CRAU MURDERGAME MEME

THE CRAU MURDERGAME (And Mafia) MEME

You wake up somewhere new. And unlike your first go-around, you know what's happening this time.

This might be your second - third, fourth time in a murdergame. Maybe you had even hosted one, or ran it yourself. You recognize some of your fellow captives, and even the ones you don't seem to have emerged from similar situations.

Either way, you know the drill by now: you're trapped aboard an allegedly haunted school that's floating about in space, and your legion of hosts (an odd collection of characters, which may include but is not limited to: a robot bear, a male voice that only speaks via the intercom, a horrible abomination fast food mascot, a terrifying lich(?), Neil Patrick Harris and an eerily familiar celebrity who's incredibly famous out in space) then suddenly get told that there's only one way to escape, and that's by one thing alone: murder.

Been there, done that.

Each time a murder happens, there's going to be an investigation, and then a trial. Naturally, more often than not, you have to find the culprit or else. Hope that it all comes back to you.

(This meme is intended for CRAU characters and NPCs from previous murdergames (Dangan Roleplay, Foolish Mortals, Trustfell, Parasomnia, Curtains, etc), mafia/murder PSLs/other games (Nope's Peak, Newlydead Game, EpicMafia, etc) and characters from canons that center around "killing games" (Dangan Ronpa, CLUE, Willy Wonka, Hunger Games, etc).

MURDERGAME TYPE:

1. Investigative. This type of murdergame relies on having specific culprits per trial, each one handpicked as a culprit or victim.
2. Mafia. Specific characters are chosen to be either a group of killers or a single killer from the very beginning. Other roles may also be given to other characters, such as Doctor, Gunsmith, etc.
3. Hunger Games. No trials. No investigations. No downtime. Just an all-out bloodbath. May the odds be ever in your favor.

PROMPTS:

1. Welcome to Hell, Enjoy Your Stay! You've only just woken up, but immediately, you panic. Thankfully, you're not alone, and some of these people are unfamiliar to you - but all of you are terrified.
2. So How About that Murder? You've just been told by your Legion of Hosts that "hey, you've got to kill to survive" and immediately, we're back on your bullshit.
3. MOOOOOOTIVE! It's been quite some time and your mastermind is pretty much sick and tired of all of this fluffy and sweetness to the point that they've put their hands down and decided that they've got to do something about it. But what's it going to be this week?
4. So Do You Want To Be A Mole? Probably not, but it seems that whoever is overseeing your game thinks that you'd be great to be the game's spy.
5. Roles, Roles, Roles! Specific to the Mafia set up, sometimes you're given a specific role. Maybe you can pass out weapons or guns to people. Or perhaps you can speak to the dead. Maybe you can block someone from killing for the evening. Whatever it is, you're special. Just make sure not to get killed. (For ideas on roles, feel free to utilize this list here!)
6. So you're Mafia now, eh? You are one of the elite. The ones chosen to vote for who dies each week. Whether it's by choice or by chance, you've got a dirty job to do and you have to do it... or else. But hey, at least you're not alone! You've got some buddies to help you do the work with you.
7. What's that? Somehow, somewhere, you've managed to find some sort of machine that takes a special kind of coin and pops out some sort of item? Who knows.
8. Free Time Events Throughout the week, you're free to do as you please, so what are you going to do, even with the threat of murder hanging over your heads? Might as well get to know your fellow captives, right?
9. Kill or Be Killed Whether you're mafia or just a solo killer, it's time to start your murder on! There's plenty of ways to do it. So how's it gonna be done this time?
10. IT'S INVESTIGATION TIME! Ding dong bing bong, a body has been discovered! Whether or not you'll actually find any clues, however, to who did it might be a bit of a toughie.
11. Let's figure this out The trial starts and everyone's eyes are on everyone else. Whether you're given a list of suspects or not, there's a killer to catch! But will you catch the right one? Or scapegoat someone else entirely innocent?
12. I remember...! In some murder games, memories are key. Every Sunday, you remember something from your past that you've somehow forgotten. But why was it lost in the first place? And why are you remembering it now, all of a sudden? It is a mystery, truly.
13. And the mastermind is-? Is it truly someone outside of the group? Or perhaps it was one of your friends after all? It's time to finally finish this, solve all the mysteries, defeat the evil twisted things, maybe get the Golden End and go home.
14. WILDCARD Anything else that I'm missing? JUST JAM AND PLAY IT OUT!

Anybody, but... uh, Space Jail? Was that some mission or something I wasn't there for? I've kinda been stuck filing instead of going in the field lately. Boring, boring...

[toomanybaseballs]

[He blinks in confusion.]

Wha? What mission? I got abducted by aliens who brought me back to life for some messed up game show set in prison!

[... Wait. He should have worded that better.] ... I know that sounds crazy, but I swear that's what happened!

[mopocalypse]

Wait, what? I didn't hear anything about that! If there were another game, we'd definitely have found out! It's been years and we still search for signs just in case!

[toomanybaseballs]

HAH?! Woah, woah, woah! Hold up! You're saying you're part of some group that stops these things from happening?

Where the hell were you?! We have this Space Entertainment company called InterGal 7 that's run four seasons of that show already!

[mopocalypse]

What? I saw you guys the other day, this is... ohhhh no, don't tell me this is another one of those time things again like in that rock town.

[toomanybaseballs]

Really? 'Cause I've never seen you before in my life...

... Wait, rock town?

[mopocalypse]

Yeah, a town where we basically turned into rocks, sorta. Me and Dr. Kimishima and Mr. Dr. Kimishima, Maya-tan was there for a little while... I told Dave-kun and Meri-Meri about it when I showed up at this place they were at for a while.

[Wait. The same place where Senpai hadn't remembered any of them. Maybe it was the case for this guy, too.]

Uh. Wait. You've never seen me at all? What about all those other people?

[toomanybaseballs]

[What was this girl talking about...?]

Like, whoever it was you just mentioned? Not ringing a bell at all. I just know the guys from Space Jail, some of the other people who died in that show, and the kids from my school. And maybe Blaze Dudley and the other guy.

quotations=English

[mopocalypse]

Waaait. Someone's actually called Blaze Dudely? Did they name themselves that? Like, their actual name was Bob and they decided, "I'm going to reinvent myself! No more boring life! Not even in 'jail of murder friends' where you supposedly were some time!"

[toomanybaseballs]

... That was the guy running our round. Dunno about his name.

[In space, no one will question why your name sounds like it belongs to a cheesy 90's cartoon.]

[mopocalypse]

Whoa. And... no evil children, right? With or without their souls turned into jewel eggs that they stick into Monobear eyes? I mean, that was just the one, but she was pretty bad.

[toomanybaseballs]

... What.

[That made no sense.]

He had robots. And was a space pirate.

[mopocalypse]

No evil cats? Please no evil cats. I'm pretty sure those were aliens.

[toomanybaseballs]

[....]

[mopocalypse]

No evil cats. Okay. Uh, if you ever see something and your first thought is, "Why does it have ears coming out of its ears," your second thought should be, "Run away." Wait, we were talking about something, weren't we? I think it was that other-world stuff where sometimes there's more than one version of a person and it's really messed up and I kinda doodled on the handouts instead of listening when they were talking about it...

[toomanybaseballs]

[Leon don't know nothin' bout four eared kitties, but the mention of alternate worlds does make something click in his brain.]

Wait, other worlds? You mean you're from an alternate universe or something?

[mopocalypse]

I mean, I kind of already was, 'cause someone built a wormhole machine to try and get his classmates out of stasis and it sort of snowballed from there. Don't ask me to tell the whole story, because I keep forgetting parts.

[toomanybaseballs]

... [Okay. Just rolling off this.]

Yeah, Toko Fukawa was in Space Jail too, and she didn't mention any wormhole stuff. So, maybe I'm from an alternate universe where that guy didn't build a wormhole to get his classmates outta stasis. Or something.

[mopocalypse]

Which means they're still stuck there, that other world didn't blow up France, and what's-its-ears didn't show up... whoa. It's like one of those butterfly time things off TV.

[toomanybaseballs]

You blew up France?!

[He is so confused. This is what happens when you get sent to space jail?]

I mean... Yeah! It is. I think. And FYI, Toko managed to get out of Junko's game and go somewhere else, so that's good.

[mopocalypse]

I didn't blow up France! Prince Lion-Face blew up France! And they rebuilt it, mostly, anyway.

[toomanybaseballs]

[What. Just... What.]

... Okay, good to hear.

Your universe sounds wild.

[mopocalypse]

"Life is mystery!" That's English for something really profound.

Uh... I should probably say it's nice to meet you, since I technically haven't met you, huh. I'm Saigusa Haruka! They call me the Super High School Level Repair Girl.

[toomanybaseballs]

Huh, I'll have to ask someone about that one.

Haruka, huh? Well, my name's Leon Kuwata. Super High School Level Baseball Star, and Champion Target. Nice to meet you too, I guess.

[mopocalypse]

Two titles? Oh, right, 'cause two games, right? That's just cruel, cruel.

[This finally brings her back to their situation...]

Oh, right, uh. You have no idea where we are, right? Because I don't either, and I have a really bad feeling about this.
