THE MASTERMIND AU MEME

THE MASTERMIND AU
AMBIDEX EDITION

With Round 3 now over, it's about time we had the mastermind meme!

To those who aren't familiar, this is essentially an AU where your character is the one responsible for Round 3's Mutual Killing Game, and all of the carnage that came with it, from the kidnapping to the motives to the trials to the executions! And now, they have chosen to reveal themselves before the remaining members of their class at the final trial!

As such, you are free to play around with this as much as you would like; did your character make a contract with Kyuubey, or did your character put everyone in the Killing Game for a different reason? What is your character's motivation for bringing despair? What do they intend to get out of this seemingly senseless killing? And what does the rest of the class have to do to stop the madness and go home?

There's probably going to be quite a bit of AUing from your character's original canon happening here to make them into the best harbingers of despair they can be, so feel free to go as nuts with it as you want to! And, of course, feel free to tag others with your character's reaction to their classmate's big reveal; it doesn't matter whether or not your character made it to endgame, have fun and mix up the survivor pool as much as you'd like!

Oh, and feel free to describe your character's sweet new Monobear-themed duds, too!!

[Ohhhh no. Oh no, this wasn't supposed to happen, this is the exact opposite of what's supposed to happen. Ryuunosuke's hands tighten on the railing for a moment before he abruptly moves. The dim lighting in the room makes it a bit hard to tell, but there are stairs leading down from the balcony and he'll be taking those quickly.]

You... You've still got Tsukiyama, you'll... you'll be okay.

[His voice is hesitant though and Ryuunsouke's shaking by the time he reaches the bottom of the stairs. He's not sure if he should approach. He probably shouldn't.]

[feistytrader]

You really think he'll be okay if you're gone? That I'll be okay?

[His ribs are still kind of super broken, but he doesn't care. He heads over to Ryuunosuke as quickly as he can, wraps his arms around him, and buries his head in his good shoulder.]

I can forgive you for all of this. It's gonna take time, but I can do it.

[He doesn't care anymore, he's been so thoroughly broken and hurt and used all of his life, and what's a little more of that in the face of someone that's made him feel genuinely happy--?]

I won't forgive you if you leave.

[greatestcool]

[It hurts like hell and he knows he shouldn't, but as soon as Silver hugs him, Ryuunosuke returns it. He's careful, of course, because Silver's ribs are still broken and he really doesn't want to agitate them any.]

...I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[He's surprised to find that he is. He's never felt guilt like this before and it's crushing. How do normal people handle it?]

I... I'll see what I can do, I... I'm sorry...

[feistytrader]

...Good.

[He can't say it's okay, or that he forgives him. Not yet.

But he grips onto him tightly as if Ryuunosuke's going to leave him the second he lets go. It hurts, but not nearly as much as seeing him gone for good would.]

Come on. Let's get out of here.

[greatestcool]

I need to talk to him first. Explain things.

[He's got a lot of shit to explain...]

I'll... I'll go handle it in a minute, just...

[Just let him stay like this for a little while longer.]

[feistytrader]

[Silver fully rests his head in Ryuunosuke as his response. He gets it. A little while like this isn't going to kill anyone.

The two of them can stay like this, just for a little longer.]
