It's tradition to kill ninja boi off first, isn't it? 

TW: Death, talk of Blood/Death, Strangulation,  

EDIT: I left the outline in the chapter.

---------------------

[Xisuma POV]

Night's fallen pretty fast. Many of the others have gone to their rooms by now, but I've made it my goal to stay up until everyone's gone to sleep. If I can, I will prevent any deaths from happening so far. 

For now, only the previous members of Boatem, Doc, and Xemon were awake. The Boatem crew are engaged in an hour-long game of UNO, Doc is tinkering with his robotic arm [It had crashed shortly after we arrived], and Xemon is, well I don't know what Xemon's doing. 

Knowing my brother, he's probably sitting somewhere and on something that isn't supposed to be sat on. 

Doc's gone to sleep now, well I assume he has since he's headed to his and Ren's shared room. Boatem's still up, though Pearl's passed out on Grian's shoulder. It's nice that she trusts him enough to do that, they're practically siblings anyways. 

Scar's laid across Grian's lap, which I'm pretty sure Grian is using as an advantage, I mean he can see Scar's cards. 

Xemon also finally showed up, and they handed him Pearl's cards to finish the game. 

Never mind, they haven't finished the game. They're now a pile of sleeping bodies on top of each other.

I guess I should head to sleep now. It's best off that way.

[Murderer POV]

Everyone has gone to sleep now, so it's time to strike. I must be careful, with the group in the living area. The target does need to be moved out of his room. His boyfriend/lover or best friend [?] is curled into his side. 

I've managed to move the victim, and he's laying on the kitchen floor. I'm lucky my host is buff. Back to the victim, I've decided to not get too bloody, not today at least. I don't need to get caught just yet. 

He's surprisingly not waking up while I strangle him. I can see the bruises appearing on his neck, then again it's easy to see that, he's pale as fuck... He's gone now, no longer a part of this world.

Time to return to where my host went to sleep. 

[Xisuma POV]

I woke up to a loud scream coming from the kitchen. The killer took their first victim last night, and it was Etho. Beef's inconsolable, and he's not letting any of us near him. He's curled up on the couch, I'm pretty sure he and Etho were dating. He must be broken. 

"Etho's body disappeared?!" Someone's yelled, and true to their word, his body has.
