# THE KILL LEDGER: every kill in the library, one line each, so no two are ever alike The user (23 Oct 23:15): "remember make everything unique, even if we have world kit, each one modify it, or dont use that generic and use customized one ... i dont want anyone to look like 'ooh this the same movement but with different gun' ... never make any one of the kill across 750 or whatever the same". BEFORE designing a kill: read this WHOLE file (all weapons, not only yours). AFTER a kill is playable: append its line under your weapon. Line format (one line, keep the columns): `- . · · CORE: · MOTION: · CAMERA: · DEATH: · KITS: · by ` For DEATH-REALM kills add: `· REALM: · CROSSING: · RETURN: `. No realm look, crossing or return may repeat anywhere in the library. RULES: - Two kills may NOT share the same CORE, and may not share the same MOTION + CAMERA + DEATH combination. That includes kills on different weapons. - "the same movement but with a different gun" is a DUPLICATE and gets rejected; - so is "the same realm crossing with a different realm". - KIT TOOLS ARE RAW MATERIAL, never a finished look. Every use is customised for that kill: its own timing, shape, colour logic, staging and props (castInk with a gesture style and staging unique to the kill; realms built bespoke from parts, never a stock realm; organs / materials staged differently each time). If a kit's default would make two kills look alike, build a custom one in your lane file instead. - The coordinator reviews this ledger every tick and rejects duplicates. ## SMG (approved standard) - smg.the-autograph (THREE MAGS) · MYTHIC · CINEMATIC REBUILD #2 (N1, 27 Oct;

both lines run under the right ledge, inside the bolt's 30 m); "AGAIN?" he dives head first into the orange one more time · CROSSING: the frame splits into two identical panels with a hard white divider; LEFT: his copy comes down out of the blue in the hull's belly at the game's 3.6 m/s exit minimum (floor to ceiling turns 0), perfect, and swims on under the wreck; RIGHT: nothing comes out anywhere, the orange swirls empty, and the panel itself sinks down past the seabed into the black (no hole, slit or oval opens onto the realm) · REALM: THE DISCARDED: below the seabed, ranks of blank default figures to the horizon (jointed, joint markers, no face, dull grey, never pale-white, never climbing), standing motionless, revealed row by row only as the Deep's own SONAR PING (EvSonar: the beacon blinks 1.0 s, the ring sweeps 36 m in 2.4 s, lit 1.6 s, fade 1.4 s) comes down through the black; each holds a faint ghost of its old colour that drains as he sinks past; he sinks among them screaming, his purple draining to their grey, his face smoothing over mid-scream (a close inside the panel), his visor floating off, joint markers coming up on him, and settles into the gap in the front rank at attention · RETURN: the divider squeezes the realm panel (squashed) to a sliver and away; only the copy, hovering under the hull in the last of the sonar light; it turns to Faris: a smooth blank face (a mannequin's sockets under the skin, the visor still on); it goes limp and sinks stiff, tipping forward, and settles face down beside the orange in a puff of silt · FINAL IMAGE: the perfect copy face down on the seabed, every detail him but the face;

the blue opens under his boots (the slots alternate on every shot, so the ceiling goes first and the third shot can move it); he falls through again and again (the real lap times: ×0.85 per pass, gravity re-gains it, so the 14 u/s cap holds); the beanie and pistol go on lap 1 (props never transit), wind streaks, a Doppler scream, the nosebleed streaming up, his shirt shredding; Faris walks to the wall and re-fires the CEILING ORANGE onto the wall's face (the real slot replacement), low, facing the giant toaster; he goes into the counter blue at full speed and comes out of the wall horizontally at 14 u/s into the toaster's side · CAMERA: the camera rides the orange bolt up past the jars to the ceiling, a whip down to his boots for the blue, a tall follow through the loop, the flight side-on with speed lines, a crash on the toaster, the poster held, the final close on the print · DEATH: PAPER / PAINT: flattened like a wet poster (X eyes, the mouth an O), he hangs a beat, peels off from the top, folds over and drops onto the counter in a soggy sheet (no crater, no knockback impact) · GORE: XT the poster soaks red from inside, his insides burst out round the outline, a lens splat, the print drips into the crumb tray, goreCam final on the print (w 128) · VH 80% (w 148) · H a dark print · M he slams with a dark smear and slides down out cold · L he slides down, stars · VL he bounces off, the puff · FINAL IMAGE: the man-shaped print on the toaster's side where he peeled away · by M · FIX 28 Oct (NEW-4, pred OK BUT): the face-printed poster, its peel and the flat sheet are gone;
