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!

[ While her time spent in an evil school run by a deranged chorus teacher wasn't exactly what anyone would call fun, it has helped Eurydice relax around strangers. Somewhat. It's why she's hanging around the party, mostly as a wallflower, rather than up and leaving immediately. Growth!

Besides, she can appreciate celebrating a peaceful change in the seasons. Celebrating the winter, of all things, is still a concept that's fairly new to her, but there's something about light and cheer in spite of the cold. Orpheus would like this, she thinks. (Or maybe that's the spiked eggnog talking.)

Regardless, she's in a good mood, so if anyone comes to join her, she'll raise her glass and offer a warm half-smile. ]

Hey. Here for a break?

[ Later on in the night, when Eurydice's gotten good and ~~drunk~~ merry, someone finally drags her off the wall and pushes her into a makeshift dance circle. She laughs brightly, and offers you a hand. ]

Come on, don't make me suffer through this alone!

[ Orpheus does like this! He's always been a lot more of a holidays person than Eurydice, and while this sort of festivity has its share of differences from the desperate, half-crazed final toast to the end of the harvest that is Little Dionysia, he's found it's not too hard to adapt to the much more relaxed, less extremely alcohol-fueled traditions that their friends from elsewhere seem to expect. General appreciation for the much more cheerful atmosphere aside, it'll be nice to not wake up with a hangover tomorrow.

He is absolutely drinking the spiked eggnog also though. Just, not the traditional "until you can't walk without help" amounts that festivals of Dionysus usually call for. ]

I couldn't leave you by yourself here the entire night, [ he says, brightly. ] It's been nice seeing everyone else again though, hasn't it?
