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

Whoever came up with that being the only way needs to get punched in the face!

[hagrides]

The Ritual... is old. Hmm.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Then the ancient people need to get punched in the face. With time travel. Obviously.

[hagrides]

I would if I knew how.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu. Life should be fair and the fact that it's not is stupid.

[hagrides]

[Brumm stares at the floor.]

...I don't want the Master to die.

[Makoto doesn't do anything for a while. Then she shuffles over and nuzzles Brumm a little. Just for a second or two becore turning away to sulk. That's how tsundere.]

And there's no way for him not to?

[hagrides]

[Awww. Brumm awkwardly pats Makoto on the head.]

The Ritual can be sabotaged. Only for a short time.

[yes_im_kawaii]

You mean you can mess it up, but then it'll go back to normal again?

[hagrides]

Yes. But even if it were only to buy the Master another year of life... I would be happy.

[yes_im_kawaii]

What about his kid? You said they need it to live.

[hagrides]

They will be... weakened, but I believe they will survive until another Ritual is completed. It will cost the Master more of himself to feed them, but it is better than dying.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu... This isn't fair and it's stupid and that means more people are gonna have to do the dumb murder thing. I wanna punch the ancient people now.

[hagrides]

The murder game is not usually part of the Ritual. There were exceptional circumstances.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu. ...People always get left behind, anyway. No one ever stays. Even without dumb ancient people.
