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!

[Hey now, Yukio's the younger twin! And Rin is definitely older now anyway, because:]

He went for Yukio, yeah. And Yukio wasn't strong enough to resist him.

[It's pretty easy to grow older than someone else after they die, after all.]

As far as the world's concerned, everything turned out alright. Satan was defeated, Gehenna didn't bleed over into Assiah, and there were very few casualties. All well and good, status quo maintained.

Of course, it's different when it's your own twin brother who has to die to save the world. It's kinda hard to see the bright side of that, you know?

[purrtagonist]

[OLDER IS WHAT I MEANT TO SAY, IGNORE MY TYPOS]

Damn it. . . Rin. . .

[jesus that's got to be miserable. Akira's expression softens, sympathy lacing every line of his features]

. . . I'm sorry.

That really does suck.

[flamingprick]

[Oh whoops, this is getting way too close to having feelings! Feelings Rin does not want to talk about at all!

So he's just. Ruffling Akira's hair. Possibly a bit roughly.]

Yeah yeah, life sucks and people die. You got my coffee yet?

[Sorry Akira, his defense mechanism is to act like he's fine and just cranky all the time.]

[purrtagonist]

[asopdijfpoad???? Akira's not used to having people ruffle his hair, so he lets out a strangled noise of surprise when Rin does so. he does lift his gaze afterwards, adjusting his glasses on his features]

[squints at Rin, before he sets about to pouring him a cup of freshly brewed coffee. SCORE]

If that's how you're approaching your feelings on the matter, then I'm allowed to say you're reminding me an awful lot of a certain someone we both know. . .

[Dazai]

[flamingprick]

Oi!

[Oh look, there's a flash of the younger Rin there for a moment.]

Give me some credit, I'm not THAT bad!

[He's not going around making pacts with people, for one.]

[purrtagonist]

[that brings back a wave of fondness, because that is absolutely the Rin he came to care about so much in their short three-week stint in murder school]

[a grin, fond and teasing]

Depends. Have you started hitting the bottle yet?

[flamingprick]

I tried it, but it tastes like shit.

[Also he needs a lot to get drunk so.]

I definitely stayed away from the weed though.

[purrtagonist]

[laughs, short and staccato but genuinely amused]

Some experiences never leave you, no matter how old you get.

[flamingprick]

Nooope.

[Oh look he's casually moving to drape his arm over Alira in a buddy-buddy motion. He's gotten a lot more touchy-feely with his friendly affection over the years.]

But let me tell you about this magical thing known as 'Not having to get up at five in the morning for school'. It's the best part about being an adult, I'm telling you.

[purrtagonist]

. . .

I'm extremely jealous.

[HE HATES MORNINGS]

[FUCK MORNINGS[

[but the friendly affection is actually kind of nice, so he leans into it easily, even though he's giving Rin a somewhat exasperated look now]

[flamingprick]

[Yeah, that's the thing he discovered in the last seven years: hugging people? Leaning on them sometimes? Stuff like that? Fucking awesome. Or at least pretty awesome for a previously touch-starved shounen.]

And not only that, but if you want some takoyaki at 2 in the morning, you can go out and get that takoyaki. Nobody says stuff like "Shouldn't you be in bed?" or "Don't you have school in the morning?" Because you're an adult, they all assume you know what you're doing.

[He's still getting the hang of this 'adult' thing though. As evidenced by the fact that he sometimes eats takoyaki at 2 in the morning.]

[purrtagonist]

[Akira sure hopes Rin finally got to kiss someone, god]

Somehow, I think my cat would still say that stuff no matter how old I got. . .

[Morgana, man. Morgana]

[flamingprick]

[I MEAN. PROBABLY? It might be worth asking him about.]

Dude, you can't let your cat boss you around! Trust me, I know.

[He has a talking cat too ayyyy]

[purrtagonist]

[PERHAPS HE WILL, EVENTUALLY]

He's very convincing.

And demanding.

[said fondly, though. how weird]

[flamingprick]

...

Akira, do you have a give-and-take relationship with your cat?

[purrtagonist]

[WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN]

More like he "gives" me grief about my bedtimes, and then "takes" all of my snacks from me before I can finish them.

[flamingprick]

[WHO KNOWS Rin says sayings wrong all the time.]

...huh.

If you're looking for a new cat to take all your snacks, technically I'm part-cat.

[Y E P]

[purrtagonist]

[WOW]

I'm not giving you my snacks.

[flamingprick]

[Hey, remember that casual arm over Akira's shoulders?

Now it's changing into a HEADLOCK]

You sure about that?

[purrtagonist]

[WOW HEY SINCE WHEN DID THEIR FRIENDSHIP INVOLVE HEADLOCKS]

Ack--

[brb too busy struggling to escape to respond]
