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!

They did, unfortunately.

[ Sometimes the will of humans were easily swayed and their captor knew just how to entice them to do what they wanted. It was senseless murder and the loss of an innocent life truly did make him angry, but seeing how some others here took this was like a salve to him and he did his best to try and present as more of a soothing presence despite the anger bubbling deep within him.

He wanted to make sure Kalim was going to be okay before he went back to his spot for the trial, nodding in agreement of the younger man's words. ]

I agree with you completely. I absolutely will do everything in my power to try and see to it that nobody else dies here.

[ Something that may as well be the death of himself in the process, but he meant what he said. He wanted to protect the innocent civilians here, Kalim absolutely included amongst them. ]

[Kalim is soothed by Roland’s words. He barely knows him and yet Roland is being so kind, so thoughtful. He didn’t have to come over here in the middle of the trial to comfort Kalim, and yet he did.]

I’ll be all right! [Kalim nods. And surely others could use Roland’s reassurance, too.] We’ll be all right, won’t we?

[He sniffles. Then — oh no — the tears just keep coming. He barely knew the deceased, either, and yet he can’t stop himself. A life, lost! Tragically cut short. By one of their peers, no less, and Kalim wasn’t there to help them.]

[godspiousjasper]

[ Ah. His heart goes out to this poor young man, clearly tormented by this whole mess of events. It's enough to nearly bring him to tears, as Kalim was around Vanitas' age but he wasn't used to such things as death like he was. ]

Yes. The most important step is to keep moving forwards for the one who's life has been extinguished and pray that the Lord will guide us through this hardship.

[ One could never truly forget he was very much indeed a religious man, and also a very affectionate person. If the way he glanced to see how proceedings were going, then moved to gather Kalim into his arms for a hug. ]

Be strong, Kalim. Let's work together to make sure nobody else loses their life.
