[Closed; see note] Trigger Scent Hunting

who: Laura Howlett and You
what: Laura has been afflicted with the Trigger Scent - and is ready to kill.
when: Thursday, Early Friday morning, after this unsettling post
where: All across Riverview.
warnings: Violence/blood, potential death (mainly NPC).
Note: If you would like to be involved, I may be able to squeeze you in; just hit me up at [plurk.com profile] simpledog! I have a plurk here regarding this plot.

Laura isn't herself.

She doesn't really feel anything — see anything, think anything. It's more just an all-encompassing need to kill, some sort of mentally paralyzing fog where all she can think is that she needs to track and hunt. If you'd asked her, before the trigger scent was used, what this strange liquid was? She wouldn't be able to tell you. It's new information, something the scarce files Gabriela stole away didn't cover.

Too late now. 

She prowls through the city, her steps fast and her nose sniffing at the cooling air. She smells her targets. Some are stronger than others, closer by. Some are moving. Some are stationary. Whatever the case, she stops firstly by a local liquor store where a man is stumbling out with a beer in hand. She doesn't know him, and she won't remember that he's her first victim. Poor guy just got doused with the wrong thing, wrong time, wrong place. With him easily neutralized, she moves on to the next scent—

Likely one of you.

[It was all Alex could do to make the soft sound of agreement. Terrible people would do terrible things, it was who they were and what they were. Evidence of it was all around them, but in her life back home and here as well. It was something that she hated, and she hated the man who had done this to Laura all the more for it. Knowing that someone else would find him and punish him, she let out a sigh, looking around once more. There wasn't anything else Alex could do for Laura other than finding the person who sold her out and then making them pay for it.

Nodding her agreement to the statement, Alex moved towards the haphazard pile of things next to the mattress on the floor. Making sure not to actually crouch on the filthy thing, she moved next to it, and pulled out a pair of gloves, sliding them on with some difficulty because this wasn't normally something that she did. No, this was something that she would have left to the police if she had any trust for them at this point. Then with one hand on her phone for the camera function, she started to slow flip through the pile of papers. Picture, scan, move. Picture, scan move, it was an easy pattern to fall into.

Do you have a suspicion of who it is, Peggy?
