the mastermind meme

[monomods]

 

You asked for it, we're finally giving it to you! Say hello to the mastermind meme!

What does this mean exactly? It means your character is the one responsible for everything! They've been controlling Monobear from the shadows (or maybe they have an assistant to help them, possibly even one of your classmates!), they've been putting forth the motives, running the trials, all of it! And now they've finally chosen to reveal themselves and their true motives.

What are their motives? Why do they want to spread despair? Are they somehow connected to the late Junko Enoshima? And most importantly what is their snazzy Monobear-themed look like? You decide!

Threading reactions is highly encouraged and feel free to AU things up to mix up our current survivor pool as much as you'd like.

Hey, little Alice in Wonderland, how long are you going to be up there? Do I need to find a white rabbit to make you notice little old me...?

[He waves up at her, grinning like...well, a Cheshire Cat. We're all mad here, huh?]

Or are you too busy writing?

[rabbitscoughmed]

[She glares down at Sam (glares, since as she is now, that's how she looks at people by default). It was true; she did help hide his true identity. Not even the writer can control every last aspect of her characters. The results this one brought was grand, but honestly, she still couldn't be too fond of him.

Her quill never loses contact with her book]

You can see for yourself that I am. ... but I can't fathom why you're still standing there, grinning like an idiot.

Are you waiting for your new role, Sam Erstwhile?

[notahappyending]

New role? New role??

[He looks surprised, but it's mockingly so, as his smile just creeps back in. He leans on his podium, still peering up at her with the greatest amusement.]

Nah. No new roles for me. I think it's time I made my own story, don't you think?

[rabbitscoughmed]

[She actually pauses writing for a moment hearing that. A 'new' story? He really doesn't understand.]

That's impossible. My final act of mercy was including you in the 'island of mutual killing' chapter of the old world's end. You lived, yes, but there's no story for someone who lives only to live.

I've closed the gates from which you were spirited away from. I've destroyed your raison d'etre, forced upon you by profound loss. You're a shell of a man and you know this. And as you are, you will never grow. You were formerly Sam and now, you're just a nobody would-be killer, sneering, alone, alive.

Who said I wanted to grow? [Although a few parts of her speech did pick at a few nerves, he easily covers it up, choosing to go on the attack this time.] Oh, Irisu, you're a horrible author, you know that? You don't even get your own characters! Did you think that I'm just going to listen to you and lay down and go think about the horrible, bad things I've done?

[He approaches the bottom of the cage, reaching up to knock on it harshly a few times.]

Hello!! Earth to Irisu!! You're hearing me, right? Keeping yourself in a glass cage isn't going to protect you from the cruel, bad world out there. You're writing yourself into a fairytale that is nothing but lies. What...are you afraid to get eaten up by the big bad wolf, little bunny? Because to me, you're nothing but a weak, sniveling coward who thinks that putting pen to paper will make her somehow forget that the world is ready to eat her up alive.

You're just delaying the inevitable, Irisu.
