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.

Good! Come, friend, you can help Jumba plan for next round of despair.

[He presses his paw against Lysandre's back, guiding him to his computer.]

Have some good prospective candidates!

[And indeed, there's an entire menu of possible people to kidnap and induce despair onto. Some of which Lysandre might recognize from Kalos.]

[Lysandre is a bit too...well, perplexed about what's going on to protest much, and if anything he just feels sort of numb as Jumba leads him over to the screen; that's quick to be replaced by an overwhelming sense of "...FRIEND YOU MIGHT WANT TO SLOW DOWN," however, because - ]

I'm...sorry, what?

[prefersevilgenius]

Oh! Right! Jumba forgot to explain.

You see, evil genius friend, this was only beginning of despair. Ohana of despair is good, but will need more people to properly spread despair across galaxy. So! Jumba will find more people, show them beauty of despair also. Will keep repeating until ohana is big enough to bring entire Galactic Federation--and most importantly Grand Council--to despair.

YOU KNOW WHAT, SOUNDS LEGIT.]

I have a fair amount of people that will work for this willingly, you know. Promise their lives will be spared and make them feel like sufficiently special, unique individuals and you don't have to pay them to work - they'll pay you for the privilege.

[Jumba grins so widely.] Excellent! Jumba knew evil genius friend would be of great help. And much easier to get funds this way. Let us begin planning.

[HE SO KNEW YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND, LYSANDRE. HE COULD TELL YOU WERE AS CRAZY AS HIM.]

I only ask that you leave Augustine out of any games you may run in the future; really, you're going to give the poor man a heart attack, and I would prefer to not have to deal with the aftermath. You'll break him, but it wouldn't be productive breakage.

I'll handle him, and I'll certainly allow you usage of Team Flare for anything you may need - that would be the organization I'm running. Full of evil geniuses. I'll have to introduce you to Xerosic and the girls.

[Jumba beams at Lysandre.] Perfect! And yes, of course, Lysandre's Augustine will be left out of game, just as Jumba's Pleakley will be. Both are delicate souls, cannot handle spreading despair.

And Jumba will be very happy to meet friend's organization. Jumba takes it they are paying Lysandre?

[holocast]

Five million apiece, to guarantee their lives are spared. I'm also running a rather profitable business on the side - all legitimate, no red tape involved.

[Jumba laughs joyously.] Very good! Jumba could take lessons in evil fundraising from friend.
