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!

[Aw, that gets a smile to spread across Eliza's face, even if she's still blushing a lot.]

I'm really glad I got to meet you too! You and Zack and Recette!

[primordial]

Yeah, I guess you did.

[A little shrug of the shoulders.]

Now that you say it that way, guess its better. Existing in the same space, and all. Ha. Your work keeping you busy?

[spychic]

Mhm.

[Anya shifts on her feet.]

....
Mmmph. Anya is happy to have seen Sonic, and Dewey, and....everyone nice. But Anya did not like that school. Not at all.

It made Anya not like foxes or dolls too.

[laytorest]

Persistent between travel...?

[Time travel business just seems inherently confusing to her.]

[laytorest]

Do you need me to drop by?

[trashrabbit]

Not even with all the whatever was happening in your world?

[libirdian]

We still need him alive. Unfortunately.

[ He definitely had to pause to think about his answer. The graveyard famiglia's influence is Maybe Too Strong. ]

If you have any ideas on how to subdue a partridge bigger than me though, I can take notes.

[dereban]

I already read all of it.

[nmc0204]

See if you can get it added to your jurisdiction. If I could trust anyone to break in and interrupt a game like this in progress, it'd be you.

[ tell me you wouldn't want to see cure milky beat the ass of a murdergame mastermind. just try. ]

[touchsensors]

Lun!

[Me: delighted by this mental image. Lala: delighted by the vote of confidence from the coolest girl in the multiverse.]

But I'll need to put together a team-lun.

[lastreward]

When you travel between worlds, apparently it should stay consistent. 6 months passed for you, 6 months passed for the others. Supposedly.

Though I guess something's breaking things if all sort of people from different worlds are here? [ She peers around to so many faces she doesn't know. ]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

When am I not busy?

[It's rhetorical. Though, to be fair, she's found more time at the foundation to tend to... herself. Find hobbies. Grow. that sort of thing.]

What about you? Still tricking innocents?

[laytorest]

I'm not really familiar with bird anatomy...

[And normally they're small enough that it doesn't really matter where she hits-]

But... normally the joints are good places to aim for if you can't reach the eyes.

[laytorest]

It does seem that way. There are all kinds of strangers here... I wonder where they came from?

[Someone also missed the memo on who exactly this party is for, outside of their little group. But like, SURELY murdergames are not a common occurrence???]

[lastreward]

Hmmm, I wonder! [ But she's not really bothered with overthinking it? ] I suppose we could ask, but hmm, it's nicer to catch up with people I know. It's been a long time, after all.

[trashrabbit]

Isn't it different to live it? Though, it's not like I've ever gone back to my own world either.

[laytorest]

That's true! I even saw Hamelin around.

...It's nice that we can all be together again.

[lastreward]

[ Hamelin... well, she can't say she has positive feelings about him any still, but she nods anyway. ]

Yeah, I'm glad everyone's recovered! Is there any news with you, Yor-san? How's your family?

[laytorest]

They're all well! It seems I worried them while I was gone, but everything's back to normal now.

[And she does feel bad, worrying them like that, but... in a way, it was kind of a relief to know they cared enough to in the first place.]

[lastreward]

That's good! I'm sure you'd do anything to keep them safe too.

[ If Yor-san cared so much when she died, she can't even imagine what Yor-san would do if someone harmed her family. ]

[dereban]

It is a bit different in some ways, sure, but... I didn't change a thing.

[ She didn't want to change the ending of her story, just because she read it. But her experience through it all, because she read it felt different, in some ways. More empty, one might even argue. ]

[serrata]

[ Oh, she definitely doesn't like that. Not that she lets her smile slip for a moment. ]

I know exactly what you mean! Usually when I'm a party like this, I'm the hostess. It's still fun in its own way, but it usually means I'm keeping an eye on everyone and making sure things run nice and smoothly. I feel like I should be checking if everyone has a drink and something to eat!

[ She laughs, like this isn't a concerning thing to be commiserating with a small child about. ]

But taking a break from all that is nice, isn't it?

[twoasone]

[ That's another thing Shin notices.

For a moment, he thinks back to when he and his brother were still working at their shop, after meeting Gray for the first time. When Daniel visited them, what he said, how he acted...

Completely different from what Shin sees now. It's almost disconcerting, especially with what Danny implies. ]

... What happened? Is anyone still alive, as far as you know?

[laytorest]

W-well yes, but... I do have to be careful.

[trashrabbit]

That's rough, buddy!
