THE MASTERMIND AU
NICK V. CN EDITION

It's time for Nick vs. CN's mastermind meme!

To those who aren't familiar, this is essentially an AU where your character is the one responsible for Nick v CN'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; was your character just another pawn in the grand scheme of things, 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!!

Actually, the winner got 2000 dollars if you still want to try for that!

[That would be great Ren please try that.]

However, even though you guys never signed contracts, you aren't legal citizens of this world, so I'm not required to actually pay you anything. And that also means you can't file a lawsuit once you get out.

[Sorry Ren.]

[trustyboomerang]

The meat thing? Yeah, that was an accident. I was gonna turn you into something else, but the wand slipped out of my hands.

[It was really funny, though.]

I did not think Vegeta would try to eat you.

[pectoralmutt]

More like crappy ones like your disgusting nose goblin head.

[And here he goes to tackle Zim.]

[babyhater]

[Okay Panda has several new questions.]

Why did you want to hold me hostage a second time if you wanted to be my friend?

[beautifulmistakeofnature]

We didn't care about you...?

[Wirt's voice drifts off, astounded at that. He shakes his head slowly, back and forth, at that assertion.]

How can you say that? We were devastated when we thought Daffy killed you. We wanted to help and protect you the best we could.

[trustyboomerang]

Hey, I gave you guys some great rooms! Even a pool and a dojo.

[His smile slowly turns into a scowl.]

You sound rather ungrateful. If you'd all just given into despair like I wanted you to, then you would't have had to suffer.

[trustyboomerang]

[Madman. Enthusiasm. Those things go hand in hand.

His smile drops and he stares at Wirt blankly.]

They are. All of them are. Not just them. There's so many people to blame. Entire nations to blame.

[His smile comes back as he looks at Monobear.]

Should we have some fun with him?

[The Monobear nods, throwing its arms in the air.]

Let's play a guessing game, upupupupu~. What was once delicate, yet strong, but impaled oh so easily?

I don't know, Monobear! Let's let Wirt guess.

[babyhater]

Don't lie! The only reason you guys were horrified was that there was a dead body! You couldn't have cared less about me! I mean The Greatest Brother wouldn't have picked you guys if you weren't deserving of it!

[babyhater]

[Panda can't help but feel extremely disappointed at this Mastermind already, which is something he never expected to feel. How did this bug kid even manage to kidnap even one of them?]

... You're joking, right?

[trustyboomerang]

[Going to keep antagonizing you.]

If you looked more menacing I'd be more terrified. All I see is a panda who loves anime, his brother's cooking, and was willing to give everyone a chance.

[babyhater]

I didn't even like the dojo!

[Probably not the thing he should be focusing on.]

Why would you even want to bring us into despair?

[babyhater]

[Panda folds his arms.]

Maybe when I was a child, but I'm not willing to give terrible people like you a chance!

[beautifulmistakeofnature]

[Slowly, shallowly, Wirt breaths in and out. In. Out. Trying to think of what to say next. Even with so little being said, there's a lot going on, and really. While he should tread carefully, that's near impossible anyway considering Sokka's disposition.]

Sokka. You can't just...blame everyone, for Suki dying. I. I still don't know every detail, but they couldn't have done anything to stop it.

You couldn't have done anything to stop it.

[beautifulmistakeofnature]

[Holy shit.

Wirt just stands there, mouth open dumbly as he stares at the screen.]

That.

That can't be real.

[beautifulmistakeofnature]

I don't now why the...Greatest Brother picked us. And there are some people...like Daffy...who weren't good people.

But do you really think we didn't care? You were so scared, and alone and...I can understand that. I'm not strong either, Panda. I know what that's like. I wanted to help you.

....I thought we were friends.

[trustyboomerang]

Well why not? It's wonderful! Once you realize that not matter what you do, you'll fail in the end. You'll die anyways, so why not embrace what makes it great!

[He sounds almost gleeful about this.]

Junko Enoshima. She's the one who showed everyone how amazing despair can be! She's like a goddess! I'm sad I never got to meet her... she's been dead for a while now. So I started this to honor her! Seeing everything she's done opened my eyes... everything that's happened to me during the war has sent me into so much despair... it's a real nice feeling.

[Evidence list!]

[pectoralmutt]

I know, you must be thinking 'that old Hoek is a liar after that fake motive'.

Well I got The Button.

If you wanna test me, I'll take out what's left of Alaska!

[trustyboomerang]

[Monobear stomps its feet and growls loudly]

YOU'RE NOT PLAYING THE GAME RIGHT! I'LL PUNISH YOU IF YOU DON'T ANSWER MY QUESTION RIGHT NOW!

[Sokka sit down on his throne and watches Wirt with what could only be described as hatred.]

... you better answer Monobear's question. Those boards can be broken oh so easily.

[pectoralmutt]

You weren't friend material yet.

That's what the game is for! To make you WORTHY of my friendship!

[trustyboomerang]

[He frowns, watching his friend carefully.]

.... Terrible person?

[beautifulmistakeofnature]

[Are you for real right now?

Wirt runs his hands slowly through his hair, taking a breath again to compose himself. He doesn't want to play this game, doesn't want to humor whatever insane feelings and fantasies Sokka harbors right now. But at the same time, he doesn't want to be sent screaming to his death in the abyss either.]

The answer is Suki.

[There, are you happy now? Can we move on?]

[beautifulmistakeofnature]

I-

Alaska? Really?

What did Alaska do to you?

[trustyboomerang]

BZZT! WRONG! You get one more guess. Lemme give you a hint! Chirp, chirp little bird~

[Sokka's smile slowly comes back as he rests his hands on his lap. Oh, this was going better than expected. Wirt was still fighting him! This was great! That just means he has to work harder to make this little man break... piece by fragile little piece.]

Tick tock, tick tock. Better answer fast.

[trustyboomerang]

Total... Drama.... Murder House?

[First of all what the fuck. Second of all WHAT THE FUCK. This is... very much not that Sokka had expected. Not in the least. This guy looked way too happy about this.]

.... what's a reality show?

[pectoralmutt]

Someone needs to keep those elves in line. They think they can hide forever just cause I took away their North Pole?!

[Yes this guy has a dangerous amount of power.]
