Emily Hunt has killed two student senators and has her eyes set on another.
Her can of glow-in-the-dark Silly String always at the ready, she's foiled attempts at assassination while she prepares her next kill.
Hunt, a Progress Party senator, isn't the only one with a hit list.
Armed only with Silly String, about 50 student senators are participating in a game called Assassin.
Starting midnight last Wednesday, senators were assigned a "hit" and were told to assassinate or be assassinated.
Senate President Pro-Tempore Naadira Renfroe said she thought the game could serve as a team-building exercise.
Renfroe's game assigned each participating senator with another senator they had to "kill," which entails spraying the assigned target with Silly String until they surrender their can. When a senator is eliminated, his or her hit is assigned to the assassin who made the kill.
The rules of the game establish certain off-limit areas, such as classrooms, bathrooms and the third and second floors of the Reitz Union.
Renfroe fell victim to her own game when she was eliminated the first day.
"I guess my excuse is that three senators corroborated together to make sure I died," she said. "It just shows the teamwork that goes into being successful in this game."
This is something embraced by all three parties in the Senate, Renfroe said, with senators from each party participating in the game.
"I think the game has been very fun first of all, it's been a blast," Hunt said. "More than anything, it's a great way to connect with people I don't normally connect with."
This is the first time the Senate has played Assassin. Although the game is still on, Renfroe deems it a success and hopes to make Silly String an essential tool in Senate semesters to come.
"I hope that this is something that can be a tradition for each new session of Senate," Renfroe said.
