non-trial Alice murdergame stuff

[darknesshermit]

This post is basically a catch-all for stuff from a pretend murdergame round and Alice, because throwing her in there could only be a good idea, right.

Hit me up with anything at any point! Introductions, weekly stuff, parties, afterparties, even the final investigation I don't care. I just want to play her in this kind of setting with this kind of CR.

Her title is Restrictive because I'm mean.

His title is Aberrant so I guess here we go

[He couldn't believe this was happening. The incentive for the week: if there wasn't a murder soon, everyone's secrets would be revealed not only to their fellow captives, but to every relevant soul in their own worlds.

...it had been one hell of a ride, but he'd figured if anything happened for the worse, Elle was more than capable of handling things on her own. And though no one had quite gotten around to getting their memories back this early in the game, well, he doubted that had changed.

But that was just him. There were all sorts of things worth killing for, and the week had gone by with Pierce harboring a persistent uneasiness in his soul. So when he and Alice had found pieces of Jyushimatsu scattered across the floor of the bar area, frozen solid with what appeared to be liquid nitrogen... he hated to say it, but he was just a little surprised it hadn't come sooner.

And then Ghetsis had been exposed to everyone, engaged with his fellow captives in an epic MTB, and executed. Pierce was so tired of everything by that point.

Everyone was so tired, but Ghetsis' last middle finger to everyone else was that no one felt like sleeping. Which is why Pierce was where he was now: in the kitchen, making pancakes and bacon and eggs for everyone because damn it, breakfast is what he defaults to whenever he's pressed for time and lacks the energy to come up with anything else.

When Alice comes in through the door, he pushes a loaded plate her way. Maybe he doesn't know her very well, but...hey. He's a father, and while Alice isn't exactly a 'kid' objectively, she's sure as shit a kid to him.]

Thank you, but I'm not hungry.

[That's not true - it had been a long and intense trial, and she's starving.

But she didn't trust any food she didn't prepare herself or see prepared. It might not be Thursday, but poison could take a long time to work, and nothing said that murder had to be on that day of the week...

She pours herself a glass of water, instead.]

How are you holding up?

[sorcererdad]

Gotcha.

[He'll cover that tray with a plastic wrap in case you change your mind. Once he's found a good pausing point in his work, he turns the stove off for a moment. Don't wanna accidentally kill anyone by setting the stove on fire.]

I'd say things could be a lot better, but...isn't that what everybody else is probably thinking?

[He just wants to be done with this bullshit and see his family again, really.]

Can't say I wasn't expecting Ghetsis to murder someone.

Wasn't expecting it to be...like this.

[WHY JYUSHI. HE ACTUALLY LIKED JYUSHI. EVERYONE LOVED JYUSHI or at least tolerated his boundless energy. WHY WAS THE MURDER METHOD SO FUCKED UP. What the fuck is wrong with you, Ghetsis.]

[darknesshermit]

Unfortunately, people like that exist wherever you go.

[He probably didn't need all that much encouragement. Jyushimatsu being the one to die was unfortunate, since most people seemed to like him, but... well.

Alice can't say she actually cares about him in particular. It's nothing personal, but it does make this afterparty easier to handle.]

It's not a very pleasant way to murder somebody, if any murder method can be called pleasant. I shouldn't have been so surprised.

[sorcererdad]

Tch. Add the bar to the list of places we'll have to baby-proof around here.

[Because what else are you going to call people who fall for this crap other than literal babies.]

You have any theories on just why we're trapped here, by the way?

[darknesshermit]

Other than 'the personal satisfaction of our captor', I really wouldn't know.

[That guy is an asshole, though, she's sure of that much.]

And you?
