#actually the biggest thing against them for realism is how much dna they’d be leaving behind

hiii!! me again!!! i know, you're probably losing it with all the asks i send diejhderfofrfnorfk

just wondering but do the slasher boys just like- pick and choose where to kill someone? or is it just "follow the dude home and kill em when nobody is looking then run away" all willy-nilly (which i doubt because cough sun cough whaatt who said that...)

omg not losing it at all 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️ silly goose. may not always have time to answer all asks (your’s or anybody else’s)… or KNOW how to answer (some of you guys are asking the hard questions… takes me a while sometimes 😝). But people sending well-meaning asks about the chars or otherwise is always welcome!

Hmm it’s hard to answer this question concisely because the reality is that their methods change depending on the situation and as they grow bolder and more experienced.

Once they’ve found a target (probably around once every few months) Moon does reconnaissance. Watching them at night, studying their schedules, looking for further evidence of their transgressions, testing locks and other methods of entry.

Earlier in their slasher careers, they would almost always go for a knock out and kidnap kinda approach. Then they would take the target (in the words of John Mulaney 😝 ) to a “secondary location” where Sun could be more assured nothing unplanned will occur, no unexpected visitors, while they carry out their devious deeds. Not to say things haven’t gone sideways and they’ve had to get creative in the moment.

The Slashers are lucky (for their purposes anyway) to live in an area with a lot of open farmland, rotted barns, woods, and decrepit industrial infrastructure nearby. Places that nobody cares about anymore or people haven’t stepped foot within in months or even years.

I haven’t done much description of the kinda of location they live in yet, but the arcade sits within a somewhat rundown small suburban town that lies at the outskirts of a larger city. Sun n Moon’s house is a bit further into the country, a few miles away.

Generally, they used to avoid doing much slashing in the target’s houses or places of work. Too much evidence to clean up, too many neighbors to overhear things. But they’ve gotten more ballsy the longer they’ve remained uncaught. They might play longer games of psychological warfare on targets, kidnap or even kill in riskier locations, dispose of evidence or the body in creative ways, even do something like release one into the woods if Moon’s feeling like a chase. All depends on the situation, like I said before.
