15 STRANGERS ROUND 7 TEST DRIVE

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!

...

Never lived to see the end of one of these.

[He admits, not looking her in the eyes. He knows that he's showing his hand in regards to fully knowing how these play out - even moreso with that statement - but he was never one for secrets and lies anyway. That was...someone else's game.]

But, uh, if I had to hope for anything, eventually we find out who is running the show, and we take 'em to task. They're hiding, anyway. That means deep down, they're probably pretty weak.

[That...sure is some wording. That's making Anya wonder if this is the second time she's talking to a dead person. Or if Kaito was simply taken in the middle of one of these.

She wasn't even sure which answer she'd prefer.

She stares for a moment, before letting out another sigh.]


Well. Let's hope you get your wish, and that you're right about them being weak. Otherwise this is gonna suck even more than it already does.

[She's never really been the optimist. But better to not rain on his parade too much, right?]
unpossibilities: u got dis (oh so needed hero)

...It's probably too optimistic to believe that for most people, I know. But, hey, I'm still here. I have to believe in everything turning out for the best for the people that aren't. I have to believe for the people who can't. If things are bad like this, there's only one way from rock bottom, and it's up.

And if you can't believe in that, believe in me believing in that. That's a little bit easier, I think.

[He smiles sincerely. Some things never change, and Kaito carrying on the hopes of others is one of them.]

[Anya listens and...she can't help but give a small snort.]

Alright. I think I can do that much at least.

Gotta admit though, that was really cheesy.

[Is she turning to joking around to relieve some of the tension that comes with finding a corpse? Maybe, but hey, everyone has their coping mechanisms. There's much worse out there.]
