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.

"I-It wasn't!" He suddenly blurts, looking back up at Lysandre with tears rolling freely down his face this time. By now he's trembling uncontrollably and makes no effort to try and hold back his emotions any longer. This is quite a lot of information to try and accept all at once, but now he understands why Heloise didn't tell him before.

Even through his tears he seems defiant, choking back a sob as he raises his voice, "I-I'm not a bad person! I'd....I'd never...." Hurt anyone? Lie? Cheat? Steal? ...Kill? There's no way he can prove that without knowing what his former life was like. For all he knows he could have murdered someone in a psychotic act, only to be executed or to die of undetermined causes at a young age.

He tenses a little at the tears, though it's distinctly at odds with his expression; he's smirking a little, though it's far from a nice look.

"Wouldn't you...?" He toys with that bracelet a little as he speaks. "Not even to save someone you cared about?"

...Would he? It's a question that he honestly can't give a definitive yes or no answer to. His first answer is no, of course he wouldn't. But then he starts thinking about his friends....especially Beezy.....Heloise.

His breath catches in his throat that causes what he was going to say to die on his tongue. Shaking, Jimmy reaches up to try and wipe the tears from his face. Honestly, he'd take a bullet for all of his friends if given the chance. There's no doubt he'd let his own life be taken for the sake of someone else.

But....killing to protect someone is an entirely different story. ...yet, he can't honestly stand there and say that he wouldn't.

That lack of a response doesn't deter Lysandre from continuing; if anything, it seems to be encouraging him. "We also don't know what sort of morality scale Hell operates on, do we - does it focus on why you did something, or just on what you did? Perhaps you died a hero, but had to kill someone to save another. Perhaps what you did was an accident - you didn't mean to cause harm but the fact is that you did, and as far as your afterlife is concerned, that's what matters."

He clasps his hands lightly, folding them in front of him. "It hardly seems fair when it's put that way. Does it?"

He's not sure how to answer that, so still he keeps quiet. He does nod a little though, nervously rubbing his forearm as more tears manage to find their way down his face. No, it doesn't seem fair. It doesn't make sense, and has left him wondering....what was he really like, before? Is the entire lifestyle he's been living for so long just....something he's constructed himself?

...a lie?
