"Prepare, one and all
Here is the first haunting clue
Written in Haiku.

I wonder if this
Person can be a loser;
They are on my list.

Perhaps they shouldn’t
Brag about all this; Their neck
Is my target now."

Answer: Lucky Loquacious

Reasoning: The second stanza refers to someone who can't lose, as in gambling. The third stanza refers to bragging, which is similar to loquaciousness (talkative.)

“Are you scared yet, folks?
This haiku’s the second clue
Only for Round Two.

My next trick shall be
Sneaking up behind this person
And will astound all.

Just so you know, folks
This person’s below average
I will hit them hard.”

Answer: Backyard Bottomslash

Reasoning: The second stanza refers to sneaking behind this person, as in their backyard. The third stanza refers to being below average (bottom) and hitting (slash).

“I am still thirsty
Another haiku is here
For chilling round three

This person will be
Quite flustered with me when they
Can’t do what they want.

I hate their habit;
To give a symbol of ‘love’
Even when rotting.”

Answer: Raging Ratscrew

Reasoning: In the second stanza, being flustered refers to rage. In the third stanza, rotting refers to rats and giving a symbol of love refers to 'screwing.' The purpose of quotation marks around the word 'love' was to lead you to believe that the 'love' was questionable, which is mainly what separated this answer from being Frantic Filigree, as well as the 'rotting' part.

“Are you all depressed?
My clues are hard, but really.
Here is the fourth one!

This one’s blind, like all.
Lots of things are cloudy.
Some things you can’t see.

Ah, but I rant so.
This person’s speech is quite soft.
Can it protect them?”

Answer: Futuristic Fustian

Reasoning: The second stanza refers to seeing the future. The third stanza makes a reference to a Fustian, which is a type of fabric used in old-timey menswear. Being "soft" and questioning if it could "protect" them leads to this.

“Death is attractive
To a psychopath like me.
Round five, anyone?

For all the noise that
This person is making here
It’s admirable.

They somehow make it
Sound like sweet music to all.
A shame they will die.”

Answer: Rambunctious Rapport

Reasoning: The second stanza refers to someone being loud, i.e. rambunctious. The third stanza refers to them sounding like music, which is harmonious, and harmoniousness is the definition of rapport.

“Here it is, chickies;
The sixth and final clue
For the last victim.

I think this person
Must travel a lot to be
So dirty and worn.

I wish this person
Would stop their dramatic rant;
They’ll stop soon enough.”

Answer: Smoggy Soliloquy

Reasoning: The second stanza refers to someone being covered in dirt, as in traveling through smog. The third stanza refers to a soliloquy, which is a bit like a solo rant used in dramatic plays.
