So it's finally happened. You tried to have a normal conversation with a white woman, and it ended with her dismembered into seventeen pieces on the floor of an apartment. Maybe it was a brief attack of anemia that convinced you that you were no longer in real life, and therefore this was acceptable. Maybe it was the drugs that did that instead. Maybe you take the drugs for the anaemia? Or maybe not. Maybe your sister knows something. Maybe the number of maids in your house is not what you think it is. Maybe you have a brother. Or maybe not. Maybe she has a brother? Maybe. But it doesn't matter. The point is, now you've lost it. You know you can kill.
Or maybe not.
I lived, bitch.
We're going to play a game, Shiki. Before you, you see a gojūon table.

This is Elimination Shiritori, Shiki. This isn't a kid's game. The rules of this game are simple. One partner says a Japanese word. The opponent responds with another word beginning with the kana that ended the previous word. Every time a particular kana is used to begin a word, it is eliminated from the table. This means that it can no longer be used as a root kana, and if your word ends with an eliminated kana, you lose the game. You also lose the game if you end your word with ん, as usual.
For gameplay purposes the voiced versions of kana are considered identical to the regular ones. This means that a word ending in た, for example, can be responded to with a word beginning with だ, and vice versa. It also means that if は, for example, is eliminated, then ば and ぱ are also removed from play. You can still use eliminated kana in the middle of words, just not at the end.
We're going to play Shiritori. You're going to play Shiritori, for your life.
As is traditional, we begin Shiritori from the word 'shiritori' itself. Therefore we start with り.
ARCUEID'S MOVE:
りゅうがくせい留学生
"exchange student"
り HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. THE NEXT ROOT KANA IS い.
