[UA] My game

[A C]

Well...the group does have a rather good reason to stick together...they 
were in the wrong place at the wrong time and now someone is out to make 
sure that they don't tell anyone about what they've seen. What have they 
seen you may ask? Well, they're even sure. One of them has seen a 
non-entity....but a non-entity that is trying to kill them...odd for things 
supposedly without emotions. The serial killer has been tracking the 
'vampire' and just killed someone leaving their body where the young 'vamp' 
was going to be, or the place he told the rest of the party he was.

The Uni student is trying to stay alive...while figuring out why someone is 
trying to kill them and the rich boy has been shot through the 
shoulder....and knowing the slightly warped perception he has of 
reality...revenge comes in the form of akimbo Beretta's
