15 STRANGERS ROUND 7 TEST DRIVE

[strangerpeople]

15 STRANGERS ROUND 7 TEST DRIVE There are 15 strangers (give or take a few, this time around) on the ship. Regardless, someone wants you all dead. Why? And what is a funyarinpa?... 1. ARRIVAL It's time to wake up in your berth on this not-so-fantastic voyage. Why are you here? What happened to your powers? Memories? Who are these other people that've also been abducted? And...what is that smell?... 2. POWER It turns out you have been...'gifted' a power. It's not something you asked for, but you've got it now. It might be best to figure out how they work. Or don't. It's up to you. From chaos comes order, after all! 3. HOME Well, may as well make yourself comfortable for the foreseeable future on this ship. It's not like Zero is letting you go anywhere they don't want you to go. But perhaps you can find something that can help you get out of this situation! Or...maybe you want to give up and just drink in the lounge. That's an option too! Either way, you and your fellow Strangers won't be bored, at least? 4. MINIGAME Apparently Zero has decided you're not entertaining enough on your own, so now you're being tasked with playing in this game. And why not? You're technically on a cruise ship, so why not have some games? You could put some effort into the game, or maybe you're just done with this [BLEEP] by now-it's your choice on what to do. 5. MOTIVE You knew this was coming. Zero has decided they've waited long enough to see some bloodshed, and have released a motive to incentivize you into killing someone else. How are you feeling about it? What motive has Zero come up with? And...are you thinking about doing it...? 6. DEATH It's happened. One of your number has passed on-killed by another Stranger left in your group. There they lay, clear as day. It's officially time to investigate. How will you do so? Look over the body? Look around the room for evidence? Find a room that you believe is suspicious and search there? Or maybe you aren't up for investigating and would rather mourn your loss or pass out. It's up to you. 7. TRIAL It's time to focus-either you solve this case, condemning someone to death for the murder they committed, or you vote incorrectly, executing an innocent person. You've got a limited time to figure out what happened, and if you get it wrong, everyone dies. Take a deep breath, look at the evidence, and do your best to nail down the guilty party before its too late! 8. GUILTY ...Oh. It turns out you were the one responsible for what happened-you are the murderer! Why did you do it? Was it the motive? Was it something else? Are you sorry? Or was everything that has happened between you and the survivors a means to an end? Now is the time to confess everything-you're not likely to get another chance before you're executed! 9. WILDCARD Have an idea that wasn't mentioned above? Do it! Go crazy!

[...she did not expect him to actually ask.

And she's not very surprised when there isn't any immediate response.]

I really don't know what you were expecting.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

....He was so talkative just now, though.

[threwabone]

And he's also a psychotic jerk that kidnapped a bunch of people, put them on a boat out in God knows where and told them to kill each other if they want to leave.

I think it's easier to just not question the motives and just try and find a way out of here alive.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

...I guess so. Though I haven't found anything except that...that door.

[The X-Door.]

[threwabone]

I...may not have been paying enough attention at the last meeting - what door?

[not_a_lego_maniac]

...The X-Door. The one you have to write the codes in the escape?

Apparently it...only opens once and once it closes...you're stuck in here forever if you didn't leave.

[threwabone]

Right, right.

[Sigh]

I think my idea is still valid. He's a psycho that just wants to see us suffer.

[Simple as that.]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

...that's still horrible. The idea someone would do this for fun...

[It's obvious it doesn't sit well with Zack, even as he sits down in a chair.]

Can it really...just be that simple?

[threwabone]

I've seen horror movies where that's more or less the whole reason behind the situation, so at the very least I don't think it can be ruled out.

[But she does notice how Zach is taking the suggestion, and yeah, can't help the little bubble of regret over making him worried.]

But I'm also a cynical teenager from the third worst private school in my state, so my opinions might not mean much.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

...only the third worst?

[They list things like that???]

Um, I mean...state? What state?

[threwabone]

They make a list of all of them in terms of quality, and there were literally only two worse than us.

[Not even hesitating to drag her school through the mud. Literally everyone she knows would do it, with like two or three exceptions.]

Rhode Island.

[not_a_lego_maniac]

....That bad, huh.

I'm from New York, myself, even if I don't exactly sound like it.

[Yeah, there's hints of a British accent in his voice, isn't there.]

[threwabone]

Yeah, well, I was originally born in Russia, so I'm not gonna doubt you just because you're not wolken 'ere.

[Putting up the most stereotypical New York accent, just for fun. And there were no signs of a Russian one before that, so it seems like Zack isn't the only one at least.]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Ha, nice. I was born in New York-ah, the state, not the city-but...my parents are British. Obviously.

[threwabone]

Ah, okay.

[Easy mistake to make, she was pretty sure.]

Any idea plans for...this whole situation? I think most of us wouldn't kill for money, but it still might be good to be careful.

[It's always been a motive in the normal world, she probably shouldn't expect a difference here.]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Well, I'm not going to kill. I barely know any of you, still!

I'll probably get some books and hole up in my room or...something.

[threwabone]

Fair. I'll probably do the same except maybe setting up a movie marathon. Depends on what kinds of stuff is here.

[She thought she saw a classic movie or two in the rec room, may as well see if there's anything else good.]

[not_a_lego_maniac]

Oh, that sounds lovely! Maybe if we do that every night, everyone will be too tired or distracted to hurt anyone, yeah?

[



It's a nice thought, at least?]

[threwabone]

I...am not gonna hold my breath on that working, but it wouldn't hurt to try, I guess.

[Nicer than she could've said it, at least.]
