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!

[ Yes, hello, there's another murdermom here. Currently she's sitting on the sidelines with a blue-haired toddler on her lap and feeding him crackers from the snack table. He says something unintelligible that only a toddler's own parents can understand and Azura sighs. ]

Finish eating your snack before you talk, darling. And yes, grandfather would love to see you. We can go find him after this.

[ Azura watches Yuuri start panicking, and--oh, yep, that's mom panic. She absolutely gets it. ]

Pardon me, miss.

[ She doesn't know her, but she wants to help a little if she can. ]

[serrata]

Ah–

[ Yuuri starts a little – her expression is a little embarrassed and a little guilty, almost like the proverbial kid with her hand in the cookie jar. She doesn't put her phone away just yet but she lowers it and gives the other woman a hasty smile. ]

Sorry – I'm not making too much of a scene, am I?

[prayerwheel]

Not at all. My apologies for the intrusion, but I overheard your conversation.

[ pausing for a second to put her thoughts together. Shigure continues to loudly eat crackers, rip. ]

Is it your child who is troubling you?

[serrata]

Oh, am I that obvious?

[ Her smile turns a little sheepish – maybe a little self-deprecating – and she nods. ]

It's just– it's the first time we've left her with a babysitter instead of one of the family, so I'm a little out of sorts. I know she'll be fine if they haven't gotten in touch with me, but...

[ She gives a lopsided sort of laugh. Knowing something in your head and in your heart are two very different things. ]
