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

You and your dumb ritual. Dying is stupid and you're -- auu!

[As she leans over, the ladder wobbles again and Makoto crashes to the ground in a heap.]

I think I bruised my everything.

[hagrides]

Oh dear.

[Makoto's getting scooped up.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

[She flails and squirms, but at least she doesn't appear to have broken anything?]

Hey, put me down! I don't wanna get eaten!

[hagrides]

[Good, good, she can still move.]

Now why would I eat you?

[yes_im_kawaii]

'Cause you're a big bug who wants us all to die for some thing, and that thing is obviously eating us!

[hagrides]

The Ritual does not involve any of you being consumed in quite that manner.

[yes_im_kawaii]

There's other ways to get eaten?

[hagrides]

Yes.

[do you really want to know what they are]

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu... You're not succeeding in not sounding like a creepy monster guy who's gonna eat us.

[hagrides]

My apologies. I only eat flame.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Is that why this is a circus? 'Cause of those old fire-eater guys?

[hagrides]

The carnival is my own personal aesthetic.

[yes_im_kawaii]

So you just thought it was cool.

[hagrides]

Indeed. Is it not to your liking?

[yes_im_kawaii]

[Makoto starts squirming and flailing in his grip again.]

If I had a murder fair, which I don't 'cause that's dumb and dying is stupid, it'd look prettier! With sparkles and fun stuff that makes noise! And it wouldn't be all red everywhere, either. There'd be pink and green and yellow and stuff.

[hagrides]

[Fine, she's getting put down gently on her feet.]

I could add sparkles and noisemakers.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Do you even have those?

[Immediate huff. She's not thanking you. I'm so sorry.]

[hagrides]

They could be acquired if requested.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu... I don't get you. Someone who wants us to kill each other is our enemy, but you keep trying to be all nice. Quit trying to fool us! I'm still gonna get my revenge!

[She stomps off, leaving the bucket on the ground. It didn't work anyway. Next time she'll try throwing firecrackers in his tent at night.]
