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.

It's. Complicated.

[After a few seconds, he brings his eyes up to meet hers.]

But despite everything? To me, it was.

I don't think anyone here actually knows much of anything about my wife.

[I mean, most of the other people here know he's married and has two daughters, and have probably assumed that they can also use magic, but beyond that...

If Alice caught the pronoun there, that's a lady soul-eating abomination we're talking about...at least as far as gender applies to horrorterrors, anyway. He's hoping she can put two and two together, here.]

You married a cosmic horror.

[Interesting. Kind of worrisome, but interesting.]

No, I don't think anyone does. Not any personal details anyway.

[He gives a small nod to the affirmative.]

She's part of an ancient race that lives off absorbing the souls of...other beings. Weaker, usually. There were two or three others on Earth before she dealt with them... I was the one who set up the barriers that kept them contained. Once they've got nowhere to go, it's basically shooting fish in a barrel.

...I don't want to imagine what it would be like if we had a fair fight.

[Probably the world would have been destroyed sooner.]

Honestly, if it wasn't her and our daughters that had control over the planet, it would've been someone else. Humanity's basically been screwed over since the beginning of time.

Don't get me wrong, she loves humans...but, she also knows all good things must come to an end.

[That makes sense, and she's willing to accept it. It's weird, but plenty of what she's heard here from the others has been weird, and she's... tired, today. Debating over what isn't possible takes too much energy.]

That's fine with me. If I had the ability to destroy humanity, it wouldn't be for such a nice reason.

[...so in a way, even a cosmic horror is a better person than her. Hah.]
