Generic Murdergame Mingle

[misheard]

Basically this is for the PSL That Never Was, where a bunch of characters got thrown into a Generic Murdergame but we only felt like doing some random threads and not committing to a whole murdergame.

Post with the character you're putting into the hypothetical Generic Murdergame. Include as much or as little detail about them as you want - title, profile, typical habits, whether they were spared by the RNG or not, etc.

Then tag other people with whatever threads you feel like doing.

Hibiki Kuze | Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker

[shinetagonist]

A well liked guy, Hibiki liked to break up tense moments with the occasional joke or uplifting comment. While no leader he always did his part in the trials and fought to keep everyone together. A bit to mischievous to be a cinnamon roll, but he still never faltered on his morals.

Was the victim of the final trial. The incentive was a last ditch desperation move- kill one or you all die. Hibiki took the choice out of the hands of the others... but the Mastermind altered the scene to make it almost unwinnable. Almost.

Was revived with everyone else, but slipped away while no one else was looking and was never seen again after. No one even knows if he made it home... and the more time passes the more they forget about him existing at all.

Title was: Shining

[darknesshermit]

Impressive as usual, Hibiki~

[She's talking about his score on whatever game he's playing in the arcade - though truthfully it's not like he's got a lot of competition. I mean who else here is going to get high scores on video games? Sorcerer dad?]

[shinetagonist]

[He gives Alice a coy look]

What can I say? I'm good with my hands.

[darknesshermit]

You know exactly how to make a girl swoon.

[Don't encourage her...]

[shinetagonist]

Natural talent.

[No way, encouraging her is the best]

[darknesshermit]

I'm sure in ordinary circumstances, you're positively surrounded by girls.

[Murdergames are a crapshoot, though.]

[shinetagonist]

I prefer just one girl at a time, personally.

[darknesshermit]

Talented and a gentleman.

[Who wants to bet that other people hate having these two talk in public?]

[shinetagonist]

Sadly I have someone I'm kinda interested in right now. But that's no reason to not be nice, right?

[darknesshermit]

Honestly, so do I, but it's just force of habit to be appreciative.

[shinetagonist]

I have a pretty good idea who, too.

[darknesshermit]

Are you sure about that?

[shinetagonist]

I'm never sure about anything.

But I have a good idea.

[Welcome to deadland, Hibiki. Supergirl's coming out of her room when she freezes and stammers at the sight of him.]

Th-- you-- someone's died again? I thought we'd be the last ones!

[shinetagonist]

...!

[He's just as shocked to see her, honestly. You're supposed to die when you are killed]

...I... should be the last one.

[maidofmistakes]

...You mean you did something?

[shinetagonist]

[he refuses to look her in the eyes. She was going to be mad when she found out, so he was happy to put it off]

It...wasn't a punishment, if that's what you're asking.

[maidofmistakes]

[She reaches out nervously, shaking her head.]

What happened?

[shinetagonist]

... after the last trial, he was sounding desperate. Then this week... he threw down the gauntlet. One of us dies or we all did.

I just took the choice outta everyone's hands.

[maidofmistakes]

You mean you died so no one else would have to? And you wanted to keep them from having to do this again and again? What if next week, he does the same thing?

[shinetagonist]

He might. But... even if it just bought everyone a week I had to do it. It's my responsibility.

[maidofmistakes]

...What do you mean?

[shinetagonist]

[He sighs. No point hiding it now- though for most of the time he's known her and the others here he didn't know either. So it's not exactly a secret]

Back in my world... I'm- it's complicated. But basically I'm a caretaker of humanity.

[maidofmistakes]

You mean like me or Alice? A super?

[shinetagonist]

Not exactly.

['more like a god' is something he can't bring himself to say. He made his choice, to save everyone back home and stop the endless cycle of timelines.]

But close enough, I guess.
