#there is probably a lot of trauma thatd come from having to kill someone at that young which i doubt the books will actually delve into | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

what are some characters you might wanna involve in murder mystery plot, or any ideas you might have for that? you can also do this for the until dawn plot if you want although i know we've been sitting on that for much shorter a time

maive dies again, and,

but no really it might be interesting to have her involved. maybe to help with investigation and talking to any victims who get brought back (because she knows a thing or two about that). or... it might be interesting if he role as, well, the victim of the LAST big murder problem came out somehow and kind of changed how she interacts with people in general, given whats going on? actually maybe i should talk to tony, that might be something good and lowkey to occupy freddie. anyway.

speaking of the hannibal cast, if alana is pretty central in investigating, margot will surely be involved SOMEhow. im not sure how exactly, whether... she gets dragged in trying to help alana on the side, or if by then shes taken on a bit bigger of a role thatd require her to get involved. i don’t think ill have her get killed off, girl’s had more than enough trauma, but maybe some kind of close call to bring some extra tension in? or someone from the cast should probably have a moment of getting Too Close, but... maybe thatll be margot, maybe not.

and then another obvious one: maria. i don’t know, i’m kind of torn... on the one hand, she’s died a lot already, and too much more would be overkill. on the other hand, she’s never had that experience while being more aware of like. what’s going on with it. though... i always kind of linked her ability to respawn to silent hill’s prescence, so it’ll kinda depend how the revamp shakes out, and/or when the murder mystery plot happens. maybe if some of sh’s elements are still in place in one of the locations i can still justify it. or, hell, i suppose there might be interesting if she has to be revived through different means and it has a.... different effect on her. maybe not anything to angstbait-y and awful, but ive never explored how much she really is technically a monster, so. anyway she might get murdered if only because killing maria responds to getting murdered at this point with “oh not again” so it doesn’t feel as. heavy.

laurel’s been involved in a lot of stuff, so unless opportunity presents itself i might have her sit out most of it. she’s done her time

winter.... hmnn. if one of the victims is a non-human he might get involved, trying to make sure they get noticed and theres repercussions, but otherwise maybe not.

my cats probably won’t, unless other cats are involved.

nyssa.... will care, though i might keep her restrained to having minor subplots just worrying about it without getting too involved

wow i really need to pick up some more high muse characters to do this kinda stuff.

and then, until dawn plot.... i mean, i think it’ll be interesting enough alone to have them coming under the knowledge that Shit’s Going Down. you know, we could always justify it by having them suspicious that hannibal’s involved? thatd probably explain all of them showing up. hmmnn

situations like this are good for like... bringing out heavy intense conversations from people, which might be good for a few of them sort of getting stuff of their chests. i don’t know what yet until we’ve planned a bit more, buut. also this is probably a good situation for one of those... cheesy “one character gets injured and the other helps bandage them up and it’s kind of intimate or at least weirdly comforting” moments. who wants to get dragged off! haha no maybe not that injured.

if there’s not a dramatic scene involving a stag then what are we doing here, really.

actually it kind of depends on how involved this is all gonna be -- if it’s only a couple rps vs them being stuck there for a while. though i feel like it would be very cathartic for the hannibal cast to get to burn down a building together.

really, not to drag the until dawn cast, but i feel like the hannibal cast would. cope a bit better and become less of a disaster. sorry!

#denny is a cursed place #oh this is pretty vague #i should make some more concrete plans with people #hmmnnn #rorykillmore

im also thinking about having the one i still havent fucking named yet. their reincarnation on earth’s name is crystal. not actually die after they kill their higher up in his sleep bc liike......... SOMEONE meets them there and if its stardust............ stardust meets crystal as crystal and saves them from something on Earth and crystal is............. very much hmm. awake. they see into Earth in abstract ways (idk whats with the doors but when barren tries to enter their mind theyve got a huge hallway full of doors and lights that switch off when they come after barren like. as if theyre like office lights but they dont really understand) and like.............................................. where im at atm is that if stardust goes with whoever to that higher ups room, sees (crystal) has already killed them, and (c) is ready to die, they will probably ask stardust about that?? They probably wont understand what exactly happened bc like......... thats like someone from fucking ancient rome seeing visions of modern america its not.............. going to be digestible unless its slightly abstract........................ but im sure something as fucking monumental as seeing an angelic spirit literally manifest in light in front of you here on Earth is something that’’ make an impression on your soul................. and (c)/crystal are fucking good at what they do. i want them to ask about it. and since stardust, who goes between worlds consciously, is going to fucking know who crystal is and recognise that they and barren (stardust’s grandchild) have a lot in common........... theres no fucking way he’d let them jump out that window if they started questioning things, and they would have so many questions having realised that. ugh. basically -

(c) is brought up as a servant to fill the hole that barren left behind when barren was basically kicked out. Barrens excellent at receiving visions and shit, (c)’s existence is basically ther higher ups finding out the limits of the demos mind in psychism and pushing them

(c) sees a lot of shit and knows theyre good at what they do, but their higher ups dont want to see them exploring other worlds. they therefore have a lot of uncertainties about their abilities and how Sane they fucking are because of the gaslighting

(c) gets to know barren secondhandedly as they start making an impact on the world, fucking up some plans and shit. (c) doesnt like them at first but starts to realise......... theres more to this life than just following orders out of fear. things can be different no matter how scary that is. seeds are planted

(c) ends up doing the mindwalking thing with barren (where they enter someone elses mind, a rare art that currently only barren and they know, and stardust is kinda taught by the god Moonshine) and realises theyve gone through similar trauma w the same higher ups................ seeds beginning to sprout

(c) finally fucking snaps and ends up killing one of their higher ups in their sleep bc look. the worlds out to get barren and they can do one little thing.......... they dont have to be right, because they plan to kill themselves right after doing it, tired of being abused and of what the higher ups are doing.................. the main characters and they converge at this point

if stardust is there.................. then im SURE since (c) is literally on the fucking edge that they can finally ask like. they have suspicions that stardust is Sol bc they see a lot of fucking shit. but they wont ask that bc hes keeping quiet for a reason and if theyre right............................................... they ask if stardust was the one who saved them in The Other World (without being explicit beyond “did you save me”) and stardust is like.......... see............. left with this fucking decision and imt rying to decide what hed do. He knows the potency of that question - it means (c) knows about Earth. it means they dont know that they know earth. it means they will have a huge amount of questions and a boost to their self worth if he says yes............... but theyve just done something that will get them tortured and killed, theyre planning on dying for a reason. Does he say yes and give them back all their potential just before their death?? Or does he say no and disappoint them.............. because. oh i forgot to mention. (c) has a patron Higher Demos and considering Stardust is actually the fucking god-king of them its like................ (c) will find out after death the truth and this patron (or technically matron, i think ill make Mother their matron/guardian) will tell them why stardust lied but like..................... does he give this potential back when theyre really resoled for good reason to die (so they dont get tortured and then killed)?

i was thinking of having stardust say yes, have them start waking up to themselves and realising theyve got so many questions and things they can finally talk about and “oh shit!! Wait if these things are real then holy shit, this world isnt everything there is and i think i understand” but. of course theres guards going around and they were supposed to do this super fast get in and get out so theyll probably get spotted............ im thinking about having stardust rescue them as they either get in trouble or go to finish it out of fear bc tbh...................... stardust speaks in actions more than words, not that he doesnt talk but after having taken part in the fucking war against siirka hes....... extremely conscious of the power he has over this life and the impact his actions have on everyone, but i think. him dropping that and reacting instinctually to save this person that was seemingly the enemy......... either he fucking loses his demos form to rescue them if he doesnt get to the window in time, or he’ll pull them forward and touching skin to skin is what activates mindwalking (but the less meditatvely you enter it the less control you have over what you see and whose mind is walked into) so. thatd be a fascinating way to show the connected memories of crystal and stardust and also some bits and pieces i havent been able to show elsewhere. OR! since crystal trying to die has given up, maybe thats a fucking GREAT opportunity to see into THEIR mind alone because theyve let down their self-preserving instincts! Thats how barren gets to see theyve gone through similar trauma, because when barren mindwalks into their mind theyve got the upper hand bc they fucking KNOW what! OH! the song i have for that scene just started playing. anyway they fucking KNOW what theyre doing more than barren! But when barren’s guard gets eaten up basically and (c) starts seeing the shit barrens gone through at the hands of their shared hgher ups their own guard drops and barren gets to see the related memories in (c)’s own mind............ so maybe.......... now (c), finally resolved and aware of their whole life now that its about to be ended, will be mentally open enough for SD to accidentally be pulled into their head

the timeline tho............. stardust has a few reveals and theres only a limited amount of mindwalks i can do with him before im having to actively be like “whoops i guess yet again the important info just HAPPENED to be missed!!” because ive already got. once with barren. Thats when they meet Moonshine and he tries to teach barren more about mindwalking, BUT since Moonshines a mental deity barrens physically overwhelmed like fucking blood pouring from the nose and passes out, SD catches them......... so both their guards are down and the mindwalking experience is scrambled to FUCK changing rapidly between memories of both of them both clear and scrambled since oops surprise barren is SD’s grandchild so their essences mix, and its like trying to right a spiralling descending plane but stardust is TRYING to steer barren away from the “Oh Yeah Im Sol And Your Grandfather” memories................ i can only get away with those memories not being there a VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIMES. sure (c) and stardust have abstracted memories of Earth to anchor on but............. i cant keep having Stardusts mind explored while staying away from Sol. i cant. this story is supposed to be pieced together in clues i cant have like fifty million “heres stardust!”s and then be like “oh and hes sol!!” ya know.............. and stardust and (c) are possibly supposed to experience another mindwalk after moonshine so like. ugh. i dont. UGH i dont know
