[rp] [murder/short term games] Something I want some day: a murder mystery game... where everyone icly and oocly knows it's fake.
raspberrydrink
either the character come along and are given roles or if you wanna get meta
raspberrydrink
the "characters" are the roles and they are legit actors
✶ 𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐨!
i would LOVE something like this
raspberrydrink
ala Airlocked but it's actually NOT real the whole time
𝘴𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘧𝘢𝘦
so like how Airlocked iirc was a reality show, but this time the characters know it
raspberrydrink
YEP
𝘴𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘧𝘢𝘦
maybe with some VR/AR shit going on so during the scenes the characters think it's real?
raspberrydrink
and they have like off screen places to be "ooc" but "ic" is heavily enforced on screen
raspberrydrink

: I considered that too, tho man it'd be a bitch to keep the two separate but could be very worth it
raspberrydrink
but def for sure no one actually dies and there's no actual trauma
raspberrydrink
so people can just go ham
✶ 𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐨!
imo i think "characters THINK it's real" kind of takes away from the fun of 'fake murdergame'
𝓂𝑒𝓇𝓇𝓎 𝒸𝓁𝒶𝓊𝒹𝒾𝓃𝑒
do it like those old-fashioned murder mystery dinner theater shows
✶ 𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐨!
bc then you're essentially still just playing in a murdergame
raspberrydrink
yeah cuz then the trauma is real even if the fallout isn't
𝘴𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘧𝘢𝘦
fair :|a I've never MG'd so
raspberrydrink
the real divide is if it's the characters placating or actors playing the characters
raspberrydrink
^play- acting
raspberrydrink
i like the second more but it DOES kinda require basically making an oc
✶ 𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐨!
i feel like murder mystery would be really fun in a scenario where all the characters already know each other and have an established group dynamic
Happy Hogswatch
honestly the second sounds fun
✶ 𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐨!
the 'victim' sitting at the bar getting wasted and throwing bar nuts at people while they try and solve their murder
raspberrydrink
tone wise tho 100% the clue movie type hijinks
𝘴𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘧𝘢𝘦
the dead people basically being Stantler and Waldorf
raspberrydrink
characters and actors having completely separate cr charts
Phastivus
I'd be down for this as a meme if not an actual round
ᴀʀᴇɴ
this would definitely be a cute meme!
HIKIKOMORTIS
This would be funny AF
jinglehorse
i love this idea so much
Tangent
big body discovery scene where they gather and look for clues and then as they do the dramatic phrase before the commercial definitely gets aired, the victim immediately sits up and lights a cigarette and is like, FINALLY

Phastivus
Corpsing has a double meaning here
Tangent
if the victim is facing away from the "camera" just is there pulling a jonathan frakes and making the goofiest faces at the rest trying to get them to break character.
Phastivus
someone cracks and starts laughing and has to try passing it off as an ic breakdown
Kayskringle
what if the murder victim gets so impatient with the investigators bungling their clue finding that they start going "FINE I'LL DO IT MYSELF" and start doing their best to shove clues in people's faces... Or alternately shoves them INTO clues.
Kayskringle
You might think it's a random trap door opening up and leading you to the spooky basement, but nope, it's the murder victim getting sick of wasted time.

omg
𝓅𝓉𝒶𝓇𝓂𝒾𝑔𝒶𝓃
a victim gets bored and double-casts themselves
𝓅𝓉𝒶𝓇𝓂𝒾𝑔𝒶𝓃
just sticks on a fake mustache and shows up as the bartender or something
