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!
Give me the Nope's Peak boy.
[That laugh is coming out of a very familiar face wearing a different uniform under his scarf, and he looks rather pleased to see ya.]
Shuichi Saihara! We meet again!
[What a playfully evil intro.]
You know, I wasn't expecting to be brought back to one of these things, but seeing you here makes things more interesting.
no subject
O-Ouma-kun?! You're— [ alive?? ] —here too?! What are you wearing?
no subject
[Yes, he'll tell him eventually, but now he just wants to have some fun.]
But first, you gotta tell me why you look like you haven't slept in weeks.
no subject
[ He almost doesn't want to say it, like saying it will somehow make it more real than the last three weeks have been already, and his voice is weak when he finally gets it out. ]
...another game...
no subject
You too, huh?
[He's trying to sound playfully disinterested, but there's a small tone of sadness in his voice if Saihara listens carefully.]
Funny, that's kind of what happened to me. New rules, no killers, and a bunch of nice prizes... But they still wanted people to die, so they made us vote for who would live.
If any of that rings a bell, let me know.
no subject
[ His tone flattens, not surprised that there's apparently yet another death game out there somewhere at this point, but still a little sad about it. ]
We had... a pair of knock-off raccoons running a killing game similar to ours. Mm, the rules were a bit different, but...
no subject
[At least the Newlydead Game was original... And had a get out of jail free card...]
[... Kokichi begins to smirk, leaning in like he was plotting to share confidential information.]
Saihara-chan? You wanna know how I got this snazzy new uniform, riiiight?
no subject
[ The question in his voice is less because he's uncertain; obviously he wants to know that. But that expression on Ouma's face and the way he asks the question makes him instinctively worried. ]
no subject
[He grins as he explains himself.]
You see, there was another option in the weird game I got put in. The person who got the most votes would be out of the game but spared from death. Instead of being killed, the lucky winners get to stay at a nice hotel to wait for the game to end so they can go home. Sounds like a better option, right?
[Of course, that luxury comes at a price...]
no subject
[ Which means he's waiting for the catch. ]
no subject
Anyway, I met a girl in that game who really wouldn't last one day in that killing game. She was a pretty smart reporter, but she was too unremarkable for anyone to pay attention to her.
[That was sort of a lie. Myriam Scuttlebutt was actually too antisocial to get enough attention. She was wearing a cardboard box on her head, for crying out loud.]
I took pity on the girl, so I did her a little favor... Pulled some strings to get her a one way ticket to that hotel and out of harm's way!
I dunno if there's a mercy option here, but I might do something similar to you if you stick with me.
no subject
Ah... you got her out...? That was kind of you.
[ He says it automatically, and then it hits him how strange it is to say that to Ouma, and then it hits him how maybe it shouldn't be, and he swallows hard. ]
...I'd like to get you out too, if I can.
no subject
[That school should be alien to the detective, and Kokichi knows it.]
no subject
Themis Legal Academy? Is that... somewhere you managed to go? Is that the reason for the uniform?
no subject
no subject
no subject
[Does he really think that, or is Kokichi just wanting a friendly rivalry?]
Nothing's stopping you from continuing your detective work, though. The world could use more detectives right now. [Especially during the "Dark Age of the Law" when you can't exactly trust the lawyers to look for the truth instead of just trying to "win" cases. Not that Kokichi is planning on mentioning that right away.]
no subject
[ He doesn't, quite; this is still a lot—Ouma being here at all, let alone offering to take him off to law school somewhere. ]
Um, incidentally... there is someone else. Another detective, who I met. Who I said I'd go somewhere with once we got out.
no subject
[He sounds only slightly dissapointed. Only playfully saddened. Glad to see Shuichi found a new place too...]
But I'll never see you again...
no subject
no subject
[That is, the world he was staying in before this mess.]

Specifically, Themis Legal Academy.
[Ask him about the lack of anti-immigration laws!]
