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!

[Somewhere outside, where the air is crisp and cold and just perfect for escaping from the hustle and bustle inside, there's a carriage that's almost comically small for the size of its driver, with no sign of beasts to pull it, and a delicious smell wafting from the smoke that's rising from the carriage's chimney.

The master of the carriage is a large man in refined clothes a few sizes too small, as comfortable in his humble carriage as a king on his throne. Of course, TITASS alumni will recognize him immediately, and of course, he recognizes them by name, but even if you've never met him before he seems perfectly happy for the company.]

Ah, good evening! I love a good party, don't you? Perhaps I can interest you in a little last-minute shopping. Or I've just made some fresh sarmale to share, really keep out the winter chill.

[Once in a while, you just have to get out of the building and bask in the quiet isolation of the outdoors. Except there's a guy here who seems to be providing servies. Duster isn't all that interested in the shopping, but playing live music uses up a lot of energy, and he does need more food...]

What's sarmale? [He leans in to smell a hint of it]

[theduke]

[The fragrance is strong and savory, permeating the air around the carriage.]

It's a Romanian delicacy - sour cabbage rolls with ground pork and rice. Let's see here...

[He shifts, his wooden carriage squeaking slightly underneath him, as he turns around and comes up with a china plate, serving up a couple of. Well, cabbage rolls with polenta and sour cream.]

[mindofathief]

[He did not realize how hungry he was until he smelled that, and the plate is a full-on dinner. His night is getting better and better.]

This is incredible! [He takes a bit forkful of the sarmale and savors the taste. He's right, this is perfect for beating back the cold.] Mmph - are you going to join the party?

[theduke]

[Pleased but unsurprised that his cooking has earned approval, he smiles and clasps his soft hands together.]

Well, maybe I will, at that.

Have you been enjoying the party so far?

[mindofathief]

[A nod mixed with a shrug.]

I've been busy, but I like the parts where I can just sit down with my friends.
