So what I do is make up some bogus awards ceremony. That way I get all the best players. Plus, they will believe it because they are the best so they are used to awards. We do the awards show as normal as possible. That is not where we get them. We get them at the after party. Get them all lubed up on drinks and weed and whatever, and bam! Hit them with the laser. This is the tricky part now. You have to leave clues, not directly saying it or having pictures, but allude to maybe that everyone at the after party fucked. Everyone. Now magically no one even wants to talk about the party anymore. So it won’t even come to mind when they are trying to figure out what happened. And even if they think about the party it will be with shame. And they were all fucked up to begin with so they might not even remember the soul stealing laser.
