The Murdergame-verse: Murder-free AU

   "Power? You alright, Elise?"   

c'mon, just the once? then you never have to let him screw with you again.

"What makes you think the color of her voice will change if someone else controls her body?"

well, when you're not separated, you turn the voices of whoever you're controlling red. Ikei goes red, Stew goes red, I go red—it's all red whenever you're in control. same with the Robin, Sylvi and Anabiel from the carnival. their voice changed color depending on who was in the front.

"...Ah, I remember now. You mentioned my brother's voice turning red sometimes, and that was apparently my influence. Still very intriguing."

yeah! I'd imagine it'd be the same for Elise and Teal.

"He keeps telling me he could talk without hijacking my body if he got some more power," Elise says. "He never explains where he gets his power."

"Huh, that's odd."

   "Cut, that is still so cool! What does everyone else sound like? What color is Rebel's voice?"   

Rebel's voice is blue. my family... Shini's purple, Heisenbee's teal, and Mercsy's green. but it's a different green than your green, and it doesn't have a black background.

   "...and what does That Maniuplative Asshole's voice look like?"   

I think I already said it... it's also green with a black background, but also in all caps. just as annoying to look at as it is to listen to.

"Oh! What color's my voice, now that I'm separated from my brother?"

red, but in small caps. actually, you hold the distinction of the only person I've ever met with a small-caps voice. even TMA's voice is just regular ol' caps-lock. congratulations, Meta, you're special!

[Metabomb smiles.]

   "Of course they're special! They're made of fucking code! It's awesome!"    He rubs Meta's head in a teasing sort of way.    "Same colors, huh. Yeah, I just hope my voice isn't as annoying as his EVEN WHEN I DO THIS!"   

[Metabomb's smile widens as Ikei rubs their head. Cutbug just laughs.] no, Ikei, your voice is far from annoying. actually it's... kinda soothing.

   "Really? Uh, thanks. Are you sure? I mean, I think your voice is...how do I say it? Passionate. Yeah, that sounds right. Your voice is passionate."   

p-passionate? aw, thanks. [Cutbug blushes and rubs the back of her head sheepishly.]

   "I've said this before and I'll say it again: you are the coolest person I've ever fucking met."   

yeah? well, you and Metabomb are the two coolest people I've ever met!

"I... The fact that I count as a person in your eyes is a compliment in and of itself."

   "Same here. Hell, even before I found out, everything's always felt a bit...off, I guess."   

   "But I'm glad I'm here. With you, just hanging out, and being nothing like him. Fuck, imagine if they suc-nope I am not going down that path."   

[Cutbug laughs again, but this time there's a definitive nervousness in her voice.] yeah, that's best left as an unmentioned hypothetical.

"Anyway..."

anyway...

   "...let's play Superduperfuckitwhatevertherestoomanyprefixes Monopoly?"   

"Sure! ....how do we do this?"

Yay! My favorite version of Monopoly!

   "Uh, I think you roll the dice and take cards and move the stuff."   

"Alright then."

Out of the vent...

   I don't envy you if you're starting that. You'll be there forever, or until one of you strangles another for launching a risk army across the board to murder their purchaser while playing the uno-reverse chance card (which makes you pay for your own guy's assassination) right before the purchaser lands on that one property you needed to get the libertarian cult-commune monopoly. Anyway, I'm just deciding whether or not it would be fair to charge you all for damage to the suitcase.   

[Without even looking up from wherever they are, Metabomb shouts to the vent:] "Nobody asked you."

   "Let's just start."    Ikei grabs the dice and a random figurine and rolls.    "Okay. Just need to figure out what these dice say. One...two..."    He begins counting each individual dot on the dice.

   ...So that's a "Yes, Doctor Doctor, we want to be charged for the suitcase as well as for a fancy replacement, for all the stolen goods, and for shipping, handling, it inevitably getting lost in the mail, and also double the final total to cover additional expenses." Got it. Anyway, I'll just watch you play from above. I won't comment too much... I'll be unobtrusive.
