As I watched RaN leave, I felt a little bad about kicking him out like that. But the idea that was gonna die again because of him had me pissed and what happened next didn't really matter anyway. We would both be dead soon enough.
THE WHEEL OF FATE IS TURNING
A voice boomed out in mind at about the same time I heard RaN screaming in the distance. I had been ready for that, but damn it came quickly. With a sigh of resignation, I had one last Dew and moved over to the closet filled with weapons I had for just such in occasion. If I had to die, I might as well make it a way of my own choosing right?
"Let's see... Gun... No, did that last time... Bottle of Mello Yello... No, I'm not feeling THAT masochistic... Grenade...."
My hand hovered over the grenade and an odd idea came into my head. I had to die and there was no escaping that. But who's to say I couldn't take that bastard out with me. I quickly grabbed the grenade and ran out to the door towards where RaN's voice had come from.
I managed to catch up with the killer as he stood over RaN's body. Keeping the grenade hidden behind my back, I slowly approached the killer who turned to look at me. "Shouldn't you be putting a bullet in your brain or drinking some Mello Yello right now?" They asked with a chuckle.
"That's so cliched though! Well, coming from me anyway. I thought I'd broaden my horizons and try something new this time around." I replied, now standing almost right in front of them. I pulled the pin out of the grenade behind my back and held it out towards the killer. "Why should RaN and I get to have all the fun of dying? They say three's company but I sure as hell don't mind!"
There was no way out. Even if they ran, I could easily stay in range. I wasn't sure what I expected the killer's reaction to be, but they seemed oddly calm. "Now now Fragrance..." The killer said with a slight grin, wagging a finger tauntingly at me and speaking in the most condescending tone I'd ever heard. "You can't break the rules like that. There's only one who can kill me like this, and you are not the one. I thought you'd know better by now!"
Fuck. They had a point. I was no Arbiter and didn't have any sort of organized lynch mob backing me up. Would Fate really go so far as to stop a grenade just to fuck me over one last time? I opened my mouth, not sure of what I was going to say. In the end, all I could do was laugh. I laughed like a madman until the exploding grenade silenced me for good.
As my spirit rose out of my body and ascended to JIB, I looked down to see what had happened. The smoke cleared revealing my mangled corpse.... And the killer looking smug as fuck and totally unscathed. They looked up towards the sky, even though there was no way they could see me. "Better luck next time you two..."
"Yeah, up yours asshole... At least I get some infinite Dew and a break from all this shit." I muttered as the world blurred and my soul faded out of it.
