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!

And what are the odds, exactly, that assuming infinite universes and infinite permutations thereof, that you'd stop at four of yourself when the circumstances might apparently facilitate otherwise?

[ one might be manageable if a handful and a menace, two requires assistance, three or four? no, he's outsourcing, someone get the professor in here.

also, as he regards the flat who isn't rambling, he can't help but think that if he ever met an alternate version of himself, he might be hard pressed to not deck him depending on when he's from. but instead all he's going to say is: ]

As for the clone thing ... I can honestly say that the notion has never crossed my mind, Flat. Should we also really be doing version numbers considering it seems things for the two of you have diverged ... somewhat significantly?

[ actually how does someone quantify something like that... ]

But yes, hello. Pleasure to meet you. You apparently already know who I am, but Roxis Rosenkrantz.

[escardos]

Rosenkrantz! Got it, that gives me what I need. Nice to meet you!

[ with an excited bob of the head, it seems that flat-a pulls out his smartphone to write something...a quick scroll... there's the game title...and, oh, there's the wiki--

with a final thought to add this game to his ever growing queue, flat 1.0 pockets his phone before flat 2.0 can peek a look and continues. ]

Well, we still both go by "Flat" and sure, technically the structure of our souls is a bit different, but I would say that we're still "Flat". I won't go by any other name.

And neither will I!

[ nodding in unison, flat-a continues. ]

I never thought I had it in me to be romantic, though. Murder games really are a good place to build character bonds, huh! I would say that he's a good 5. Perfectly average. Congrats!

[ flat and flat high five, because clearly this is a great thing to celebrate. ]

[ excuse the fuck out of him ]

What is it, exactly, that you've been telling yourself about me?

[ he will address anything else after ]

[escardos]

Hm? I haven’t been telling him much.

[ flat 2.0 taps his chin, lifting an eyebrow. ]

Sometimes he just knows stuff? Oh, me, could it be that you can read minds!?

Hmm, no… but that would be pretty cool, wouldn’t it?

[trickedges]

[ deadpan: ] Maybe his secrets lie hidden in his search history.

[ if you give an alchemist the modern day, ]

In any case, not telling someone much isn't the same as not telling them anything at all?

[ because for example, who takes a look at the way they've interacted thus far and decides 'ah, they're dating'. what have you told yourself, flat... he is not addressing the character bonding thing. ]

But to backtrack a little, I wasn't implying either of you shouldn't be called Flat. More that parallel development branches might be more accurate than version numbers, perhaps, if you want to take that route.

[ forks off a github repo, if he knew what the hell those were, but he does not, so alas. ]
