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!

Well, I want to try anyway! Maybe one of those marathon sort of things?

[ Now that she isn't confined to a hospital bed, the world is so large and free and she's invincible. ]

[laytorest]

Are you fast at running?

[She's trying to remember, but of course she just remembers everyone running as fast as they possibly could to escape the hell caterpillar.]

[lastreward]

I don't think so. [ She crosses her arms to think about it. And also trying to think about how to avoid saying "rehab" ] It's just that I've been running around lately to, um. Get build up muscle and get healthier?

[laytorest]

[She nods, smiling! This makes sense.]

Of course! Exercise is important, and you always kept up on your morning exercises!

[lastreward]

Yeah, of course, Yor-san gets it!

[ Ah, it was a shame they didn't have more carefre days to just do things together, wasn't it? ]

[laytorest]

I'm glad you've been taking care of yourself!

Have you talked to the others, too? I saw Nageki earlier.

[lastreward]

[That's a big fat no to most, but she tries to keep it casual.] I haven't, but Nageki's visited me before. I should go say hi too. I would peg him to come to something like this.

[laytorest]

Eh- he did?!

[HE KNEW WHERE SHE WAS ALL ALONG?!!]

[lastreward]

[ ...Oh. Opps. She slipped up there, sorry bird-twin. ]

Um, yeah. But I told him not to tell anyone, so don't blame him, okay?

[laytorest]

Huh? Why?

[lastreward]

Ummm. It's a secret?

[laytorest]

Oh... okay.

[Still confused but she won't press it! She must have her reasons.]

[lastreward]

Don't worry about it. What's past is past, right?

[ She just doesn't need more people she cared about to worry about something that already happened. ]

[laytorest]

That's true!

[Thank goodness she really just accepts anything Sami says.]
Now that we're together again, we should celebrate!

[lastreward]

We should! I can drink alcohol now too, so we can properly party!

[ She can't hold it as good as Yuuhi, but she's certainly better than her neesan. And maybe they should coerce Nageki into drinking some too! ]

[laytorest]

Eh- wait, how old are you now?!

[lastreward]

Twenty-seven, of course!

[laytorest]

EHHH?!

[lastreward]

Hmmm? [ she blinks blinks. ]

[laytorest]

B-but... That would make us the same age! A-and the last time I saw you--

[?!

?!?!?!???!!!!!!!!!!]

5/5 all in one

[lastreward]

[ ....????? ]
[ What...?? ]
[ HUH?????? ]
[ ......... ]
[ ...Oh well. Can't be helped right? ]

I guess it's a Christmas miracle? How long has it been since you've seen me, Yor-san? It's so weird to think we're the same age!

Re: 5/5 all in one

[laytorest]

N-nearly a year, just...

[Well... she sort of thought they would see each other sooner...]

Re: 5/5 all in one

[lastreward]

Oh, it's been that recent..?

[ For her it's been an age. She'd feel worse about it, but of course it's not like she could help being absent from everyone's lives. ]

Re: 5/5 all in one

[laytorest]

I know we all came from different times and places, but it's even stranger when we already knew each other...

[lastreward]

It sure is strange. Nageki said that time should be persistent between travel...? So, it has to be some sort of anomaly.

[ Ah, speaking of Nageki. Was the one here from her present, or the one from 11 years ago? During that time.... were they still fighting Animus? Was this a fraction of what Anima felt coming to the past? ]
