THE MURDERGAME MEME

It's practically everywhere, so you should know the drill by now: take a few characters, put them in a brand new setting, whether it be a city, a prison, a school, you name it, and then suddenly get told that there's only one way to escape, and that's by one thing alone: murder.

Because you know, that's definitely a good idea, right?

But it's not that simple, of course. Each time a murder happens, there's going to be an investigation, and then a trial. Naturally, more often than not, you have to find the culprit or else. However, there are some games where the culprit can get off scot free... but that's only for you to figure out.



---





MURDERGAME TYPE:

1. Investigative. This type of murdergame relies on having specific culprits per trial, each one handpicked as a culprit or victim.
2. Mafia. Specific characters are chosen to be either a group of killers or a single killer from the very beginning. Other roles may also be given to other characters, such as Doctor, Gunsmith, etc.


SETTING:

1. School. The type of setting that you would see in Dangan Ronpa, your mastermind has kidnapped you and forced you to go to school! You may or may not have some special "titles" to go along with it. Sure, you might be trapped, but at least it's a nice place to stay.
2. Island. Have you seen Survivor? Basically, you're trapped on an island meant to survive; of course, the essentials may or may not be given to you, depending.
3. Prison. No wonder you're in a murder game! You've done something really, really bad, haven't you? The rooms in this setting will most likely not be as comfortable, but hey, it's better than having to sleep on the cold hard ground.
4. City. You're trapped in a rather spacious city where some rather strange happenings are going on. You somehow can't leave, but at least there's a lot of buildings to go and visit and you can actually see the sky! Too bad murder is still a thing.
5. Wildcard. Hit me with your best shot, I'm sure there's some setting out there that can make for a good murder grounds.


PROMPTS:

1. Welcome to Hell, Enjoy Your Stay! You've only just woken up, so you don't exactly know what's the situation. But you don't seem to be alone; there are others who are with you; maybe they might know the answers?
2. So How About that Murder? You've just been told by your Mysterious Mastermind that "hey, you've got to kill to survive" and that... can't possibly be right, can it? Can it?
3. MOOOOOOTIVE! It's been quite some time and your mastermind is pretty much sick and tired of all of this fluffy and sweetness to the point that they've put their hands down and decided that they've got to do something about it. But what's it going to be this week?
4. So Do You Want To Be A Mole? Probably not, but it seems that whoever is overseeing your game thinks that you'd be great to be the game's spy.
5. Roles, Roles, Roles! Specific to the Mafia set up, sometimes you're given a specific role. Maybe you can pass out weapons or guns to people. Or perhaps you can speak to the dead. Maybe you can block someone from killing for the evening. Whatever it is, you're special. Just make sure not to get killed. (For ideas on roles, feel free to utilize this list here!)
6. So you're Mafia now, eh? You are one of the elite. The ones chosen to vote for who dies each week. Whether it's by choice or by chance, you've got a dirty job to do and you have to do it... or else. But hey, at least you're not alone! You've got some buddies to help you do the work with you.
7. What's that? Somehow, somewhere, you've managed to find some sort of machine that takes a special kind of coin and pops out some sort of item? Who knows.
8. Free Time Events Throughout the week, you're free to do as you please, so what are you going to do, even with the threat of murder hanging over your heads? Might as well get to know your fellow captives, right?
9. Kill or Be Killed Whether you're mafia or just a solo killer, it's time to start your murder on! There's plenty of ways to do it. So how's it gonna be done this time?
10. IT'S INVESTIGATION TIME! Ding dong bing bong, a body has been discovered! Whether or not you'll actually find any clues, however, to who did it might be a bit of a toughie.
11. Let's figure this out The trial starts and everyone's eyes are on everyone else. Whether you're given a list of suspects or not, there's a killer to catch! But will you catch the right one? Or scapegoat someone else entirely innocent?
12. I remember...! In some murder games, memories are key. Every Sunday, you remember something from your past that you've somehow forgotten. But why was it lost in the first place? And why are you remembering it now, all of a sudden? It is a mystery, truly.
13. And the mastermind is-? Is it truly someone outside of the group? Or perhaps it was one of your friends after all? It's time to finally finish this, solve all the mysteries, defeat the evil twisted things, maybe get the Golden End and go home.
14. WILDCARD Anything else that I'm missing? JUST JAM AND PLAY IT OUT!

[Man, this prison is totally depressing for poor Eliza. At least she's got a fellow magical girl here to talk to. And one who hasn't even been through a horrible murdergame before! And right now she's running over, looking excited.] Sakura! There's so much cute manga in the new library!

[clearities]

[Being in a prison was a rather shocking experience; one that had caught Sakura off guard. It didn't make any sense to her-- why was she here? She didn't do anything wrong! Or at least, she would like to say that, but she has made little white lies to her friends and family on occasion to hide her magic, not to mention she's snuck out of the house late at night just to capture the cards. But they were all for good reasons!

Of course not that she would ever admit the truth here, but she already had her moment to scream aloud upon arrival.

At this point, she's calmed down, although there's so much that she doesn't like about this place. Not to mention that a lot of it absolutely terrifies her and makes her sick to her stomach. But the excitement on Eliza's face makes Sakura smile, even if it's a little somber.]

There's a library in a place like this...? [That's definitely a surprise.]

[telecosmetic]

Yeah, it just opened this week! [Although Eliza's enthusiasm seems to die down a bit as she considers why they got it.] As...a "reward" for doing well in that trial...

[clearities]

[Sakura listens carefully nodding but it soon fades when she mentions that the whole thing was considered a reward and it immediately makes her sick to the pit of her stomach, almost turning pale even recalling the trial. Not to mention the executions. Of course, she couldn't dare to watch it, so she just closed her eyes to it and covered her ears, the only sound that she could hear was of her own screams in terror.

Each and every single time someone died, she cried. It didn't matter if they were considered a bad person or not-- the loss of life was simply something that she couldn't accept. She could never accept it. But even now, she doesn't wish harm on the one behind all of this. While she still wanted to know why they had made the decision to run something like this, to understand them and see if she could turn them around and see the error of their ways, she just wasn't sure how she would do that.

But she still had her invincible spell.

She mouths it without saying it before pumping herself up with a bit of a determined glint in her eyes.]

I... want to see the library, then. Even if there's manga-- [It isn't important. The manga definitely isn't important.] I want to know if we can find something useful, there.

[She doesn't want to be a burden to the others because she can't handle things very well in this place.]

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza's forced herself to watch most of the executions-she's done it once and she can do it again-and there's little hate in her heart for most of the culprits even so. She's punched most of them, when they revealed themselves, but mostly a light tap instead of anything heavy. All she's said about that is that it's a personal thing-a personal promise.

As for the mastermind-she's mentioned before it could be one of them. But even so she's willing to trust everyone here, to try and understand them. And she nods at Sakura's response.]

...yeah. Maybe there's even a secret passageway somewhere, or some book that will explain more about why this is happening. [It must be for a ritual of sorts, right?]

[clearities]

[Sakura just couldn't stomach it. It makes her sick and she doesn't think that she should watch the culprits be made a spectacle of-- like this was all some sort of game. And maybe the person behind it all thinks that it is, but she certainly doesn't.

But the idea that it might be one of them... it's definitely not something she wants to think of.

And she's wanted to plead desperately for them to stop if they were amongst themselves.]

Maybe. But even if there isn't anything... knowing is better than not knowing.

[telecosmetic]

Yeah...I think some other people are checking out the books as well. [Although some of them are way more advanced than she's used to, so she figures she'll leave those to the more professional researchers.]

[clearities]

It doesn't hurt to have another pair of eyes though!

[At least, that's what she thinks, anyway. Although she doesn't know if the books she'll wind up finding are even in Japanese or ion some other foreign language that she doesn't even know.

...she hopes it's in Japanese.

Please.]

C'mon, let's go?

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza nods, pointing in the direction of the library.] It's over there! [She starts hurrying in that direction, then pauses and comes running back, offering Sakura her hand.] Come on, I'll show you where it is!

[clearities]

Mm!

[She nods with quite a bit of determination, taking Eliza's hand as she allows herself to be taken in the direction of the library. Even if they're not really in a hurry, they should keep up so she'll just match her pace.]

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza just likes holding hands, okay. She's actually cheering up a bit more when they reach the library. She swings the door open and is about to call out when she remembers it's a library and they should be quiet.]

Tah-dah~ [Somehow that doesn't sound as impressive when it's whispered.]

[clearities]

[Sakura definitely doesn't mind holding hands with friends in the slightest bit; in fact, it doesn't bother her at all. But when she swings the door open to the library, the small middle schooler finds herself in awe, gasping slightly before realizing that she should be quiet, bringing both her hands to her lips as if that would quiet herself.]

This really is amazing...

[She keeps her voice low as she takes those careful steps inside the library, surprised at how large it is.]

Anyway, let's get to checking some of the books.

[Which is why she'll be heading towards the nearest bookshelf in hopes of finding something interesting.]

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza smiles at Sakura's reaction, before letting go of her hand and heading to another bookshelf. After a bit, she comes over to where the other girl is with a pile of books that seem to mostly be about ghosts and hauntings.]

Did you find anything?

[clearities]

[Sakura herself seems to be a little distracted herself, looking through the books' titles one by one to see if she'd find something interesting. She does eventually find something -- but it doesn't seem to be a book. In fact, it's some sort of binder which seems to contain medical records of the prisoners. Strange.] I did, but-- [And then she eyes the books that Eliza makes and:] Hoeeeeeee...!! [That sound comes out, a little startled. It echoes throughout the entire room and then she just. Puts her hands on her mouth, trying to be quiet. Oops.] Y-You like... that sort of thing...?

[telecosmetic]

Not really...but I was thinking! If the people who died are still around in some form...there might be some way to contact them, right? [For some reason the ghosts here are lazy and not sending letters.] They might know extra stuff that we can't see form this side.

[seinfrau]

[Most people would be upset at being kidnapped and placed in an empty city. This girl in her long black dress and white apron didn't seem to be though. If she was, it didn't show on her face.

In fact she almost didn't seem to blink at times as she turned on the spot looking at each building as she walked though. The maid was looking for someone in particular.

So she stops when she finally meets someone. Her eyes close as she dips into the perfect bow, not creasing her clothes. She keeps her head bowed as she speaks.]

Greetings. I am looking for my master. Have you seen a tall, middle-aged Japanese man, with white hair and a cane. Have you met such a person?

[There was no emotion in her voice. Other than her mouth opening to speak she hardly seemed to move, not even to breathe.]

Rolled 1-5

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza wasn't that surprised that she got the Bodyguard role, in the end. After all, she's always been ready to die to protect someone she cares about, and if she can be given the power to take the attacker down with her it might be useful. She's been choosing different targets each night, although so far none of them have been chosen for a kill. So it's with a hopeful heart that she knocks on Leon's door.]

...hey Leon?
