You're a bit slow, aren't you? Fine, fine, I'll give you some more hints.

First, remember, for our dear first five monsters, you need to fulfill a special requirement to kill them during the day. I won't tell you their specific requirements yet--you haven't even figured out who they are, I bet!--but I will tell you this:

If I was a monster so repulsive even I wanted to stop myself, I would need ... before I could stop.

And now, for the identities! Here are some clues for you to figure out!

The Laughing Monster's powers as plain as you can see
Are what he feels and what he is and who he longs to be

The Apathetic Monster never more wants for a sword
With speed unparalleled, it'll find its enemies gored

From blood comes the fire in the Crying Monster's veins
'Tis utterly powerless otherwise, or so the world does deign

Dearest Screaming Monster, what curses do you see?
Whose puppet strings direct this terrifying prophecy?

The Growling Monster on borrowed time lives on
Though borrowed time is stopped once it is called upon

((Ruana will not be replying to this post, but you can reply to each other and use it to try and figure out who's who.))

The thing is... to end it, we're going to have to do some things that might not be... pleasant.

[And that's what she's worried about, really. She doesn't want to kill people, but she knows there are times when it's necessary. This is definitely one of those times.]

...I just hope they understand.

There is nothing pleasant about this place. If they don't know that already then they will soon enough.

[Sephiroth has no qualms in doing the necessary. In fact, if anyone gave him the who and the how to kill them he'd be hunting them down right now. Personally.]

that's fine, but there's another issue if we're to play this game. as far as i know only these first monsters have identifiers of any sort and even then that's only in their abilities and these clues.

what of those who might have been turned after the game began?

That's a good question. It... might be possible to do if we study their behavior.

Someone said earlier that there was a pair of monsters working together, right? One of them had powers that they mentioned, but the other didn't... it may have been one that became a monster after the game began.

So if we can find out who the first is, and can look at who might be close enough to them... without any other identifiers it might be hard, but we may be able to find where to start.

At the very least, if anyone is willing to take the risk, we can find our suspects during the day and... tail them until nightfall.

Or, conversely find the more powerful monsters during the night and tail them until daytime.

Right, then we could just kill them right away in the morning if they don't catch on to us following and kill us first sometime during the night. But what about the "special requirement" Ruana mentioned?

Turn it into a question? They have to die even if they aren't a starter.

That's true...

There's still too much we don't know. This is annoying. I wish Ruana would give us a little more to work with.
