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!!

[Oh how wrong you were, Wirt. Sure Stu is a creative-- a father with an almost child-like enthusiasm for his work. But that youthful demeanor of his can so easily get the best of him. Frankly, it happens all too often. He neglects his wife and child to tinker with his inventions by himself but doesn't have the drive to do anything useful with them. Beneath those qualities you once enjoyed you'll find an absolutely detestable manchild.

Stu gestures with the screwdriver in his hand at Wirt almost angrily.]

Can't I? Can't I be serious about something for once? Or are you underestimating me like everyone else does?

[Can you spell "brother issues"?]

[beautifulmistakeofnature]

No! Well, I mean-couldn't you have been serious about something other than death machines?

[lostcontroloflife]

I was!

[More aggressively than before he gestures at the various half-finished inventions around the courtroom.]

I was serious about plenty of things and look where that got me! Rejected! Denied! Disrespected! No one took me or my inventions seriously.

So I took it up a notch. I made something better.

[Stu kicks idly at some scraps of another Monobear lying near his seat.]

I started being more "serious" like everyone wanted.
