that the camera can see all of him. His clothes are covered in blood and he's holding three heads in his arms - Virginia, Kite and Ling Tong. He sets them down at the edge of the tents and then walks back toward the camera.]

Enjoy your presents, my darlings.

[Oh so affected by the curse, he doesn't remember his vow to kill everything in the world. :|b ]

Yumichika~ I'm terribly bored. Let's go do something, hm? I can't stand being stuck in this castle all day.

You're going to pay for this, you stupid beasts. And not just you. All of your little toys here, too. Every single one of them.

Do you hear me?

You're all going to pay for this.

[Grell is dressed in a black suit unlike his usual attire, but he still has his deathscythe and his gloves on. He's standing on the battlefield, watching as people are fighting around him, but no one seems to notice him]

Busy as always. Wars always have been good for business.

[He looks down at the list in his hand and then over to a young man who stops near him]

Time to get to work.

[The list disappears into his jacket as he revs his chainsaw and the screen goes black]

Well, well. And so the holidays have come and gone and I'm still finding such lovely gifts out here in the forest.

Whoever wrote me some love letters out here in someone else's blood?

You're a darling, please keep it up. It's so nice to see so much effort put into hating me.

Nfu, what a joy it is today. William? Are you still looking for your things? I was nice enough to bring something back and left it for you at the...igloo...thing. Not the things you're looking for, but it is the Yuletide after all.

Oh, and Mireille? I've apparently been chosen to give you something for the holidays as well. Mind meeting me for a bit to receive it? I'm still...technically hiding from that supervisor of mine.

[Grell's taking it easy over by the onsen, hair tied up since he's in the water]

Will~ How's the search going, hm? Are you getting along well with your new friends?

[Grell's hidden somewhere in the forest, hanging out on a tree limb, lounging back like the total bastard he is. He's got a certain book in his hands and is leafing through it]

So, now that the curse is over, I can finally get some real work done. Will, I do hope you appreciate what I've done for you. It wasn't easy, you know. I had to wake up especially early to make sure you didn't catch me on the way out. Let's see how long our game lasts, hm? I promise, if you can find me - I'll give you this right back.

[he closes the book and waves it at the screen]

But you have to have everything else together first.

Good luck with your scavenger hunt, darling. Make sure to say thank you to the nice people holding things for you.


[ooc; So, Grell's stolen and hidden a bunch of Will's stuff in an attempt to get him to talk to more people. Anyone want to help? 83; I need at least one person for each item: his tie (Sakamoto Ryoma), his comb (Ling Tong), his right glove (Sebastian), his left glove (Mireille), a pack of blank forms [unclaimed], and a pack of files (Rei). So seven people if you would be so lovely as to help me, Sieben~]

[He's a fire bird anyway, so here you go. Grell's chilling on a giant rock near the cave]

Hm... Well, it's not like I'm unused to this animal already, but being on fire is yet again a rather cumbersome thing. At least I'm not near the water anymore.

Nngh, I have the worst headache and I feel like--

....

[incoherent screaming and a splash as he falls in the water]

Oh, HELL no.

[the camera is dark for now, but it's obviously recording. in the background there's the sound of heels clicking along the floor, moving slowly as if circling something]

...she was supposed to be mine. I had her marked! That's not fair!

She was mine! Whoever the hell killed her is going to pay!

[the jacket that had been covering the camera is ripped off and Grell's legs are seen walking off, leaving the computer on. the camera itself is focused on Virginia's dead body]

[candlelight barely illuminates the room, but it's evident the entire thing is bathed in blood - if someone has especially good eyesight, they might catch a glimpse of fish parts everywhere. Grell steps out of the shadows with his chainsaw by his side and grins like a madman at the camera as the candlelight starts to flicker]

Now...for the rest of you.

[light flickers and he's gone - the camera times out to shadows moving across the screen
