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. ]

R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
Both idols can tell—they're both Mouths. Not only that, they're vying for the same prey.
Please roll 1d6. The highest roller will be the winner of this encounter. ]

Third time's a charm ]
[ He includes his head towards Saffron politely. ]
Greetings. It has been a while since we last partook in a game together.
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
Oh. It was Zhongli, wasn't it? I'm not sure if it's really a "greetings" situation...
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
Yes. And if I recall, your preferred name is Saffron?
Ah, I suppose you are correct, and this is not a greetings situation. However, I am not sure how one might start such a conversation besides best of luck to the both of us. And I was advised by our resident Doctor to avoid eating brains if possible, should you contain on further.
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
Although, I think that's the least of our problems. Apparently half my unit eats human flesh or blood already, so—I can at least try and make sure they're provided for.

[ He hefts a spear he took from Heart's War Room. ]
Shall we begin then?
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
[ her form starts to blur at the edges, erupting into spindly, shadowy hands—that look like they're not particularly strong, but on the other hand, there's like
well. they just keep coming? reaching out toward him. ]
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
[ And his form elongates to that of a long spindly dragon as the ground starts to shake and shudder underneath their feet.
He floats up, attempting to keep out of reach as he experimentally summons a stone stele out of the earth to intercept one of those hands. ]
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
this time, it's stronger. this time, even though the hands are flimsy, they don't crush stone—the fingers cut through it like particularly sharp knives. ]
There. There, I should have done this from the start—
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
You're quite adaptable.
[ And as she shreds the stone stalagmite with those shadow hands, he dives down to grapple at her body with long taloned claws. ]
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
Ngh—I try—
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
And then he moves to dart behind her and past though hands. A line of fur and scales to try and catch her from the back. ]
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
honestly, could you call it a body that's there under all the arms? close enough. there's still something that slices apart like paper when clawed. ]
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
But when he finds something that tears, he focuses on that spot. One giant swipe of claws in an attempt to swipe where the chest might be.
Where are the vital organs in an army of hands?
Somehow there should also be an avante joke woven in here. ]
Re: R2 MOUTH vs MOUTH
well. organs are kind of metaphorical anyway. shredding through the layers—she starts to fall apart, arms hanging limply, insides leaking blood that wafts away like smoke. this does not seem terribly edible at the moment but that wasn't the point, anyway. ]
