Cerise is awake and the killings have begun again.

So, I spent some time recovering from the fight with Frederick. Brought Cerise and I back to the hospital and got us nice and healed up. Cerise was fine except she needed rest and I mostly just needed some bandages. All in all we got out of the fight with very few injuries really. It seemed a lot worse than it was even if death had been a completely possible outcome of the fight.

Once we were both recovered we headed back out and it seems Cerise now really wants Hella dead. Apparently we're now going looking for her. Not that we've been able to find her. We did find someone else though. There was some guy. I have no idea how he managed to survive this long. He was just hiding and we stumbled upon us. He begged us not to kill him. He'd been hiding from everyone. He wanted to surrender, but was scared the other contestants would prefer to kill him then let him surrender. I never wanted to kill someone as much as when I saw this sniveling coward.

Apparently Cerise agreed. I feel like I've been a good influence on her. She walked up to him smiling and I thought she was going to let him go, then she brought her flamethrower up pointed directly at his face and let forth a jet of flame and didn't release the trigger until he was just a charred corpse on the ground.

I think I might be falling in love.

Oh also Cerise has stated that she'll get back to posting on her own site as soon as she manages to get her hands on a new device since her old one got broken. Shouldn't be long with the points we're racking up.

Now Freddy is Deady and Hella is still Scary.

So, it came at last. It was less fun than I expected it to be.

Freddy and his girlfriend showed up at last for our big confrontation and almost immediately Cerise went down. See they got up close before we managed to properly notice them and before the fight had even properly started Hella just reached out and placed her hand on Cerise and Cerise dropped to her knees clutching at her chest before pitching forward facedown. I was shocked and honestly Freddy looked pretty shocked too, but when I went for Hella Freddy recovered. He attacked and I was forced back and when I tried to counterattack Hella was there reaching for me and I definitely didn't want the same thing so I was forced back again.

The Children's Defense Mechanism wasn't much help here. Freddy obviously was told about it and Hella seemingly knew about it or maybe I was just getting panicky. I mean I didn't really give her much chance to reach out so she could have been going for the fake, who knows I wasn't about to risk it. When someone can just reach out and stop your heart you generally try not to get too close.

I managed to get a few good hits on Freddy, but that just made things worse really. Frederick is a nest and so every successful hit I got off slowed him down maybe a bit, but just let out birds I'd then have to contend with. Honestly if it wasn't for one thing I think I was probably going to die there.

That one thing was Cerise wasn't dead. I saw it out of the corner of my eye as she slowly got back up, she was breathing heavily and holding her chest still, but she seemed more surprised than pained. I started to simply keep my distance as I watched her grab her flamethrower as she got up to her feet and then she ran over and fired out a jet of flame towards Hella.

Frederick stopped and moved back from the flames like any proper nest would and Hella got... well arguably lucky. She must have heard a sound or something, but she just managed to get out of the way of the jet. Not far enough out of the way though. The heat of the flames scorched the side of her face as it roared past and ignited her hoody. She tore it off in a hoody and she seemed panicked. I don't know if it was just how close she came to being charbroiled or surprise at seeing Cerise still alive, but whatever it was she shot a hateful glare at me and then fled. Cerise tried to give chase, but then collapsed breathing heavily again. I was smiling, even with Cerise seemingly back out of commission I felt like I had won.

I was wrong of course. Frederick wasn't beaten so easily and he attacked again while I was soaking my presumptuous belief of victory and he scored a hit. I stumbled back and slashed out at him again scoring a hit, but just causing more birds to come flying at me. I dealt with them, but even without Hella I realized I was at a disadvantage.

I'd stocked up on incendiary weapons just for dealing with this event, but Cerise had all of them and she was back lying face down on the ground, possibly dead for real this time. With just my machete I had no chance of beating Frederick.

I took a chance and tried to dive past him. As I did he reached out and I saw a small cut on his hand that he pressed to my shoulder as I passed and a burst of electricity shot into me and launched me. I felt my body twitching and everything hurt, luckily for me Frederick seemed a little stunned as well and I forced myself to crawl over to Cerise. Frederick had recovered and was coming for me so I didn't have time to think. I grabbed Cerise's bag, stuck my hand in and took out the first object I touched. It was a grenade of some kind. I pulled the pin and threw it as hard as I could at Frederick.

I saw his eyes widen and I knew that it was all down to luck now. If the grenade didn't kill him I was probably dead. Luckily for me I had chosen well. The grenade hit and sent out a burst of flames in all directions. I saw Frederick for a moment covered in flames, standing perfectly still and then he began to panic as he burned. I lay my head on the ground and just watched him burn.

You did well Frederick. You did well, but not well enough.

P.S. Oh yeah Cerise is still alive. Apparently her heart is doing fine too. Not entirely sure why she's okay, but she's okay.

Freddy isn't Deady.

So... Yeah seems the dead nest who showed up was some guy named Glenn. Apparently a friend of Freddy's. Although seeing his response I'm guessing they were friends in the same way Oliver and I were friends. Which means that Freddy is still alive.

Also apparently he doesn't like being called Freddy and so I'm going to call him that exclusively from now on. I'm a people pleaser.

Also Cerise won't be typing for the next day or so. Her hands are damaged so I'll be talking for her. She can still use her fingers which means she's still useful, but she injured her hands and so she can't move them very dexterously without pain and so typing is currently beyond her. It's a fairly minor bit of damage and should be fine within a day or two.

I suppose since she can't tell you what happened I should.

She was buying more fuel for her flamethrower. She got jumped by some guy. I wasn't there at the time so couldn't help out. She managed to fight him off, but he was too close for her to use the flamethrower so she used her knife instead. She claims she cut him up real good, but he wasn't going down so she started to focus instead on getting distance. The man was fast, faster than her and so this proved difficult. If he had a weapon she would probably have died, but luckily the guy seemed content to try to kill her with his bare hands. Eventually she became desperate and ended up using the flamethrower despite his close proximity, she managed to set him aflame, but he continued to attack her as he burned and she held him off using the thrower part of her flamethrower which was quite hot after it's use and holding it to hold him off burned her hands quite a bit. Luckily he didn't last much longer and succumbed finally collapsing dead after a few minutes of being ignited. When she got back to me, her hands were red, severely burned, skin peeling and she was crying.

I honestly felt kind of bad for her. Helped tend to and bandage her hands and agreed to post for her for the next little bit though I refused to post on her blog so it will be inactive until she's ready to post for herself again.

Good as new.

So, I'm out of the... hospital? and feeling ready to kill some people again. Also seems like Frederick wasn't kidding about finding me yesterday. Unfortunately I was still stuck in bed, so didn't get the chance to kill him myself. Seems like Cerise did a good enough job on her own. Still a shame, also no sign of Hella so I still have that to worry about. Maybe I'll be lucky and she'll turn out to be the same amount of build up to anti-climax ratio as Frederick turned out to be.

As for what actually happened... I'm sure Cerise will talk about it. She'll undoubtedly want to gloat about it to you guys. She already spent a while gloating about it to me.

Feels like forever since I last posted.

So... Cerise isn't happy with my plan. Which obviously, but she raised some pretty good points about why it might not be the best plan. I mean yeah I don't really need her to be in great fighting shape. Again I don't really rely on her for combat, but... Admittedly it would be useful to keep her at a helpful level of combat ability at least until Frederick and Hella are taken care of.

So... Congratulations Cerise. Your reasonable arguments have swayed me. It totally has nothing to do with anything else that may have happened that if you put on your blog I swear to god I will skin you alive.
