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!

Persistent between travel...?

[Time travel business just seems inherently confusing to her.]

[lastreward]

When you travel between worlds, apparently it should stay consistent. 6 months passed for you, 6 months passed for the others. Supposedly.

Though I guess something's breaking things if all sort of people from different worlds are here? [ She peers around to so many faces she doesn't know. ]

[laytorest]

It does seem that way. There are all kinds of strangers here... I wonder where they came from?

[Someone also missed the memo on who exactly this party is for, outside of their little group. But like, SURELY murdergames are not a common occurrence???]

[lastreward]

Hmmm, I wonder! [ But she's not really bothered with overthinking it? ] I suppose we could ask, but hmm, it's nicer to catch up with people I know. It's been a long time, after all.

[laytorest]

That's true! I even saw Hamelin around.

...It's nice that we can all be together again.

[lastreward]

[ Hamelin... well, she can't say she has positive feelings about him any still, but she nods anyway. ]

Yeah, I'm glad everyone's recovered! Is there any news with you, Yor-san? How's your family?

[laytorest]

They're all well! It seems I worried them while I was gone, but everything's back to normal now.

[And she does feel bad, worrying them like that, but... in a way, it was kind of a relief to know they cared enough to in the first place.]

[lastreward]

That's good! I'm sure you'd do anything to keep them safe too.

[ If Yor-san cared so much when she died, she can't even imagine what Yor-san would do if someone harmed her family. ]

[laytorest]

W-well yes, but... I do have to be careful.

[lastreward]

Hmm? Because of your secret...?

[laytorest]

Yes. If I'm found out, I'll be arrested for sure!

[lastreward]

But they wouldn't turn you in, right? It's good to at least share some of the burden with people you trust.

[laytorest]

I don't know about that...

[lastreward]

[ She frowns. ] Do you not trust them? [ Secrets are hard to tell family, she knows very well. She hasn't told her sister very much about... any of the things, for one. ] Too normal?

[laytorest]

Yes, that's right.

[lastreward]

[ She reaches out to hold squeeze her hand. ]



Do you need help?

[laytorest]

[She shakes her head.]

It's okay. Besides, it's probably better if they didn't know.
