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!

Bingooo~ I guess it's kind of sweet. I mean, that barbarian will only listen to what two people say. Well, most the time anyway. She half listens to Masazumi, the rest is trying to help without being noticed. And occasionally she listens to my foolish brother. OR, she just tries to stab him.

[She gets points for effort. And Kimi waves a hand.]

That's a shame. If you need to know something, she's the second best one to ask.

[Shrug]

[purrtagonist]

["kind of sweet" she says, when Akira knows Futayo killed someone in order to protect Masazumi. oops]

And who's the best?

[summitdancer]

[Yeah, but Futayo's response to learning a wife would only marry a man if he could literally disarm her, was to call it romantic. So...Yeah...

Anyway, Kimi just leans forward with a wink.]

Who'd you think~?

[purrtagonist]

. . . you seem like a "Kimi." Am I wrong?

[HE REMEMBERS FUTAYO TALKING ABOUT KIMI]

[summitdancer]

The one and only! But I don't know you, you're too plain to remember~

[She knows she doesn't know him.]

[purrtagonist]

[he isn't at all offended]

Ah, good. My attempts at blending in with the crowds are working perfectly.

[summitdancer]

Congratulations on reaching your humble goal. You look just like an NPC from my idiot brother's games.

[purrtagonist]

Do I at least get to be the shop NPC? Or am I tutorial NPC?

[summitdancer]

Hmmm?

[She actually stops grinning to narrow her eyes at him. Then she skips around, gotta get a 360 view here.

Ah, the grins back.]

I'd say the innkeeper in the first village. When the MC can heal in their own bed for free.

[purrtagonist]

[on the contrary, his expression remains carefully neutral]

Ah. . . so I'm kindhearted and useful, then. I save the MC money so he can spend it on weapons and healing items.

[summitdancer]

That's only if they notice you're even there~

[purrtagonist]

Why wouldn't they? At that point in the game, the MC has no money with which to buy healing items, so they'll need to heal themselves after a few random encounter battles somehow.

[summitdancer]

But why go to an inn that costs money when they have their own house to go to?

[purrtagonist]

. . . I thought we established my inn was free. . .

[:(]

[summitdancer]

Nah, the MCs house right next door is free though. So they just use their own bed~

[Waves hand.]
