Project 75

Written by: Liqo Laern
Date: Saturday, December 22nd, 2007
Addressed to: Everyone



Project 75 was a short-run contest asking for ideas about new
Malignist-specific emotive abilities.

My apologies, everyone, for taking so long. I've been away on personal
business and have been unable to take care of things promptly. However,
this part is now done.

I will list, in a moment, all of the entries I received for this
contest. I will be writing them as originally submitted, and not as the
editted versions I've created, so as to preserve the essence of the
authors' idea. As written, every last one of these needed changes,
whether they were grammatically incorrect, misspelled, missing necessary
1st/2nd/3rd person views, etc. Therefore, if anyone capable of reading
this post would carefully consider the idea of each entry, and judge for
themselves what they think is best, it would be much appreciated if you
would send your thoughts on to our Lord, Tsinghahla, who will render
final judgement.

daeggertouch
You croon softly at a small dagger while stroking your finger along the
blade. An eye suddenly opens in the hilt and looks wildly about for a
moment before a deep, threatening growl issues from the blade itself,
which has split along the edge to reveal a forest of razor-sharp teeth.

=======================================================================

Daeggerplunge
The daegger's teeth begin to chatter and nash expectantly, each
one grating with an almost unearthly sound, music to your ears as you
offer
your weapon the head of (anyone). Soon enough the little demon begins to
slash
and cut at the head in a blur of motion that seems almost unreal. Soon
enough
though the head has dissapeared and in it's place there lies a bloody
mess in
your hands.

You fill with a shiver of fear as (Malignists name) raises
the head of (anyone) aloft, a wicked gleam in (gender)'s eyes as she
profers
the head to (gender)'s weapon. The nashing and whirring of it's teeth
fill the
air with a grating whine as the weapon slices itself into the head,
devouring
it with an almost un-restrained dark appetite that disgusts and
frightens you,
fortunately the little nightmare ends as quickly as it began leaving a
bloody
stain in (Malignists) hand.

Without a head: The daegger in (Malignists) hand begins to writhe and
shake,
looking about furtively for the object of it's desire, a reedy whine
filling
the air as it's teeth nash in frustration before calmly settling into
(Malignists) hand.

Without a head directed: The daegger in (malignists) hand stares at you
intently, it's little eyes filling with a demonic malevolence as you are
filled
with a shiver of fear at what it wants from you.

=======================================================================

demonshift
You stare calmly at your Ouroboros, who are immediatly alerted to your
gaze. In
a desperate attempt to change the form you spotted, your Ouroboros begin
shifting appearances into a variety of shapes and sizes, changing too
fast for
your eye to follow. You smirk in a slightly amused way as your Ouroboros
ultimately returns to the original shape, it's efforts futile."

=======================================================================

Evilaura (3rd) - The eyes of <Player> dim ominously, as they fill with a
pitch black pit. <Player> gives off a wicked smile of mortal demise, as
a dark, translucent aura begins to overlap <his/her> body with violent
and writhing demonic shadows.

Evilaura (1st) - Your eyes begin to tingle and haze, as they fill with a
pitch black pit. With a wicked smile knowing the fate of your
surroundings, a dark, translucent aura begins to overlap your body with
violent and writhing demonic shadows.

Darkforge (3rd) - Quickly cutting <his/her> palm open with a daegger,
<Player> summons a wicked-looking daemonite and stares impassionately
upon its being with the evil eye. The daemonite's body illuminates red,
as it rushes <Player>, and forges itself around <his/her> armor with a
daemonic coating.

=======================================================================

Darkforge (1st) - Quickly cutting your palm open with a daegger, you
manifest a wicked-looking daemonite and stare coldly upon its being. The
daemonite's body illuminates red, as it rushes you and forges itself
around your armor with a daemonic coating.

=======================================================================

Nightmareeyes (3rd/nontarget) - Staring off into the distance, a ghastly
prism of colours illuminate the eyes of <Player>, and begin to slowly
spiral in a vortex of nightmarish images around the room.

Nightmareeyes (3rd/target) - Staring directly upon <Target>, a ghastly
prism of colours illuminate the eyes of <Player>, and begin to slowly
spiral in a vortex of nightmarish images onto <Target>

Nightmareeyes (2nd/target) - Staring directly into your soul, a ghastly
prism of colours illuminate the eyes of <Player>, as a vortex of
terrifying images begin to project your worst nightmare into your mind.

Nightmareeyes (1st/nontarget) - Staring off into the distance, a ghastly
prism of colours illuminate your eyes. Concentrating on all that is
malign, you begin to slowly project a vortex of nightmarish images
around the room.

Nightmareeyes (1st/target) - Staring directly into the soul of <target>,
a ghastly prism of colours illuminate your eyes. Concentrating on all
that is malign, you begin to slowly project a vortex of nightmarish
images into the mind of <target>.

=======================================================================

Soulchill (3rd/target) - Laughing with a curve of twisted sadism,
<Player> reaches out with a deathly pale hand to touch <target>, who
seems to shiver intensely and become momentarily senseless.

Soulchill (2nd) - Sadistically laughing at you in twisted perversion,
<Player> reaches ahold of your shoulder with a deathly pale hand. You
feel your soul begin to chill to a freeze, as your sense go null.

Soulchill (1st) - Laughing with a curve of twisted sadism, you reach out
with a with the hand of death and begin to freeze the soul of <target>
senseless.
