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!

Chainsaw Man works alone. Wouldn't a band be Chainsaw Men? I suppose technically the name of a band can take any form.

[Yes, bow down to Makima's superior knowledge of Chainsaw Man. No one knows more than her about him.]

You make an interesting point. If Zero only shows us these dolls, then the threat is not a fully substantiated one. [Does someone really want to go to the mat for a blue rabbit? Is that an abstract symbol of a threat or something?] Although kidnapping us at least is within their capabilities.

[onychomance]

An album title would suffice.

[Any form indeed. He'll move on though, the motive really is the more pressing issue here.]

But is that enough to take them at their word? Imagine the satisfaction a psychopath like Zero could get from pulling the "assumptions were made" card on a desperate killer.

If you took it at face value, would there be a difference for you?

[She has to get in some teasing. It's quite strange having so little information about the background of the people around her.]

...Little would satisfy Zero more. I doubt that the worst case scenario for any of the models for these dolls will come to pass. The peculiar structure of the rules surely hasn't been lost on you. Zero is seeking a series of chances to shed blood that may well flow from a gash on the head of a frantic friend body slamming the door that just might have his loved one on the other side.
