Summary
I am standing behind the bed, looking down at you with a smile on my face. My left hand is pulling the covers tight around your form, mindful that you won’t catch a chill, and with my other hand I am pressing the cold tip of an electric drill against your face with my finger tight on the trigger. [Thomas POV, NSFW, not safe for mind, deconstruction of the Automaton and Unrequited AUs, fairly horrific violence. Please read all warnings before proceeding.]

"This place," Duke said, hands fidgeting on the wheel as he drove them down toward the flat intertidal whiteness, paled from the salt and sun exposure. "There's something about this place, now. I like lonely areas, but this is giving me the creeps."
"Me, too." Audrey shifted at Nathan's side. "Nathan."
"Don't like it much," Nathan mumbled.
"You are weird today."

Summary
Hirrus Callabryn is cursed. Afflicted. Infected.
He’s also aware. For once.
After a player-led event turns his once peaceful town into a band of ravenous monsters, Hirrus obtains a sentience usually unobtainable by non-player characters. It might be a gift of the gods, or a mistake, but Hirrus doesn’t care. It means he can track down and find the players responsible and stop them from doing it again.
Thing is, players don’t like their plans being interrupted. And in this game, there’s no resurrection until the weekly reset. Will Hirrus be able to cut a path of destruction across the land to get his revenge, or will the players be able to overwhelm him and bring him to justice?
