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!

Those things are both my forte, but I'll do my best.

[ ... she's kidding, as hard as it is to remember sometimes that Ryoko has a sense of humor. ]

Then again, if it's someone who knows me well enough to want to get me a gift, they're probably already expecting it.

Have you been in contact with them somehow? Any idea how they're doing?

[Marissa has kind of tried to leave painful moments behind, and of course, the murdergame is one of those painful moments. Yeah, there were a few times that helped her overcome the traumatic years of villainy -- especially thanks to Rex, she misses him -- but overall she tries to distance herself from the time in that satellite, and that includes not keeping in touch.

...but despite that, it's hard not to think of everyone who was there and how they're doing. Parker is the one easiest for Marissa to reach, but given she sees being allowed in her world as a huge favor she won't ever be able to repay, she tries not to bother her too often]

[ Dryly: ] I have no choice but to know how they're all doing. I don't think I could get them to leave me alone even if I wanted to.

[ She says it in a grumpy voice, but she's clearly kidding. Marissa knows just as well as anyone else who was under Jack's thumb just how much and how fiercely Ryoko cares about the people she'd found there. ]

The people who followed me back to my world are settling in well – Majima and Serizawa-san were right at home anyway, and Harumi and Claptrap are adjusting as well. And we see the others more often than we don't – I'm planning to try and attend college in Parker's world with her and the others, so we're trying to get used to it before we settle there.
