The Last Supper - Hunting Grounds
[ Chosen idols will find themselves abruptly taken, in their unit's room one moment and out in a courtyard the next. An impossibly tall and incredibly dense garden hedge divides the courtyard into sections—moreover, it increasingly gets taller when climbed, preventing its residents from escaping their slice of the courtyard.
A few sparse bushes and trees decorate the area, but there's nothing to keep the hunted away from the hunter.
Everyone will find their unit powers are off. However, Hands and Mouths can feel the power deep within themselves—they can grasp that power and turn into their monster form, should they desire so. Hands will find themselves in a natural disadvantage, however: they're much smaller than their Mouth counterparts, diminutive in size, and moreover, while they acquire whatever claws and teeth their monster form affords them, Mouths are capable of strength beyond that—faster agility and strength at minimum, though they may also have supernatural abilities, such as the ability to breathe fire. ]

Re: R1 MOUTH vs HEART
I'm Alizarin, of ☆Zrael. I'll find a way to make it up to you once we're all out of this. Okay? [ She unsheathes her katana and flicks the blade a few times, blindingly fast. It's clear she thinks she'll win this, and it's not just mindless boasting. ] In the meantime, for whatever it's worth, I hate having to do this.
[ And with that she charges, her speed even beyond what she can achieve outside the game tower (for once) -- which is to say, super fast. Her sword flashes and comes down in a blinding arc with all her inhuman strength, going right for the neck. She's at least aiming to end this quick. ]
Re: R1 MOUTH vs HEART
[With the mask, that's impossible to tell, too - but before he can get a word in, she's moving]
[He's not especially fast, but neither is he stupid - knew enough to get the nailbat up to try and block. Or maybe it's meant to be a counter-attack? Either way, he's coming in swinging. That little heart symbol is a lot of responsibility and he doesn't intend to just roll over and go down, however freakishly fast she happens to be]
Re: R1 MOUTH vs HEART
[ If she manages to tie up his legs, she'll yank on her rope, hard, to try and being him down. ]
Re: R1 MOUTH vs HEART
[The rope he doesn't see coming. It's too low, and it's on his blind side, besides; it tangles with his legs, and he goes down hard, all the air rushing out of him when he hits]
[The nailbat swings up toward her knees, trying to drive her back. The other hand scrambles behind him, fairly certain she won't be driven back, to throw a handful of the courtyard dirt up into her eyes as soon as she steps into range]
Re: R1 MOUTH vs HEART
Not bad. [ Then her sword flies down in a bright arc, trying to take off his head. Quick and neat, no suffering. ]
Re: R1 MOUTH vs HEART
[He doesn't wait for her to stop talking before he realizes it's not going to work - abandons the bat and rolls to one side with fractions of a second to spare, the sword catching nothing but a few strands of blue hair]
Re: R1 MOUTH vs HEART
[ She gives a hard yank on her rope to stop him from getting far, sweeps the bat across the courtyard with her boot. Then she throws her dagger with one hand and pounces, swinging her sword with the other. Her dagger's aim is to bury into the ground just ahead of where he's rolling, to stop him from moving far enough that she can't get a clean hit with her katana this time, still going for the neck. It would be easier, perhaps, to take out an arm or leg, but she doesn't want him to suffer. ]
Re: R1 MOUTH vs HEART
[One hand goes to yank it out of the ground, trying to arm himself again; the other comes up, instinctively, to block. Only, the nailbat is long gone, and all he has to block with is his own arm]
[He's got nowhere left to go, and that clean neck cut is hers to take, if she's willing to cut through his arm to do it]
Re: R1 MOUTH vs HEART
[ Only when it's done does she stop and sag, as though exhausted. ] Sorry.
[ She yanks her dagger from the ground and her sword from his neck; for herself she won't bother eating, but for her unit... she pauses to consider whether to take any of the body back for Aradia. (As it turns out, a pointless choice.) In the end she uses her sword to slice off a bit of his flank, which won't be recognizable as a distinctly human body part. Maybe she'll eat some of this if she doesn't know where it came from. ]
