GENERIC MURDERGAME R3

[hagrides]

the psl of the Murdergame That Never Was

You've awoken in a creepy goth carnival, with a rasping moth man informing you that you've entered a tournament as part of a greater Ritual. The ritual will be complete, and the living returned to their world, when only one participant remains. If no one kills, then Grimm will be forced to provide a little extra incentive to get things moving.

Whether you like it or not, you're part of a murdergame.

reply to this post with a character in this hypothetical murdergame, thread out downtime, motive reactions, trials, deadland, etc. i don't run your life

Unpleasant ones, I imagine.

[The total change in mood is hard to miss.]

[allegedprisoner]

[ He just. Nods. ]

Yeah. But at least I realized why my memory's so bad.

[ He doesn't want to talk about it, and he doesn't want to give the host information that could be used against him. ]

[hagrides]

[Fair, even if Grimm would not intentionally do such a thing.]

It can be a relief to know, even if the answer is unpleasant.

[allegedprisoner]

. . .

[ There's a small, weary smirk. ]

You know, you seem to care a lot about me for someone who wants us to kill each other.

[hagrides]

The Ritual does not require me to be excessively cruel.

[His usual excuse.]

[allegedprisoner]

The ritual...

[ How many times has he heard the word "ritual?" More than enough to sound familiar to him. ]

You keep mentioning a ritual. I can't help but wonder what you plan on getting from that, whatever it is.

[hagrides]

It is not a matter of what I receive from it. The Ritual must go on.

[allegedprisoner]

But why? Surely there must be a purpose for it.

[hagrides]

Perhaps if you take a closer look around the carnival, you might find the answers to your questions.

[allegedprisoner]

[ He just glances back at the host.

Did this fellow mention looking for clues before? He must have said it so often it feels familiar. Expected even. ]

Trust me, sir. I have been keeping tabs on this place.

[ Now he's tempted to go over his notes... Again...

He glances to the newest area of the carnival. There must be more clues hidden inside... Somewhere. ]

[hagrides]

Excellent. That attention to detail will serve you well.

[allegedprisoner]

[ ... He gives the host a glance. ]

Strange fellow, you are...

[hagrides]

I shall take that as a compliment.
