The Murderverse is a loose Shared Universe of hybrid Play-by-Post Game-slash-Social Deduction Games hosted first on the TV Tropes forums and then on Trouble Cube.

But we trope that over on the main wiki.

This page is for troping private and questionably-canonical Discord shenanigans.

These shenanigans consist of "cubes" (freeform RP) and "vignettes" (short murdergames).

The "normal" cubes:

  • The Time Cube: A regular cube with no special traits.
  • Simultaneous Harmonious Four Corner Casino Night Zone: A cube taken over by Robotnik and turned into a casino, though people often ignore this. Contains a gacha machine filled with random prizes.
  • Punching Cube: A cube full of Training Dummies.
  • Borat Cube For Make Party Glorious Napping Of Kazakhstan: A slumber party was once held in this cube, and instead of cleaning up afterwards, the residents decided to just leave everything there and designate it the nap zone.
  • Resurrection Cube: A cube that once served as the base for the Fragment Foundation, the only remaining sign of which is the free-use resurrection machine.

The "gimmick" cubes:

  • Murder School: A High School AU.
  • Self-inserts And Deities: A cube where only those two types of people are allowed.
  • Chatroom: A chatroom. Formerly known as "Fragchat", until the disbandment of the Fragment Foundation.
  • Waiting Room Cube: A cube for characters scheduled to appear in an upcoming murdergame.
  • Ghost McDonald's: A McDonald's where Killed Off for Real characters hang out.
  • Villain Club: A hangout for Card Carrying Villains.
  • Play Uno, but RP: A room where characters can play a certain card game named after a numeral.note 

As for vignettes, those number in the dozens, and will not be listed here unless someone really wants to.

We can't prove it, but we promise that this private Discord roleplay contains examples of:

  • Afterlife Antechamber: The cubes are a strange place where the dead hang out before whatever they do next — and, curiously, the living can freely enter and exit as well. The only people who can't appear in the cubes are the ones confirmed to be Killed Off for Real.
  • Anvil on Head: In Self-Insert Vignette 2, Pizzacatcher Point kills Lord X by dropping an anvil on him. After MP is executed (for, coincidentally, also killing Lord X), Point opts to be executed as well, and Gnash executes her by dropping another anvil on her head.
  • Back from the Dead: The Fragment Foundation has a machine that can resurrect the dead, and they use it liberally. Even after the Foundation disbands, the machine remains accessible and in use.
  • Came Back Wrong: Played for Laughs; when "host2" was resurrected after his execution in The Turned Tables to host Murderverse Piracy Screen, he randomly gained a piratical accent.
  • Chewing the Scenery: Timeline Master Princess Peach does this as she demands food.
    TM Princess Peach: GIVE POPCORN. GIVE MILLET. GIVE GRAINS. GRAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSS.
  • Fan-Created Offspring: Inari Dreemurr, host of The Murdergame that Never Was among other things, is the child of Kris (from Deltarune) and Pico (from his self-named series).
  • "Groundhog Day" Loop: Timeline Master Ozzy is particularly fond of time loops. She subjected Kennifer to one as an experiment... which she actually did on Groundhog Day.
  • Killing in Self-Defense: In The Murdergame that Never Was, Amanda accidentally killed Simon Blackquill when he barged into her cabin drunkenly swinging his sword around and she was trying to drive him off.
  • Mundane Afterlife: Permadead characters, both good and bad, hang around in "Ghost McDonald's", which by all appearances is literally just an ordinary McDonald's that they can't leave other than to go to the Taco Bell down the street.
  • Only Sane Man: Springtrap, in contrast to the batshit insane cast of Triple Party Havoc, is more level-headed and rational.
  • Pass the Popcorn: As the chaos unfolds involving Timeline Master Libre giving food to Timeline Masters Gizmo, Max, and Princess Peach, Timeline Master Cutbug watches the scene from a ceiling fan whilst munching on popcorn, only to be subverted with Timeline Meowster Lamorak alongside Princess Peach coming up to them to demand their popcorn, and Libre giving them one of his pop tarts.
  • Percussive Therapy: After some events, Vivi creates the punching cube to punch the shit out of some training dummies and satisfy her feline hunting instinct.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Timeline Master Libre leaves the Time Cube after a chaotic moment involving giving food to Timeline Masters Gizmo, Max, and Princess Peach. Bandana Waddle Dee does the same thing not long after, following Princess Peach, Gizmo and Timeline Meowster Lamorak screaming for food.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The RP chatrooms are all described as cubes of some kind, starting with "#the-time-cube" and "#simultaneous-harmonious-four-corner-robotnik-cube", in reference to Gene Ray's most famous work.
    • #borat-cube-for-make-benefit-glorious-nation-of-kazakhstan is, of course, a reference to Borat.
  • Sorting Algorithm of Deadness: While most dead characters can come back on the whim of their roleplayers, those confined to Ghost McDonald's are generally accepted as not returning... in the foreseeable future, at least.
  • Story Arc: The murdergame vignettes have a major arc involving the Virus Fragments, continuing from where .EXE 3.0 left off
  • Super-Empowering: Vivi uses a magicked prism containing an illusion of a meteor shower to give Cutbug the Echo... to her great confusion, as they are not a sundered Amaurotine and so she was not actually expecting that to work.
  • That Old-Time Prescription: Vivi, being well-versed in both botany and alchemy, is able to produce lots of kinds of medicine from plants, such as extracting estrogen from yams for her HRT.
  • What's a Henway?: Updike, the host of Friday Vignette Funkin, frequently falls victim to Ligma and Updog jokes so much that many of the cast keep throwing out the jokes, regardless of how he feels over it.
