There's No Place Like Traumabonding for the Holidays

HOLIDAY MURDERGAME WHERE ARE THEY NOW MEME



It's the hap-happiest season of all, and what better way to celebrate than by remembering that one (or more) horribly traumatic experience that permanently changed the face of not only your relationships but possibly your outlook on life itself?

Any character (including NPCs!) who's ever been in any murdergame is invited! Feel free to share with your friends!

Regardless of how you choose to use this meme, there's two blanket rules:
1) Make sure the header of your comment has your character's name, home canon, and murdergame listed. If you used the same account for several murdergames, you can use the same toplevel for all of them.
2) No blank comments! First and foremost this is a chance to catch up with old murdergame buddies, and maybe make new ones if you choose! Thus, your comment should go into whatever degree of detail you like describing what life has been like since the murdergame ended. Did life go back to normal? Did they get married? Have a kid? Move to another universe entirely and start over with their found family? Have they kept in touch? Go into as much detail as you want, just put something!

You can use this meme to set up any kind of "canon" or canon-compliant holiday threads with your castmates, big holiday party or no.

OR... you can pretend that there's an interdimensional all-murdergame nondescript winter holiday party that you've been invited to attend! Maybe the Curtains narrators made sure the Denny's was conveniently empty (don't mind the weird old guy in the woods out back), or maybe there was some other convenient arrangement. Either way, you received an invite, and you're here now! So spike the eggnog and check for mistletoe, because the night is probably going to get wild.

(If you're not down for one option or the other, just note that somewhere in your top-level.)

Have fun, and Happy Holidays!

Simon Says "Say I'm a big, fat baby!"

Oh...

[Adorabat will let Dylan get up, smiling apologetically, as... yeah, she's sort of been sticking to her own world.]

Yeaaaaah, I wanted to have time to catch up with Mao Mao and Badgerclops. It took a while for them to get used to Slimy and Simon Norwell.

Ugh, spare me the theatrics. First off, I could obliterate you twenty different ways before all the do-gooders caught notice, and the last thing I want to deal with right now is—

_{[Is not doing the thing a disqualification condition for Simon Says? Or is it only doing things when Simon didn't say? He wants to lame it out to see if it's the former. But... Judging that it's Flowey...]}

...I'm a big fat baby.

[magycks]

Hold up, you were in one of these? Someone decided to throw together a death game and went "well, the green one isn't available, this will do in a pinch"? Ohhhhh, this is too good...!

[ AND SHE'S IMMEDIATELY DEVOLVING INTO HYSTERICAL EVIL LAUGHTER ]

[magycks]

... And here I thought grumpuses were as ridiculous as it got. How exactly did you participate in this?

[your_best_friend]

Ah, I see. Some idiot kidnapped a bunch of criminals, including me, and modified our essence to make us immortal. Planned on using our bodies to invade and spread out.

But enough about me, your story sounds very interesting! What all happened? You can tell little old me.

[brokeforgood]

So-- which was it? Were you good famous, or like, bad famous?

[lets_dewey_it]

Yeah, maybe that was the case...

But guess what? I lived through it! And I kicked a giant doll monster's butt, side-by-side with the friends I made along the way! Can you say you did something totally awesome like that?! Get on my level, De Smell! _{[Wow he must have been up all night thinking about that one.]}

[brokeforgood]

... I don't know if deranged choir teacher beats that or not.

Lorna | Over the Garden Wall | Unknownseas R2

[bonesorter]

[This is the first Christmas Lorna will have ever experienced, truth be told. It wasn't really something she got to celebrate back home, what with... living in a state that was essentially purgatory. And being possessed by something who would probably spend Christmas eating people if the holiday had even been a thing.

But since she is no longer possessed that shouldn't be an issue! Now she can actually enjoy the holiday treats as well as look at the decorations with wide eyes of interest, even if the decorations might not be that special for a Denny's or wherever they are celebrating this at.]

The tree is so beautiful... I wonder if there's a way I can take a photo back to show Auntie Whispers.

[your_best_friend]

[Wonderful~! Flowey is cackling inside, but outside, he's just normal. You might not be able to catch any microexpressions, Jake, but you've been around him long enough to know that he's enjoying making you suffer like this.]

Good! Now... Simon says do a hand stand.

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

If nobody told you, then I think it's fine... I mean, I hope it's fine. Now I'm worried, since I don't have something for everyone either...

[ghostsguysgyuudon]

Oh, that makes sense! Though I guess it would be different for different holidays. That's how it is at home. Now I wonder if they have any of those here, though...

King Milton | Housepets! | 15 Strangers R5 + R6

[unwittingking]

[Apparently, helping kill a celestial being that was causing murdergames to happen all over the multiverse earned one an invite to Christmas party for fellow murdergame victims.

Who would've thunk it.

No matter, King is here. A bipedal corgi that is holding back the urge to grab an orange soda, particularly whenever he sees someone on the younger side who'd apparently been through this song and dance too. To those kids, he'll be personable and friendly enough.

Fellow adults, though, might find him sitting at whatever bar available. Orange soda in pawlm, though not yet drunken from. Only one question on the dog's mind.]

...how many times has this happened?

[violence_ensues]

Tch. Adorabat got me out of the machine, played with me for however many weeks, then used Belief to bring me to life. Try to catch up, slowpoke.

[Quite rude for a toy rabbit.]

[conways_retribution]

<sub>[Okay, maybe he was athletic, but... a handstand?

Well, he got on his hands and knees and tried to kick his legs above his head and stay like that. But. Whoops. He flipped onto his back instead.]</sub>

[brokeforgood]

Whoa, whoa whoa! [Farrah snatches her notebook right on up to her chest, spinning around to look at him-- she'd sound offended if she could, but she's all smiles.

She's been a lot more all smiles lately.

She still wakes up the house at night sometimes, screaming-- Halloween's totally been ruined, and sometimes, even cheering makes her sad (she doesn't know if she'll ever be able to join a squad again)-- but for the most part? She smiles. She didn't do that before-- not normally, not unless she had something to say that needed to be delivered behind a smile. She's almost like the freshman that Riley remembered-- the girl who wanted to fly. The girl who thought she was getting a new family and a fresh start, and that life was going to be full of sunshine and unicorns and puppy dogs-- the girl she was before the fall. She'll never be that girl again-- but that's okay. She can be something better.

She can be Farrah Salieri.]

No peeking before it's done!

[fuckingguy]

Then don't worry about it, [ he says, with a "duh" sort of air. ] Do you not have to sign a release form for this sort of thing? I mean, normally we would just hypnotize anyone who doesn't want to be filmed, but as we have all been through a similar experience it seemed like a dick move.

[ And he's trying to be a better person for his not-undead bride! ]

[...talking flower...]

[curdle]

Oh—!

[ She starts a bit, not because this is a talking blue bat, but because she didn't expect her name to come out of a talking blue bat's mouth. It takes a second for her to process that it's really her who's being addressed, and she looks guilty once she does. ]

Pray forgive me, but I think you took me for another. Unless... didst watch the show?

[ Adorabat could, after all, easily be an alien! Maybe she's just a fan of Airlocked? ]

[canismajorcontrolfreak]

[you know what. why not at this point.]

Not a monster. Just a dog that can talk.

[Which he is. Pretty sure there is a distinction between.]

Yumemi Hoshino | Planetarian | Jingle Hells...

[commemoration]

[So, uh. The last time that Yumemi was placed somewhere other than her workplace, it involved being stuck in a cabin with several other strangers that ended up killing each other, during Christmas no less. So when she gets the invite for coming here, and takes note of the holiday decorations...]

... Should I be concerned about the welfare of my fellow guests, or will this be a normal Christmas without any murder this time?

[Because if it's anything like the last time, she is going to have Complaints to file to the Manager.]

[lets_dewey_it]

Oof, that sounds like it stinks... Did you at least get to see Santa when you were stuck?
