madimpossibledreamer | Miss Murder (Stands So Far Series)

I apologize for taking this long to send along my notes, and hope a digital copy suffices for your records. I am largely unfamiliar with the methods of shipping physical copies of documents securely. On the other hand, I can be almost completely sure that this delivery will not be compromised, as breaking through both my magical and cybersecurity measures would be almost impossible, at least at the present time. At a more opportune moment, I would be more than happy to help meet any digital needs of the Speedwagon Foundation or International Slayers’ and Watchers’ Council, as, I’m sure, would my colleagues. I’d even be willing to do so in an act of charity, though would not be upset with the company of a nice bottle of alcohol as I work.

For the moment, I am sure while the delay might be unfortunate, the circumstances are understandable. While not truly regretful of her actions, young Pixie has shown no inclinations to continue her serial killing, and I have had a hand in keeping an eye on the young lady from several of my visiting colleagues, though, of course, they cannot be away from their own duties forever.

If this were usual circumstances, I would turn her over to the police and speak on her behalf at the trial. Not, of course, that murder is a sin that should be ignored, nor that it does not leave a stain on her heart. But she is still a child, however prolific her killing. I am told your Foundation has dealt with similar cases in the past, and would like to be of assistance, because while I do not believe she regrets her actions or possibly ever will, I do believe she could have a change of heart, or at least, that she could be convinced not to believe her Stand quite so much.

It took me a while to read through the various files of unsolved murder cases I suspect to be her doing, and will provide as useful a summary as I can.

Miss Murder

Stand User: Pixie “Cooper”

(While I am capable of hacking the records to find the names of her adoptive parents, who are surely among her victims, she insists on being known by the same last name as her older ‘sister’.)

Power: S

Speed: C

Range: C

Durability: B

Precision: D

Potential: B

Miss Murder, or Murr, as Pixie likes to call her, looks almost perfectly like a friendly rabbit. The Stand has three red eyes, though, though it can keep one eye closed to blend in, and acts nothing like the prey animal a regular rabbit would be, practically taunting others to take action against it. It is unclear whether it is taunting others to do something ‘bad’ and thus become a target or simply finds doing so amusing. Its fur is normal, however, and touching or petting it has no ill effects.

The Great Disappointment-This is mere speculation on my part, since young Pixie refuses to tell me and I suspect she might not even know, but Miss Murder seems to be able to read a person’s past. Unlike Pixie, I do not believe that the Stand is an impartial judge in its ability to discern ‘good’ from ‘evil’, as those are very complex and messy concepts to read, and likewise suspect that the Stand might be searching for excuses to kill, but cannot be certain.

File 13-Likewise, it does not appear that past tragedies in a location are chosen at random, since the bloodier or well-known are usually but not always selected. I have encountered valid claims of location psychometry and suspect that the Stand is able to see the past history of a location and discern which tragedy it wishes to use.

I Hope You Suffer-Both of the two known active uses of Miss Murder’s power have the ability to be destructive, though as could be guessed by the name of the power, I Hope You Suffer focuses more strongly on destroying the individual, while Now The World affords more possibility of escape. Both bring out the past tragedy of a place (Pixie calls them ‘sins’). I Hope You Suffer tends to focus on more single person crimes that happened in a particular location, such as recreating a murder, focused on a single person that Miss Murder has deemed ‘bad’.

Now The World-Now The World recreates larger-scale tragedies of a location, such as accidents and natural disasters. They still can do horrible damage, though interestingly repairing the damage to a location is much easier than saving people affected by the power.

In addition, I suspect that she hasn’t spent much time investigating her powers, believing that to be Miss Murder’s choice, not her own, since she believes every single person targeted by her Stand deserves that cruelty. She claims that Miss Murder brought her sister to her (and is devastated by her loss), a fact that by anyone else might be dismissed as the ramblings of a distraught little girl. Stands and powers exist. She might be able to bring ghosts back and tie them to a location or object, or be able to manifest good as well as evil. I have not, however, spoken to her about these musings, as I gathered it would be better for this to be done in a setting with a professional at dealing with Stands should something go awry.
