killtease | AU HEADCANON HASHING OUT POST

15 years ago the city was plagued by a series of mysterious murders. The children of the local elementary school were disappearing, one by one, nothing but a shoe or a shirt to give any trace of their whereabouts. Eventually, a suspect was pinned - without a shadow of a doubt, this man was the culprit - but due to his blood status and a technicality he was allowed free.

The parents of the small town revolted, taking justice into their own hands. The tracked the killer down and murdered him in secret, hiding the body and covering the incident up. The killer merely laughed as he died, swearing revenge upon their children.

Cut ahead to present day. There are strange disrepancies in the records, the children old enough to recall any of the events suspect that something is up. There are photos of children they don't remember playing with in photo albums, the faint, nagging thought that they've forgotten something - not to mention the fact that the last house at the end of the street leave them slightly breathless with terror.

But the younger kids of the town have grown up happy and healthy, unaware of what transpired so long ago.

Other than that, three things to keep in mind:
1. They live on Elm Street (or Street 413 if we want to be extra dorky). They're on Earth. Trolls are still trolls. We can assume that trolls still carry the quadrant system.
2. They attend the same highschool.
3. They've known each other all their lives. Whether they are friends or not is up to you. Past relationships? Current relationships? Go wild. Keep in mind that this is a horror movie AU so if you want characters to be dating? They can totally be dating, so long as you make sure both parties are cool with it and it's not wildly ooc for it to be happening.

Remember. Horror movies are essentially a horrible highschool dramas with murder thrown in.

Feel free to comment to other people to hash some things out!

Name: Karkat Vantas
Age: 16
AU History: ADOPTED. Like Loki. ):

No, really, he's adopted and he knows it. His parents were arrested for being crazy hippies, basically. He argues with his father a lot and thinks the man is trying to ruin his life, even if that's not the case. He generally keeps to himself in school as he thinks everyone else sucks. He sits by himself in the lunch room and eats the home-made lunches that his dad is so proud of, but he is SO sick of seafood, you don't even know. You don't even know.

He tries to build his own computers, but he sucks at it. He takes classes at school and he's getting better, but it's never good enough. On weekends he takes part in Table-Top Roleplaying. In fact, he is the best Dungeon Master you have ever encountered. He also likes computer games.

But more than that, he has an overwhelming collection of awful, B-rated romance movies. He is a huge fan of Twilight (Team Edward, haters to the left) but is afraid to admit it to the general public. Kind of.

He was pretty dubious, originally, about all this creepy mass murder shit he's heard rumors about, but now he's really starting to think that SOMEHOW his own skepticism is going to get him in trouble and potentially make him responsible for everyone dying. It will just work out that way.

Unless he becomes the best leader. EVER. Which he will. Whether you like it or not.

Anything in particular you're looking for?: EVERYTHING

So how do you feel about a dead girl keeping you from sleeping too much KK? If sleep is even a thing that accidentally happens, that is.

He was pretty good at being the sleep screamer in canon, but he won't mind competent people helping bark out his orders. It'll be learning from the alphas and making the connections to the whole sleep thing, first.

Well, aa also has to die first to be of any help, so that works too!

Die first to be of any help?

That was the plan! ~~that icon is fucking precious, gosh~~

I THINK WE NEED A NEW PLAN. ~~Isn't it? aogjaig~~

ACTUALLY THE DEAD CHARACTERS will pretty much just be chilling in freddy/ghb's hell dimension dream bubble thing and will only be able to interact with each other akjdh

Oh well that kind of sucks

B|a

They're not totally removed from play but they can't keep fighting against the Big Bad. And like the people who start to figure it out initially and try to warn the others are definitely going to be the first one to go for getting Too Close.

Hi Karkat!!!

...by which I mean hi, John is going to bother the everloving shit out of you forever, KK.

OH GOD WHY.

They should have programming classes together.

Oh God yes. And it's constantly a toss-up between which one of them is worse at it.

They lose at least one computer a week to spontaneous combustion.

It's always John's fault.

Clearly.

Don't tell them it was me.

They just sit there in front of a blown-up computer with their hair and eyebrows singed and the teacher is like /)___< and they're both just like "...IT WAS HIM!".

Glory.

WOW, NO.
WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION FROM IS ABOUT AS RELIABLE AS WIKIPEDIA AFTER AN EPISODE OF THE COLBERT REPORT.

You're just jealous you don't have aaaaaaaall of the luck and skill. :::;)

IF WE'RE PRETENDING WHAT YOU HAVE IS LUCK AND SKILL, THEN I THINK CHOKING ON YOUR DIE WOULD BE A BETTER OPTION.
THAT'S RIGHT.

Jealous much? ::::)
