Disorient Express AU Brainstorming
Welcome, dear players, to Grief Street! You've joined us for tonight's episode, The Disorient Express, a murder mystery aboard a train with secrets and inter-character drama galore.
Given the nature of the game and application, we've provided a collaborative space for you to brainstorm with your fellow players about your AU'd characters. This is where you'll be able to figure out who they are, what they're doing here, and also what relationships they might have to other characters on the train. Relationships can be as simple as "Character A and Character B are gossip buddies", or as spicy as "Character A is having an affair with Character B and is plotting to help kill their spouse". Have fun with it!
Remember to be respectful of each other's ideas! If you have any questions or want to talk about something you want to keep secret, feel free to reach out at
Player Name: That's you!
Character Name: You can also add their AU name here, if you're changing their name.
Canon: If they have one, that is.
Age: How old is your character?
Occupation: Describe what they do for a living!
Appearance: A brief visual description of your character, if you're changing the way they look/dress/etc.
About: Write a few sentences about your character's AU. This doesn't have to be finalized in the slightest, but it'll help give people an idea of what your character's vibes are! It can be in paragraph or bullet point form--whatever gets the point across.
Looking For: What sort of established relationships are you looking for? Family, friends, enemies, rivals, etc? You may also want to discuss are potential relationship hooks (occupation, country of origin, habits, etc) to help others collaborate with you. You're also encouraged to integrate other player characters into your own character's secrets!
Additional Notes: Anything else you want to put down!

Oh good, these two are going to be so sweetly poisonous! you better believe Kotoko would lean in on the "oh I know you weren't involved (since you don't have power in the family)", haha.
idk how much you want to fill out the details of what happened--maybe the Ushiromiyas scooped them on a deal, or pressured the Iwanagas into getting involved in something that backfired? or Krauss hit them up for a loan he hasn't paid back? I'm down for anything, including just handwaving!

Pressuring them and then washing their hands if it goes wrong sounds just like their style. That will work -- although honestly Krauss crawling back when things get dicey for him and taking a loan would be nice to have as well, just so Kotoko knows there's signs the Ushiromiyas are not doing well. That's something I sure am keeping and something I'm writing Eva would really like to keep under wraps. Have to keep the facade the family is doing great, and someone who can threaten that image like Kotoko is really going to have her bothered, haha. I'd love that.

oh man, having both sounds perfect to me! I love this, Kotoko can and will hold that over her head. (we can delete these if you wanna keep this more secret, too! I say very belatedly 😂 )
