He waited for the search party to return.
So the Chaos Heart could make him pick off another straggler, no doubt.
He forced a sigh. He wasn't exactly sure what to think, his views switching from fearing what he let himself become and accepting it all the time.
He couldn't decide which of the two he'd stand by.
Luigi froze as he heard voices.
"I think we're lost..."
The group began to bicker, and he began to scan over the group once they got into view.
It was like an animalistic instinct.
Just that thought scared Luigi some. Now he was hoping he wouldn't lose his humanity in all this.
Someone in the group seemed to be completely ignored. A rather short human woman, her hair dyed an electric blue.
She would be next to die, considering how everyone else wasn't really paying attention to her.
He followed the group, waiting for her to fall back enough to drag her off to her death without being seen.
Once this occurred, he came forward, plunging a knife into her skull and dragging the body off.
He began collecting blood, filling more bags. It was a little messy, an incision he made at the neck sprayed far more than he anticipated, specking his mask with red. Once he was finally done, he grabbed the corpse and went ahead of the party, and finding a tall tree.
He pushed the woman's corpse up it, and climbed up the tree, until he was adequately hidden by leaves and nerve-wrackingly high up.
He fidgeted slightly.
Slightly.
Now he waited for the party to arrive.
He did a quick headcount once he could see them.
There were five people remaining.
He wasn't sure he had enough blood bags for all of them.
Maybe he could afford one more, but that would be a little later.
They approached the tree, and Luigi shuffled where the corpse lay.
He was mostly frozen with concentration.
Soon. Soon.
He glanced at her dead eyes, taking a moment to think about just what he has been doing.
...He didn't even know why he was slaughtering these innocent people.
He heard the search party better now. They were close!
He grabbed the body and let the bloodless cadaver plummet to the ground.
It landed with a sickening plap, much to the horror of the last living people there.
Now, he began to get down to escape.
Escape back to the undergrowth to continue the hunt.
