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.

Profile here. The resident dad archetype that is commonly found in murdergames, here to make people half his age breakfast, listen to their problems, and be a hilarious addition (or straight man) to any shenanigans that occurred. Talked a little bit about himself, but was more enthusiastic just talking about his home world, especially where magic was concerned. Was fairly mellow and approachable to most other captives, but still fairly serious given, well, the murder thing. Often found scrutinizing items found in the vending machine, experimenting in the kitchen, or holed up in the library (sometimes for hours), although if the bunker had craft or greenhouse areas, he might occasionally be found in those too. Notably not found in pools, gymnasiums, or anywhere else dedicated to exercise. He's a squishy, squishy man.

Tended to get very sassy during trials, silently judging anyone who chose to Hagakure and being pretty damn irritable with anyone who chose to MTB. Statistically speaking, he was probably the most Done person during those things.

And then he died horribly when some asshole decided to lace a good deal of the food supply with peanut oil, which had the benefit of not really affecting anyone else but triggering his deadly peanut allergy. Seriously, what the fuck?

In the information files found during the final investigation, it was revealed to the survivor pool that he was married to an interdimensional abomination capable of eating entire galaxies. Not that he was actively trying to hide that information, but no one really asked and everyone just sort of assumed she was a very eccentric witch or some lesser non-human being or something. Went back home after the ending, although his doors were open to a good deal of other fellow murdergame graduates. Might have also offered to teach some of the kids magic.

[Time to check out the prize machine -- oh, Pierce is already there. Supergirl waves!]

Oh, hey! Did you get anything cool this time? I hope there's no more... uh, underwear.

[sorcererdad]

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this thing's running out of drawers anytime soon.

[He's got a bundle of some kind of fabric...thing off to the side. It's probably more underwear.]

But hey, I've got some other stuff!

[Aaaand he shows her an assortment of random items-- a bottle of perfume, a giant donut, an antique doll, and something that looks like a video game strategy guide.]

If you see anything you want, well, I don't really have any use for anything here.

Especially that perfume.

[What is even WITH that perfume.]

[maidofmistakes]

Whoa. Well, if you really don't want it... I have some coins for the machine. Let me try and see if I get anything you want!

[sorcererdad]

Hey, knock yourself out.

[Please don't hurt yourself if the machine spits out 25 pounds of salt.]

[maidofmistakes]

Okay!

[Puts them in and... lunch box... someone's underwear, which gets immediately thrown across the room with a shudder... nolo pen?... and, indeed, 25 pounds of salt.]

...I thought they only gave those out in the little shakers.

[sorcererdad]

...no, they have to fill the shakers up somehow. Most restaurants buy the salt like this so they can use it however they want, since it's easier to just open one bag.

...they're also useful for drawing barriers, if you're in my line of work.

[maidofmistakes]

Oh! Sorry, I'm kind of new to the... uh, well, to the planet, really. I've gotten little salt shakers in the machine before, but not a whole bag. ...Do you want it? It sounds like you could use it more.

Good morning, Pierce.

[Sunday morning. She's not taking any of that breakfast he's making, but she will make some of her own.]

How were your dreams last night? - If you don't mind sharing.

[sorcererdad]

...more than a little worrying.

[OH JEEZ.]

Some friends of mine found out a serial killer was still alive--kind of, anyway--after most people hadn't heard anything from him for over a decade. Not usually a wizard thing, but he's been snatching bodies.

...so, I've got things I really ought to deal with.

[darknesshermit]

That's worrying...

[More than a little worrying, but after a moment, she just sighs.]

There's nothing you can do from here. All we can do is focus on escaping, as hard as that is.

[sorcererdad]

About that- a couple of us found a passage yesterday. Didn't lead us anywhere except to a room with all these weird outfits, but it means that in all likelihood there's more.

...although just getting out of the building might not do us any good.

The fact that no one from my world's showed up yet kind of feeds into my theory that whoever's done this to us has also found some way to magically shut off any traffic coming in our out of the nexus.

[Don't worry, he'll elaborate for anyone not well-versed in magic-ese.]

[darknesshermit]

[No, no, she thinks she understands.]

Finding the passage is progress, but... So even if we escape the building, that doesn't change that we won't be able to get home that way... Is our only option to play this 'game'?

[She really doesn't like that idea.]

[sorcererdad]

...we could try boring them to death, but I've got a feeling that wouldn't work.

[darknesshermit]

But wouldn't that be nice? If we didn't participate for a few weeks and then they stopped talking to us.

...they might stop stocking the fridge if that happened.
