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!

[A GOOD CAT, A NICE CAT, AKIRA'S NEW NOPE'S PEAK BEST FRIEND]

As tempting as it is to keep petting you-- [ha. he sees how the cat is chasing his hand every time he almost pulls back] -- we do have an entire school to explore.

[cantread]

[But pettings!]

That's fair I guess. Maybe we can stop a murder from happening.

[YEP Sissel is a talking cat.]

[purrtagonist]

[listen, why do you think Akira would blink an eye at this. he in fact responds without so much of a hitch in his words]

That'd be ideal, actually.

[one more ear scratch for Sissel, before he scoops him up into his arms and lifts him to his shoulder. so he can perch there! like a good cat]

But that assumes the raccoons don't have fail safes in place to prevent us from preventing a murder.

[cantread]

[He can be the lookout!]

We'll see. They keep blocking me any time I try to talk to the dead, so they're up to something.

[purrtagonist]

[a good cat!!]

-- you can talk to the dead?

[also this seems like something important]

ghost trick spoilers ayyy

[cantread]

Normally, yes. I can go back in time and stop them from dying too. Pretty handy most of the time, but I can't do it here.

[purrtagonist]

[makes a face as he sets out down the hallway, hands slipping into his pockets]

Naturally they'd take away a helpful ability like that one.

[cantread]

I guess they don't want us saving everyone.

[Which is a pain, because Sissel likes saving everyone. There's more people to feed him then.]

So don't die, I can't bring you back right now.

[purrtagonist]

[lightly]

Well that's just too bad for them, isn't it?

[yeah guess who still has "fuck you, I still want to save everyone and I'm gonna do just that" ideals?? THIS GUY]

And I don't plan on dying. Besides, if I did, who'd scratch behind your ears if I'm gone?

[cantread]

I'm sure Akechi could manage it.

[Yep, he's saying that just to poke fun at Akira.]

[purrtagonist]

[WOW, THOSE ARE FIGHTING WORDS]

[Akira doesn't usually fall into Akechi's weird obsession with their rivalry, but this time, he totally is]

My ear scratches are way better than his.

[cantread]

[Oh boy, is he pitting humans against each other?]

Hmm...maybe I should test that out to see for sure.

[purrtagonist]

[NOOOOO]

I'm beginning to think you're saying this just to rile me up.

[cantread]

Who, me? I'm just an innocent little cat.

[He even meows to prove that point.]

[purrtagonist]

No cats are innocent.

[but that's why he likes them, it's fine]

[cantread]

I'm hurt.

[Not so hurt he won't jump off of Akira's shoulders, though.]

When was the last time I did something bad?

[purrtagonist]

[uh huh. he doesn't believe you've been hurt at all, new shoulder cat buddy]

I bet you've knocked a glass off of a nearby counter top within the past forty-eight hours.

[cantread]

I didn't!

[It was a coffe mug, thank you very much.]

[purrtagonist]

[UH HUH]

I can hear the guilt in your voice, Sissel.

[cantread]

You hear nothing.

[purrtagonist]

I hear everything. I've got sharp ears, like a-- cat.

[sure]

[that's the first simile he could think of]

[cantread]

That was a catastrophe of a pun.

[Look the cat is out-punning you.]

[purrtagonist]

I'm pawitive I could think of a better one if you let me.

[stop]

[cantread]

[He bats at Akira's head.]

That one needs to be paid for in tuna.

[purrtagonist]

[PAW TO THE FACE. he just rolls with it, like he's completely used to talking cats batting at his head like this]

I don't think you want any of the tuna in the kitchen.

[it's call canned and gross]
