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!

[Loki is sure he saw their sullen-faced ghosty friend floating in a corner somewhere. He'll have to go harass find him later.]

So are you instead a survivor of one of these 'games'?

[burninglight]

Quite so--twice over, technically.

[Holding out a mildly stigmata-scarred hand, because Somnus preemptively ruined Christmas for the whole planet:]

Ardyn Tenmyouji-Church, formerly Lucis Caelum and several other names. Terribly sorry for the trouble my miserable little brother no doubt caused you.

[cuttingremark]

Loki of Asgard, also formerly of many names. Soon to be Madrigal.

[gdi Somnus.

Loki shakes the offered hand firmly.]

No need to apologize on his behalf. I believe I caused him more trouble than he caused the rest of us combined. At least that was the goal.

[burninglight]

What a distinct pleasure, he could stand to have that insufferable pride damaged a bit now and then.

[cuttingremark]

Honestly, he just made it so easy to get under his skin-er-plate armor. How could I resist?

[burninglight]

He does, doesn't he? Would you believe he's always been like that? Most serious child I've ever seen, absolutely no fun allowed.

[cuttingremark]

Somehow I think it would be more shocked to learn he was a carefree prankster.

So you are not the Ardyn who met us in the town. You were also subjected to one of these...games?

[burninglight]

I was. Two, technically--we were part of the universe's worst reality show broadcast across seven galaxies.

[cuttingremark]

Yours was broadcast? [Loki shudders at the thought. He loves attention, but not being in control of that image makes his skin crawl.]

I think I'd rather fight the giant skeleton again.

[burninglight]

I'd love to have fought a giant skeleton. Sounds a good deal better than hiding out from a murderous television studio.

[cuttingremark]

Apparently not hiding successfully, if the second capture is anything to go by.

[Loki suddenly finds himself growing suspicious, glancing up into a corner for signs of hidden cameras.]

They wouldn't still be hunting for you, would they?

[burninglight]

Not for lack of trying, mind you.

[A shrug.]

No, no, not at all. it's all been well and truly handled, nothing to worry about.

[cuttingremark]

[He relaxes somewhat.]

Good. I'd rather not be sucked into another death ritual again. [He says, not knowing there are currently plans in work to do exactly that.]

[burninglight]

[ripperoni in pasta]

No, I think we're quite safe from that. [lol]
