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!

That doesn't help me relax in the least.

[ Sigh! She does, at least, put her phone away. For Now. ]

It's just– this isn't her first time without us, but it's overnight and– I can't help but worry.

[burninglight]

Given her family, I would be more worried for the babysitter than our sweet angelic Haruka. She will be perfectly fine, and there's nothing at all you need worry over.

[serrata]

You know perfectly well that I'll worry whether or not there's anything to worry over. [ She does stops vibrating with anxiety quite so much, though. ] At least with Ruu-chan being here with us, that's one less thing to be concerned about.

[ just offscreen: Ruu pilfering sweets from the unattended buffet table ]

[burninglight]

One of us certainly has to be the responsible adult here.

[have a Headpat(tm) dear favorite child]

Luckily for you, I know exactly what will take your mind off of it.

[serrata]

[ WEARY SMILE.... once the mom friend, always the mom friend ]

I think I'll be the judge of whether or not it'll actually take my mind off anything, but go ahead.

[burninglight]

The amount of fun I'm having is directly proportional to how irritated my brother looks.

[UNBOTHERED. IN HIS LANE. FLOURISHING.]

Can you imagine the poor group that must have been stuck with him? Gods, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

[serrata]

Oh, is he still wearing that face like he's chewing a sour candy?

[ She IMMEDIATELY brightens and peers around a little to get a good look at Somnus, in the middle of being harassed by an annoying-ass purple nuisance, because these two opposite energy threads happening simultaneously is extremely funny for me to imagine ]

If he's having such a terrible time, you'd think he'd leave.

[burninglight]

That's just how he looks.

[this is the funniest thing that's ever happened]

Unfortunately, I know him very well, and 'leaving' would be the same as 'admitting defeat'. You know how we Lucians are--much too stubborn for that. He'll die again rather than walk out before I do.

[serrata]

Oh, dear. I have a horrible feeling that this is going to end with the two of you moving in here permanently, just out of sheer stubborn refusal to be the first to leave. Will I have to pack daily lunches for you into the Armiger to make sure you survive being stranded here?

[burninglight]

Goodness, I would never. Unlike some of us, I actually have people that want me to come home.

[ARDYN YOU CAN'T JUST KILL PEOPLE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT LIKE THAT]

[serrata]

So he'll be stuck here all on his lonesome, then. How sad.

[ ... says Yuuri, sounding positively delighted. ]

We'll have to make sure we stay as late as we can to make the party that much more unbearable for him.

[burninglight]

My, that sounds exciting. We'll also have to be sure to have as much fun as possible.

[serrata]

Will he even recognize what having fun even looks like, though? He might think we've gone and lost our minds.

[burninglight]

...You mean we haven't? Gods, and here I was assuming I'd long since gone quite mad a few times over.

[serrata]

Hm, good point. I should be saying, he'll think we've gone and lost our minds all over again.

[ hoh hoh hoh! ]
