15 STRANGERS ROUND 7 TEST DRIVE
TEST DRIVE  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! |

[ His apologetic expression even says he absolutely means it, wondering if he should have been more concise about his position from the very start here. By this point he knows everyone comes from different worlds, and it wasn't as if he knew much about what a 'Devil' hunter really was. ]
It would not be the first time others have thought the same thing, so there's no need to worry. Most people are not aware of my particular branch of the church i'm a part of, but that's from us all being from different places, I believe.
[ His whole face brightened just a touch when Makima mentioned an 'Angel' Devil and it took everything in his entire body not to ask about it, though surely it had to be briefly written across his face. Surely she would not mind if he addressed that at a later point, hopefully. ]
Given what we have unearthed during our investigation? [ Roland gave a curt, confident nod of his head. ] I do. Though I admit it may be safe to bring some form of weapon with us in case our words do not happen to be enough.
no subject
[So it seems like she might be willing to indulge Roland's spike of interest. She's thinking about how this also limits her insight into the culprits, but doesn't want to longer on the unhappy thought of doubting their comrades. She blinks at Roland bringing up physical weapons as well, and her expression shifts into something a little more vengeful.]
Well... I don't have the usual government prerogative to employ whatever physical force is necessary. I'm not one for vigilantes. So I've been very conservative in arming myself. But I do have experience in ensuring cooperation. I appreciate the thought of having someone by my side who might be willing to approve of desperate measures in desperate times.
[Providing at least some substitute for the government that is such an important source of stability in her life.]
no subject
[ A small hum escaped him as he stopped to think about everything. All of them locked up here and placed with heavy expectations he did not approve of. He wished to learn about the others there, to understand them and maybe even try to dissuade some from wishing to commit another murder.
He could only hope others would view him as an open book because he didn't really have anything to hide. The Lord would not let him be swayed by any temptations that could possibly be offered here, he was sure of it. ]
If there are few options left then I truly understand the necessity of desperate measures that may need to be taken.
[ Something dark lingered within his voice and expression for just a fleeting moment but it's soon gone as he offered a confident smile, demeanor much more pleasant once more. ]
As long as you will have me, I will stand by your side and offer what assistance I can in my time here. For I do not desire to see any more people die if it can be properly avoided.
no subject
[That something good could have come out of this... That two people could depend on one another in this place... Nobody could take joy in the circumstances that has led them here, but perhaps there was a brighter future ahead of them?]
Perhaps it's time to head out, then. [She clasps her hands once as she turns to the deceased and closes her eyes. It's not quite bowing her head, nor a prayer - more like asking a friend for permission to take a favor.]
no subject
[ At least he's managed to be a bit less formal here, but given the circumstances it made sense to do so. If anyone needed a fighter here he was glad to assist as he knew how to do that quite well, with a number of weapons as well as hand to hand so that would very much come in handy. ]
I agree. I believe it would be best for us to be well rested for the trial tomorrow.
[ He turns towards the deceased and closes his eyes, bringing one finger in a downward gesture, then brought it up and sideways to make the sign of the cross. Once that's done, he straightened up with the intent to allow Makima to leave first as that was the most polite thing to do. ]
