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.

[There is no shock. Uuji has always been fully aware of what Irisu's capable of. It is through turning a blind eye that he's indirectly an accomplice in all of this. Then again, he didn't imagine Irisu to prefer slow psychological torture to the efficiency of a quick murder. Neither did he ever expect her to turn her rage against anyone but the people in their group. Most of all, he never imagined she'd do something like this after gaining so many friends. A sigh.]

Are you satisfied now, Irisu Kyouko?

[He wishes he could discard all feelings toward her at this moment but, to be honest, there's a bittersweet beauty in Irisu finally being at peace with the way she lives her life.]

Not yet.

[She glares down at Uuji. The shadow dissipates just a little as she looks down at the boy she's so fond of. For the "role" she cast herself as in her previous life, there were some feelings that carried over.]

Since the day I was born, I've never felt happiness as I do now. But it's not enough. Everything that was still lingers.

Do you understand?

[catstory]

...Yeah.

[Both the good and the bad feelings. Even then, it's a rather blurred line.]

I know this doesn't make you happy. Not suffering. Not despair.

Are you simply trying to escape from it all? To dismiss your entire life as a story?

That's how it seems to you, then. On the other side, I'm just taking back what's mine. This is the meaning that I'm giving everything.

[A disappointing answer. She wished he could be a little bit more, well... understanding. So be it then. He'll just have to learn. She lays down her quill and book by her side and stands up.]

Uuji. You, and only you, I will save.

[For the mask of cruelty she wore, now, she leaves the shadows and reveals her true face to Uuji, the only person she could trust. The redness of her eyes came from all the crying. Tears still stream, little by little. She walks towards Uuji, her dress being dragged across the glass floor.]

I didn't want to do this. I didn't want things to get this far. B-but... as it turns out. Wonderland is the only place for me.

And it can be your place too, Uuji. If... if you'd like.
