@element: From a lyrical standpoint, they're both good [small](even though I had to rely on the spoiler'ed lyrics on that last one o_O')[/small], but I always figured Wolf at the Door was perfect in a production/emotion/"setting" standpoint. Wolf at the Door was much more creepy, with the lullaby-esque opening and subtle intensity in Thom Yorke's voice. And while not exactly about death, had elements of violence laced in it. Last Living Souls had much more clear imagery with it's lyrics, but seemed a bit too poppy. If only there was a good middle ground of clear lyrics and imagery... Hm...
[sub][sub]I also would have said this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ7w-z4BvMo], for the sake of imagery, but the lyrics wouldn't have fit too well, and not a lot of people are fans of rap [sub](at least not here)[/sub] so I figured best not let it be an option. [/sub][/sub]

I think we should actually move away from lyrics to be honest. Something instrumental would likely work better.


There was another song that I was going to suggest but there isn't an album version on youtube.

@element: Hm... I like it! Even though it may be in a bit of a more chipper tune, it could really give one a nice noir feel.

@Icarion If you read the guide it tells you to PM them after the second day so they will actually fucking vote so a round doesn't take over a week.

We are all here because after our grisly murders, we refuse to move on and are stuck in an in-between, a place we call "Jesus Infinite Buffet". There is no actual "heaven", it's just a concept we've dreamed up, a shared hallucination of sorts to keep from going mad. Just when we think we are about to find out who our killer is and gain the closure needed to cross over, POOF! We find ourselves alive again, with the killer that took everything away from us now lording over our lives. We live with suspicion and jealousy, continuing to attempt to kill all others in the asylum in order to bring some sort of consolation, our real target out of our reach.

Today was my day. Just like the other residents I had used the week planning the demise of another player, excited and thrilled to murder in the name of "justice". Maybe I should have enjoyed the peace, perhaps I should have rejoiced because the cycle might have been broken. Maybe we would be able to leave. Maybe we would be able to live, and not have to die violently in the alleys of the town.

I had it all planned out, and I was looking forward to the look on their faces. But alas, it was my turn. I screamed and insisted that they had the wrong person, that I was no more a killer then they were, but they, like me, wanted blood, and I was to provide it. Strung up in the air, all I felt was anger. My killer was still out there. The one who killed me and my friends. And he would continue to kill them and there was nothing I could do about it.

Slowly my life ebbed from my wounded body, my lynchers sating their bloodthirst with my still-warm organs. There was no light for me to walk to, no heaven... just the darkness. The cold merciless darkness. My killer taunts me. I cannot even remember his face anymore, he's just a shadow in front of me. All that's left is the emotion. He is no longer the reason why I don't cross over. He's the reason I am driven to live again. And I can't even remember his face.

@Skye: I don't know... I think there's something missing in my death posts. I don't tend to write the detailed, emotional pieces you guys produce...

That may be a problem with my writing in general, actually. Emotion, depth, development, getting a proper look inside the character's head...

Ever feel like you've been doing something right and it turns out there's a metric ton more to it, that you've been missing the whole time?

@CA: Don't worry dude, your writing is miles above mine. I tend to go towards comedy 'cause it's the only thing I'm comfortable writing. xD
