15 Strangers Round AU Meme
Hello everyone! Not exactly that time again, but we’ve got a treat for you today! The Round AU Meme! Essentially, remember those times where you asked ‘What if I’d brought Person X to Round Y?’ Well, here’s where you can answer that question, with prompts for each round and Mock Weeks 2 and 3. We hope you’ll enjoy!  1. Ungodly Magics & Mysteries You know your day is going to be awful when you wake up on a stone slab instead of a bed. Worse still, it looks like nothing here is past medieval times, in terms of style and tech. Maybe a potion or a sweet roll will get your mind off of this murder business added to the mix. 2. Mall Murder Mania You’ve probably never been passed out in a mall, and even if you did, it’s very unlikely you’d been trapped inside afterwards, told by a young girl to kill to leave. Maybe the fifteen of you can figure out what’s going on in this seemingly abandoned mall. 3. A Fantastic Voyage The technology here is so…odd. The entire place just seems off, no matter when you’re from. Then there’s that loud, obnoxious woman telling everyone to kill each other. With how grating her voice is, maybe you should prepare for someone killing to get away from her. 4. Snakes In Plane Sight Is this a joke? On a plane, headed who knows where, with who knows how many snakes on board, and more dead bodies than you needed to see in your lifetime. And your pilot wants you to add to their number. You might need magic if you want everyone here to survive. 5. Soul-Sapping Situations This mansion is awful. Rooms like caskets, dust and spiders everywhere, the fact that you were brought unwillingly-and the rules about murder didn’t help things. The entire situation is a disaster, and you can only hope that you and the others don’t lose your minds. 6. Off The Rails A chance to explore the deepest recesses of space, the final frontier…and instead, you’re on a train with fourteen others being made to kill each other. No one among the locals cares when you ask for help. Such a hopeless situation, you may as well gaze at the beautiful sun above. 7. Home Sweet Homicide You and fourteen others in a house in space, trapped by an evil A.I. It wants you to kill each other, but when there’s so little room? Seems impossible, if you don’t want to get caught. Let’s hope no one proves that thought wrong… 8. The American Nightmare A town with no people, other than your fellow captives. This isn’t the first time that this has happened to you, and the same goes for everyone else. And yet, you hesitate to trust the others…probably reasonable. You all know how this goes, after all. |
no subject
No...I don’t think they would...
But isn’t that enough of a consequence? That she’s going to have to live with what she did, with her family and friends knowing, and at the cost of Zack? Or do we really need to kill her because she got upset that she’s losing her brother instead of her own life?
[He knows what would be worse to him. Question is if everyone else sees it the same way.]
no subject
That is not simply "being upset". That is something else entirely and you and I both know it.
[Guilt only works if the person shows something of contrition. Which...well, sorry Eliza, but you didn't win brownie points today.]
no subject
But...]
How would you feel if you did something awful, were fully willing to accept the consequences, and instead...someone you cared about a lot took the fall for you, because they didn’t want to see you hurt? They wanted you to keep going, despite it all. Would you really be calm? Would you be happy? Or would you be hysterical and angry and irrational?
Would you be like her?
no subject
I know what you're trying to say. But in the end, no matter how I would feel, the answer is no.
I wouldn't kill those who didn't pose any danger to me or others just because I was angry. That justifies nothing.
[Well, not anymore, but...that was centuries ago. Hindsight is a bitch.]
no subject
Then...are you going to do this now? In front of her brother? The guy that managed to get enough people to vote for him to save her? You're going to make him watch her die again and realize it was all for nothing?
[He's not trying to sound angry, but it's showing through. He doesn't want anyone else dying now. They've already got two people. Isn't that enough?]
no subject
She planned to murder someone, and did. She has made it clear she will keep murdering. If you are trying to prevent more people from dying, from having added guilt to their conscience over those who succumbed to this game, you are not convincing me this is not the best way!
[Her voice sharpens.]
Seven people dying at least, depending on whatever other small ills Eliza decides is worth killing someone else over with her immunity, against Atsushi, Eliza, and Zack at most. Both are as a result of Eliza.
Which one. Makes. Less sense for as many people surviving this as possible.
no subject
He wants to fight more, but...he's not sure what else he can say. He doubts he can convince Koel. Hell, he'd need to convince himself first, that sparing Eliza wouldn't go horribly wrong. It's awful...but it's the truth.
…there's still one thing he can do, though.]
Don't make him watch. He's already going to die. Don't make this the last thing he sees. Please.
[Should be clear who he's talking about, considering the glance he shoots at Zack.]
no subject
anyways]
...
I would come over and have him turn away from this scene myself, since it's no longer the quick thing it was intended to be. However, I don't trust her to not try to find a way to attack someone even in this condition.
King...would you be amenable to helping me in that respect?
no subject
Sure, I...I guess. Should I cover his eyes, or blindfold him, or...?
[He's got an idea, but...he's not sure of his powers real limits, at the moment.]
no subject
[Yes, King, you did. But you can only do so much.]
no subject
[He's pretty sure Zack would be most comfortable going over there and killing Koel before she could get another stab in on Eliza, but that's a non-option here.
So he's going over to Zack and...getting taller. Changing shape.
Looks like somebody lied about there powers. But...it was probably obvious, after he got a knife through his hand.
When he gets to Zack, instead of King the corgi, there's a cheetah standing tall there. And he's hugging Zack, keeping him from looking towards Eliza, no matter how much he punches and kicks him.
Koel gets a nod her way.
Get it over with.]
