the mastermind meme

 

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.

5/5 i'm slightly sorry

[He peeks out from behind the doll, a wild, mischievous smile twisting his features.]

Spoilers!

[Did you really think he was going to give up all the answers right up front like that? Shame on you if so, Aradia.]

no you're not

[ ...He probably wasn't the John they'd woken up on the beach with, if he hadn't been looping for two months. At least Aradia retains enough time-sense to be able to make out that sort of easy-to-guess timeline.

...Always assuming Crazy John wasn't lying his ass off, which it should be noted is a distinct possibility.

It's too bad killing the mastermind is against school rules, because "Spoilers" has never been a particularly helpful answer. ]


...If you're not going to give us any new information, I'd prefer to get on with the trial.

[ NOT ADDRESSING YOUR PARTICULAR BRAND OF CRAZY AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, THANKS. It's not like she can always talk or like she wasn't teammates with crazy people. She can ignore this and focus on the main thing, which is...

...oh wow, the main thing is probably winning a trial against John. That's not a nice thought, but at least she was already used to the idea of him being dead. If they can swing this at all. ]
toheirishuman: (that's not good at all.)

i am slightly sorry for the [...] one but i wanted to do a nice rounded 5/5

So cold...

[He turns the doll back around to face him, now addressing it instead of Aradia herself.]

She's so cold, isn't she? When did that happen, I wonder? Hm??

[He is...apparently listening to the doll now. She holds secrets I guess? Or maybe it's just because John is absolutely coocoo for cocoa puffs at this point. Because the dool sure isn't actually saying anything.]

You're right. Of course you're right, you always are! It doesn't matter. [He hugs the sheep tightly before lowering her down to sit on the podium in front of him.]

We have a show to wrap up here don't we!!? Hehehehe. So let's get to it, shall we? I've got despair to spread and I don't have all day you know!

[John you are actually the worst mastermind ever what are you even doing. That being said it...might be sort of easy to get him to slip up and spill more than he should? Hell, he's already admitted to looping.]
timelymaid: art by <user name=cheese3d site=tumblr.com> (= sp00ky. serious.)

you are not

[personal profile] timelymaid 2014-02-03 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
...Didn't you want to get to the trial, too? Or did you really want to talk to me?

[ Because right now you seem focused on your doll and also she's pretty sure you want them all dead.

You know, because...despair.

That reasoning never made full sense to her, but she accepted it because not everything in her own universe made sense, either. ]


What are you going to do after this, then?
toheirishuman: (acquire a taste for freeform jazz.)

no i really do feel a little bad I JUST WANTED IT TO BE A NICE ROUNDED 5 /WAILS

[personal profile] toheirishuman 2014-02-07 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It can't be both?

[He doesn't know what he wants, okay? John was quite possibly one of the worst people to have give into despair, he has none of Junko's focus. He's just a scrambling, directionless loose cannon.]

Mmmm...good question! I haven't really thought that far ahead but...I think I might go back to our world and spread despair there too!

[See? he has no concrete plan for how he's going to accomplish this. He's just going to do it. Somehow...]

Ooooo yes I like the sound of that! It'll be so easy too, I think. Just a little prodding here and there... Everyone will come falling down like a house of cards!
timelymaid: art by <user name=strovi site=tumblr.com> (= discussing. well!)

WELL OKAY THEN

[ ...You know, she'd like to say he's wrong, but...well, he was at the center of his friend group more or less, and her friends...

Hell, they wouldn't even take that much prodding, would they? Murdering one another was like their team skill. Which Aradia didn't usually like to talk about, but...it was definitely a thing that was a thing. The meteor trip had only required Gamzee going off sopor, in the end, although there'd been more going on, too.

...It's easy to picture their home falling down like John somehow did. And while she'd said she wanted to see what happened when everything blew up...

Aradia hadn't meant this, she didn't think. ]


Why despair?

[ ...She'd just...kind of like to know. ]
toheirishuman: (guess how many fucks i give?)

[personal profile] toheirishuman 2014-02-10 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[John sighs in a way that seems to suggest he finds the question very quaint. Oh, Aradia...you are so blind to the truth here.]

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop despair from spreading. And there's no other explanation for why that would be, other than that it has to be the state the universe wants to be in.

Get it?

[ Why does that sound like an explanation of paradox space.

Is John suggesting Despair is paradox space? ]


I don't think that's necessarily true. Perhaps certain things were meant to happen, but I don't think that means that the universe requires those same things to happen everywhere?
