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.

I was about your age when I met her.

[Supplementary info he's given in his past conversations has revealed he has a wife. Now you get to know the terrible truth!]

I was young, still learning how to use my magic, and how to summon, and I met a member of an ancient, eldritch--I hate that word, but let's move on--an eldritch race. She and maybe two or three others like her had been living on Earth for millennia, slowly feeding off human souls.

Most people on the planet hadn't even noticed.

[Loooooooong sip of that coffee.]

It took twelve, maybe thirteen years... but after all that time, I decided I wanted to spend the rest of my life by her side.

She's not exactly a "heroic" [and yes, there's airquotes] person. I guess I'm not really either, but there's things about her admire.

Nevertheless, things have always been a little complicated between the two of us.

[Supergirl holds her arm at her side. She shakes her head, barely taking in what she's hearing.]

No. No way. So even knowing that this means people suffer and die over and over?

[sorcererdad]

...if she doesn't eat, she dies. She doesn't feel any shame about doing what she has to do to live, just as most of us humans don't feel any shame about, I dunno, eating a steak.

But look at it this way. You can still eat a steak and have a pet cat that you love with all your heart. That's how it is with people like her--she loves humans, but when she says she can't live without them, she damn well means it.

[He looks at Supergirl's face for a moment, taking in her expression, the clenched fists at her sides, the shaking of her head.]

I've come to accept it.

Our two daughters - Callie's the one who drew the picture I got out of the machine a few weeks ago - they're the same type of being as her, right down to the soul-eating part. When I first found out I was going to be a father, my wife had a lot of concerns.

[Remember, there were like, three of these fuckers on the planet.]

Most of her kind won't hesitate to pick off a rival's kid if they think they can take out the competition, and our girls are just a bit weaker than usual, on account of being part human.

...that was when I helped her with... well, you heard the announcement.

[maidofmistakes]

...I can't do that. I know I should, I know we're all being pushed to, to kill in here, and the people you were fighting would've been just as bad, and you've been nothing but nice to us and it's not like I haven't been used and lied to and at least you did it because you love your family. But when Principal Waller takes in an ex-supervillain, it's because she thinks it'll do good for the world. Not throwing the world away for one person.

[sorcererdad]

[There's... a look of what looks like remorse on his face, as he looks away from her.]

Like I said before...I'm not a hero.

Never was.

...I'm sorry.

[He's made his bed, god damn it, and he's gonna die in it.]

[maidofmistakes]

...Yeah, I. I am too.

[She should be able to do something more, be more understanding. Not for this.]
