Round 3 Prompt

 

Round 3: Main Course

Prompt Detail

 

Here are the seating arrangements for reference.

Welcome, Guests, to ROUND 3.

Please read the Round 3 Introductory comic before reading further.

     This is it. The final round.

Raven Luzon versus Ezra Oliveira and Chris Cortez.

But here is the caveat: there can only be one person left standing.

Not two.

They must eat, or be eaten.

RULES: 

  1. For clarification, each Guest does not get control of the House until they consume their desires.
  2. No holds barred. Contestants can kill house staff, set the place ablaze, create or destroy shit, whatever they want– the House is at YOUR command, but remember, the House is at your opponent’s command as well.
  3. That said, the House staff are under the control of the Guests as well.
  4. Guests may summon previous Hosts and Staff. These NPCs can be made up at will.
  5. The only person immune to this is the cat, Il Gateau. The cat is untouchable.
  6. Guests may not leave the House.
  7. There cannot be a draw. If both sides abstain from action, Zombie Caris will resurrect to kill and eat them both, or she will send her loyal staff to do the deed. All guests will be thrown out of time and space to haunt the House forever, and will never find out who the House has chosen for a host. 

CONDITIONS FOR DEFEATING YOUR OPPONENT

    The winner must first eat their desire, and then eat their opponent. Interpret this as you will.

     Ezra and Chris must decide who gets to move on. They both cannot stand together as winners.

     Raven needs only to defeat whoever is left.

Only one person can be left alive.

 

CONSEQUENCES

     If characters fail, they will die. The House will devour them, and their ghosts will remain trapped inside the House.

     If everyone dies…

Well. The House always wins.
