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

That's true. Nothing lasts as long as you'd like it to.

I feel like that's familiar. Like there's something about wishing, and not from Grimm. But it makes my head hurt trying to think of it.

[tigerpoet]

Maybe it's something you'll remember at the right time? Like how we remembered our deal with Grimm after being 'executed'.

[yes_im_kawaii]

I better. [rubs head] Auu, maybe it was dumb anyway. I hope I at least remember what I wished for when I get it.

[tigerpoet]

It'd be a shame if you didn't... Have you asked Grimm about your memory problems?

did I seriously miss that notif

[yes_im_kawaii]

No... [sulk] I just tried to get revenge on him a bunch of times. And then I died.

it do be like that sometimes

[tigerpoet]

Ah... Well, I can't blame you for that under the circumstances.

[yes_im_kawaii]

I'm still kinda mad. But now I more just want to punch whoever in the past made the Ritual. And I don't want Brumm to get caught, either.

[She watches the living through the mirror, whining a little.]

I wonder what they're gonna pick. Helping him or going with what Grimm wants.

[tigerpoet]

If they sabotage the Ritual, they won't get their wishes. But all of this might happen again someday to someone else.

[This might be worth it to some of them, even if they don't remember that they agreed.]

[yes_im_kawaii]

So it's better to finish the Ritual, since it needs to happen anyway. [She shudders and hugs herself tighter.] No fair! I hate this. I wanna go home and I don't even know what home's gonna be.

[tigerpoet]

Is there somewhere else you want to go...?

[yes_im_kawaii]

I dunno. [whine] I don't wanna get left behind again. Circus stuff can't be that hard. I wonder if they have manga in this world.

[tigerpoet]

They have writing, comics can't be that far off. You could invent it, if no one else has.

[yes_im_kawaii]

I have to write my own manga if I want to read some?!

[tigerpoet]

W-well, there might be some already...

[yes_im_kawaii]

Auu. I bet it's weird bug manga anyway. Like these weird plant meat buns.

[Yet she's still eating them.]

What are you guys gonna do where you're from when you get your wish? Only one of you fights, right?

[tigerpoet]

That's right. I'd like to devote more of my time to writing, if I can.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Are you gonna write about this place? I bet people would read that.

[tigerpoet]

I'd have to change some of the details, or people would think what happened made no sense.

[yes_im_kawaii]

I don't get it. Stuff that's made up has to make more sense than stuff that actually happened?

[tigerpoet]

If something really happens, you can't say 'that would never happen'.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Yeah, you can, it just doesn't do anything.

[tigerpoet]

Well... that's true, but most people don't? If it happened, it happened.

[yes_im_kawaii]

Weird. I guess it kinda makes sense, but not really. So if you're writing about real stuff, then you have to change it?

[tigerpoet]

If it's so outlandish that people wouldn't believe it in a story.
