15 STRANGERS TEST DRIVE
There are 15 strangers in this place. Someone knows why. And its clear the odds are stacked against you.

1. ARRIVAL
You're here, in what can only be described as a primitive bunker. Where are are you? What happened to your powers? Your memories? And who else has been so unlucky as to be brought in with you? And why are the rules so...authoritarian?

2. POWER
You have been, er, "blessed" with a power. Its not a power you want or care for, but its yours now. You might want to try an control it, lest you hurt someone else. That is...unless you want to. Just don't blow up any public property while you're at it.

3. HOME
Nothing says trapped like being in an underground stone prison. But you're here now. Here with no technology or modern convenience of any kind. How in the world will you fare? Aside from just drinking all the time. That's probably what all the booze in the kitchen is for, after all.

4. ULTIMATUM
The Intercessor has announced the motive for the week. Clearly someone has it out for you to kill. How will you react? Will you stand against such an insult and help others to fight the temptation? Or perhaps, you yourself are tempted...?

5. DEATH
One of your own has died - been killed. The Inquisition has started. The body lies before you, and now you must discern the truth from the clues before you. But can you when you mourn? Or, perhaps you don't mourn the dead. Perhaps you're only playing along because you know more than you let on.

6. TRIAL
The Intercessor did warn you that killing is little more than a violent cycle in this game. Now you're here, looking to condemn the responsible killer. If you do, they die. If you don't, you die. Whatever happens, you have to figure out what will happen. And what did happen. But can you?

7. WILDCARD
Perhaps you want to do something else other than the above. A different prompt entirely. Perhaps, then, you will.

OH NO!! YOUR DRINK!!

NOW WHAT WILL YOU HAVE??

[ OH GOD IT'S THE SKELETON - take a deep breath, Laslow, it's fine! It's just like talking to a person, only if they had no skin! ]

Ah, I have no idea... but perhaps anything was better than this?

[Ah, he understands! Laslow is so stunned by Papyrus' general amazingness that it's hard for him to handle!]

I AGREE!! BUT SURELY THERE IS A WAY TO REPLACE YOUR DRINK? PERHAPS IF WE KNEW WHICH DRINK YOU HAD!...

[ It is definitely something like that!!! Laslow is too polite to scoot away, but be rest assured, if he were not he would scoot away just a little. ]

I would rather find something else, actually. Perhaps of the no booze variety...?

[Well, naturally, this must be a drink...puzzle of some kind! ~~Hey, he might as well, right?~~ Now, to find something without booze!]

HMM!

HOW ABOUT 'ALE'? IS THAT BOOZE?

Ale is booze. It is merely another type of brew. Ah, I wish we had tea...

[ He slumps a little. Alas, alas, alas. ]

One of my friends from home would declare that we ought to 'drink the blood of enemies'.

...

WHAT ABOUT 'BEER'?

Booze.

I think it is all booze... they seem determined to get us drunk! Perhaps if we kill ourselves by drinking, it counts?

[ What a dark, dark thought. Laslow's eyes flash at the very idea. ]

...

WHAT ABOUT KETCHUP? I'M SURE I CAN FIND SOME KETCHUP THAT SANS HASN'T DRUNK YET!!

...

Your brother drinks ketchup?

[ Laslow gives him a rather odd look for that! ]

DOESN'T EVERYONE'S?

N-no...

[ Laslow leans on a hand, coming closer to Papyrus and then regretting it. AAAH ]

Tell me more.

WELL! SANS DRINKS KETCHUP! LOTS OF IT! AND SOMETIMES HE PLAYS JOKES ON ANYONE WHO TAKE THE KETCHUP AFTER, LIKE UNSCREWING THE SQUEEZE TOPS OFF SO WHEN YOU TRY TO SQUEEZE THE KETCHUP ONTO YOUR FRIES AFTER YOU ORDER THEM, THE WHOLE BOTTLE'S WORTH PLOPS RIGHT ON IT INTO A BIG MESS!!

...

SO WORD OF ADVICE, IF MY BROTHER GIVES YOU A BOTTLE OF KETCHUP...

MAKE SURE THE LID'S SCREWED ON!!

Ah! If he ruined my clothes, I would have to play quite the trick on him in return!

[ Laslow suddenly remembers that he himself ruined his own outfit, and suddenly he is sullen again. ]

Of course, there is nothing left to ruin, is there?

Edited 2017-05-15 03:40 (UTC)

NO, BUT YOU WOULD BE COVERED IN KETCHUP IF HE SUCCEEDED!

...ewww.

[ Laslow's nose wrinkles. ]

That would be worse.

YOU WOULD BE DROWNING IN RED TOMATO GOOPINESS! IT WOULD BE AWFUL!!

D-drowning?!?!?!

DROOOOOWNIIIIING!!
