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!!

[That explanation makes no sense and raises more questions that it should have, but they have no time for a villainous monologue. Kayneth could have done without another insult to Duster's intelligence, but he'll let this one slide. Only because they're running out of time.]

No.

...Tell us what you're planning to do with all this. [And how to stop it, he almost adds.]

[enjoymyatelier]

Ah, I was planning on letting all the evils of the world end humanity in fire, really, because that's literally the only thing keeping me going. I likely would've collapsed into some sort of despair singularity at some point otherwise, because that's apparently how it's supposed to go, but... well, you know how it is.

[Narrows. Eyes.]

You're doing all this because you're bored? And what's this going to do to us? [Gripping onto the podium with one hand, he stretches the other out towards a wall covered in liquid evil.] If this was your plan all along, why did you make us kill each other?!

[enjoymyatelier]

...When I said this is the only thing keeping me going, I never said "boredom" entered into it. Did you even bother reading any of the evidence I left for you?

Let me spell it out for you --- I am all the evils of the world. The only thing keeping me in existence is the culmination of the sins that humans and other associated beings endlessly perpetuate against each other.

[mindofathief]

Well, yes, I did...

[To be honest, he wasn't around for the explanation of Angra Mainyu. He was busy investigating the room full of embroidery and magic tomes. There was something about a Holy Grail that could grant any wish, but he wasn't aware of what it actually held.]

It means you're running this game so you can survive. All we have to do is stop playing and leave. [He says as he eyes the blackness.] We're done feeding into our despair, right?

[enjoymyatelier]

Are you really naive enough to think you're the only sources of despair and evil in the world? There isn't really a limit to that sort of thing. Believe me, I'd know.
