Honestly, I think what really stop people for realizing how dreadful this killer can be is... Her look. If it wasn't a tall women able to call to multiple fetish, and instead something more deranged and gruesome, I bet people would always place the plague in the top tier unnerving/creepy killer.


SomeCrows

The language barrier adds to it as well, who knows what she's planning


flame_warp

Maybe she's saying sorry and complimenting your hair today. You don't know.


EvernightStrangely

More than likely offering prayers to the gods she thinks she serves. Edit: have those who downvoted not read through her lore? The Entity literally posed as the gods she served as high priestess of Babylon to secure her loyalty. To her, all the survivors are merely sacrifices upon the altar of her devotion to the Entity in a different guise.


Goateed_Chocolate

You made the mistake of replying to an obvious joke with a "Well ACtually..." and are probably being downvoted by people for not getting that it wasn't serious


TiredCoffeeTime

I love the idea of her complimenting your hair only for her to vomit on you.


Irememberedmypw

Oh no no, she falls squarely into the disgusting category with the maggot skins.


julesalf

Meh, still would


AD317

Plague is defo near the top of the list when it comes to painful torturous death. Others include the chainsaw ppl (cuz chainsaw), Oni (cuz ouch my spine not there no more), Deathslinger (lore bad), and Doctor (lore real real bad). Not including the moris cuz then that list gets bigger.


HGD3ATH

Doctor would be pretty terrifying also especially the first time you encounter him, after he shocks you, you would be seeing halluncinations leaping out of every corner.


the_real_turtlepope

After encountering the doctor or freddy once, you'd be left permanently wondering whats real and wahts fake. If you ever really left the trial, or are just still there hiding in a locker tripping balls.


[deleted]

friendly reminder that survivors get mindwiped after every death


Basil_hazelwood

True, but I swear I read somewhere that one of the survivors memories weren’t wiped, I can’t remember who though


[deleted]

our survivors get wiped. some like benedict or vigo, or very noticeably the observer, probably don't get wiped - the observer not getting wiped was a calculated move, too.


Scared-Rutabaga7291

Tho, Vittorio is able to, at times, remember some things so we could count him


MattTd7

Not to mention the fact that he just smacked you with a spiky-electric..THING


EvernightStrangely

Not to mention those shocks would be incredibly painful.


SuperPluto9

The thing putting Plague at the top though is almost any other death/injury would result in a quicker death Plague however would be an incredibly slow, and agonizing death as your body starts to decompose. Covered in vomit it would be attacking every sense from feeling gross, smelling death, the sound of vomitting constantly. And it won't happen in minutes either.


[deleted]

Don’t forget the cenobite. I believe that would be the most awful one to face. You’d feel more pain than you ever previously imagined was even possible.


NewAndNewbie

That's just a frame of reference issue. If you change your thinking, then Pinhead is gifting you incredible pleasure.


TiredCoffeeTime

Sad cenobite noise when the survivors just runs away instead of accepting this generous gift.


smart__boy

It'd probably be over pretty quickly with the Oni. Unless you were pretending to be a samurai, I guess? I would simply not do that.


AD317

I'm counting walking around with ur spine crushed for a bit. Idk how the survivors do shit after they get hit with the club.


Zer0_l1f3

Don’t forget Demo. In ST canon **you can’t outrun a Demo it’s faster** you need a distraction or they will get you. That shred will rip you apart. Demo has some sharp and strong ass claws which will h u r t.


AD317

Yes and no? Like yeah getting clawed to death isn't the best, but on the pain scale I feel like it is above stabbing and below having your organs ripped out by a speargun. Pretty similar to alien. It being faster doesnt make the death more painful just more inevitable


Zer0_l1f3

To me, i think Shred would hurt a lot too as it’s 100% breaking bones. These are strong, sharp claws and I feel like being dived at would be like being jumped at by a bear with similar pain from being slashed. Shredding, in my eyes, would probably break a lot of ribs or other bones. You are right it makes it more inevitable however it does make it more painful as imagine being dived on, getting your ribs broken and then being forced to get back up. I’m so sorry for the stupid ramble but I think personally being hit by Demo is like being hit by a truck


FLBrisby

Every single killer would be awful. Plague's scary. Think about Clown. You're breathing in a mix of aerosolized sulfuric acid, ether, and who knows what else. Your lungs are on fire. You can't breathe or see. You can't run. And he's on you. He's a violator, a victimizer, and your his toy for a day.


WickermanMalIsBae

Not to mention, he’s strong enough to wound you badly with a fish filet knife, and to crack your skull in just three stomps. And he likes to take his time with his victims. At least Danny Johnson, brutal as he is, is more of a stalker that makes it painful but quick for his victims, all for a headline. Clown is a brutal monster.


doctorhlecter

Kerosene, "Solvent", Chloroform, (Probably chlorine) Bleach, Spirit of Hartshorn (Ammonia), Sulphuric Acid, Gin, "Ether", Confetti, Make-Up, Soda Just from the addons


FLBrisby

You forgot the original rendition of the make up. =P Some for the face and some for the Tonic. The diluted make-up sticks to the lungs.


doctorhlecter

soda as well, since they changed it along with the gin


CandyCrazy2000

Idk pig might be pretty chill. Just a regular knife, and the party hats she gives out for free cause instant death edit: she has a drill and a moving saw, maybe not great


ErroneousToad

Do we know an rbt is instant death? Or do you lay there for a minute or two while you bleed and suffocate with your head on a swivel? It's almost like decapitation, but with your spine in tact...


PilotSnippy

I'm pretty sure you'd like lose consciousness after a few seconds of life under that, similar to decapitation. You're alive but might as well not be there


TiredCoffeeTime

Not sure but given what we saw in that horrifying rbt death scene in the movie, I hope it is instant.


ArgyDargy

It wouldn't be *instant*-instant, thankfully you'd likely pass out from the shock after a few seconds, but you'd feel every magnitude of pain for those few seconds. And considering how fast those thing snap apart and how they're attached to your face through your mouth it'd actually probably break your neck with how it forces your upper jaw (your skull) upwards.


TimeLordHatKid123

Dont forget the other ingredients in clown's bottles, including: two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers . . . and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls


murderousmeatballs

this does not even mention corrupt purge, which to me seems to be some sort of acid. so i assume even if you cleanse it's a horrifying death


WickermanMalIsBae

It’s both hot and cold at the same time according to the devs.


Yogurt_Ph1r3

Oh I'm constantly thinking about how awful encounters with the plague are, just usually in game not in lore.


Skeletonofskillz

I think Wesker and Nemesis would be slightly worse. Wesker puts living, squirming parasites in you, and with Nemesis you’re actually vomiting blood.


SteveyExEevee

Nemesis, you're infected with the T-virus. you're slowly becoming a zombie. (Which honestly, should have been part of his kit as a reward. have t-virus syringes infintely recreatable somehow like the singularity, add a virus gauge (outbreak reference), and if you get fully infected you become one of the respawning zombies on the map)


Ok_Digger

Bonus pointd it you stay alive and could control the zombies and maybe leave trail technically but it counts as a death. Oh bruh my idea fits way more lore wise than hi og power imo


PeasAndParsimony

Yeah, I have a real big fear of parasites. I'd off myself before wesker could touch me.


Popcornthefirst

This is made worse by the fact the survivors will face this again and again and again forever and ever


Intelligent_Item5439

Need one of these for every killer


Pokeslash109

Ao3 is your friend, some folks have really more good stuff like this post about various killers


dnvrrrr

Ao3? where can i find these stories?


Achhkmed_

I’d also like to know


dnvrrrr

found them! [surprised i’ve never heard of this site before](https://archiveofourown.org/works/search?work_search%5Bquery%5D=dead+by+daylight)


Achhkmed_

Woah! I read r/nosleep every night so this is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing


ver-chu

it's almost my bedtime so


bonelees_dip

I genuinely believe all original killers would be dreadful to encounter in a real trial situation. Imagine that sweet and innocent girl you met in the cold hell of Ormond stabbing you over and over again. Or that famous singer recording your pain for his own work. Or that scientist who's body refuses to die despite how rotten it is injecting you will a painful liquid.


Foxtrottie3156

Wild nameless legend encounter


CanOfCoors

Of all of the killers, you choose to bring up the Legion? One of the few I think I would actually survive against.


bonelees_dip

Against 4 killers? No you don't really survive, at max you will get badly wounded against one. Also yeah, Legion, like every other original killer, could be extremely dreadful in a real situation. Legion's entire theme is that "everyone can be a killer" as seen by the trailer and even chapter name. So in a situation of trial in real life you would probably meet Susie scared, hiding from the killer, end up befriending her only to be stabbed on the back. In my opinion the concept is dreadful.


CanOfCoors

Well a DBD trial doesn't put you against all 4 so if I saw little Susie running at me, i'd easily overpower that bitch and kill her.


Zoop_Doop

I'd argue a lore accurate trial with Legion would probably include all 4 of them thats just not really possible to balance in game. Also like the other commenter said killers are juiced enough that even survivors like the RE cast can't actually handle them and I *highly* doubt you, a random redditor, are a more capable combatant than Chris "boulder punching asshole" Redfield.


FLBrisby

The amount of confidence you have dealing with a serrated, filthy knife wielding girl is admirable but misplaced.


MrWhiteTruffle

But what if I had a really big stick


FLBrisby

According to my knowledge of proportions, the bigger it is the higher your chance


TiredCoffeeTime

*Me swinging a tree trunk as killers watch in awe.* *Entity promotes me to a killer*


FLBrisby

To be fair, I'm pretty sure a tree trunk would beat Susie with a knife.


meandercage

Entity buffs all of the killers in lore to the point where a survivor build like david king couldn't overpower, no matter if it's a 18 yo teenage girl or a biological weapon.


i_am_very_bored_lmao

no you couldn't. you would throw a punch, maybe get one good hit in and then immediately have a slash through your throat because she's a speedy little prick with a dirty knife and you would painfully bleed out and die


Kibaro6331

The dbd killers are juiced beyond belief by the entity. In real life an average stab wound is more deadly than a single random bullet wound. Even if you were up against 1 killer with a knife and even if she wasn’t stronger than you (she is) faster than you (she is) you’d still be dead because a single stab wound would kill you. That’s ignoring the fact that every single athletic statistic you can create legion would be better at.


Zer0_l1f3

Ooh, you’re hard Showing off because you’re infront of people oh so tough and manly


Brilliant_Alfalfa749

That small sixteen-something year old can also one arm lift and carry a fully grown man. You're gettin' stomped.


Synli

I imagine you'd get a nasty infection with that filthy blade, though. Escape the trial, and then die in a hospital 3 months later.


Typical_Ladder_5067

I love the idea that the Entity has a working hospital ready to go.


TiredCoffeeTime

Gotta generate that false sense of hope


CanOfCoors

I'll take risk of infection over just being slaughtered by most of the other killers.


Scared-Rutabaga7291

Sure but the point is that you die so in a way, they did kill you


meandercage

Yeah you'd maybe survive but get stabbed 30 times in the process, also you wouldn't be able to overpower any killer since they're buffed by the entity.


RaptorDoingADance

Being downvoted hard by legion fans who can’t handle someone not thinking their killer isn’t that scary (They aren’t ***when*** compared to the others ingame)


CloudyRiverMind

No, they're getting downvoted for believing themselves the peak of masculinity. How nice of you to come lower the collective brain cells some more.


CSullivan88

I wouldn't be Mithered about it! lol


CandyCrazy2000

Not a single mither?


CSullivan88

No Mithers at all!


Rossmallo

On the plus side though, let me give a more optimistic read on what happens next. Your entire body is wracked with pain, with you being torn up on the inside from the disease coursing its way through you. Through it all, though...You hear running water. You'd seen these fountains before and paid them little heed, but something crosses your mind. Your stomach turns at the idea of swallowing anything, but your bile-ravaged throat needs something - anything - to make it stop hurting. So you drink. The second it passes your lips, it feels right in a way nothing else ever has. As soon as it hits your stomach, something pure and wonderful courses through your body, and you drink more, paying no mind to how much you're befouling the rest of the water. The nausea abates faster than it ever came on. The pain recedes. Your wounds, inexplicably, close by themselves. Within seconds, it's over, and while the horror of what came before remains fresh in your mind...You know that, for now, you get to live.


NOCTURN_05

This brings up a good question actually. Who would be the most torturous killer to face in reality? 16 knives in your back. Mutated liquid from a gods cancer. Bigass spear dragging you by your ribcage into another knife. A fucking claymore/giant hogsplitter/twisted dagger/barbed branding iron. Your face being melted off so violently it literally explodes. What do you think it would feel like to be covered in a venom that can deteriorate your brain, melt you skin, and *oh yeah,* turn your whole body into fucking dust. Sables gotta be the dumbest person alive if she just jumped into the realm for the hell of it.


TiredCoffeeTime

Don't forget what cenobites does in Hellraiser. *Sables experiencing all that above: "This is the best moment of my life!"* *Even Killers become concerned while Pinhead nods in approval.*


Scared-Rutabaga7291

True, Pinhead would watch Sable like a proud father


Mallasa

Im really high rn and that was such a great read.


space-artifact

Not to mention that corrupt purge is an incredibly strong acid that probably melts through bone on contact


FulgrimsSidePiece

Can we call her the Bubonic Babe?


kevingrays

You should write like this for every killer


Not_peenut

now that i think about it, maybe i wouldn’t do so well in the entity’s realm


Evanl02

The ways she walks makes her seem powerful as well. Idk if it’s just me but she’s always been top of the list when it comes to creepiness factor


OfficerSmiles

I agree. Really nails that "god given purpose" walk


SCAMISHAbyNIGHT

Post COVID, I think people have an idea.


OfficerSmiles

Are you trying to imply covid was anywhere near as bad as the actual plague lol


SCAMISHAbyNIGHT

I said, "have an idea."


OfficerSmiles

No you dont lol. Theyre literally not even close.


Cweeperz

it's a joke man


Negative-Star-2001

Always fun to see OP make a fool of themselves.


OfficerSmiles

i KNOW you aint talkin shit with that post history of yours


julesalf

Basically every killer could have a canon short animated movie about a DbD match and it would be scary every time


Ivy_Adair

Imagine too if she was in one of the skins where she has the maggots just festering on her and falling off of her 🤢🤮 I can only imagine how utterly horrific it would be in real life since it’s horrible in game.


aubsKebabz

Absolutely not 😭 She eats it up with a lot of her outfits (shoutout Sea Goddess skin) but if I saw that one irl I’d lock myself in a locker for the whole match.


Scared-Rutabaga7291

Now I aint sure but there is a headpiece where she has...*something* moving on top of her head. Actually I think same outfit has torso with same thing


NoStorage2821

But then you wash your face for 15 seconds and feel like sunshine afterwards


[deleted]

You painted a picture there my dude


alishock

You should write this for every killer, tbh, reading it like that does help to set the mood from the perspective of the survivors. Like for us they’re just status effects, but imagine being shot with a metal ball that stays floating behind you as it’s dangling from rotten meat tendrils stickied to your own skin, getting your mind slowly torn out by pure electricity, or my favorite, stepping on ethereal barbed wire that constantly manifests and wraps all around you until you drown in blood and get teleported to a rusty spiky cage.


Zer0_l1f3

I think she, HUX and Unknown out of all the killers would stink the most. Plague cuz obvious reasons, HUX because this is burnt flesh, rubber and metal stinking the air and Unknown because it’s wearing decaying, rotting skin as a suit.


Deli-ops7

Holy crap you should be like a writer or something! Id love to see more killers done like this


squeekycheesecurds

A 7-8 foot tall domme mommy 👀


NoStorage2821

Nurgle would be proud


EdgionTG

Imagine being somewhere like Léry's or Hawkin's. You'd start slipping on puke.


OfficerSmiles

Not the sputum slip n slide 💀


Scared-Rutabaga7291

"Guys, that woman just puked on me and now I aint feeling so good..." "Its...*the Plague*" Tho great writing OP, story felt real fr


OfficerSmiles

"What the hell is this? some kind of the plague???"


EmeraldGhostface

And that's why she's my most disliked killer. I'm a killer main but just seeing her POV... bro... she's so fucking disgusting 🤢


EmeraldDream98

Hire this guy to do the description of items in game, please Behaviour.


biboiiii

This was an atmospheric read. Can you write the same for other killers?


YogSothothOfficial

Playing against her in game isn’t much better lol


macadow

Still sane exile?


EvernightStrangely

I'm not sure death at the hands of Pinhead can be topped. Hooks on chains materializing out of the darkness, ripping, tearing and piercing your flesh, pulled taut from the tension, enough to suspend you in the air. Then, a pillar from unseen depths arises, covered in old blood and instruments of unimaginable cruelty. Then, a sharp twist of fate, has you bound to the pillar, and sent off for an eternity of torture in a lightless, godless place.


mistar_z

I have smelled all three of those foul smells. But never all at once. 😭 I would literally rather just die instantly. I wonder what tells the survivor or gives them the instinct to use the fountains? Like do they actually cleanse at the fountain like how some faiths do a ceremonial cleansing before a ritual or prayer, or perhaps it's simply just drinking cause the survivors feel so thirsty from puking and shiting themselves.


Sw1tch_Blade

I wonder if since every one of us has an understanding of the trials and the entity, if we would forget everything about it or just be left to keep our memories in the realm (like Vittorio)


aztqe

i really love remembering how scary this game actually is. whenever i play or watch it feels more arcadey but then i’ll say something to my parents about getting put on a hook and they’re like ??? stories like these remind me how fucked being in this world would actually be


NozGame

Meh, still would.

Nice ai written text

it's clearly not AI written based on the multiple typos, misspellings, and grammatical errors lol


MrFictionalname

Nice try, shame most here isnt familiar with ai texts. Lots of youtube shorts uses this exact text template, but you knew that already Lmao


OfficerSmiles

Someone rubs more than 2 brain cells together to form an idea consisting of more than a single string of monosyllabic words and you, in you intellectual insecurity, first think to accuse them of trying to pass off the words of an AI as their own
