CMO 5.0 (special edition)
Voicetesting:
[in order: Jupiter, Alfonse, and Little Mermaid]
In The Mood For:
[in order: Sayaka, Camilla, Linhardt, Carmelita, Hapi, and Jeritza]
Rules:
♥ Down for pretty much anything with these characters, though I do have a few memes I'm craving in particular; generic murdergame, last words, abrupt kissing, and nursed back to health. Of them, the first two are the highest priorities, though I am a sucker for shippy shit so /scalehands
♥ I'm down for pretty much everything with the voicetesting crew in particular, give me that good content. Everyone else I'd prefer to discuss an idea with first.
♥ Only stipulation is no smut on this post! I am down for it depending on the character (gonna be a firm no on Jupiter and Alfonse's end though), but I'd prefer to keep it under lock and key on another post.
♥ Shipping prefs! If y'all are down for something shippy, my main stipulations are that Jupiter is F/F only, strong pref for M/M on Alfonse's end, and strong pref for F/F on Camilla's end. Otherwise go nuts.
♥ Otherwise, have fun! I will simply state that these are the only characters I'm willing to bring out for this post, though, just as a fair warning.

Little Mermaid | SINoALICE
generic murdergame prompts
Age: ??? | Species: Mermaid. | Occupation: Former princess of the sea.
Likes: Beautiful things, unrequited love, tragedies, Hans Christian Andersen.
Dislikes: Happy endings, those who wallow in their own misery, being dissected.
Trivia: Little Mermaid wants to resurrect her own author so she can make her story even more miserable.
act of peace
[The Little Mermaid is likely a strange one, even amongst the many people in this game. She seems perfectly affable and willing to talk to others, most of the time; she answers their questions easily, though with a bit of a detached air about her. Other times, she can be found weeping; it seems she does that quite often. There's almost always a sort of sad air around the Little Mermaid, and to those who at least know of the story her author wrote, it's likely no surprise that she's miserable.
Even so, it's been a week and somehow, nobody has died yet. If anything, the Little Mermaid expected this tragic story to begin that much quicker; for someone to be the first to plunge a dagger into someone, and for their sorrows to collectively begin to pile up. It's strange that it hasn't. The Little Mermaid can't help but feel the people who are relishing in the fact that nobody has died yet extremely shallow. Don't they know that something truly beautiful is on the horizon...? The sorrow to come, the beautiful pain of loss.
How deeply shallow of the people.
It's what sees the Little Mermaid out and about today; walking about this closed off hotel feels strange, despite how luxurious it is. And yet as the Little Mermaid wanders into the dining area, she regards you a little before grabbing food and taking a seat nearby. She's just sitting here now, it's fine--]
It would seem that we have somehow made it through this week, despite the tragedy our captor wishes to see us inflict upon one another. [...] Do you believe that we will be able to stay this course?
[...ma'am, this is a hotel dining hall, what the actual fuck.]
act of sorrow
[It didn't take much longer for the games to begin. A motive had been passed to those among them--it had been something simple, really. A secret that would destroy the very life of the person holding it, if they did not act upon rule 7. It was a creative motive, the Little Mermaid could admit, but she also found it laughably pathetic. Even so, it would be the perfect catalyst.
And boy, was the Little Mermaid not wrong. Someone sweet had managed to die; someone she wept and wept for, when they all found the body. Oh, what a tragedy it was, to see them slumped against a wall, their blood painting it red. There were many reactions among them; outrage. Horror. Despair. Tears. Though the Little Mermaid wept and wept, perhaps someone more eagle eyed could have seen her expression underneath her hands.
She was smiling. Oh, the sounds of sorrow were ever beautiful, and were even more so in the trial itself. Whether or not she'd been accused at any point (though she'd definitely cry and try to make the accuser feel bad for doing so), the Little Mermaid was not involved, and the culprit's demise...oh, it was icing on the cake. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
It's the afterparty that comes that sees the Little Mermaid among them all, in the dining hall where the food is laid out. She's sitting rather far away from the rest, though she seems to be observing everyone who's here. Her gaze is strangely at ease, despite it all, and despite the tears that still flow freely from her. And yet, she speaks to herself, writing in what appears to be a notebook while sighing...]
...How strange it is. The world truly is more beautiful this way.
[M A ' A M]
act of ???
[Welcome to the wildcard option! I am kind of not great at writing too many prompts at once and I will probably get back to these this evening, but I did wanna lay out some extra options in case anyone wanted to mess around with shit. Or you can just hit me with something! Either way works.
- If we have a Dojo, one might find the Little Mermaid in there during various parts of the day. She's uh. Scarily competent with all sorts of weapons? Like, swords, lances, axes, bows, SINoALICE kind of lets everyone be a part of the weapon triangle all at once. Feel free to bump into her here!
- If we have a Pool, you can definitely find the Little Mermaid in there semi-often. Listen, she is a simple misery-lover, she likes to swim.
- One thing I'd definitely love to play with is the fact that she does not wear shoes in most of her class outfits. So uh, if you wanna yell at her about that or help her with likely foot injuries, I'm down for this as well.
- If we have a music room of some kind, one of SINoALICE's classes is the Minstrel! Which means she can play instruments quite well, but canonically, she has a preference for string instruments; particularly harps. If you wanna do some shit with that, lemme know!
- Honestly if you just wanna straight up murder this bitch, I give you my full blessing. Get her ass. Same goes for the reverse too! I actually kind of do have an idea if anyone wants to get McFucking Murdered by her so like. 👀 hmu if you're down???
- ...I'm also down for mastermind talks if you wanna play the mastermind in this scenario, because. Let's be honest, she could absolutely be a mole? Or just talk to the mastermind too much about misery and shit. I'm so sorry in advance for her.]

So as a result she had spent most of the afterparty trying to sleep, until she opens one eye sleepily to glance at Mermaid sitting close enough to hear her. No surprise there that the other girl had taken the proceedings in such a way, and for a moment, Beauty allows herself to speak.]
It's quieter now... without them.
[The victim, and the culprit she means.]
... If more die, maybe it will be quiet enough to finally sleep.
[BEAUTY NO]
no subject
It is quieter. Much so. Even the weeping and tears of the others are performed in a soft silence akin to a lullaby, are they not...?
[There's beauty in that, though it is a lesser beauty to the despair of finding the body.]
You may have to wait weeks, however. For their numbers to thin enough to be granted the sleep you seek...unless they see it fit to cause an even larger tragedy.
[mermaid PLEASE don't suggest that we're gonna start letting all the bodies hit the floor in week 3???]
no subject
[Parrah and Noya, she means.]
act of sorrow
Age: 18 | Species: Human | Occupation: Idol
Likes: Cats, soft colors, reading, winter, things that are perfect
Dislikes: Things that are half-assed, compulsive liars, loud mouths, inconsiderate people
Trivia: Tenn shares a lot of preferences with his twin brother.
[ Tenn Kujo may have lived a relatively normal life compared to some of the others here, but he's certainly not one to be underestimated, either. He's got a sharp eye and pays attention to little details -- as one must when they're striving for perfection, really -- so he doesn't miss the look on the Little Mermaid's face as she weeps. ... No, that wasn't weeping, that was a farce. He narrows his eyes, committing that pathetic smile of hers to memory, and he's not about to let her live it down, either.
Especially not while she's staring at everyone like that despite the tears rolling down her cheeks. Tenn approaches her almost immediately after everyone settles in at the afterparty, hands on his hips. ]
Hey.
[ It doesn't sound like a greeting, though. ]
What's wrong with you?
no subject
[The Little Mermaid's gaze goes to Tenn when he speaks up, gaze upon him almost neutral in a strange way. Seeming to consider, before tilting her head.]
There is nothing wrong with me. I am simply taking part in the festivities like all others.
Is there something wrong with that?
no subject
[ He narrows his eyes. He can't wrap his head around why anyone would see such an ugly trial as something to be marveled at. ]
Explain.
no subject
[...Okay, well. That manages to get something irritated out of the Little Mermaid's tone, and her eyes narrow right back at him.]
Ah, I see. You're too shallow to appreciate such things. [things sane people should be saying: not this.] It is simple, truly; the world is at it's most beautiful when everyone is shedding tears. Don't you see it? The sorrow in their hearts, brought to bear...?
[The Little Mermaid sniffles, shedding a tear as she looks beyond Tenn, to the others, and her tone almost seems reverent. Soft, even.]
It is beautiful beyond compare. And the sorrow in mine as well, it is beautiful. This painful feeling of loss...
[...i'm so sorry]
no subject
[ He can't agree with this. There's no way. His purpose as an idol is to make people happy, to bring smiles to his fans and touch the hearts of people all over; to think that seeing people in pain could be seen as beautiful makes him feel sick. ]
This place has brought us nothing but unnecessary pain. Sorrow is inevitable, and the only way to move forward is to take that pain and learn from it, but there's nothing to learn from any of this. There's nothing beautiful about reveling in the results of someone else's death.
act of peace, this is going to get so stupid
(He would have preferred meeting the Sea Witch of course, but beggars can't be choosers, he supposes.)
... Another world's version of the Little Mermaid, almost certainly, but there's still something intriguing about it. About her. She's so different from what the story in his world would have indicated. It's fascinating.
... If also a little concerning? Ma'am, are you okay?
He looks up from his food when he sees her take a seat, and nods in acknowledgement of his fellow merperson. He's about to go back to his ceviche when she speaks up and--
MA'AM???? Still, though, it'd be rude to not answer her question... His smile is as polite as ever despite the topic at hand.]
Oh, most certainly not. I'm almost certain someone will break eventually.
[God, this is just. Something he's talking about now, he guesses. This is a hotel dining hall?????]
i cannot WAIT and god, jade does not deserve this mess
Yes, that is true. It is likely that our captor will see his passivity as a folly; I doubt that he will continue to stay idle, and allow us to keep living this...boring, shallow life here. It is but a matter of time.
[The way she says that is pretty detached, really, though the ghost of a smile seems to grace her lips. It's likely just your imagination as she takes another bite of food.]
It will likely be unpleasant.
no subject
He takes a bite of his food, chewing thoughtfully.]
He'll probably find a way to spur us into action, one way or another. I suppose at this point it's just a matter of waiting to see if he'll favor the carrot or the stick.
[His smile doesn't falter even as he says something like that, as calm as if he's commenting on the weather. He doesn't like this line of thought, but honestly, he's just being realistic. (Some may say he's being pessimistic or cynical, but this isn't exactly a scenario that inspires hope.)]
It will undoubtedly be very unpleasant-- [A pause.] --And a shock to the more optimistic ones' systems when someone finally breaks.
